affordable SF area dining

[M2d]

so as to not hijack the other SF dining thread too much, what you guys got? this subject may be too lowbrow for ElD, JAS, Haakee and the others who seem to only eat freshly cured bacon off of the bellies of virgins, but some of us like good old rib sticking food.

I contribute:
M's Cafe on 9th and Irving in SF for the cheapest, biggest, best (corned beef hash that's fried thin so more surface area is crunchy) breakfast you can get for pocket change
Le Metro Cafe on Divisadero for rock bottom pricing on good french food (not the heavy sauce type, but actual food). we called in one day to see what the specials were and were told that the chef wasn't back from the market, so they didn't know yet. that pretty much sold us on the quality/freshness.
Millbrae Pancake House on El Camino in Millbrae for anything (but breakfasts are killer!!).

Charanga on Mission btw 19th and 20th for great Caribbean accented tapas and a laid-back atmosphere.

Can anybody recommend a good Korean BBQ joint?

Brother's BBQ is the standard answer, and it's quite good. I, however, prefer King Charcoal. All the good Korean BBQ joints in SF are pretty much in the same place on Geary in the Avenues.

Better Korean in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale. Better still, go to LA. Brother's is better than King Charcoal, IMO, and according to all of my Korean labmates.

Your labmates will be biased depending on where in Korea they are from. But Communists like me go to Brother's and park illegally at Cala Foods.

They're from all over Korea. My one buddy has this great story from when he was a kid. He's from the country, right, and the elders wanted to have BBQ dog. The dog apparently looks like an Eskimo Spitz, but bigger - a huge, white dog. The best part is to kill the dog & tenderize the meat, they hang the doggie from a tree and whack at it with sticks - like a pinata. You don't stop until the dog's tongue flops out of it's mouth, signalling that it's dead. He said he's still traumatized by that.

"Better Korean in Santa Clara/Sunnyvale."

I agree. I like Korea House in Santa Clara.

is that the one on El Camino with the parking lot in the back and the separate dining area in the back for large parties? if so, that place rocks.

This is the place with buffet during lunch hours?

Been trying to go there for awhile now.

The Garden City in San Jose has poker and a pretty good dinner house.
