The Best Restaurants in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Chef Nite Yun is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most singular cooks. There’s her love of black pepper, incorporating the spice “by the handful” as Cesar Hernandez writes for the San Francisco Chronicle. There’s her storied past — including the ascent and decline of her first restaurant Nyum Bai amongst her tales — captured lovingly by Netflix’s Chef’s Table: Noodles. The accolades, the myths, don’t matter. Lunette’s well-priced, crunchy, chewy, and spicy menu is some of the best food in the city, and certainly at the Ferry Building and along the waterfront. The Khmer Fried Chicken Wings, lightly battered in rice flour and served with a lime, are one of the smartest ways to spend $16. It’s a run don’t walk situation. Best for: Rolling through on a weekday — preferably a sunny one to take advantage of the outdoor seating at the Ferry Building — to catch up with a friend over a mind-blowing testament to Cambodian cuisine." - Paolo Bicchieri
