"Amazing vegan food! I particularly loved the crab aranchini ( highly recommend) The ceviche tostada was also good, but a bit hard to eat (the toppings kept falling off lol) I'm eager to come back to try more of their offerings. This is a pop-up kitchen located in a bar, phonobar. There's a fair amount of seating, but they don't take reservations and it does get pretty busy post 6:45pm. Service is a hybrid between restaurant and bar, but prompt and helpful."
"Updating review on the tamales:Note: Smokin D's reached out to me and offered me a new batch of their tamales after reading my review. This is just my honest opinion. This batch of tamales had more flavor than the last batch I received. All the meat (chicken and beef) were smoky and flavorful. The tamale was still a little dry for me but nothing a little hot sauce couldn't fix. Great respect to them for reaching out and making sure their food was up to par!"

My friend and I are big foodies, and with her being vegan it's always a delight to explore vegan speciality restaurants. I heard about Om Sabor from a work acquaintance and my friend recommended we go which ended up an ideal spot for us to grab dinner and catch up!Acting more of a partnership, the restaurant and bar are quite loud and it was hard to hear at times. Seating is all first come first serve with several tables, bar seating, and a back area--they truly utilize as much space as they can. The ambiance is casual with bursts of high energy, definitely a spot for friends or dates. We found service to be lacking at times as we weren't checked in, were confused about who to ask for our requests, and our food came out late.I'm dairy-free and don't eat red meat, so I chose to indulge in what I don't have. I enjoyed the Carne Asada Tacos which my friend had too! The tacos were well flavored, the texture mimicked meat, and it had a nice kick. She had the Truffle Mac n Cheese and we ordered Parmesan Fries. The fries were amazing, I haven't had parmesan in ages so it was nice to have a mimic. They offer a happy hour and a regular dinner menu.The restaurant collaborates with Phonobar and is off Grove with street and garage parking. I'm glad I could cross off this recommended spot and enjoy vegan cuisine with my friend! I wouldn't mind coming back for happy hour.

I was excited to see that this BBQ place recently opened on Irving! It's great to see a farmer's market vendor get their own brick and mortar location. I've had their brisket bao and brisket sandwich and they were both delicious and full of flavor! The brisket was tender and moist. The brisket bao is like a Chinese bbq pork bun but with brisket inside. Very yummy combo! We don't have many bbq places in SF so it's nice to have this spot.
