50 Best Vegan Restaurants in South San Francisco

“OMG these are the cutest! My favorite is the Mango passion fruit eclair, one time I got it with the filling still frozen inside and it’s seriously even better 😆 I wish we can have that option haha! Anyway best wishes and thanks for the pleasant experience as usual.“

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

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

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

“Nice Brazilian Café. The juices are great.

Insane parking situation. Four spots right outside otherwise you have to make a 2 mile, 10 min detour/U-turn to the parking lot on Randolph Ave. No parking on a Tuesday afternoon so I imagine the weekends are even worse.“

“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.“

“I'm a sucker for old-fashioned diners, the ones that seem stuck in time, stubbornly holding on to nostalgia when it was king in its glory days, back before chain restaurants and cookie-cutter decor and brands.

They hold a special allure when you're traveling down the byways where they still thrive, but they're especially precious when you find them in urban areas where they compete with fast-food conglomerates.

So I don't take places like Gunter's for granted, an old establishment (South San Francisco) in the midst of urban blandness of homogeneity. They're still places where old men gather swapping tall tales and spar politics over Farmer Brothers coffee brand to while their time away.

This genre seems to be a fleeting gem of Americana as I see many of them boarded up and closed down even along the blue highways. So in your travels, take a moment to patronize these places before too many of them disappear as victims of people's preference for national brands and indifference.“

“Ever thought of trying a local small business, family restaurant. The guy who runs this place came from Turkiye in 2008. Settled down in SFO, had a family and is living an American dream.
His only complaint is SFO is expensive. Well we can all agree to that.
Food is very tasty.
We tried falafel wrap, chicken gyro and kids gyro with rice. All of these were of great quality. Plus the Turkish delight was fabulous. Owner shared Turkish tea on the house. Plus I ordered fries in kids meal but it came with rice instead. No worries he added fries and refused to take money for it. Well I made it up in the tip.
If you are south SFO and crave Mediterranean food. This is the place.“

“I’m a huge fan of dirty chai lattes and I’m always searching for who has the best. The dirty chai at Antigua is definitely near the top of the list for me. Not too sweet and not too spicy which is the way I like them. Will def be back for the chai. Pastries were also delicious. Haven’t tried the food yet but looks like it would be amazing.“

“Came in after a super long day and just wanted a slice and a seat before heading home. The staff here is extremely kind and helps you walk through your order. The gentleman that took my order at the register made sure my table was well equipped with all the seasonings.

Pizza is SUPER good. Cheesy, crispy (I asked for the crisp and 👍), full of flavor! Highly recommend this place.“

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

“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!“

“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 👍“

“Friendly, elegantly set up, and good service - what's not to like? Early lunch on a weekday with a professional connection. It was almost empty (some folks came for takeout). We appreciated the flexibility on beverages, and the great flavors on both our sandwiches.“

“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.“

“Excellent food. I’ve only been able to try the sandwiches, but the two I got were tasty. I tried the combo and the crispy duck. I’ll have to go back to try the pho. It just opened when I got there. They got my sandwiches very quick. The ambiance was nice and modern with plenty of seating. Service was nice and helpful. It’s a little more than what I’m use to for a Banh Mi Sandwich, but I have to take into consideration the neighborhood I’m purchasing it from. I’ll definitely come back.“

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

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

“Very delicious and very professional“

“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.“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

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

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

“Good food!!!! Close to my house 🏠“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“great coffee ☕ nice ambiance“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I ordered a green union pancake and it was incredible. Pork&shrimp dumplings were the best and beef chow fun was really good. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for chinese food.“

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

“food was great, and delicious“

“The lollipop chicken here is truly an eye-opening experience. Instead of a typical chicken batter, it has a ginger flavor reminiscent of Japanese karaage, making it incredibly enjoyable and easy to eat. Paired with a cold beer, it’s absolute heaven. The sauce might not be for everyone, but I personally found it to complement the chicken perfectly. While the other dishes didn’t leave much of an impression, the lollipop chicken alone is so addictive that I’d come here at least once a week just for it.“

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

“A little off the beaten path, but the journey is worth it. Jo-Anns is one of those local gems with fresh, quickly prepared foods, seasonal specials (I wish I'd ordered the pumpkin pancakes but my diet held me to the Neapolitan eggs). Free refills on coffee and a relaxed atmosphere made this the perfect place to hide from the rain while I waited for my time to head to the airport. Delicious and the staff are so friendly!“

“The place is so simple soo regular
That you go get food and out thats it
But the taste is 100/10 perfect
Latino people making their own food their own heritage its just perfect 👌👌
Willing to go back to San Francisco just to eat there again“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

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

“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.“

“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 😀“

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

“I go there 2 to 3 times a week. it's has most of the stuff that I need.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food, big portions 😊“

“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.“

“It’s quite a big place with different sections for group reservations that each have a different kind of ambiance. There are nights where live music from a local band plays or for special events. Food is generally ok, buffet sometimes are not a variety of selection, a good research can help decide if you want to dine here.“

“Felt a little pushy even tho it was fairly empty. Took my full bowl of broth right away after I finished my noodles- I was gonna order extra noodles and beef but I guess not. However this is the best Bánh xèo near to me- crispy and tasty!“

“A big shout out to Danny.

I previously ordered the Chips and Dip which I love. Originally, I was concerned about how spicy the Aioli was but to my surprise, it was just right. I can't speak as to the atmosphere, but I want to recognize Danny in the South San Francisco location. On October 4, I placed an order with Truffle Poke Bar through Grubhub. I ordered three items, the mango (which is delicious), an order of Chips & Dip and an extra order of the Aioli Dip. Of the three items two were delivered. I immediately reached out to Grubhub and spoke with a supervisor who refused to refund my money for the missing item stating I received too many refunds. I then reached out to Truffle Poke Bar and was contacted the following day by Danny who said he would make things right and that I could order $20 worth of food. Of note is that he agreed that Grubhub frequently misdelivers order. He emphasized with me in that Grubhub refused to issue a refund for a less than $5 item.“

“The food here is OK. It took over 15 minutes. People that ordered after me got their food within five minutes. I ordered a beefteki (baked beef) pita $13.73, chicken skewer $6.04, side of rice $4.40 and a froyo $7.09. Everything tasted OK. It wasn't great.“

“It is a Denny's, food is never bad. Service was good. The place was busy but still delivered. The waiters were great. It is really hard to judge any Denny's, there is nothing really special but at the same time it never disappoints and the food never makes me sick. When in doubt, go to Denny's.“
