where to eat tonight in the outer sunset

does anyone have recommendations as to where to go for good (and cheap) food by the outer sunset?

[jenwong]

Definitely Ming's for Chinese food, Win's for noodle soups, Parkside for cheap but good set American, Italian dinners

[intomeat]

you can try Old Mandarin Islamic. Lots of brown stuff to choose from.

Second that. About ten months late for the original request, though.

If you're interested in Cantonese, Ming's Diner on Taraval is a good spot.

When I was in the Outer Sunset yesterday morning, I noticed a place called Jook Time on Balboa near 35th that had a "Grand Opening" sign on it. Any chow opinions on this place?

Balboa?
isn't that the outer richmond?
that is right near the shanghai dumpling shop.

i am interested in trying this ming's diner though. what is the cross street?
i usually end up at Win's at 42nd (?) and taraval for the ribs and ducks.
mmmmmm

Ming's is on Taraval at about 30th Avenue.

Thanks, you're right, that's the Outer Richmond. It felt like the Sunset to me 'cuz I started out on the other side of the park and seemed like I was driving forever. (g)

Jook Time is near Shanghai Dumpling King (I noted the signage change), on the opposite side of Balboa.

I've linked some recs for Ming's Diner below. Here's the address courtesy of "San Francisco Bay Area ChowNews".

Yes, Win's for duck. Who ever knew that wilted (intentionally) iceberg lettuce could be so good?

I'll second Ming's. I used to live at 32nd between Santiago/Rivera - I used to go to Ming's about once a week. Having moved out of that area, I rarely get back there as it's a haul for me now (live in San Bruno, work in SF FiDi); however, I did go about two weeks ago. Food hasn't changed... thank God!

I'm a fan of the wonton soup, chicken and salted fish fried rice, and (this might not be the actual name) beef with onion and peppers... among many other dishes.
