“Lots of great memories eating with the kids at this Shake Shack on Bay Street. We picked Shake Shack for a party too - when we placed the large catering order, John and team made the whole process easy including selecting items and on-time delivery. It was a big hit with everyone!“

“First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! 🤩🍽️🔥

I ended up getting my lunch to-go because the place was packed when I arrived — always a great sign! 👏 I ordered the chicken adobo over rice and it was delicious. 🍗🍚 The chicken was tender and well-flavored. I personally could have used just a little more seasoning and maybe a touch of heat 🌶️, but I’m not sure if traditional chicken adobo is supposed to be spicy — either way it was still really good.

The rice was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was almost perfect. It probably got shuffled around a little during my walk back to the office 🚶🏽‍♂️, but it still looked great when I opened it.

The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. ✨ The person who took my order was very friendly, and the staff member who handed me my meal when it was ready was also super friendly and professional. Great customer service! 🙌

10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — I would’ve given it an 11 if I could! Definitely coming back to try more dishes, especially Silog Thursday (I may not be spelling or pronouncing that perfectly 😄 but I’m excited to try it!).

I stopped in today March 13 around 1:00 PM, and it was busy — especially considering they close at 2 PM. That tells you everything you need to know! 👏🔥

“I tried the vegan sisig and it was incredible and such a great value. The service was fantastic, the restaurant is very clean, and the vibes are chill. I don't normally post reviews but seeing as how few there are for such a great place I had to spread the word.“

“for me, it's the best Filipino food in San Francisco. Everything tastes homemade.“

“What a delightful place to stop and grab a delicious empanada or a boba drink. I just love the chicken adobo empanadas. The pastry is fresh, flaky, and crispy. The lightly spicy chicken and potato filling is tender and savory. So good. Be sure and try the house-made sweet chili sauce as well. For dessert, try the mango cheese cake empanada. It is tangy, fruity, rich with cream cheese and topped with a sugar-glazed crust. The prices are very affordable too!“

“The Pancit is the bomb. Call ahead first because they make the food fresh“

“Great fast option inside the food hall.

So delicious and quick! Rice & veggie bowl with the BBQ pork belly. Beets were super fresh. I preferred the pork belly to my friend's chicken. Prepared so fast and was very tasty.“

“Hi City Poke nails that true island flavor! The owner is from Hawaii and brings all the aloha with him — super friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly passionate about sharing good food.

The poke itself? So ono. Fresh, flavorful, and totally legit. You’ll find classic Hawaiian-style fish alongside “mainland” toppings — because, as the owner said, “you gotta give the city what it wants.” But don’t worry, purists — the foundation is all Hawaii.

It’s quick, delicious, and feels like a little taste of home“

“Pretty decent option specially during the lunch rush hour. I got a veg burrito. Happy with my choice. You wouldn't want to miss on some of their sauces. You may get intimidated by the queue during lunch hour but their service is pretty fast. I don't expect you would have to wait more than 20 min from the queue to getting your meal :)“

“Best lumpia ever, always fresh and crisp with just the right amount of filing“

“We had the Halo-Halo, Tortatalong, Beef Pata, and Vegetable Lumpia—each dish was piping hot and ready in just 20 minutes. The flavors brought us right back to the Philippines! Every bite was rich, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving a taste of home or want to experience the best of Filipino cuisine, Pistahan is a must-visit. We can't recommend it enough, and we can't wait to go back!“
