I’m a fan of Plow.
I like the ricotta pancakes, the monkey bread, the fried egg sandwich. The potatoes that come with the sandwich and pancakes are really good, too.

Thanks @PorkyBelly. It’s definitely on my list!
The only downer is that they seem to open closer to lunch (11:00 a.m.) on weekdays. So it’s the from same owners as Koi Palace? But better?
Oh I didn’t realize they open at 11 on weekdays, I would still try it out if you can.
Yeah, same owners of koi palace, have you been?
Hi @PorkyBelly,
Thanks. No, I’ve never been to Koi Palace. Given that, Dragon Beaux is still the better choice, right?
Thanks~
Yes, stick with dragon beaux.

Are you referring to the original spot in Chinatown that closed over a decade ago?
They reopened in Fremont, and recently launched another one in San Bruno. Sadly not really breakfast times in the new location (11am). I recall breakfast at King Tin eons ago though.
Chinatown. Haven’t been to SF in awhile.
It was perfect. My favorite jook to this day. Even better was afterwards I got a few egg tarts from Golden Gate Bakery to enjoy at Portsmouth Square. Still don’t understand how could a placed like that shut down.
Since this has expanded beyond downtown SF I’m throwing in la ciccia as a must visit for the baby octopus and the spicy spaghetti bottarga.
This topic was never focused on downtown SF. The original poster asked for restaurants within a 15-20 minute Uber ride of City Hall, which is virtually the whole city. I changed the title to reflect that.
I have to get to LC .The bottarga pasta sounds sublime . I will most likely order a abundance . And call it a in house Bang Bang .
Hi @robert,
Well please forgive my ignorance. I’m not sure what the neighborhoods are for SF, but I knew we were staying in Downtown SF. From Google Maps it looked reasonable enough to ask for restaurants in that general area, and I merely stated that a 15 - 20 minute car ride (taxi, Uber, etc.) was within our tolerance given itinerary (i.e., if places were 30 min - 1 hour+ away obviously that would be too far / time lost given our places we needed to be at).
Thanks.
You said “Near City Hall, within reasonable Uber distance (say, 15 - 20 minutes out),” which is a huge chunk of the city, so the recommendations people were giving didn’t really match the “City Hall / Downtown” title.
Got it. Thanks.
Ha yeah that is true. Quite good. I’m not too sure either. I don’t quite remember but was it possibly a rent issue or a family thing?
I never really probed too much into it.
