50 Best Salad Restaurants near South San Francisco

“We travelled from Maryland to experience San Francisco, found this local restaurant within walking distance of our hotel, and decided to give it a try. It was well worth it! The staff was accommodating, attentive and very friendly. The food was exceptional! If you haven’t tried Mediterranean cuisine or love it, this is the place for you!“

“The food here is amazing. I'm not a review leaver but this food was so good I had to say something. The salmon was incredible for such an affordable price. Staff were so kind and patient with me while I looked over the menu. Everything is so fresh. If I could come down here every day I would. So amazing 10/10 perfect lunch spot or post workout meal. Cannot wait to come back. #obsessssed“

“Starbird chicken sandwiches are the best in SF. Starbird blows chicken-fil-a out of the water with their crafted chicken sandwiches and house made everything. I really hope the franchise expands. I’ve introduced Starbird to three family members from the east who are notoriously picky and they’ve consistently found something they love from the menu“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was busy, but the service was fast. We had beef pho and tofu/vegetables with rice. The pho tasted good, but it was mostly broth, more veggies would be nice. The tofu- vegetable dish toasted ok, but it wasn't juicy enough to mix it with the rice, I had to use a lot of soy sauce, which I don't necessarily prefer, since it too salty.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent, everything tasted so good and fresh, I loved their molletes and chilaquiles, I never tried before a chilaquiles with habanero sauce but it was super good, their cafe de olla was great as well. They have friendly staff.“

“Food was very good (!!) but as others have mentioned: the portions are too small and left me unsatisfied. I’m a petite woman from Europe and this is not even a European sized meal. Make it more expensive (because I understand ingredients are expensive) and normal size, this would be fine for me. This way it feels kind of like a joke when you see the food after arriving.

Edit: I had the avocado ricotta toast“

“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 🥰🥰🥰“

“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.“

“This place never disappoints! So good“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“Oscar and his team accommodated our large group almost immediately, making what seemed impossible possible at the height of the Friday afternoon lunch hour. We especially loved seeing the Pride flag hanging high. Thank you, RT Rotisserie Team!“

“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.“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“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?!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service“

“Overall this is the best Mexican restaurant for many blocks around and it’s not particularly close. Super nice addition to the area.

The best thing here is the hot salsa, made from dried chilies, it’s really great but as far as I can tell they only give it to you if you ask, and it comes in a squeeze bottle.

I usually like carnitas extra crispy but theirs are very soft and super good.“

“Delicious offerings at the SFO airport. Had a chicken pesto wrap that was outstanding for two meals for me. Friendly team member.“

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

“I went there a few months ago and the flavors have been lingering in my mind. I can never enjoy another sandwich the same way I did with this one. The flavor was amazing but the texture was even better. The perfect crunch of the outside of the bread paired with the soft inside was 10/10. The workers are so kind and you can tell they really care about what they're doing. The inside of the building is really small and a tight fit but it's 100% worth it. Definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“The salads here are amazing! I have been here several times and tried different salad each time. No matter what I get, it always tastes fresh and the portion is generous. I highly recommend this place if you want a healthy and delicious meal!“

“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 came into Mixt not knowing what to order but Edwin helped me find the perfect meal! He was very knowledgeable on the menu, produce, and different variations of the dishes to try. I had the seasonal elote salad and it was amazing! He recommended I sub the grilled chicken for crispy and I'm so glad I did. He convinced me to get a drink and dessert on the side which were so worth it! He made my first time at Mixt very pleasant and I'm eager to come back soon!“

“4.5 stars. As a vegan of 9 years I have to say this is the best pepperoni pizza I’ve ever had! Really amazing. The wings are okay, not really worth it in my opinion because they are damn expensive and they’re a little too mushy and wet inside. But the flavors are great. The dipping sauces are SO yummy!
The vibe is nice here. I would come back for the pizza for sure but only to splurge once in a while because it is so expensive!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for breakfast and walked away super happy and fulfilled! Alba was our server and from the second she helped us, she was noting but kind and courteous. My wife and I split the Irish Breakfast and it was perfect. Service and food were a 10/10 and we would come back every day if we could!“

“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 💜💜💜💜“

“had a fantastic experience at this Brazilian pizza restaurant! The pizza was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. What really made this place special was the authentic Brazilian culture and atmosphere. From the food to the service, it felt like a true taste of Brazil.

I also appreciated that they offer halal options, including halal chicken and beef pepperoni, which can be hard to find at many pizza restaurants. It’s great to have a place where everyone can enjoy amazing pizza without compromising their dietary preferences.

If you’re looking for great pizza, a welcoming environment, and a unique Brazilian dining experience, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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. ??“

“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.“

“THANK YOU! I have ordered late night from the Melt and received a ridiculous Cobb salad. Paid a ton of money and they left out all chicken, bacon or onion and I swear put in someone's old grilled cheese as croutons. So I tried Mixt. Boiled chicken instead of crispy and no cucs. Then I ordered from here and you restored my faith. Seriously thank you. Exactly what I ordered. It was delicious as well. THANK YOU! Just wanted a salad that I ordered and finally got it“

“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 😊“

“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.“
