This Chinatown newcomer specializes in food from China’s Guangdong province, which means braised lamb or beef stew, steamed vermicelli with shrimp, or wontons and fried fish balls, all served until 3 a.m. daily. Anthony Bourdain’s favorite burger shop, Sam’s, is a storied late-night destination just a few blocks away, too.

Bob’s, San Francisco’s undisputed king of late night doughnuts, is known for its apple fritters and signature crumble donuts roughly the size of the tire on a kid's bike.

This classic San Francisco late-night diner has stood the test of time, continuing to serve three square meals a day in the Pork Gulch neighborhood. The menu is full of the usual fare — think burgers, pancakes, and good ol’ fashioned American apple pie, but with a Portuguese flair in the form of bife a Portuguesa and linguica sausage.

Clement Street in the Richmond District is a bevy of incredible restaurants, but not so much in the as the night stretches on. Genki Crepes and Mini Mart is there to answer the call, though Naya Dessert Cafe holds it down, too. Where else can one pick up a red bean ice cream and banana crepe while stocking up on shrimp chips? Weekdays the shop is open until 11 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays until midnight.

You can order one of the many outstanding cocktails at ABV until 2 a.m. every day, but if you want in on the menu of grilled abalone mushrooms or soft shell crab tacos, you’ll need to get that order in by midnight. There’s plenty to please — from meat and cheese platters to a fried chicken sandwich — but the star of the food side is the burger, which comes with white cheddar cheese, raw red onion, shredded lettuce, pickles, and a tangy special sauce.

Despite its humble exterior (it is, after all, housed in a former garage), Toyose is one big party. The late-night Korean hideaway serves up hefty portions of Korean fried rice and saccharine soju cocktails until 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. During the week, the party ends at midnight.

The witching hour for El Farolito is after midnight, as it metes out burritos the size of bricks until 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturdays — making it a late night pit stop for both the hungry and the inebriated. What it lacks in ambiance it makes up for with the sheer size of its offerings, which you can explore until 1:30 a.m. Sunday to Thursday. Now available to the North Beach residents, too.

This Bayview pizza joint’s name says it all — the slices keep coming until 2 a.m. every day of the week. Fans order from this shop for the Halal pizza, burger and fries combos, and fried red snapper for just $8.
