Kid-friendliness: My kids love this place.“

“I'm super appreciative of any vegan restaurants in the Bay Area. It's a myth that this area has a lot of veg places. There are actually very few, so I cherish the ones we have. I first went to the Honolulu location and liked it a lot. The Berkeley location smells weird. It's a small, LOUD restaurant where diners are so close together that you hear everyone's convos and smell their perfume. There is a roll they light on fire that smells like butane all through the small restaurant. So that's a bummer. The food is good. The seating is uncomfortable and it's just too loud to be fun or relaxing. It's hard to get the servers attention. The starters often come after the rolls, even when we asked for apps to come first. The view outside is of garbage cans lined up and trash. So... Could be a lot nicer of a place.“

“We brought our friend here to celebrate his birthday because we wanted to gift an experience. We saw you featured on Check Please . . . And you guys WOW’d us beyond our expectations!! Amazing staff!

“After years of walking past the always-crowded HK Lounge Bistro on Folsom Street, I finally made it—and it was worth the wait.

The restaurant opens at 10 a.m., but I arrived at 9:50. Even though I was a little early, they kindly welcomed me in and let me take a seat. That small gesture already made me feel at home.

The atmosphere inside is warm, cozy, and charmingly chic. It’s not a large place, but it radiates a sense of comfort and familiarity—as if I had stepped into someone’s welcoming home, ready to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal.

Though I hadn’t tasted the food yet, I knew I would love it. Everything about the experience—the ambiance, the hospitality, the anticipation—made it feel like a moment straight out of an epic. A quiet, modern-day victory.

Without a doubt, 5 stars. Thank you, HK Lounge Bistro, for making my long-awaited visit feel so special.“

“Excellent cuisine and outstanding service.“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“spectacular seafood! shrimp and scallops were thoroughly enjoyed and the wine and Champagne pairings made it even better! Only bad thing was, I didn't get a second Tiramisu for dessert! Perfect little private room in back and the 3 servers were on point!“

“Mensho Tokyo SF truly lives up to its reputation and Michelin Star status. While we waited in line, it was interesting to see that most patrons were first-timers, creating a sense of shared anticipation.

One standout feature was their selection of unique Japanese beers, which offered a refreshing change from the usual options. The ramen itself was exceptional; the noodles had the perfect firmness, while the broth struck an ideal balance—not too overpowering but incredibly flavorful. Each bite was a delightful experience, showcasing a harmonious blend of tastes and textures.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mensho Tokyo SF to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to share this gem with my friends in the future!“

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?“

“EVERYTHING!:)✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“

“One of numerous macrobiotic-ish all vegan restaurants in the east bay serving similar menus. This one is delicious and filling. Menu changes slightly daily but basically consists of bean soup, collard greens w/ sauce, vegetables, beans, rice and green salad w/ dressing. Very tasty and enjoyable. Definitely would recommend. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-06“

“Millennium is my favorite vegan res! Excellent customer service, people, and atmosphere! The food is more than something to eat; it is something to experience!“

“I'm not breaking new ground here—the Peking Duck is incredible. But what's even better is the duck carcass: deep-fried, then sautéed with spices and Sichuan peppercorns. Absolutely off-the-charts delicious. That said, charging $15 extra for it feels a bit much.“

“healthy portions of healthy food, how can you beat that?“

“Authentic Italian bakery. 1 product, foccacia, done to perfection. My Italian grandpa lived in North Beach and brought it to Sunday dinners every week. Now, generations later, a stop at Liguria is mandatory. But get there early, or you will be disappointed. 5 star best foccacia ever.“

“Fantastic food and a great menu with something for every foodie“

Ladies, the bathrooms are even stocked with necessities. I felt seen.“

“Considering how busy it was due to a big conference, the service was excellent. Food was great value. They really know how to make a good martini! The ppl up front were very accomodating in terms of allowing us to switch from our requested table upstairs to downstairs. However, it was very noisy, my issue was trying to have a conversation without practically shouting to my dinner companions.“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“HIGHLY recommend Om Sabor @Phonobar Asian Mexican Fusion menu. The BEST plant based food we’ve had since making the switch🥰 Easy to get to in the Hayes Valley area of SF. Great vibes the sweetest kindest Chef❤️ Affordable $2 an hour garage parking in the same building. International music during dinner and after 8p live DJ 👏🏽👏🏽“

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋“

“Chef Azalina's restaurant in San Francisco's Tenderloin district offers an exceptional dining experience that goes beyond just food. It's a testament to passion, perseverance, and community engagement.

The cuisine is remarkable, showcasing meticulous attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. Each dish demonstrates craftsmanship, with a harmonious blend of tastes that speaks to the chef's skill. The menu features unique ingredients, including an herb reminiscent of Fruit Loops cereal. I'm not going to write too much about food because I think it's borderline just pointless to describe food in words.

What sets this establishment apart is Chef Azalina's commitment to her craft and community. She maintains close relationships with her suppliers, including fisherwomen from Half Moon Bay, ensuring the highest quality ingredients and supporting local producers. I'm convinced that if there were 1000 more Azalinas in SF, this would be the greatest city on earth.

After my meal, I had the privilege of speaking with Chef Azalina for two hours. She shared fascinating stories about her relationship with food, the inspirations behind each course, and her experience as a restaurant owner in the Tenderloin. Her passion for culinary arts and dedication to her community were obvious.

Chef Azalina also opened up about the challenges of operating in the Tenderloin. Many potential patrons unfairly dismiss her restaurant due to its location, overlooking the exceptional culinary experience it offers. Despite this, she remains committed to her vision and to making a positive impact in the neighborhood. Her presence has contributed to the neighborhood's revitalization, demonstrating how a restaurant can be a force for community improvement.

Azalina offers not just a meal, but an experience that combines culinary excellence with personal passion and community engagement. It's a must-visit for those seeking innovative, thoughtfully prepared cuisine in San Francisco, and a shining example of how food can transcend stereotypes and transform communities.“

“A delicious torta, and a super nice person! I have that terrible cilantro gene, and the proprietor took time to think through the menu and let me know what never had cilantro and where it was easy to take out, and was all around kind and personable. I ate this torta in the sunshine by the lake- a perfect lunch.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“Was in the area and did a search for ice cream. This place popped up and I decided to check it out. The vibe from the staff is great. The flavors are nice and different, the finish of the ice cream is fresh. No lingering fattiness or artificial viscosity.

Will definitely come back if I'm in the area and want ice cream. Store is clean and bright, plenty of natural light and simple decor. The production area is clearly visible so you can see they're proud of what they're doing. I recommend this place.“

“Definitely not your typical brunch. We loved the Filipino inspired creations. Don’t skip the French toast with caviar hollandaise, crumbled bacon, and shrimp. It’s AMAZING!“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“Simply outstanding! They have everything down right. Prompt friendly service, clean and comfortable seating, attention to detail, and most importantly, every bite of every thing is delicious. I can count on feeling 10x better after any visit here. Thanks so much to the team behind this operation 🙏🏻“

“I’ve been coming here regularly for a few years now, and I gotta say this place is consistently great. If you’re for a high quality rotisserie chicken, at a fair price, with incredible sides, this is the place.

The restaurant is linked to rich table, so you get all the benefits of eating at more higher end restaurant in terms of quality but in a casual dining experience. The employees are all very nice as well, which adds to the whole thing.

Really can’t say anyhring bad about this place. It does what it’s supposed to do perfectly, and the food tastes exactly the same each time (which is a great compliment).

My usual is always the half chicken, chicken fat rice, and the seared broccoli. They also got southern fried chicken on weekends, bowls, and sandwiches. This place is definitely is going to remain in my rotation, keep up the great work!“
