Number one on the list is Nopa. The takeout menu changes on a daily basis, offering Californian style dishes crafted with quality ingredients. If it’s available, don’t miss out on the Nopa Burger and Chips. It’s undoubtedly the best burger in town. Along with the eats,
Nopa offers pantry items, cooking kits and even some drinks for that full date night experience…or the I’m-hungry-and-sheltering-in-place-alone experience.
What to order?
Nopa Burger & Chips.
02
Numero dos, but number one for sushi in the bay. Put simply, Elephant Sushi is fresh. Fresh ingredients and fresh menu items. The star dish is of course the flaming sea bass, but sadly we’ll have to wait until the restaurant reopens for that.
What to order?
In the mean time try the Sizzling Mango Seabass and the Ya Man Roll. Two of my favorites.

Located in Nopa, Che Fico Alimentari offers Italian eats inspired by the wine bars of Rome. The takeout menu offers a few family meal options, but you can also choose from a wide variety of special Italian pantry items and wines.
In addition to offering tasty Italian easts, Che Fico Alimentari has been providing meals to families who’ve been affected by Covid-19.
What to order?
The takeout menu is posted everyday at 3pm, but if you’re lucky you’ll catch the Braised Short Ribs—an Alimentari specialty and my go-to dish.

Are you tired of eating all the canned food you stocked up on? Or maybe it’s the failed sourdough bread attempts? Get some fresh and healthy eats from Wildseed. It’s open 7 days a week and offers takeout and delivery.
What to order?
The menu is 100% plant-based and 100% delicious. The star dish, in my opinion, is the Mexican Corn Cakes. Order at least two of these.
06
Um.ma. brings the flavor of Koreatown, LA to San Francisco. Um.ma., which is Korean for mom, is a homage to mothers and their unbeatable homestyle cooking.
Located in the Inner Sunset, Um.ma. is serving most of their menu through takeout. Choose from a wide selection of Korean comfort food like Kimchi Fried Rice, Bibimbab, Bolgogi and Korean Fried Chicken. *Drooling noises*
What to order?
Anything off the barbecue. I’m partial to the Bulgogi.

Mission
Takeout — Order online
Delivery — Uber Eats, Postmates, Caviar
If pizza from Naples and New York had a lovechild, it would be Pizzeria Delfina. It’s easily one of the best pies in SF and is still serving takeout at their Pac Heights and Mission locations. Along with serving most of the usual menu, you can pick up an at home pizza kit.
What to order?
It’s not all about the pizza here, though. My go-to is the Chicken All Diavola. A whole chicken, a whole lot of delicious.

Four words: Burmese style comfort food. Located in the Inner Richmond, Burma Superstar offers takeout and delivery.
What to order?
You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here but the house speciality is the Tea-Leaf Salad. I’m also a big fan of the Burmese Style Curry and Samusas.

Russian Hill
Takeout — Order online
Delivery — Uber Eats, Caviar
Chubby Noodle is a long-time weekend brunch favorite where you can nurse your hangover with hearty Chinese eats.
What’s unique about Chubby Noodle is the dining experience combined with a side of hip hop music. Don’t worry though. You can still get the full experience by grabbing some takeout and scarfing it down to the sound of the official Chubby Noodle Spotify Playlist.
What to order?
Spicy garlic noodles. Spicy garlic noodles. Spicy garlic noodles. Need I repeat that again?
