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 ❤️“

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

“The food here is good and so is the coffee. They offer açaí bowls, breakfast options, and a bakery that is completely Brazilian. So if you’re Latino and want to try something different from the usual spots, this is a great choice. The dishes are very healthy and while this location doesn’t have an espresso machine, so coffee options are somewhat limited, what they do have is tasty.

If you’re planning to order by phone, make sure to call ahead as it can get pretty busy and your order might take a while. Overall, it’s a good café, affordable, flavorful, and a nice break from the typical spots. If you’re in the mood for something non-traditional, give it a try.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Order at the counter, grab your number and sit down. Crispy duck banh mi was delicious . The bread was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Chicken spring rolls were pretty good. I would come back to try their pho and traditional sandwiches.“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“great coffee ☕ nice ambiance“

“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.“

“Very delicious and very professional“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

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

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

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

“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 😀“

“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“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“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.“

“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“

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

“food was great, and delicious“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“The BEST!! 💯👍😁I'm a white lady who's been eating Pho for 30 years, esp with Asian friends and the #18 Chicken noodle Pho w 5 spice chicken on the side? Excellent. Can't wait to return and try it other dishes. Highlyl recommend. Love the big window with trees everywhere, too.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, big portions 😊“

“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.“
