“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!“

“This place has definitely won me as a customer! The food was pretty good, but and service there was great! Got a chance to meet Hani, who was working the cashier at the time and he was pretty cool, polite, and down to earth! Tried their 2 slices, wings, and garlic cheese fries! The pizza and wings were super delicious and my favorite of the 3. Definitely going there again when I’m back in the area.“

“This place is a gem in SSF! We come here regularly about 2-3 times a month for the last 4 years because we love it so much! The ingredients are always fresh and great quality. The owner John is super friendly and hospitable as well as Yakup who regularly works there too. They also make homemade Turkish Delight that’s the best we’ve had. Please give this place a try and you will love it too!“

“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.“

“I just love this place! The service is always SO FAST, excellent, and so warm. All the servers are just fantastic. Great for lunch/dinner (Turkey club is my fave) but the breakfast is where they really shine. Love the popeye scramble with several cups of grat coffee. Very old school local vibes. I hope they are around forever!“

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

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

“The Anecdote, offers a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant features a spectacular atmosphere with beautiful interior design, an impressive collection of artwork, wood & rope designs and comfortable seating that creates a welcoming and relaxing environment.

Upon arrival, Rocky greeted me with a warm smile and kindly escorted me to one of the available tables downstairs, making me feel welcome right away. The view overlooks South San Francisco modern commercial architecture, adding to the restaurant's contemporary ambiance.

Conveniently located near the waterfront, The Anecdote is also easily accessible via the South San Francisco Ferry, making it a great destination for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy a scenic trip before or after a delicious meal. If you're searching for a restaurant that combines outstanding service, stylish surroundings, and a convenient waterfront location, The Anecdote is well worth a visit.“

“What delicious food! The service was quick and options were authentic and delicious. We loved their hot and sour soup and the pan fried soup dumplings. We got sesame balls for dessert on the house. We even left with more food than originally ordered and some extra good fortune!“

“I order from Cafe Bunn Mi regularly, and they absolutely nail it every single time. The food is always great and incredibly fresh. It’s rare to find a spot that is this consistent with their quality, but they never disappoint.

On top of the excellent food, the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. The prices are also totally fair and appropriate for the solid portions and quality you get. If you’re looking for a reliable, delicious meal in South SF, this is definitely the place to go!“

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

“food was great, and delicious“

“Absolutely love Spruce Cafe. If you want quality artisanal coffee made with care, this is the place. If you want quick burnt milk coffee, go to Starbucks.

The team here is honestly what makes it special — Amy, Julia, Caitlin, Noah, Andrea, Isa, and Alex always create such a welcoming environment. They remember my dog’s name and always offer him a treat, which says so much about the kind of experience they create for their customers.

You can tell they genuinely care about the coffee, the atmosphere, and the people coming through the door. Great drinks, warm staff, and consistently good vibes every time I come in.“

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

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

“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.“

“Very delicious and very professional“

“Great place to eat dim sum“

“We’re going for burritos and detoured to Nicks to ask if they have spanikopta. Affirmative so in came. Food is amazingly good, fresh, tasty, perfectly spiced.
Bravo! We’ll be back!! Chef’s kiss and btw, Jackie is a doll! She is so graceful 😊“

“Eats lot of good food and come out fast“

“Best tacos I've ever had. I've also had the super burrito and the ceviche. Everything here is excellent and tastes so fresh. The fruit juice and horchata are also worth trying. If you're debating where to get lunch or a late night bite, congrats you've found the spot, you need to go here.“

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

“Wow, they have great food! The portions are large, and the flavors are wonderful. So many choices for proteins, toppings and salsa. My pollo verde meat was flavorful and very tender. I would definitely seek out this restaurant when in the area again. It's that good!! I wish I took photos.“

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

“Good food!!!! Close to my house 🏠“

“The service was excellent. The waitress, Lulu was very attentive to our needs. On top of that the food was great. I had an Esmeralda which is a spicy dish with three scrambled eggs, cream cheese, jalapeños, and avocado inside a flour tortilla topped with green sauce.“

“This place is to go only. For some reason the dining area is closed off but the food was really good! I wasn’t expecting much of the food but the portions were generous, the food was delicious and the food was prepared quickly. I have no complaints!

UPDATE: I went back again because someone told I had to try the lollipop chicken. I also order the eggplant in schezuan sauce and they were both great. The chicken was definitely the best thing I’ve eaten here so far!“

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

“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 😀“

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

“great coffee ☕ nice ambiance“

“I had not been to this specific Quickly below because there are a couple others closer to where I live and usually shop. I really liked the size and decor, and the ease of using the Revi ordering kiosk.
My passion fruit slush with double aloe was really good, though it started melting pretty fast. My husband's Jasmine milk tea was exactly as advertised. The popcorn chicken was really good, even if it took some time to make (which they do warn you about, so I'm not mad). I will definitely return to this Quickly in the future.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, big portions 😊“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Fort McKinley Restaurant, Bar & Banquet offers a wonderful dining experience. The food was flavorful and well prepared, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The portions were satisfying, and everything we tried was enjoyable. It’s a great place for a relaxed meal or a special gathering, and I would happily visit again.“

“First of all, this is my favorite poke place ever for almost 5 years now since I moved from Florida to California. I recently came back in the area for work in May this year 2026 from 2024 and already got 3 bowls in less than a month that’s how much I love this place. But question for the management, what is going on with your staff customer service skills? Do they not want to work for you? They seemed mad, impatient, and rude then speaks Spanish right after I request something. This behavior appears consistent the last 3 times. It wasn’t like this before 2 years ago. Also the portions have gone lower. I respect it more when they would weigh but to just guess and put 2 pcs then comes back just to grab one more little pc without weighing for 1 of 4 protein choice seems really odd. A lot of the same comments about staff rudeness is spoken here. I still gave five stars but I expect better the next time I come back. It’s such a beautiful area too.“

“This location offers a clean atmosphere and is open 24 hours, with quick and friendly service. The food looks just as appetizing as it does in the menu photos, and the quality matches what you see when ordering. I would definitely return to this location because of the kind and welcoming service.“

“Wanted to have my birthday lunch somewhere new and have heard of this place from others so decided to give it a try. The portions came out larger than we expected and couldn't even finish for a group of four. Everything was tasty, although the Mongolian beef didn't taste like an average Mongolian beef. The pork chops and the eggplant were probably my favorite.

You get a discount if you pay with cash, but they expect a larger tip in return so just keep that in mind. Still. Everything came out to less than $100 with tips, so not bad at all. We'd definitely come back.“
