Mouthwatering Barbeque in San Francisco

707 Sutter

★★★★☆ 3.9 (994) • $$

"I had the pleasure of dining at 707 Sutter, a cozy Korean restaurant, around 6 pm. At that time, it wasn't too busy, but as we settled in, more customers started to arrive--a clear sign that we were in for a great meal.Food:I ordered teriyaki chicken with white rice, and we started with a plate of shrimp. The food came out hot and well-seasoned, with generous portions that were perfect for sharing. Every bite was delicious! We ended up passing dishes around the table and still left with a few to-go boxes. Those dishes included Spicy chicken, chicken wings, fried rice with vegetables and beef dumplings. The flavors were rich, and the BBQ chicken had that perfect smoky sweetness. A special mention for the shrimp appetizer--crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. It really set the tone for the meal!Service:The service was top-notch. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing, making sure our glasses were always full and checking in just the right amount. It's always nice when you feel well taken care of but not rushed.Ambience & Cleanliness:The atmosphere was pleasant, with plenty of seating, which made it comfortable even as the restaurant got busier. The dining area was spotless, and the clean bathroom was a plus. It was easy to relax and enjoy the meal in such a well-maintained space.Extras:I also enjoyed a hot cup of saku, which warmed me up, and made sure to stay hydrated with water. The contactless payment was convenient, and I appreciated the modern touch.Overall, 707 Sutter exceeded my expectations in every way--great food, excellent service, and a clean, comfortable dining environment. Highly recommended if you're craving Korean BBQ or just a fantastic meal with friends or family!"

Capelo's Barbecue

★★★★★ 4.5 (721) • $$

"First time here, and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite spots on the Peninsula. When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw someone actually chopping wood for the cookers--now that's authentic Texan barbecue! Finding this level of barbecue along the Peninsula, or even across the Bay, is rare, so I'm thrilled to have discovered this place.I stopped in on a Saturday for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive barbecue menu. I opted for the 3-meat plate (with two sides): brisket, Louisiana sausages, and pork ribs. Everything was perfectly cooked--succulent, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. While the proteins were outstanding, the sauces deserve just as much praise. The "Capeliente" was a standout; I loved it so much I went back for a second cup. The DiabloXX (smoked habanero and jalapeño peppers with ghost pepper extract) had a nice spicy kick, but it wasn't overwhelmingly hot, which I appreciated. I also tried the Porklicious South Carolina Mustard and Sweet Kansas sauces, but the Capeliente and DiabloXX were my favorites.The sides were classic barbecue staples, rounding out a complete and satisfying meal. The venue offers plenty of parking, along with indoor and outdoor dining areas and a bar. I'll definitely be coming back for more very soon!"

Kogi Gogi BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (890) • $$$

"Wanted a simple KBBQ on the southern side of the park and found this spot which is in a busy part of the inner sunset. Wasn't too expensive so we came by on a Saturday night and waited about 15 minutes in line to be seated, which isn't bad.FOOD:AYCE KBBQ. Pretty standard stuff. Solid Kalbi, with standard pork belly, brisket, and beef tongue. They have all your standard stuff with solid sauces - plus they have ssamjjiang which not all places have. Solid banchan as well. Overall a solid offering for a decent AYCE price.Steamed egg. A hybrid of steamed egg that they finished with HOT oil, which basically made it a fried scrambled egg on top, which was good, but not really what I wanted when I ordered the steamed egg, but definitely a cool offering - just have to know what you're getting into.Overall a good spot to just get some simple KBBQ at a decent price without the frills. Not the best quality, but without the wait and at this price, I might make this a more regular spot for me when I'm just trying to casually get some KBBQ. Service is solid so I'll likely be back."

K-Elements BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.8 (878) • $$$

"If I could gatekeep one spot, I would gatekeep this one. I've been coming to K-Elements since high school and the price and quality is unbeatable for an AYCE spot. Whenever we try another kbbq place, we always compare it to K-Elements as the standard. Unlimited meats at a very wide variety, individual cups of cheese corn, and very attentive staff always ready to help change out the grill. The dining room is huge and each table can accommodate parties of 2-6 at least and plays kpop music in the background, usually with a sports game on the big tvs. You order on your phone via the QR code placed on your table, and they bring out the meats and sides on little trays. Even back when I was in college K-Elements was the must-visit every time I came back to the city. Do yourself a favor and get the kalbi short ribs--they're the best. My only complaint? I wish the grills were bigger so I could eat it all faster :P"

Kam Po Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (665) • $

"I have to admit I've only been here once, but I already think this should be considered required dining in Chinatown. Between this and the tarts at Golden Gate Bakery (if it ever reopens), you've got a pretty good start on the prototypical Chinatown sustenance experience. I only became aware of this spot from a youthful vlogger who convincingly raved about the portions they serve here and how she's been coming here for years since it was such a good deal.It's on the corner of Broadway and Powell, so you'd expect it to be busy during the lunch hour. However, I got lucky and had to wait only for a senior woman who was buying a whole roast duck and having it chopped in a very peculiar way. I didn't see a menu or really have an opportunity to ask for one since the two men behind the counter were busy chopping meat and filling takeout cartons. Good thing I knew what I wanted though and ordered the $7.75 Roast Duck Plate (photo: https://yelp.to/_hME3M1-K5).I was amazed at how much duck I got and how much rice was underneath. I asked for some boiled cabbage just to break up the carbs and got it. I didn't eat it here but took it to nearby Woh Hei Yuen Park (review: https://yelp.to/XwtIch49ZB). Big mistake. The picnic tables were taken, so I had to sit on a bench where my duck was attracting a flock of hungry pigeons. Even with my arms flailing to wave the pigeons away, the duck was certainly tasty enough, and I'd definitely return.FOOD - 4 stars...incredibly cheap chunks of roast duck over rice. Tasty enough.AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a no frills space with no menu in sightSERVICE - 3.5 stars..,they're not paid to be niceTOTAL - 4 stars...hungry in Chinatown?...come hereRELATED - Exploring Chinatown? Here's my collection of places I've patronized and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2WoF1Z2"

Redwood City BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (532) • $$

"We had visited this location before but can't remember if this was the same name, Redwood City BBQ. Anways, stopped in for dinner with a friend. They have a restroom but it's outside. Interior is simply designed.We ordered and shared these BBQ meals. Served with 2 side & slice of bread. The meal also comes with pickled cucumbers, red onions, and jalapenos.Burnt Ends with potato salad, baked beans & cornbread. The burnt ends were juicy and smoky. The beans were good, though maybe a little underdone on some of the beans. But smoky, and had some heat from the smothered spicy BBQ sauce. The potato salad was pretty tasty.Brisket with French fries, coleslaw, & garlic bread. The brisket was tender, juicy. A good mix of lean and fatty. The coleslaw needed something. It just seemed.like chopped cabbage. I wouldn't order this again. The fries were hot though potato-y. So a bit underdone.Pork Spareribs with French fries, mac n cheese, & garlic toast. The ribs were tender, juicy, and smokey. I'd definitely get this again! The Mac 'N cheese was good.Stubborn Black Cherry Tarragon Soda. I enjoy this flavor alot.The service was ok. Not the friendliest. They seemed preoccupied with other things or not having a good day."

Hawaiian Drive Inn

★★★★☆ 4.2 (486) • $

"Fast and casual food to go, no dine in but the portions are BIG, and the price point you cant argue with it, always gotta get the chicken katsu with double mac salad and an order of spam musubi and chicken katsu musubi ! And they got the cheapest double cheeseburger in town! Its a Plain jane cheeseburger, so simple yet delicious!"

Hana Hawaiian Barbeque

★★★★☆ 4.3 (453) • $$

"Surprised I haven't reviewed this spot yet. Been here a handful of times now and the food is good, service is fast and quantity quality ratio is really good. Staff is friendly when ordering over the phone or in person. At busy times best to call ahead but today decided to come in around 7pm and they got my 3 orders ready in under 10 mins. Sometimes when busy they will tell you 20 mins. Pretty standard seating for a Hawaiian spot. Like a fast casual spot from the 90's and it's still the same as the 90's. One of the better more consistent spots for Hawaiian in the peninsula."

Pinoy BBQ ATBP

★★★★☆ 3.9 (535) • $$

"I was passing by for a daily routine and noticed this place took over the previous Vietnamese food joint?It's been a while since I saw another Filipino food place so I figured there is no harm in coming by.I only ordered one pork skewer to give it a try, and just enjoyed it. Taste wise it's about as good as it gets, Filipino food at fair prices is respected regardless."

Wooden Charcoal Korean Village Barbecue House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (615) • $$$

"Quality/Quantity - We got the following and as usual, we over ordered:3 different soups - See pictures. All of which were good.Two pancakes - Seafood and Korean Style Mung Bean Pancake; my preference was the seafood pancake. But the sauce was way too salty for me.Bibimbap - Our guest's rice/starch base for his meal.B.B.Q. Short Ribs - Marinated; two orders. My favorite entree. Too bad after our HUGE lunch, see Dragon Beaux Yelp review, I just could not eat so much. Plus I am a light eater.B.B.Q. Chicken - Good, but not as good as my BBQ short ribs.B.B.Q. Rib Eye - Marinated; this was not as good as the short rib.Fish - Fairly meaty. BBQ Pork Belly into thin slices (spicy bacon) - The first time having this and it was good. Not spicy at all in my opinion. Too bad I am on a health kick and cutting back on bacon, fatty foods, etc.Clear Yam Noodle - If this came out sooner, it would have been my starch instead of the white rice. Good quality and quantity of side dishes, banchan. Started with two sets and got a few refills. See pictures.Washed everything down with OB and Cass beer.They also offer self service charcoal BBQing/grilling.Atmosphere - Open 7 days a week from noon to 9pm or 10pm.Metered street parking.Small local business. Service - 5 stars.Always better when you (our guest and my wife) know the owner. :)Because we stayed so long, we had our tea filled several times also.Price - $450, some of the above dishes were complimentary as we are/were regular customers. And on top of that, we got treated by our guests. I tried to pay, well for at least half the bill and still got rejected. Our guests are so generous. We tried to pay for both meals today, but ended up getting treated... And if you know, both meals today were really expensive.Owner Comment - Congrats on your 19+ years of success! See you next time we are in the city."

Warehouse Buffet

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (715) • $$$

"We LOVE warehouse buffet. Such a hidden gem in foster city. Seated right away and there's always someone asking how we are doing, if we want more or if we need a grill change. Service is amazing! The place is quite huge, with a bar and sides/sauce bar as well. Love that it's right in the water! Plus the price and quality, unbeatable!! They have hot pot and kbbq."

The Grill House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (417) • $$

"Local watering hole. As someone who frequents this location almost weekly I can say I have nothing bad to say.The staff are so friendly and attentive. The food is great and I love the daily specials which mixes things up. They source most of their food locally in the Bay Area.For anyone wanting a good solid meal with great service I highly recommend. They do have TVs all around playing different sports and have a bar section. Kid friendly and outside seating for those bringing pets. My favorites are their deviled eggs, apple chicken salad, pot roast and pretty much any burger with garlic fries!"

Breakwater Barbecue

★★★★☆ 4.4 (313) • $$

"Delicious barbecue and a must try when driving along the coast in the Half Moon Bay Area. The staff is always friendly, and provide great service. If you're a bbq fan like me, I recommend indulging in the Gold Rush platter. The indoor dining area is a bit small with limited seating, and they routinely run out of their more popular meats, so going earlier in the day is your best bet to getting the full experience, especially on a weekend or beef rib Sundays."

Purple Rice

★★★★☆ 4.2 (310) • $$

"Came here on a whim with some friends and now it's one of my favorite Korean restaurants!Ordered the Galbi, Rice Cake Soup, Ramen, Kimchi Fried rice. Everything tasted incredible and the portion sizes were generous.Service was quick and efficient too! The restaurant itself was fairly plain, but the start of the show is the food... you need to come here!"

Hawaiian Drive Inn

★★★★☆ 4.2 (302) • $

"Oh my goodness this place has a special place in my heart that started when I moved in down the street and decided to take my baby for a walk over 12 years ago and have never stopped coming here since!!!!It's a hole in the wall that you can't take everyone lol Complaining types! LolIt's dirty it's it's grimy.But it hits every time My order teriyaki steak plate extra well doneAnd the cheeseburger I gave it a nickname Nasty burger!!! It makes sense once you take a bit It's greasy gooey and full of flavor mayo and cheese only with frys"

Seoul Garden

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (480) • $$

"The restaurant is very big. Lots of seating.The dolsot bibimbap to me lacked flavor despite adding gochujang. The rice however was perfect with the nice crispy rice on the bottom. Dolsot Bimbimbap with beer was almost $30.00. We'll probably not go here frequently due to the prices."

Hawi Hawaiian BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (282) • $

"We got the family deal tonight , Fish, BBQ beef chicken, rice and Mac salad. Everything was so good ! Found our favorite Hawaiian BBQ restaurant! The BBQ Beef was made perfect , just how we like it ! Highly recommend this restaurant!"

Hahn's Hibachi

★★★★☆ 4 (282) • $$

"A SF Favorite of ours for over 20 years! Used to always go to Jack London and then Polk locations until they closed but our picture is in the collage on the wall :)Always get the BBQ Any 2 Combo with chicken/pork, salad, and bean sprouts - food comes out hot and it's so good! Bi Bimbop is a close second and mixed tempura, gyoza and stuffed mushrooms are also tasty! Original owners are still hard working and sweet - great food and service!"

Friendship BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.3 (238) • $$$

"One of the few late night restaurants that my friends and I stumbled upon on Yelp and decided to try. There was a decent amount of parties inside so we had high hopes. We love skewers so we quickly placed an order via the QR code on the table. We ordered some chicken gizzards, clam noodle soup, bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, and a skewer combo which comes with assorted skewers. The noodle soup was nice in warming us up. I was impressed that it had a good amount of clams. The skewers were pretty mediocre in my opinion. I've had better at other places. The seasoning wasn't that great. I preferred more cumin and chilis. The grill that keeps everything warm was not hot enough so nothing really stayed hot when eating. It was hard to separate some of the items from the bamboo sticks. Overall for the price point and flavor, I'd prefer to go elsewhere."

Beque BBQ Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (412) • $$

"I hadn't tried this place previously because of the low reviews but i was pleasantly surprised. Pretty reasonable prices for 2 hr all you can eat and the sauces were nice. The service was super fast and friendly.It wasn't too smoky and they had some tvs playing K-pop songs."

Buckhorn Grill - SF 845 Market

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (386) • $$

"Stopped here for lunch in between a couple of meetings, and decided to go with the Tri tip burger, fries and drink. $25 after tax and tip. The burger itself is $13.50, and is a good size and pretty filling. My critiques would be that was way too greasy and messy. It's dripping which is not always a bad thing but the burger patty itself was dry. The bun was glistening with grease and overall, definitely room for improvement. The fries are basic and typical frozen to fryer, definitely needs some salt. Horseradish sauce mixed with the bbq sauce was a good mix though"

Cheung Hing

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (369) • $$

"Someone recommended this spot to me. I was apprehensive with the Yelp reviews being so low but I had to try it based on the recommendation so I decided to order takeout from Postmates. Here's what I got:1 - Westlake Beef Soup - one of my favorite soups and so underrated2 - Fish with Tender Greens - simple and clean3 - Braised Mustard Greens with Mushroom - they don't specify on the menu but these are Shitake mushrooms)4 - Young Zhou Fried Rice 5 - Two Item BBQ - I choose roast duck and roast pork (I could taste the crispiness in the duck skin and the crunchiness in the roast pork skin)Given that this was a to go order, everything was packed really well in plastic containers and as for the taste, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh and high quality. Everything tasted as I would have expected for this kind of establishment. Nothing was too over-seasoned or greasy. Just as expected, no surprises. I can't say anything about the service or ambience because I didn't dine in but this will definitely be on my list of rotations when ordering out. One thing I love about ordering Chinese take out is that you'll always have leftovers that will still be good and last a few days."

Hardwood Bar & Smokery

★★★★☆ 4.1 (224) • $$

"Stopped here after a quick visit to the jewelry center around the corner. I ordered the caesar salad and added some brisket on there for $7 extra. Worth it. My partner got the brisket sandwich and potato salad and loved it as well. Very tender meat and smoked to perfection. I enjoyed their house blonde ale too, very extensive beer and cocktail menu. Service was friendly :) Will definitely return when we're in the area!"

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

★★★☆☆ 3 (404) • $

"Ordered catering for the past two years (2023, 2024). Worked with the manager, Millie. Millie made the ordering process very easy. In 2023, she even delivered the order herself!The food was great for the large group, yet, there were still alot of left overs.Give them at least 3-4 days advanced notice, so they can prepare for your order.We will order from them again next year."

KAOKAO Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (158) • $$

"Super quaint hole-in-the-wall spot, came here on a Sunday around noon, and was surprised to find it empty! You order and pay at the front and then find your own spot. Not a huge selection of options so we went with what seemed to be the staples--KaoKao Chicken ($20) and KaoKao Char Siu ($24.5), and seated ourselves upstairs. There were quite a few flies buzzing around, so do wish they had some sort of mild bug control. The decor also was incredibly minimal; definitely didn't feel much in the way of charming atmosphere.Once the food arrived, though, I was blown away! The service brought it up pretty quickly, and both the Chicken and Char Siu were well-presented, and well portioned. The Chicken came with a chickpea curry and white rice, and was cooked perfectly with a nice smokey flavor, and the Char Siu was melt-in-your mouth, and crispy on the outside. Definitely one of the best Char Siu I've had in the US. It came with cucumbers and rice as well. Splitting the meal between two relatively hungry people, we still had enough to take home leftovers. Overall, great spot, super underrated, and well worth a visit!"

Feng Ze Yuan 鋒味館

★★★★☆ 4 (213) • $$

"Yum! Fantastic dim sum and Cantonese cuisine. Aside from your usual (but still yummy) favorites like Walnut Shrimp, they also offer dishes like Typhoon Shelter Baked Oysters and lots of Claypot dishes that will warm you up (so needed in these parts of the 'hood). Restaurant setup for your usual family and friends gatherings and/or take out and delivery. Located on Balboa Street and 45th Ave; just a few blocks away from Ocean Beach."

The Skewer Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (218)

"Skewer Bar is a must try if you're looking to dive into the flavors of Northern Chinese style skewers!From skewers, side dishes, beer and an abundance of non-alcoholic drinks ... it really doesn't get better than this. Great place to get together, drink and have some small eats and yap. Definitely, not a place to be "full" and more of a social and/or drinking food.They have $1 cans of Snow beer, which an easy to drink beer and nice and light. Perfect for cutting through the spicy and oily skewers.10 Mini Beef Skewers - sooo tiny, they give you 10 skewers for a reason. Each has the tiniest morsel of meat, I would pass on this. It does taste good and is nice and fatty, just so small.Lamb Skewers - delicious, fatty and not too gameyChicken Skin - super crispy, think pork rinds but with chickenTofu Skin - a great substitute for the prior but made with tofu, slightly crisp and a good chewSquid Tentacles - nice bouncy texture and fresh tastingTaiwanese Sausage - sweet, savory and fatty.Steam Bun - steam buns brushed with their signature spice blend, this is a good accompaniment to any of the meat optionsFish Ball with Roe - if you know, you know. Soft, but bouncy fish bowls with roe filling. Kabocha Fries with Salted Egg - this was a shock to the table, but the kaboca fries were thick cut, hearty with a light tempura style breading. Light and crispy with tender interior. The fries are then tossed in a salted egg sauce and was the perfect blend of salty, sweet and fatty.I really enjoy the cumin and chili forward spice blend they use for a majority of their skewers. Very addicting and accents all the meats and non-meat well.Service was quick, skewers came out quickly. Vibe was really chill, just everyone having a good time over skewers yapping it up and spilling tea. Comfortable seating and the place is a decent size."

Hing Lung Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226) • $$

"Hing Lung is still one of the most authentic Hong Kong-style Chinese food in San Francisco. I've been going there since their original location in SF Chinatown. So why only 3 stars? Overall, I was happy with my recent visit. Food was good, the dining experience was enjoyable, but when it came to the bill...!!! I presented my credit card and the waitress told me that there will be a 3% charge for using a card. Many places only accept card if your bill met a certain minimum, which is certainly understandable, especially with mom & pop stores, to implement this policy since the credit card fees are quite high and it means they basically make little to no profit if you have a small bill. But charging for simply using a credit card is outrageous. There was no forewarning. Merchants are obligated to display all possible additional charges at the register or any place where it's viewable by the patron, such as on the menu. I didn't see any on the menu; but I admit, I don't know if it appeared at the register since I was dining in the restaurant and there was no reason to walk up to the register. I learned today that what they did was wrong. Effective July 1, 2024, California passed California Senate Bill 478, which made it "...illegal to surcharge credit card transactions in California...California businesses are required to disclose the total price for goods and services upfront to maintain transparency and protect consumers from being surprised by additional fees when it's time to pay.""

Chef Li's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (198) • $$

"I asked a homie where I could buy a whole roast pig for an important event. The homie who understands the lingo recommended me this spot. At first I thought he was talking that hole in the wall with that step up into the kitchen with them Pokémon cards that remodeled but when he gave me the address I was amazed like what ? This store? The fire pit roast Chef definitely has a roast degree pHD as it clearly showed all the way through. I been here a couple times for the hot pot but this was my first time grabbing the bbq. This whole suckling pig so far is the best I had. Super lightly salted and the skin crispy AF! The meat was baby tenderThank you to the staff and management. This place is a one stop shop for Chinese food, bbq and hotpot"

Meat Time

★★★★☆ 4.2 (170) • $$$

"My boyfriend and I have been eyeing this spot for awhile and decided to walk-in on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy at the time we arrived, but we were told the next available seating was at 8:30pm, which was an hour from the time we arrived. We were ok with that time.We were seated and the server explained the menu to us since it was our first time dining with Meat Time. We decided to order the meats a la carte. We ordered the Teres Major Tender Steak (Wagyu), Yakishabu Brisket with Golden Egg Yolk, Large Beef Intenstine, Pork Belly and a side of white rice. I'm glad we didn't order ayce because it was the perfect portion for us since we didn't have the appetite for ayce. From all of the meats, our favorite was the wagyu. It was marinated well and was tender! Everything was pretty good and our server was attentive even though it seemed like they were short staffed.Side note, be careful when cooking. The grease from your meats drip down and a large flame might appear! I made sure to keep my face away and far from the grill. Also, the bathrooms and floors were kind of bad. They were dirty and the floors are greasy so be careful..."

Hawaiian Drive Inn

"Chicken katsu sandwich, spam musubi & steamed broccoli. This place had 4.3 stars on Google and I was in the neighborhood so I decided to stop. Very polite owners & food was delicious. Definitely recommend :-)"

Top SF BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.7 (172) • $$

"We've been working on trying all the places on our stretch of Clement, and I wasn't looking forward to this one since the overall reviews were so mediocre, but we actually really enjoyed our meal here and will definitely be back.The seasoning on the skewers is delicious and they were cooked well. The beef and bacon wrapped enoki were particularly good. The whole grilled eggplant is covered in garlic butter and meltingly tender. The authentic baby wontons were adorable and delicious. The pork and cabbage dumplings weren't notable but were good for variety. The service was polite and fairly quick. I like that you order by marking up the menu. Looking forward to having this place in the repertoire!"

Aloha BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (193) • $

"3.5 starsI got the chicken katsu mini and spam musubi trio. I'm not giving it 4 stars because the katsu sauce was runny or watered down, which changes the taste and experience a bit."

Joy Hing Bar-B-Que Noodle

★★★★☆ 3.5 (155) • $$

"Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars. This place is bomb. Came in with a group of 14 and they sat us in the private room. Pretty good spot for some pho and broken rice plate as we came back from Tahoe."

Fire of Brazil Express

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (171) • $$

"I don't understand why this has 3 stars cause the food was delicious and affordable!!!Located in the Westfield Food Emporium (food court, really), Fire of Brazil Express wasn't like any other mall food court restaurants there. I initially was looking for grilled food but gave up and went to the Powell Station BART to head to the airport/home. When I got underground, I saw the mall area and thought I'd take a look. There's so many restaurants there! I didn't look any further when I found FoBE!For $10, I got 2 HUGE pieces of chicken and 2 sides: paella rice and fried plantains. WOW!!! I sound like I'm overselling it but it really is that good!! The chicken came out of their broiler and they had the sides out. The chicken skin was light and crispy. All were flavorful! They also gave sauces and I chose chimichurri.They guy that helped me was super nice as well! He took the time to explain what the difference in the menu was.I cannot recommend this enough!!!"
