New England Lobster Eatery
You won't have to wait in line any longer at this palace of seafood—thanks to a remodel there’s even more seating inside and out. Set in an industrial warehouse, the space features a nautical theme—painted buoys hang on the walls and seawater tanks are filled with crustaceans. Expect nothing less than a fresh meal in this buzzing eatery, which is both a fish market—selling oysters on the half shelf—and restaurant.Kick things off with the creamy lobster-corn chowder. (For dedicated fans, frozen to-go quarts are offered.) Then go for broke with the lobster roll served three ways: dressed with ma

Thanks to its modern setting and late hours (by San Mateo standards, at least), a growing crowd of smart couples and tech types flock to this San Mateo sweetie. Everyone is here for the authentic Italian eats from Chef/co-owner Andrea Giuliani, who dishes up the cuisine of his native Veneto.The dining room has a view of the charcuterie-aging room and those artistically presented salumi boards of fennel-flecked finocchiona and exceptional salame al parmigiano. The wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas are equally strong—try the porchetta variation, topped with gorgonzola and radicchio. Of course, the pa

Hunanese cuisine may have once taken a back seat to the Bay Area's roster of Chinese spots, so it’s no wonder that this snug gem has attracted many a local and curious palate. Try to snag one of the beautifully carved booths in the back — then you'll be privy to the goings-on in the kitchen. Settle in and begin to peruse the menu of specialties. Boldly flavored dishes incorporate oodles of smoked, cured and fermented ingredients — from the tender, juicy stir-fried cilantro beef, to the pungent pork, black bean and pickled chili mixture that tops a mound of spicy, hand-cut godfather’s noodles.
Kajiken
Originally from Nagoya, Japan, Kajiken has landed on the West Coast with the promise of shaking up your noodle routine with abura soba. This noodle dish is similar to ramen but eschews the broth, instead punching up the flavor courtesy of a special blend of oils and sauces. The springy noodles are made in house (score a seat facing the windowed noodle-making area) and are satisfying enough to eat plain, but with nine varieties, why? Toppings range from ajitama and chives to kimchi, ume or spicy mentaiko. Tables are topped with a well-chosen selection of vinegar, hot sauces and powdered nori fo
WebsiteSushi Yoshizumi
Reservations may be hard to secure, but rest assured that it is completely worth the effort. Cherished by expats yearning for a taste of home as well as sushi purists, the tidy setting is consists of little more than eight seats, a cypress bar and that ever-present chef’s work station.The menu is built around Edomae sushi, a style that Chef Akira Yoshizumi spent years perfecting in both Japan and New York. Omakase highlights may include soy-glazed tako, delicate chawanmushi with squid and snapper; or grilled cod with finger lime and wasabi. A parade of expertly crafted nigiri is judiciously dr

Note: Temporarily closedSet back in an ordinary strip mall, the vibe and service at this sushi jewel are anything but. Wonderful, warm, and gracious, diners here are in for a treat. The interior is sleek and stylish, with dramatic pressed-tin ceilings and a coveted eight-seat counter. Naturally, reservations are a must, especially for the omakase, complete with items that can hang with the best in San Fran.Fans of nigiri should make a beeline for the chef's selection, but the more discerning palate will revel in market specials, like silky Hokkaido scallops, sweet and succulent live spot prawn
