50 Best Salad Restaurants in San Francisco

“first try today and totally pleased!“

“Let me tell you something, this has to be on your list when you come to SF. This is where you need to stop and this is where you need to eat the family the food the everything about this experience was nothing short of wonderful. I live in SoCal so Mexican food is a staple but let me tell you something this was a different experience completely everything is crafted with care and love and you know it I got the poblano spaghetti and omg my mind was blown away. I hope this place stays around for a very long time. This made my entire trip to SF worth it.“

“On a recent visit to SF I had brunch with my son. Without a doubt the best food I’ve had in a long long time. The great food quality was what really got to me. I’m from the Caribbean so I need spice and flavor in my food and the flavors were so unique and interesting and the owner and her Chef hubby were so fun and genuinely nice people.
I had absolutely no notes.“

“Worth the drive across the city from the Mission to eat here. It was a little cool outside so we were glad to find there was a table for 4 inside.

Our group of four shared 2 starters, 3 pizzas and 2 desserts. Everything was delicious. Favorites--marinated tomato starter, spicy San Marzano pizza, and Panna Cotta with fig“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco and one of the best places to get rotisserie chicken everything is fresh juicy. The fried chicken sandwich is delicious. Comes with great sauces and customer service. This location is always been fantastic.“

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

“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!“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“Great food and service, I would like to explore more from the menu“

“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....“

“This is a great little place in the San Francisco Mission Area. Huge sandwiches and salads. Rotisserie Chicken is amazing. A Nice find. Was walking by and said, let’s do this! Meatloaf Panini and Thai noodle salad. Amazing food and service. Thanks so much. Will see you again soon.“

“We wanted to have a special meal to end our arduous few weeks of surgery recovery and I found Chacho when we landed on sushi because of their menu and location. They also seemed to be a little newer and worth a shot.

When picking up I was very warmly greeted by the ladies working there in a cozy and lovely shop and was offered even more soy sauce when I asked if it was in the bag (which there was).

We had a big takeout order of takoyaki, yellowtail Nigiri, a monster roll and some hamachi maki and California rolls. Because of how much we ordered there site offered us a free dish to select and I chose the yellowtail collar as I'd never had it before. A true feast. The takoyaki where still warm after a 15 minute drive and where perfectly savory and sweet with just the right amount of meat to batter. The yellowtail Nigiri was of great quality with a firm texture that wasn't chewy at all. The monster roll was an explosion of flavors and textures and so rich and filling. The maki and cut roll where dead simple and lovely as well with great rice/filling ratios. The yellowtail collar, while a little tricky to pick over offered delicious fatty morsels of meat with the occasional bone to dodge. It was tasty, but I wouldn't order it as a non freebie.

All in all it was such a hearty and rich meal and if we're in the area again we'll be back to come in next time!“

“Great food and great service“

“This place is so underrated, what a gem in an unassuming place! I had the chicken banh mi and the bread was fresh and had the perfect amount of crunch and the flavors were great. I come from SJ and although I wasn’t say it was the most “authentic” banh mi it was so good and did not feel like a heavy meal. The chicken rice soup had so much umami, would honestly be a treat and I’ll probably crave the cozy comfort of it when I’m sick.

There are a few seats inside and out but seems like a quick pickup and takeout place which works for me! We had the food inside last time though and service was so sweet. They were very attentive even when they were filling orders :)“

“We love the crispy pizza crust the cheesy polenta & ricotta cheesecake! We appreciate that the staff is really fun and friendly as well. we love it here!!“

“Not a lot of tables in here and we definitely caught the lunch rush. The people running the little restaurant were very nice and we enjoyed the food. It's not cheap, but with four adults and only three entrees and a salad, we got literally two meals worth of food, each. Lots of leftovers.“

“Quality is key with any meal. Roger-San is all about quality. Sit at the bar if you can!“

“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“

“I love the food, the music the Ambiance, did I say the food?!“

“I love AK Meats! I only recently realized it’s owned by the same family as 25th & Clement Produce next door, which makes perfect sense — the quality is outstanding across both shops.
The meat, seafood, and deli selections are top‑notch. The sandwiches look incredible too, but I usually buy sliced deli meat to take home for my thirteen‑year‑old’s school lunches.
One of my favorite things about AK Meats is being able to buy exactly the amount I need. It’s so nice to get a small portion from the butcher instead of having to buy a whole pre‑packaged amount that might go bad. I love grabbing my protein here and then popping next door for the rest of my ingredients.
A great neighborhood spot with consistently excellent quality.“

“This place always hits the spot! The flavors are amazing and I love all the banchan dishes. Plus! The rice comes with the food which should be the standard but nowadays other places charge for them.

The dishes are pricey but the portions are large and sometimes you can get a freebie! Definitely bring a friend to share with.“

“This is right in the middle of financial district. Not sure about parking nearby as it is hard being SF. Food was decent and portions were big, but pricey as expected in SF. Drinks looked appealing. And, all restaurants are adding a 6% health tax for dining! It's ridiculously expensive to eat out in San Francisco. 😕 Sigh!“

“Everything was amazing. Couldn’t decide on what to get, so had a lot of left overs. Cured salmon and pork belly were our favorites.“

“Fantastic service and amazing food!“

“I ordered a sandwich with two sides of gravy through Uber Eats for pickup. When I arrived, the chefs said my order had already been taken and refused to remake it, even though I showed my receipt. The manager came out and was very rude, despite me explaining I’m a regular customer who even picked up my annual Thanksgiving meal the day before. After accusing me of “screaming” (though I was speaking calmly over the loud music), they finally remade the order but shoved it at me and pushed me out. I live a block away and may give them another chance, but beware online pickup orders can get mishandled here.“

“I don't care where in San Fran you're staying or how you get here, but every vegan NEEDS to come and experience Cybelle's FULL plant-based menu. I had to come a second time to explore more of the menu. As a 12 year vegan, this is by far the biggest vegan menu in a undedicated restaurant I've seen. The garlic knots taste just like Domino's but without the fast food feeling or aftertaste. The mozzarella sticks are DEAD ON with Sonic's (just no cheese stretch). The texture and taste of the chicken wings are FANTASTIC. Loaded fries was jam packed with flavor. This is a must stop in San Fran!“

“I was here for the second time this morning and I absolutely loved it once again. The food is fresh and tasty, the place has a really nice vibe to it, the weekday breakfast special is great value and they are very accommodating. Best part must be the waitress working there, tho. Forgot her name sadly but she was there both times I went and she's genuinely friendly and not over the top at all. It's so refreshing to actually get good service and not have it feel like a show!

I will be coming again!“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

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

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“Was running late for boarding a flight but hadn’t eaten anything all day, ordered last minute but someone was kind enough to ask if I’d been helped and made my order in thirty seconds flat, I made my flight!! Thank you so much cv for making my day :)“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Fair prices and snappy service!“

“I ordered the ciabatta breakfast sandwich with all the toppings with bacon and it's honestly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! The bread was toasted very well and it was nice and crispy, the bacon was flavorful and caramelized, and the other ingredients were very fresh. It's honestly a shame I don't live out here so I can have one of these sandwiches more often 😊“

“We ordered a variety of pizzas from Monterey Pizza—including vegetarian and vegan options—for a business meeting, and everyone loved them! The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced.
A special thank you to the owner, Vaen, who delivered the food to our office personally. It was wonderful meeting her in person—she is so warm and kind. We will definitely be ordering from her again for future meetings“

“Lovely people and some bangin’ sandwiches.
On 8/25/2026 i stopped by and got a chicken ceaser wrap, my goodness that was the best salad wrap Ive ever had.
The hot pepper spread they make in house is exquisite and I couldn’t put enough on wrap (it was so good).

Sandwich wise, the Godfather on dutch crunch is great.

Sandwiches are huge (i usually eat one half for lunch and the other for dinner).

Thank y’all so much for cleaning the outdoor tables for me to eat at as well.

Lovely service and also the wrap came out so quick!“

“My favorite food is everything on the menu“

“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.“

“Love this place. It’s always good and fresh. The Nutella/ strawberry 🥐 croissant is yummm, a must have.“

“Hidden Gem by Kaiser and MtZion Medical Center...fresh and yummy and a variety. Half chicken w saffron rice m Salad($10.99), Wild Salmon($12.99)...can’t wait to check out the burger ($6.99). Clean, friendly staff... Why didn’t I ever get here sooner“

“Love the potato lovers salad, which has some addictive spiced potato puree inside. The ingredients are very fresh and they use a very high quality feta cheese (not too heavy”sheepy”). Be sure to double check larger orders. They sometimes forget stuff!“

“Love this place! Just ask my husband ❤️“

“Excellent Customer Service and Very Accommodating of my Shellfish Allergy. Ask for Michael if you need suggestions!“

“Great job Nice people Excellent service“

“The crust … yum!!! Love this place and I am so glad they are open when I am working in the office. Parking is a little hard. Salad is really fresh. We have not tried their specials yet but we will soon. Very friendly staff!“

“I have been to the Parthenon a couple of times for the chicken souvlaki and the octopus which are my personal favorites but it just became my favorite brunch spot! the platter that comes with everything from pancakes with Nutella to scrambled eggs and feta cheese fullfilled every craving I had for brunch.
More importantly they have mimosas! Zami recommended the grapefruit mimosa and it was delicious and refreshing. Their Greek coffee is amazing and a great way to end the meal.“
