House of Pancakes

IHOP, it ain’t. This no-frills Outer Sunset cafe serves chewy, flavorful Asian-inspired pancakes in a dozen varieties, from chicken, pork, lamb, and beef to vegetarian-friendly renditions like sesame, veggie, and onion. The spot’s specialties are the beef roll pancake, which envelops tender slices of juicy beef, and the pungent, slightly spicy green onion pancake with egg. Nothing on the list tops $10 and most of the meat-free versions hover under $5, so you can stuff yourself for cheap and avoid the usual S.F. brunch lines.
