“I was so juiced and excited to see we were about to get a sourdough & Co. I love sourdough dough too and the lemonade is soooo goood. They for sure are top quality. The owner is really nice. If you haven't had it, definitely give them a try.“

“I get food at least once a month delivered from this location. Starbird is my favorite gluten free chicken and the sauces are incredible. As a celiac, this restaurant isn't 100% gluten free BUT they will fry the fries with the chicken to avoid cross-contamination. The staff at this location are always kind when I stop in and very friendly.“

“Good food. Good service good size portions.“

“Oh my goodness. Such a gem in the rough. Amazing food in the middle of an industrial area. I'm an old fat white guy, and the meal defeated me. For the first time in a long time, I needed a doggy bag. The Shawarma were delicious as were the pickled veggies and cole slaw. The Arabic coffee was to die for. So rich and thick!“

“Came in here for lunch with my kids. Pho was excellent. I got it made spicy and loved it. The hot Vietnamese coffee was spot on; other drinks looked really good. Pork bun was very good. Overall very clean, friendly service. Plenty of parking in the lot across the street. High-quality meat.“

“Have spent 2 weeks in frisco, eaten at 20+ restaurants all over the city spent a small fortune. This meal was the 1st time we have both been satisfied with the food and we are not fussy people. We'll done guys shame it's our last day here.“

“Absolutely fantastic.

Great quality, flavor, and good presentation on food. Highly recommend their salsa verde on just about anything. Superb. My favorite: Chilaquiles with ham, verde sauce. You won’t regret it.

Friendly, family feel staff, quick food, clean environment, atmosphere not too loud though when full it can get moderate.“

“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.“

“I ordered the pork belly bánh mì, and it was so good! The pork belly had great flavor, and the amount of sauce was perfect. The bun was crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside, and the combination of flavors and spice made it really enjoyable. Definitely one of the best bánh mì I’ve had“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place never disappoints! So good“

“💖 Chacho Sushi on Excelsior is a hidden gem! 😊 We were craving sushi and glad we didn't have to venture far on a rainy day. Had been to this spot before under different ownership, but decided to give it another shot. BIG WIN! 🤩 Miso soup was on point, salmon dinner plate was fresh, rolls and curry chicken were 🔥, and mochi was perfection. Service was top-notch too! 👌🏼 If you're in the Mission, def give 'em a try 😋“

“RT Rotisserie absolutely delivered. I had the half chicken and it was perfectly roasted and super juicy on the inside with beautifully crispy skin. The flavors were simple but executed flawlessly. And the chipotle yogurt sauce? Next level. Creamy, smoky, with just the right kick of heat and it elevated every single bite. This is comfort food done right, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“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.“

“Amazing sandwich for lunchtime, the pasta salad and prepped deli items were incredible and fresh made. This was a great find when we needed to grab a sandwich and head to the beach for the day. They also have a great fresh meat selection if you’re picking up items to take home and cook, plus a selection of Italian pastas, cookies, chips, etc. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and a small local business. If I lived in this neighborhood, I’d be here all the time!“

“This is my favorite breakfast burrito in San Francisco. They are so, so good - stuffed with bacon, beans, avocado, cheese - I’m literally drooling thinking about it. The staff here are so kind and lovely. It’s great for breakfast or lunch. It’s reasonably priced for the area. The mini churros are also yummy. The portions are very large. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“I ordered a mango smoothie, which was very good. They have a good menu with many choices for breakfast and lunch. They have outside seating and are conveniently located. The service was friendly with a big smile. I am a local and will definitely return.“

“We found this deli by luck! We decided on the Hayes Street Veggie Sandwich and were completely star struck! The Sandwich was delicious, the store was kitschy and warm, and the owner was sweet and talkative without being overbearing. Highly recommend this San Francisco icon.“

“You will not beat MIXT. It is a Latina cult of salads. They have salads and warm bowls. I always get the Barbecue bowl when I can ever afford it and it's FIREEEEE. These places are organically sourced and not made up. Must try. Average $15 on every menu item.“

“Went here for a light lunch and went with a salad from here. They had a nice selection of greens and toppings to add to to your salad. Instead of pre-made salad, they have a build-your-own station where you can customize the salad to your liking (which I prefer). Definitely satisfied with my salad. Quality and freshness guaranteed. ??“

“My daughter loves this place. From her: This place is beautiful and homey, I’ve been coming here for the last 3 years on my birthday! Staff are great, the food is super tasty 🤩🤩🤩🤩😝. I suggest coming here, super cute and layed back. There are many delicious items on the menu!“

“Had a great experience at this location! We were visiting San Francisco for the day and was looking for a healthier meal. The other Mixt locations around where we were closed early but this location was open until 9pm which was great. Lots of great choices. We had one of their menu salads, one menu sandwich, and a build your own salad. All were great! Service was friendly and great as well.“

“Proper Food totally nailed their Chinese Chicken Salad. The crisp romaine and sweet navel oranges were super fresh, and I loved the crunch from the savory almonds and crispy wontons. Loved discovering this with MealPal—will definitely order again!“

“Fantastic service and amazing food!“

“Cute little Italian restaurant. Superb service and mouth watering menu!“

“This is the bees knees. Super good greens and super cool staff. Really into what they are trying to promote here. Def keep it going 💜💜💜💜“

“God damn this pizza is delicious!! Its a take out pizza place, not much if any seating.
I ordered medium 14inch half thai green curry and half thai yellow curry.

Yea, they are unique in that they make traditional italian american pizza, like pepperoni, combo, etc.

But also! THAI PIZZA!!! 🇹🇭 🍕 its really good. Hidden gem for sure.

First time: get the thai green curry pizza.

They also make other thai foods, but i love the pizza.
You can order on their website or call ahead.“

“Came in to eat for a fundraiser event - first time here! Interior is very clean and welcoming! Staff was super kind & even gave us a free magnet since we were fist-timers. We ordered the pasta and it was wonderful, was so good we forgot to take a photo!

We’re definitely gonna come back and grab some wings & pizza.“

“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!“

“Best Thai restaurant in San Francisco, Ca. Food was delicious!“

“With 3 hours to kill, we set off for the food court recommended by a pilot we asked and looked at our options. We decided to "be healthy" after a 10-day cruise and were rewarded with amazing food! The Good Catch Vegan Manhattan Seafood Chowder and Tortilla soup were both amazing and the Cabo salad was hearty enough for us to share and not feel deprived in any way. Of course, we then justified a couple of chocolate chip cookies for dessert-LOL. I now hope we have a reason to get back there again.“

“Got the salmon delivered. With cous cous and spinach and holendaise. A bit pricey, but they are experts at prep, and cooking. Salmon was perfect. Honey ginger, without over powering each other or the salmon. Roasted pine nuts? Very very tasty and roasted to perfection. The holendaise was tart again exactly the way it should be. Exceptionally fresh, exceptionally executed. When in the city I will stop by and thank them. Now, of course I want to try everything else on their menu.“
