Pomelo- San Francisco, CA

Right near the USCF campus, Pomelo is a restaurant meant for two and three person parties. It has an open kitchen, and serves delicious Asian fusion meals. The special for that day was paella, served with mussels and other delicious seafood.

And because it was the special of the day of course, we decided to get that and their famous noodles to share. The waiter said that their well-known noodles were featured in two dishes: the lanzhou and the manila. We ordered the lanzhou, which also came with lotus and tuna on the top.

While the texture and slightly peanut-y texture of the noodles was different and interesting, their special, the paella, was far better. Restaurants aren’t always generous with the seafood, but luckily, Pomelo was kind enough to lather both seafood and delicious flavorings on their dish.

The open kitchen was also a special luxury; restaurant-goers can eye their meals as the chef is cooking them, as well as notice the unique style of asian fusion cooking.

Though small and a little tight, I would definitely visit Pomelo again– and not all the items on their menu are as expensive as the paella. For reasonable prices, Pomelo offers excellent food, generous quantities, and quick service. In fact, there’s usually a line out the door.
