Stefanie from San Francisco

About me I grew up in Vacaville, 45 miles east of San Francisco, and moved back to San Francisco 3 years ago after spending 8 years in Washington, DC. While I was on the East Coast, the Bay Area was never far from my heart or email exchanges.

Godzilla Sushi San Francisco

Small but mighty

""Godzilla Sushi" San Francisco is my favorite sushi place, because it is a refreshing break from the trend. It's very cheap. And the wine is even cheaper!"

There are a ton of sushi options in San Francisco and many of them are very expensive. Godzilla Sushi is a refreshing break from the trend. Located in Lower Pacific Heights, Godzilla Sushi has a true neighborhood feel. The walls are covered in Godzilla posters and paintings!

On a Sunday night the small restaurant is packed with families, couples, and friends catching up at the bar. If you are looking for a fine dining atmosphere, this might not be the place for you. But if you are in the mood for a low key restaurant with great food, this is the perfect spot.

The average rolls are $ 5 - $ 8- you can barely escape Starbucks without spending $ 5. The most expensive item on the menu is the Sashimi Combination which is $ 18.50 but includes 14 pieces of sushi! The only thing better than the sushi prices are the wine prices- a glass of California Red table wine is $ 3. You can also get a beer for around the same price.

Godzilla is a great spot for either lunch or dinner. They don't take reservations and seating is limited so it isn't the best fit for parties larger than 4.

Damnfine Pizza

Best Pizza West of Divis

The name of the business, for once, is no lie, it is pretty dang fine. A personal favorite is the Pig in the Woods: pancetta, enoki, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and truffle.
