Pretty Good Bay Area Restaurants

Recently I've discovered that the South Bay... really isn't a good place for eating.  Sure, sure.  People say we're diverse.  The people is great. The food is awesome.  But if a friend from outta town were to come here... I wouldn't know what restaurant is a "must."

So I reached out to some of my close, glutton friends.  Here's a list.  I personally haven't tried all of them, but here's a list nonetheless.  Not ranked in any order, whatsoever....

1.  Yummy Tofu and BBQ (best seafood pancake) https://yelp.to/qTKq/JdjqnqbdgP
2. Nick's Next Door - pricey American https://yelp.to/qTKq/rBEb8VkdgP
3. Dan Izakaya Sushi Bar https://yelp.to/qTKq/LCOK89tdgP
4. Lei Garden - not the BEST Dim Sum, but overall best bang for the buck and not a crazy wait time like that OTHER place.  https://yelp.to/qTKq/b25WRlDdgP
5. Must Be Thai https://yelp.to/qTKq/AukGMWQdgP
6. Los Gatos Cafe (Brunch) https://yelp.to/qTKq/0qTQbJ4dgP
7. New England Lobster Market and Eatery https://yelp.to/qTKq/lErWvPbegP
8. Thai Love You (very small place) https://yelp.to/qTKq/6DQzzDffgP

10. B Patisserie (a bakery - get the kouign) https://yelp.to/qTKq/yIEzDt6cgP
11. Hog Island (get the seafood stew, chowder, and of course...oysters) https://www.yelp.com/biz/hog-island-oyster-co-san-francisco?osq=Hog+Island

I'm sure there are more... and this list is probably very shoddy.  But hey.... next time I need a place to go, I'm gonna start with this list.  BOOM!!
