Love Lers Ros. Might be time to go back.
Unfortunately in that area quite common in the moment
I consider it interesting.
Just wear thick rubberized boots and you’re fine
I agree with Saigon Sandwich, and Brenda’s — both excellent. And yes, as others have said more explicitly, there’s lots of meth, etc., in this neighborhood. Walking up Larkin, I would take the right side, avoiding the left — especially right after / above the federal building. That section of street has been awful for years — and recently it’s often even worse.

Yeah, that area’s been depressing since the first time I visited in '97.
I don’t know when you were here the last time but it has gotten much worse the last 2-3 years

+1 for Brenda’s
Definitely check hours-- lots of SF places are closed on Mondays, e.g., Mong Thu, which I’d otherwise recommend.
A La Turca used to be very good, but it’s been ages since I’ve eaten there. Huh, De Afghanan Kabob House moved to FiDi.

Downtown SF has changed much in those eight years - and not for the better
Sad and truly shameful. But we got safely into our hotel.
Tomorrow, the tough task of choosing from everyone’s great recommendations 
Brenda’s is looking pretty good, but of course I wish I were in town for longer than just 24 hours…

My favorite lunch when we used to stay in Noe Valley was getting sandwiches from Bi-rite market and walking over to Dolores park and enjoying the (usually) nice weather and people watching.

That sounds wonderful for a sunny day, but it’s raining & I’m sandwiched out for the foreseeable future - had them for lunch & “dinner” while traveling).
Amazed it’s raining up there. 75 and sunny in Santa Barbara! Also love the Burma Superstar on Valencia and of course La Taqueria on Mission.

Where did you end up ?
Lers Ros… we were the first lunch guests, so we probably didn’t need a rez after all 
Got the grilled pork shoulder salad and the roast duck laab. Both very good, but not as amazing as I remember. Super-friendly service.
Turned out to be a really nice day, so we bopped around the Haight & Castro for most of the afternoon.

Is that your only meal here? I like Souvla on 517 Hayes. Casual Greek, fantastic salads with rotisserie chicken pieces, great potatoes.
Souvla. there are a few different locations
Thanks, but I’m long gone. Hope it helps others
i wonder why it just showed up in our news feed?
I have absolutely no idea how notifications/news feed works on this site. I just look at whatever’s new/latest.
