Chef Zhao Bistro on El Camino has the best Sichuan food I’ve found in the Bay Area so far. Way better than anything up in the city. Around here I also like 31st Union, Chennai Club, and Rasa in Burlingame. The little Mexican restaurant around the corner from me (La Fonda de San Mateo) is probably where I go most often. It’s typical “hot plate” cal-mex food that is nicely done with incredibly friendly people running it. I always feel welcome there.
In SF I love Kin Khao.
