I’ve already mentioned the details on the new, modern Italian-American red sauce joint, GREAT GOLD in the former Foxsister, and hey now, it’s open. Check out the menu here. Open Mon-Sat 6pm-10pm and Sun 6pm-9pm. 3161 24th St. at Shotwell.
There’s a new Vietnamese gastropub in SoMa, HOWARD TAPS, in the former Gaslamp Cafe, serving banh mi (like Nashville spicy chicken banh mi) and bun (vermicelli bowls) for now. Once their license kicks in, they’ll be serving SF microbrews, plus an expanded menu with wings, rice plates, and more. They’re all about local ingredients and products, like the espresso they use for their Vietnamese coffee. They’ll also be serving brunch (jook!), lunch, and happy hour (with tacos, 3 for $7). There’s outdoor seating (it’s pet-friendly!), and they will be playing sports on big-screen TVs. It’ll be a good spot if you’re getting your car fixed in that area. Happy hour will be 4pm-7pm. Open Mon-Fri 11:30am-9pm, Sat 10am-10pm for now. 1599 Howard St. at 12th St., 415-812-1863.
Also in SoMa, the fast-casual SOWL BOWLS THAI STREET FOOD has opened in the former Split Pea Seduction, serving Thai-style rice bowls (with white rice, brown rice, garlic rice, or garlic noodles as the base), sticky rice burgers, and satays. There’s also a party spread for three people ($22.75), lemme know if you want to party! :) Open Mon-Fri 11am-5pm. 138 6th St. at Minna.
There’s a new South Indian spot in the Mission that has a good-lookin’ menu, ADITI INDIAN CUISINE. The menu includes dosas, vadas, frankies, and there’s a pomfret fish fry that’s catching my eye.
