Squat & Gobble Cafe

Copy Link

Because "squatting" and "gobbling" shouldn't really go together, and it feels like you're a turkey for eating there.

Asian Box

Copy Link

Unfortunately for Asian Box, a square container full of street food-inspired Asian food is not the first thing that comes to mind here.

Kaka Udon Kitchen

Copy Link

People can't get their heads out of the toilet when they see Kaka Udon, a resounding favorite for the worst restaurant name in San Francisco. The website's "fresh made" claims definitely don't help matters.

The Old Clam House

Copy Link

The name of this restaurant gives us that no-so-fresh clam feeling. The Stinking Rose and Dead Fish, are in the same restaurant group as The Old Clam House, which gets bonus points for its tagline: "Have you had your clam juice today?"

King Dong

Copy Link

King Dong might serve great Mandarin Chinese food, but we want to give it a high-five for all the wrong reasons. This restaurant is way too big for its britches.

The Wurst

Copy Link

No matter how good the sausages are here, this restaurant's name is still The Wurst.

B & M Mei Sing Restaurant

Copy Link

This restaurant's name just puts a bad taste in your mouth.

Sidewalk Juice

Copy Link

Because foraging in the woods is one thing, and sidewalk juice is something else entirely.

Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe

Copy Link

We don't know who Rudy is, but this name is a fail.
