We were very excited to visit aiso, but the overall dining experience was disappointing.
While the salads were solid and well-prepared, the rest of the meal fell short. The mushroom skewers were noticeably over-charred, and the tofu in the pineapple skewers had a stale texture.
The biggest issue was the rigatoni pesto pasta, which was clearly unsalted and bland. When we raised this concern with the server, we were informed that this is the intended preparation, which was frustrating given the each entree costs around $25
An incredibly creative chef. This was genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Every dish was a symphony of flavors, beautifully balanced and unforgettable. The food and the mocktails were both exceptional. I recommend this place to absolutely everyone, vegan or not. It’s truly a standout experience.
The service and ambience were also great.

I was absolutely wowed by aíso after having dinner and drinks last night. Everything from the cocktails to the salads and skewers were innovative and delicious, and I cannot stress enough: save room for dessert! The flourless chocolate cake and passion fruit sorbet were absolutely insane, I’ll be dreaming of them until we can go back. 10/10, no notes, a must try whether vegan or not - and the majority of the menu is gluten free as well.

Aiso is perhaps my favorite place in San Francisco. Everything from the atmosphere to the drinks and especially the food is worth a visit. Tonight I had a chance to chat with the owner and witness the dedication to quality service from top to bottom. If you sit there long enough you will hear people talk about their last visit. I've had almost everything on the menu and it's all wonderful! If the oyster skewers are available they're a must.

“Best burrito of my life” and it was vegan! The complexity of flavors and consistencies was over the top. The roasted cauliflower on silki pak, sour orange onion cilantro with a sprinkle perfectly toasted pumpkin seeds was excellent. Cucumber kimchi with very finely shredded carrot and chives was delicious. Every bite was a slightly different combination of fresh spicy, sour, and sweet with just a bite from the chives.
