45 Best Vegan Restaurants in South San Francisco

“I love this cafe. The team is outstanding despite some shortcomings. They truly make it up. For example: the place has no AC. It’s great most of the time unless it’s very hot, which has been the case lately. I haven’t met the owner yet. I would suggest changing their bread. The bread they use for the sandwiches just isn’t up to their standards. Overall, awesome coffee. Everyone on the team is just outstanding and patient. Keep up the great work!“

“The best vegan food Best ever service-our family go to for family events and every day dining ❤️“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“Cafe De Casa has a secret Friday menu. My friend only found out about it last time because he asked someone eating it. It was Brazilian tri-tip steak. It comes with a plantain. If you ask for the combo, it comes with a plate of beans and rice, some sort of tasty potato salad with tomatoes, lettuce, diced tomatoes, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower. We also got the beef salad $17.25 and some pastries for about $5 each. Everything tasted delicious. The chef really did a good job with the Brazilian flavors. There isn't much out there that I haven't tried. It was nice to get that "new" feeling in my life. Sitting outside, on a nice sunny morning made it more special. Great job staff at Cafe De Casa.“

“Our first time eating at this restaurant.
The Cashier welcomed us in and waited patiently for us to order. He answered our questions regarding food on the menu. The waiter brought our food came came to us quickly. No wait time. Very friendly and clean environment.“

“Go early if you want their specials of the day. We arrived around 3pm and just missed out on their Apple empanadas. I love their beef, chicken or sweet potato empanadas as well as their pastries.“

“The largest sandwich I’ve ever had at a deli, love the garlic spread. Excellent sandwich!“

“I just had a chai tea latte with almond milk and a breakfast croissant sandwich (egg, cheese, avocado, tomato, lettuce) at Antigua Coffee Shop. The ladies here are so kind, the Christmas decorations are everything, and they’re playing Christmas music. If this is your favorite holiday and you’re in the city I’d check them out. 10/10 I’ll be back to try the banana French toast and omelettes.“

“Amazing hole-in-the-wall pizza place! Don't let your eyes decieve you. Their garden salad, pizza, & cheese sticks are great!!! Whatever they do to make their crust is amazing!!! Spoke with the new owners there and they are working very hard to keep this great location going!!! It's a must try!!! They even gave my kids chocolate as we were leaving. We will definitely be back when back in town!!! Keep up the great work & good luck !!!!“

“La Tapatia makes The Best " Carnitas " I've ever tasted "Muy Bueno" I buy Some at least 4x a month with freshly made Corn Tortillas ummmm 👍“

“Great delicious food! Good portions! Cute atmosphere.“

“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!“

“There are very few restaurants left that are like this in the Bay Area. What makes this place special?

It's not the delicious food. It's not the large portions. It's not the ample parking Andreas access. Maybe it's the 70s retro vibes?

It must be a combination of all the above AND the amazing staff. When I dine here, the staff always makes me feel like family. Or maybe a cherished customer?

I like this place.“

“great coffee ☕ nice ambiance“

“Excellent pizza, will try again. Pizza crust is authentic, masala is fresh.“

“I had a Provolone cheese sandwich today 1/11/25. It was delicious. Their garlic sauce and hot sauce are AMAZING! Definitely worth the wait. Good customer service as well. Thank you.“

“Amazing!! Enjoyed our dinner very much! Chicken was so tender. The flavor was amazing. Definitely will eat here again!“

“The best Shabu in San Jose and located in the perfect part of San Jose in Japantown, we love coming here to eat Shabu, it is so delicious. I highly recommend it *****five stars the owner Richard treat’s us great with so much hospitality, we just feel so welcomed and will continue to frequent his establishment.“

“Hawaiian Drive Inn is a good place to get cheap food. The portions they give are so big, mainly because of the rice plus lots of meat, and the food is delicious. I hot the BBQ short ribs plate, and I enjoyed eating it. They only accept cash. The service is friendly. I will certainly be back in the future.“

“The sandwich is good. The overly sweet and commercial sauce masked the taste of the crispy chicken. Tasty roll with shrimp and fresh mint. Service that leaves something to be desired when placing the order. The lady who took our order should have had a smile and a friendlier approach. It was unpleasant. The restaurant has Wi-Fi but that is not accessible to customers. It was a categorical no to our request.“

“Super fast service from the Master boba technician and awesome crew ❤️❤️❤️“

“Very delicious and very professional“

“Another hole-in-the-wall, underrated but great tasting Northern China food restaurant in Bay area. Hidden away in an alley, minimal decor serving unpretentious noodle, soups, and Chinese pancakes and a lot more. If you're in the neighborhood, you need to give this place a try.?? *They serve most foods in takeout containers. Bypass this and focus on the food. I had to learn this ?“

“Stopped by The Anecdote at Oyster Point for some drinks and bites after work—great spot! The bar has a cool vibe with awesome bay views. I had the mushroom empanadas, sliders, and a local beer—they all hit the spot. Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid bar food. Definitely a gem if you’re in the area.“

“Consistently solid food and service. Our go-to neighborhood Chinese restaurant for eat-in or drlivery.“

“Good food!!!! Close to my house 🏠“

“I've been staying and working in South San Francisco this week without a car. Have dined there for lunch 2 days in a row now, and both days I also brought back dinner to my hotel for the evening. Everything has been delicious with fresh ingredients. Really creative and elevated offerings for a quick service restaurant. The salmon was especially amazing! I had 2 really dismal experiences earlier in the week with Doordash and only wish I had tried Foundry & Lux sooner. I'll be back tomorrow before heading back home on Saturday 😀“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Went there for date night. Between the food, the service and the atmosphere, we were both made to feel special. Thank you Buon Gusto!“

“We went to this place for breakfast this morning. The first thing we’ve noticed is that the coffee wasn’t really that good. It has a little bit of a bitter sour taste so I would suggest they maybe think of switching the beans to something well roasted. The buckwheat pancakes were actually quite good and were a hit among the guests. Only half of us were happy with their food. My omelette was actually good but the Mingus was not to our liking.

The Service could have been more attentive to our order as we have emphasized that we want eggs well done and they came out really runny. They have a 2% surcharge on the card payment, so bring cash.“

“The food excellent. It's just that it takes a little better attention, it is understood that in the afternoons they are already tired and everything, but that is the only point and if they could have been open at night to get to eat it would be better“

“just like the old Bambu Desserts! #Avocado with boba and color jelly!! easy parking they increase prices tho'“

“Kamu Sushi in South San Francisco is a cozy, small gem that really makes every visit special. Their beer and sake is top-notch and pairs beautifully with the meal. The extra spicy edamame is a fiery delight, while the seafood options like lobster and mussels are impeccably fresh. The nigiri and Spicy Spider Roll round out an unforgettable culinary experience. A must-visit for an intimate evening of great food and drink. Cheers!“

“This is the best burrito in the peninsula, hands down. This is what a burrito should taste like! I've been coming here for decades, and the consistency stays the same. It's always a great price at $9 super burritos! The service is always friendly and even if it's crowded you still don't wait long for your food! Also, the original El Farolito in SF invented the burrito.“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“un sabor authentic Mexicano. tortillas hechas a mano. Todo muy sabroso.“

“Beautiful dinning room, food was only so so. It was expensive, but that’s everywhere nowadays.“

“food was great, and delicious“

“Super fast and friendly and super yummy all the food!“

“Fresh ingredients, delicious food; we enjoyed everything we tried. I'm just sorry I didn't try the habanero sauce; it would have been a little mild for me if I hadn't added jalapeños. For our tastes, knocks Chipotle out of the park!“

“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!“

“Food was so flavorful! We ordered fish, beef calderetta and the garlic rice with pickled veggies on the side, one of the best meals I’ve had in a while from a restaurant! Service was a little slow, it took about 20 minutes for us to get our drinks from when we sat down but the waitress was nice so we didn’t mind much. Atmosphere is a little loud, I think they rent out half of their restaurant for parties and events and there was one going on that night, but that’s also a good thing, I’ll keep them in mind next time I have an event lol.
All in all, I’d go there again because the food was top tier!“

“Great little hole in the wall poké place in an area where there's not a lot of options!

The portion sizes are great - we got a small bowl that was more than enough for 2 people to share. We got it with Ahi tuna, spicy crab, and salmon with their quinoa kale, brown rice, avocado, seaweed salad, edamame beans, and crispy onions. The sauce was spicy aioli and truffle aioli with a dash of sriracha added in for extra heat.

Overall the fish was very fresh and the flavors mixed well together to great a delicious experience! Staying at the nearby AC hotel, this was a brisk 3 minute walk on a drizzly night.

They also had mochi ice cream we didn't try at the time but perhaps next time!“

“Amazing food, big portions 😊“

“I've been taking my family here for just a few months and we're always happy with our overall experience. The staff is extremely kind and patient. The food and drinks are excellent and consistent. There are so many choices in our area but we've finally found our spot for great refreshments.“
