"The onion pancake at this Noe Valley spot is an even golden brown throughout, like it’s pretending to be an influencer with a bronzer partnership. There are fewer layers than other scallion pancakes on this guide, and a milder onion flavor, but it’s still a bubbly stunner. And when you sink your teeth in, you’ll still get a satisfying yet airy crunch. Starting off with a round or two of these for the table is a move we always endorse." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
