Food Scene
Doppio Zero
160 Castro StGreat thin crust pizza. Especially nice to sit outside.
Updated Vietnamese food. A little on the pricey side, but worth it at dinner. Lunch buffet is all-you-can-eat and less expensive, but the food suffers from sitting out.

Best Cantonese food in the area. A lot of people call it "Americanized" but it is actually quite similar to Cantonese food I had in Hong Kong. Owner Larry Chu is a great community contributor.
