“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“Fresh, delicious vegan food at very reasonable prices! You choose from a menu of 5-6 items to make your plate ( unless you get the option that includes everything!) The food here is simple and delicious, incorporating South Asian flavors, and you feel great afterwards. Mostly gluten-free, including the desserts, and the service is friendly, kind, thoughtful.“

“Genuinely the best breakfast/brunch experience ever. The food was INCREDIBLE the cake tasted so delicious and I highly highly recommend. The service was so great and everyone needs to try this place. There’s also a gorgeous rose garden in the back“

“Thank you Fernando! You are the best! Pokeworks is hands down one of my favorite poke spots — it always hits the spot, especially on a busy work week when I need something fresh, delicious, and satisfying. I have to give a special shoutout to Fernando, who always makes the experience even better! He’s the absolute BEST — so kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. His attention to detail and warm energy make every visit such a treat. Thank you, Fernando, and Michael for always going above and beyond.

Highly recommend Pokeworks — amazing food + even better service!“

“Cozy place, great location, loving people, delicious food and drinks - any time of day! 💕🌷 I stop in as often as I can.“

“I had heard great things about Fava and their ex Chez Panisse chefs. I got to try it for the first time. It was even better than I thought it would be. I got the lamb sandwich (with cabbage, yogurt sauce, and fresh herbs like Persian sabzi, in a lavash like wrap that they make themselves.) I also got some lentil and kale soup with yogurt. So yummy. It took me back home to Iran. So good!“

“The food and coffee were great! Atmosphere indoors can be a bit loud during peak hours. Service was quick and the staff were friendly.
The bar stools inside vary in height and some were too low with respect to the table board across the wall. Otherwise a great place to have breakfast/brunch!“

“From the second we approached the door to enter Local Roots we could feel the positive energy. Very clean very welcoming very nice atmosphere. The menu is amazing and has so many wonderful choices. When talking to Lauren the owner, we were inspired by her vision and passion to provide the best of the best ingredients from all locally grown farms and resources. She is dedicated to support the local businesses and economy. Our salads and soups were delicious! I highly recommend Local Roots. We will be back over and over again. Thank you Lauren and thank you to your awesome team for providing great service.“

“I went there for brunch and I totally recommend it. Be mindful you will have to queue outside, but if that doesn’t stop you, you will enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in town.
We ordered the cdmx and the special of the day. They were both really good and filling.
If they have agua fresca de mango, order it. It is delicious!!“

“The rice at the bottom of the bowl. That's all I have to say. The drippings of the chicken just sink all throughout the rice and pools at the bottom. And it's the BEST part. The roasted chicken was also way better than I expected. Usually the roasted chicken skin at other places is soft but this one was perfectly crispy. The chimichurri was also really good.“

“the margherita pizza is so delicious. i literally only order it everytime, to the point that they know my name with my order HAHA.
super authentic, delicious, and the staff are really friendly as well. I'm lucky to be able to go as often as I do, and i love the food here so much!!“

“Great place to visit sit and relax the sandwich and wine was fantastic and a perfect meal. The crew were very nice people. I highly recommend“

“Salads are soooo tasty and ethics are great too ... go!“

“Incredibly nice people, and great food. Got the Chicken on the Sticks and I can definitely tell why they are known for this. It’s incredibly delicious and I’ll definitely be eating here again. Also great pricing and a good variety of choices, but not too many where you get lost in their selection.“

“Great Service and food. The waiter was amazing and recommended great wine and food“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“The salads here are amazing! I have been here several times and tried different salad each time. No matter what I get, it always tastes fresh and the portion is generous. I highly recommend this place if you want a healthy and delicious meal!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“The flavors are amazing and the options are endless! I love that you can customize your own salad and choose from a wide variety of fresh and healthy ingredients. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast. This is definitely one of the best salad places in San Francisco!“

“Total hidden gem in SF. It’s low key and does take out only, but don’t let that fool you, this place rivals SF’s finest establishments. I moved in a few blocks down the street and have been ordering take out almost every day as I unpack. I’ve tried the chicken hummus plate, meatball and rice plate, and the Beyran Soup. Literally each dish was 5/5 amazing. The soup was the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Super rich flavor, but not overly salty. Just right. Honestly these folks should turn into a full fledged restaurant.“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“After reading the terrible reviews of the nearby supergreen, I decided to try Mixt instead and was very pleased with my choice. The serving was large and reasonably priced, and the food felt very fresh. Service was good, and location is fantastic, with a nice view.

Two tips to share:
1) Instead of building your own salad, customize one of the salads on the menu. For exactly the same selection, customization turns out slightly cheaper.
2) For those who count calories, use the website to make your selection and count the calories first. With some careful swaps (eg, lemon juice instead of salad dressing, grilled chicken instead of fried), you can make dramatic reductions.

My salad in the picture was under $15 and around 250 calories, customized using the falafel salad.“

“Im not a salad guy, but my wife loves salad.

Picked up a salad today from Green and Grains and boy was I surprised at the portion! 1 salad was enough for my wife and myself; with leftovers for later!

Got to speak to Ian for a little bit and was surprised that all the ingredient are organic and locally sourced. Including the pickled onions being made in house!

For a guy who doesn’t eat salads, I would say the Asian chicken was the best salad I’ve ever had!

Going to try their sandwiches on the next visit!

“Go to Tanzie if you’re looking for a different experience! The food and drinks are creative and definitely highlights the flavor of the food.

The wait time is a variable, but it’s definitely worth the wait time😁. Unless you get there early expect 30 minute plus wait time.“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“Delicious offerings at the SFO airport. Had a chicken pesto wrap that was outstanding for two meals for me. Friendly team member.“

“Likely the best value in the FiDi for a quick breakfast. I got the Huevos Rancheros ($8.95) add Bacon (+$3). I ordered it through Toast and picked it up. My coffee was made fresh when I got there so it would still be HOT!

The Huevos were delicious! Two eggs, both red and green salsa (one on each), black beans, and a bit of cheese. It was the perfect amount and was delicious. A hint of spice from the salsas, the eggs were well seasoned and the tortillas still crispy.

I'll be swinging by here more often than my usual bagel place in the future!“

“Delicious, robust and oversized salad (actually a good deal for the price), PLUS the staff couldn’t be nicer, especially front of house.
This is like a mini behind the scenes food hall, where you can order these gorgeous salads, or: soups; mezze dishes etc. It’s a fun and unique spot. So glad to have found this while visiting my hometown!“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“This was our first time here, but definitely won’t be our last! The pinsa was SPECTACULAR and you could tell a great amount of care went into each one 🥰. It was a phenomenal experience and we can’t wait to make it a staple for when we make it out!“

“Proper Food is a grab-and-go eatery located in the Financial District. It is targeted towards workers in the area as it is only open on weekdays during breakfast and lunch. They sell a lot of standard fare like sandwiches and salads, albeit with a gourmet slant. Was visiting my company's SF office, which was housed in the same building and got a light breakfast here. I can imagine this being a default spot if I was working there and needed to grab something quick to eat.“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“Absolutely love this gem of a place! Great fresh food. I've gotten the smoked salmon, mushroom panini (I forgot the exact name), and the arugula princess salad. My favorite are there fresh juices-- haven't found any that I didn't like yet! Highly recommend!“

“Delicious!!! I had the veggie panini with a side salad and my daughter had the mozzarella and tomato panini. The bread was perfectly cooked and crispy, both sandwiches were so tasty and the salad had a light refreshing dressing on it. The service was excellent, very friendly and quick. Great little place to eat, they have a nice selection of healthy salads, paninis, juice and smoothies. Highly recommend!“

“They just opened and are still working it out. It’s right next to Thanh Ky and a block away from Cam Huong. Got the rarely found Lort Cha, Cambodian Stir fried pin noodles. It only comes with beef. (They should consider offering other proteins). And their Lao style papaya salad (spicy and stinky which I love).

I really wanted to love the Lort Cha but it was sooo sweet, chef prob went a little too heavy handed with the sugar. It’s a savory dish. Papaya salad was good. Portions are huge here bc I think it’s a new business so they don’t have their portions down yet. Everything is also hella cheap.

Will not be coming back unfortunately but try them out tho! The owner seems chill.“

“With 3 hours to kill, we set off for the food court recommended by a pilot we asked and looked at our options. We decided to "be healthy" after a 10-day cruise and were rewarded with amazing food! The Good Catch Vegan Manhattan Seafood Chowder and Tortilla soup were both amazing and the Cabo salad was hearty enough for us to share and not feel deprived in any way. Of course, we then justified a couple of chocolate chip cookies for dessert-LOL. I now hope we have a reason to get back there again.“

“Great food and great service“

“Great place to visit sit and relax the sandwich and wine was fantastic and a perfect meal. The crew were very nice people. I highly recommend“

“You will not beat MIXT. It is a Latina cult of salads. They have salads and warm bowls. I always get the Barbecue bowl when I can ever afford it and it's FIREEEEE. These places are organically sourced and not made up. Must try. Average $15 on every menu item.“

“I’ve been coming here for 7+ years and the food has always been high quality, delicious, and well portioned. Can’t go wrong with their salads and recently I’ve learned the paninis are fantastic as well. I will say it’s good to order online and pickup, and leave a little time buffer as they can get pretty busy over the lunch rush. The staff can get really busy but they’ve always been helpful and courteous.“

“I loved this place, their sandwiches are huge and quality far exceeds the price, making it as worthy as it gets for lunch. Everyone was sweet and serviceable, loved this place, will continue to go pretty often! Had the Goodfella, delicious.“

“Pizza Twist is absolutely fantastic! I have a strict gluten allergy, and Mani (the owner) went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made me feel safe and confident about enjoying my meal. The gluten-free pizza was delicious, fresh, and flavorful—honestly one of the best I’ve had. It’s rare to find a place that truly cares about dietary restrictions while still delivering amazing taste. I can’t recommend Pizza Twist enough, both for the food and the outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I was there yesterday and had the Killer BLAT I didn't know if I would like it but turns out I loved it and I will return it was so good. It's a great place that you have to try.“

“Good healthy lunch spot“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“

“There is nothing like getting together to celebrate the joy of a family gathering. I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to provide an intimate room for my family to gather and share delicious Azerbaijani cuisine, slow braised succulant lamb and simmered sauces. Their signature mixed plate served to whet the appetite but we didn't have to wait long for our entrees. We shared a variety of unique desserts that were delicious. Our wait staff and the owner, Anar, were welcoming and filled with stories that only added to our appreciation of our dinner. I'd highly recommend Bistro 4293 to anyone for their food, ambiance and service. It was a wonderful evening I will remember. Many thanks!“
