50 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Francisco

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

“hk lounge bistro is hands down my favorite hk style cantonese restaurant. you can't beat the freshness and flavors of the food, and the service is superb. everyone is so nice and i love seeing the same team each time we dine here. it's a sf treasure!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Yuca fries and mushroom skewer were delicious. Cauliflower entree was a big portion size but sikil pal was salty and somewhat bland. Pumpkin soup was fine but spicy due to the chili flakes on top. Mocktail was delicious and super refreshing, tasted like a green juice with celery. All vegan menu, was able to get full on all of the gluten free items.“

“One of the best tasting pizza I’ve tasted I highly recommend this place.“

“We waited about 25 minutes in line on a Wednesday evening and another 20 or so for the food, but in the end it was worth it.

The toasted carne asada burrito was outstanding, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t usually go for burritos. I really liked that it didn’t include rice. The meat was flavourful and everything tasted incredibly fresh.“

“If you make a reservation then you will be hosted in the dining area with fixed menu.
If you walk in, you can sit in the lounge and bar area which is a first come first serve basis. They also have some tables in this area.
Staff were super friendly and guided us with the menu.
My favorite dish was the famous burger which is only available in the lounge area.“

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

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

“EVERYTHING!:)✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️“

“Aziza is a total mood. The decor hits that perfect sweet spot of dark, soothing, and sophisticated. It’s the kind of atmosphere that lets you really focus on the food.
​And speaking of the food: the dips are the undisputed stars here. Every single one we tried was packed with flavor and perfectly textured. While the flatbread is incredible on its own, its true purpose in life is clearly to serve as a vehicle for those dips.
​The Shakshuka was another standout, beautifully presented with a sophisticated foam that really elevated the dish. We also tried the Cornbread, which was a delightful surprise. I expected a simple side, but it was unexpectedly sweet and completely hit the mark.

The waiting staff was nice and funny.

Any chance of a South Bay expansion?“

“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😃😋“

“Great sushi place on Polk. Nice bar counter seating. A few other tables. Intimate setting. Food is fresh and innovative. Great wide selection of different fish to choose from. Sushi chefs are informative and friendly. Only downside is parking is difficult in the area. Take Uber!“

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

“The food was so delicious! I’m from the LA/ Orange County area and I will be making a trip back here when I return to San Francisco!“

“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.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

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

“We arrived at 4:50pm on a rainy Sunday and waited ~45mins to get seated (group of 3). The restaurant’s capacity can accommodate 28 guests and they were very efficient with their process (i.e. they took note of group size in line, made sure people reviewed the menu before getting seated, and they had an one-hour limit). Our service was quick. We had both the signature and spicy versions of Tori Paitan, and spicy lamb ramen. Also an order of their seasonal Hokkaido uni and A5 wagyu hand roll. The broth of all 3 ramens was rich, full of umami. Spice added more to the flavor but almost non-existent on the heat front. Chashu was a great balance of fatty part and meat. The fried shaved carrots and eggplant in the lamb ramen were such a pleasant touch to the bowl of perfectly chewy ramen. The A5 wagyu was buttery and melted in your mouth good. Uni was just okay - I had higher expectations with Hokkaido uni. The sushi rice was a bit on the dry side as well. All being said, I’d still say this is a place I would return.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“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!“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“We loved our long lunch at Zuni Cafe during a recent SF trip. We sat upstairs next to the window. The chicken & bread salad is amazing. The NA cocktails and NA wine are delicious, as were the alcoholic options. Service was lovely. Highly recommend if you have time to linger over a meal.“

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

“So a quaint and beautiful bakery. Had the chocolate almond croissant on sourdough bread. It was such a beautiful combination of sweet and sour flavors. The pastry was buttery and the chocolate filling was sweet, maybe little too sweet. The proprietor of the business is such a sweet man. He helped me picked out a good pastry and billed me up right away so that I don’t miss my train. Overall, loved the pastry and business.“

“Best gelato in San Francisco.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!“

“Nepa graciously accommodated our reservation of 15 mixed age revelers. The hospitality and service were top-notch, they allowed for special wines brought in with corkage, and helped pace the meal, which was served family style at our request. Loved the tikka masalas, the naan, chai - everything we ordered. We so appreciated all our gracious servers. We will be back.“

“We enjoyed a few items. Tacos, Burritos, Sandwich, cheesecake and smoothies. All the food was served quickly despite being steady. All the food items were excellent especially the portobello tacos(Tuesday). The smoothie was delicious and cold and the cheesecake was vanilla and delicious. The staff were friendly, courteous, helpful and patient. Get your butts down here folks and Tip bigly. ✌️🌱🐾🎼💚🕺I“

“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! 👏🔥

“If happiness were a restaurant, I’m pretty sure it would be called *That’s My Jam*. I came in expecting a nice meal and left questioning whether I should move a small bed into the corner and live there permanently.

First of all, the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite felt like it was made by someone who genuinely cares about flavor, the quality of food they feed to others… and possibly about my emotional well-being. If you're lucky enough to chat with the chef or his wife, do so! You can tell they really put their heart and soul into every aspect of this establishment.

The vibe is warm, cozy, and the kind of place where you instantly relax. The staff were so friendly that by the end of the meal I felt like we were all part of a very delicious support group.

Final verdict: come hungry, bring friends, and prepare to fall in love with your meal. If you hear someone at the next table whispering “wow” between bites… that’s probably me again.

The only issue I have now is I doubt any other resturant will be able to provide my taste buds with the same magical expereince. I live in SJ but 10/10 would happily get jammed here anytime. 🍓✨

Not pictured is the chef special quiche - GET IT.“

“🌟 NOPA San Francisco: A Bucket List Culinary Triumph! 🌟 Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow. I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence. Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable. Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture. And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer 🍺. I'm officially adding this to my personal "Beer Bucket List!" I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company! The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art. The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully. Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day! To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn't resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat. And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal. NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie's bucket list Cindy Lee Podcast Host at Bucket List Coach Web Show & Founder of Bucket List Coach Travel Tours“

“Always great dim sum and dumplings.“

“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“

“Cute and cozy restaurant serving up unique pizettas. We had the funghi pizza which was loaded with mushrooms and greens. We also had a lamb pizza that was almost like an open-faced gyro. The ricotta cake dessert was heavenly. Such a delicious meal and great service!“
