50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Francisco

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“Shrimp noodle roll - excellent
Glutinous rice & chicken dumpling - excellent
Crispy shrimp & meat tofu skin roll - good, would have been excellent if it's a tad saltier
Siumai - good but not outstanding
House special pan fried noodle - good with premium proteins
Dry-fried string bean - ok, a bit overcooked
Coffee-glazed baby back pork ribs - not good, the sauce was ok but the ribs had very little meat and not crispy enough on the outside. Koi Palace makes a much better version.

The prices were on the expensive side for dim sum. Service was excellent. Waiting to get into the (only) restroom required lots of shuffling to make ways for staff going in/out of the kitchen and cashier's stand.“

“EVERYTHING!:)✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“

“Good fresh comfort food, warm friendly family business“

“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant“

“Great leisurely lunch with girlfriends. Staff was friendly attentive. The butternut squash ravioli was to die for! Nice ambiance (we sat outside). Enjoyed!“

“Excellent experience from start to finish. Service was attentive without hovering. Never a long wait between courses.

We started with the bean dip, muhamara with flatbread, octopus, olives, and cauliflower. The octopus was the standout: smoky, sweet, tangy, and briny all on one plate. The dips were generous and flavorful.

We split the whole branzino for mains. Perfectly cooked and portioned well.

The atmosphere is casual but elevated. The value is better than comparable restaurants at this tier. You get real portions here, which matters when the check arrives.

Highly recommend for special occasions or a nice dinner out.“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“We found this place by asking where the best burritos were. Everyone we asked said to come here. You will wait in a long line but it moves fast and absolutely worth the wait! We got ours to go but there is some inside seating. Hands down the freshest most delicious burrito I've ever had. They are huge!“

“WILL. BE. BACK. WOW!!! Truly an incredible experience. The service, the atmosphere and the ambience, the food, the cocktails we’re all exquisite. If I had the money, I would try everything on the menu in one sitting. But I will be back to try everything in increments. It was so lovely there and my friend and I just really enjoyed ourselves in that space. I can’t wait to try the udon and the peach dessert. I forget our waiter’s name, but he had a mustache and he was so above and beyond, and deserves all of the tips that you could ever think of. Pretty much all the staff deserves all the tips and handshakes and blessings that you could give them because they all were so nice and welcoming and great at their jobs. I really do love this place and hope it lasts for a very long time. Thank you Aiso!!!!!“

“Their service is fast, friendly, and the food is delicious!!!“

“My friends and I came here yesterday for cookies after a walk on the beach, and despite looking quite casual for such a nice restaurant we had such a great experience with the staff! Two staff were new (the lady was so competent for a new employee, you go girl!) and extremely nice, and the woman whipping up the desserts behind was the sweetest and gave us a few extra beignets to share :)

The best part (aside from the delicious food) was when the man at the register called my friend sir, a rare moment he was correctly gendered. We were all so happy! The desserts were also fabulous, cookies were GIANT and yummy, we particularly enjoyed the snickerdoodle and oatmeal raisin, the beignets were truly to die for, and the passionfruit lemon cake was such a good deal with real lilikoi flavor (Hawaiian approved)!“

“Great tasty stop at the end of the day. Love the friendly staff“

“Absolutely delicious burgers and thick, creamy milkshakes. Can't wait to go here again!“

“The seafood here is absolutely superb in both flavour and service, with exceptionally fresh ingredients. It ranks among the finest seafood I've ever tasted😃😋“

“Their food is some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. We stumbled upon this corner restaurant by accident and had zero regrets. Our favorites are the chicken and waffle burrito and their French toast. Their French toast is the best I’ve ever had, soft and flavorful. You must check this place out!“

“This is a classic Italian restaurant with a lively atmosphere and excellent service. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. We ordered the classic pepperoni pizza, the classic cheese and bacon pizza, as well as the lasagna and carbonara. The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy and delicious crust. The pasta was cheesy and filling.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“Great ramen.

We got the Signature Toripaitan, one original and one spicy. It was good, plenty of food and excellent flavor. It's a small and cozy restaurant, wouldn't recommend for large crowds. Get their early, pretty much at opening time or else be prepared to wait outside.“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“Really just a phenomenal spot. Took a gamble the first time after a load out on the way to the airport; could really sit here and eat sushi all day. Very nice waiter/host that I remember both times - everyone was so welcoming. Local tofu appetizer was excellent. Every piece of fish I wanted more of especially the sea trout; exceptionally fresh and also well cut / not too large of a piece especially with the sashimi. Can’t wait to be back in the area so i can visit again“

“Excellent fresh, speedy, abundant and delicious service!☺️“

“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“The food is just delicious. Their “painted ladies” coffees are unique and tasty. The owners Nadia and Mark are super friendly and they also love dogs. What else would you want?! One of my favorite spots not just in the neighborhood but all of SF“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“Gitesh was the most thoughtful server, service was top notch - no complaints. The food tastes amazing and my friend concurred that it was authentic. There is plenty of space to sit, and everything is clean. Will definitely be coming back to eat more tasty food.“

“Excellent food and service. My friends from NYC enjoyed their dinners as well. Will definitely be back!“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.“

“Beyond any expectations you can have!! The pictures can’t do the experience justice - I was able to sit inside and watch every pizza be made!! I suggest ordering 2 appetizers, and a bottle of your choosing and enjoying the best pizza making ambience ever!!! You cannot go wrong here - I will be back every season to enjoy the new seasonal delights 🥰🥰🥰“

“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 👏🏽👏🏽“

“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!“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“Had a luncheon @ Perbacco with my 9 coworkers and Manager to say “goodbye & farewell” to a retiring coworker and “welcome” to a new coworker. Started with a round of hors d'oeuvre’s. The thin sliced veal with a sauce and capers was delicious! The fried shrimp, veggies and olives/anchovies…also with a sauce was awesome as well. For my main, I had CRESTE DI GALLO - semolina pasta - wild mushroom ragu - spinach - ricotta salata. Our waiter was the best! I saved one of the sugar cookies from my deserts…Burnt Carmel Gelato. Mentioned it to our waiter and as we were leaving, I heard “Sir! Sir!” He brought me one of their meringue cookies to also share with my partner! I thought that was just awesome! Top notch food and customer service. We’ll be back!“

“Great facility and staff for hands-on culinary skills learning.“

“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!“

“Four stars because they clucked up one of the things we ordered. The Cali Cluckwich came with no tempeh bacon or avocado added on, and we didn't have time to get it fixed because we were crunched for time on a work lunch break. Without the cali ingredients added, it was a plain old classic cluckwich. Other than that, taste-wise the food was good. Also, I've always loved the customer service at the San Francisco location, the employees are always so happy and friendly. Hunny Hickory TenderClucks were delicious. I chose all fries, no slaw, and it might have been the largest side of fries I've ever got at a restaurant. Updated from previous review on 2023-08-07“

“I have a severe Allergy which makes going to many restaurants impossible. I just so happen to be in the area and this place popped up under vegan options. It was amazing! So many options and all safe for me to eat. Food came out fast, hot and in huge portions to share. None of us are strictly vegan, but due to my allergy my cousins agreed to try it. We left very happy, very full and with plenty of leftovers. Staff was great, but the restaurant was cold and could really benefit from some light music for general ambiance. Otherwise, it was phenomenal and I'll definitely be going back“

“Service was quick, friendly and professional. The baked goods were amazing, especially loved the breadstick, cheese roll, and my slice of pizza of the day which had sun-dried tomatoes and pesto and it was probably one of the best slices of pizza I've ever had!“

“i go to nepa indian cuisine today food taste very good like home. curry is nice and naan very soft and fresh too. staff people polite and service is fast i not wait long. place is little bit small but clean i like it. i think i will come back soon with friends because price also fair. good honest food.“

“Iconic SF bistro famous for wood-fired roast chicken. Fresh seasonal local ingredients, laid-back casual vibe. Copper bar and warm lighting make it great for casual dates or small group meals. Service steady, totally a classic Bay Area spot you shouldn’t skip.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“Amazing Food and great customer service!!!!!“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“Great breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“The pizza is splendiferous! It's truly the best pizza I've ever had. It's crunchy, good size and not greasy. The atmosphere is homey and friendly. The artwork and drawings on the walls adds to it. The cherry on top is the owner! He's passionate and friendly to all. The perfect place for lunch.“

“Delightful food and service. Incredibly attentive host—always had enough water and the food came out hot and fresh with clear attention to ingredients and cooking method. Highly recommend the calamari appetizer, lamb tenderloin, and gnocchietti. Lamb tenderloin was perfectly cooked! The gelato flavors were extremely unique (goat cheese and fig, and rum raisin). Thanks, Cheryl, for having us!“
