Sofra grill 132 Hazelwood Dr, South San Francisco Mediterranean • $$
132 Hazelwood Dr, South San Francisco

“This spot is such an amazing find. The food is delicious, the staff are all incredibly kind, and it's a very casual restaurant to grab lunch or dinner. This restaurant has entered my rotation of post-workout dinners when I just want something tasty and filling. I usually order the Erbil Kebab, which comes with rice and salad. It's a huge portion for one person, but a little small to feed two. You certainly get a ton of value for the price! Also... the toum (garlic sauce) is addictive--You've been warned!”

Sky Cafe 223 Grand Ave, South San Francisco Vegan • $$
223 Grand Ave, South San Francisco

“Delicious vegan food, friendly and helpful waitstaff. Not a fancy place - decor, menus, furniture all worn and low-key. But it's what's inside that counts, and what's inside are novel and creative vegan takes on dishes from around the world, including Argentina, Thailand, Mexico, Central Asia, Japan, and the US.”

1165 Airport Blvd, South San Francisco

“This was a cozy spot to have lunch outside with my family. We ordered a few lunch items and snacks to bring home. I ordered the lunch special of the day, which was a beef stew. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try it out, but they gladly replaced it with the steak grilled with onions, which was delicious! The service was great and the lady at the cashier was very happy and patient with us! I would definitely come here again to buy more pao de queijo and try something new.”

320 Grand Ave, South San Francisco

“What a crazy fusion menu of Chinese and Vietcajun! I would 100% come back here for the cajun xiao long bao. The savory cajun garlic butter broth inside the handwrapped dumpling wrapper... SO GOOD! It was served fresh and you could even see the staff making these by hand. Made to order!KEEP IN MIND: They no longer serve happy hour here - even though it says it in the menu... We got the cucumber salad, which was simple and tasty, but bummed it wasn't discounted LOLThe Vegetable Noodle Soup tasted very hearty and homestyle. I liked the texture of the noodles and the broth was flavorful. A good amount of veggies!”

Rockoto Peruvian Cuisine 207 Linden Ave, South San Francisco Peruvian • $$
207 Linden Ave, South San Francisco

“I would highly recommend this restaurant. Jenny the owner was so accommodating to my family. The restaurant was closed on Mondays and they allowed us to have a memorial luncheon to celebrate the life of my Mom who was Peruvian and passed away in December. The menu that we selected was food that my Mom had prepared many times over the years for a family. All who attended the luncheon could not stopped talking about the food and excellent service. You can't go wrong with ordering their Pisco Sours, empanadas and cerviche, just to name a few of the delicious plates.”

Mom's Tofu House 415 Grand Ave Ste 001, South San Francisco Korean • $$
415 Grand Ave Ste 001, South San Francisco

“Best Korean BBQ restaurant in SSF! There are no grills for you to cook your own, but the meat based dishes are very full flavoured. Service request is with a bell installed at each table (love it). The ambient is well lit. Larger party friendly. Kpop videos playing on the screens. All that is expected in the best ways.Vegetarian options: There isn't much purely vegetarian dishes. If you are ok with meat mashed soup with vegetarian 'toppers' then you'll be fine with tofu soups, fried tofu, etc. Ban chans are veggies based.”

We ordered the parrilla for two and everything was great! The parrilla comes with chicken, beef, sausage, and morcilla (+salad). You can't have an Argentinian experience and not order flan with dulce de leche so we went all out and ordered one (even though we were already in a food coma). Service was great too! Vamos Boca!!!”

“The food was delicious, the fries were very crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, the seasoning wasn't too salty either. I came here at 5:15 to try their tacos, but unfortunately they don't start serving tacos until 6:30pm. The burger was delicious and very filling, I only ate half and didn't finish the fries either. The food was ready within 10 minutes as it wasn't busy at all in the dining area. There is a jukebox which people were playing music on, so that was fun. The staff were friendly too.”
