My favorite "breakfast" near SFO is dim sum at Fook Yuen in Millbrae, 5 minutes from the airport. They open at 10 AM and if you get there then, there's no problem getting a table. The dim sum is excellent, some of the best in the area. Dinner is even better - this is a terrific Hong Kong restaurant.

It has been the site of many a FlyerTalk gathering BTW.
