Been in the neighborhood for at least 20 years. Run by a Japanese man every day. Great price and big sandwiches. Personally I love the avacado sandwich, but there are many choices. You can call in advance, and should, to avoid waiting in line.

Great take out or delivery, just have them leaave it by the elephant and text you when it's arrived instead of ringing the doorbell . Good sushi, miso salad, grilled salmon, fish and chips. Haven't tried the mexican style choices yet.

Food scene

This will require a short uber or lyft but worth it for vistors. Oldest restaurant in SF and my downstairs neighbor Kurt is the general manager there so be sure to say HI. Call for reservations.
