Had caught some good reviews in a couple of places about this cafe and thought i read that it was opened by a chinese owner who lived in SF for a while. So i thought i'd try it out for a late afternoon lunch. Soup and sandwich combo (clam chowder and a smoked turkey on ciabatta).
Soup was above average, a little rougher texture than i expected from a cream based chowder, from all the potatoes. Sandwich was sub-par, a couple slices of turkey, a sad looking slice of cheese, etc. Typical of any run of the mill sandwich joint.
Service was a bit weird. I'm not a big fan of people who hover, and the overly casually dressed guy who seemed to be the owner or manager was overly friendly in a creepy kind of way from the time i walked in. The clippings of all the news articles with pier 39 profiled in them speaks of cheesy promotion as if it were run by a singaporean.
All in all, i'd go back for the chowder if i needed a hit of that, but otherwise, won't be back.

Sliver of a San-Fran cafe, perenially crowded - not that it's tough to be, in a four square-meter spot. Signature is the 52rmb clam chowder in a bread bowl, but they're also selling plenty of their healthy sandwiches and salads. No sets, but lunch for around 50rmb. Drinks extra. From 11am on.What's nearby

Pleasant neighbourhood style cafe and bar, located among fashion and gift stores, making a perfect rest stop in between the shopping. View listing »9 User have added this venue to their Favorites:
