Park Chow

Park Chow Review

What do spaghetti and meatballs, Thai noodles with chicken and shrimp, and big burgers have in common? They're all on the eclectic comfort-food menu at Park Chow, and offered at unbeatable prices. This neighborhood standby is also known for its desserts: fresh-baked pies and ginger cake with pumpkin ice cream are standouts. Kids get their own menu, with items such as a burger, grilled-cheese sandwich, chicken, fish, and pizza to choose from. In cool weather there's a roaring fire in the dining-room fireplace; in warm weather, get there early to snag an outdoor table. Up early? You can sit down to breakfast on weekdays and brunch on weekends. The original location is in the Castro neighborhood.
