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.

Java House is good stuff. You still haven't taken me to Tommy's Joynt - only that damned steakhouse by the ballpark. FU.

That tapas place in the Mission is good (16th & Valencia). Diablo knows the name - I forgot.

Re: affordable SF area dining
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.

South Bay pho better than SF pho from my experience. Tu Lan @ 6th and Market is quite a bargain though, with better than avg pho for SF. [/ QUOTE ] San Jose and Oakland Chinatown are the best in the area that I've tried, but the SJ places I've only tried at around 2 AM with massive amounts of beer in me, so I'm not sure if it was actually good. In SF I like PPQ, but I always end up getting a rice plate there, so I can't really comment on the soup. |

La Taqueria, El Farolito, and scores of other Mexican joints are of course also great bargain dining. Oh, Shalimar and Pakwan, excellent cheap Indian/Pak food. |

Re: affordable SF area dining
Since you said Millbrae Pancake House, i'll assume you're pretty close to there. A good place to eat in San Bruno on El Camino is Don Pico's. Great mexican and very reasonable 10-15$ most meals, of course you can order something nicer for 20-25$
