new restaurants

SQ and I love to go around our neighborhood trying out new restaurants. This weekend we tried out two places.

LOU'S CAFE (on Geary, between 14th and 15th)
This place opened about 4 months ago. We found it via Yelp. They serve sandwiches, soup and coffee. We ordered the LLB Special (roast beef, turkey, ham on Dutch crunch). It comes with Lou's special sauce and jalapeno sauce. Also ordered a custom sandwich with chicken breast and avocado. We also ordered a cup of clam chowder. I must say that I absolutely love everything we ordered! the clam chowder was really delicious, even better than Boudins IMO. Nice service and clean atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

SAWAII RAMEN (on Irving between 23rd and 24th)
This place also just opened. It used to be Macau Friends before it went under. We ordered the fried tofu as appetizer. The tofu came in a plate with the sauce. The tofu was a bit soggy because of the sauce. I think I would have liked the sauce on a separate plate. We also ordered the pork ramen. Really disappointed with the meal. While the soup and noodles tasted fine, the bowl only included 3 pieces of cha siu, seaweed, bamboo shoot, and wood ear. That was it. No bean sprouts, no egg, no fish cake, no red ginger. So it was kinda blah.
