The Most Delicious Salad in San Francisco

Zadna Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (879) • $$

"Generous portions and good food. Came here for a weekend takeout lunch and ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, lamb kofta wrap and a side of garlic fries. The menu may seem on the pricier side but when we got the food we understood why, the wraps were huge and fries were overflowing from the box. If you're not a big eater I think you could actually share a wrap with a side between two people.Food came out promptly and ingredients tasted like they were high quality. Each wrap came with a side of toom and hot sauce. My chicken shawarma wrap was different than I was expecting in that the chicken was covered in sauce. Might not be everyone's preference for those that prefer the taste of grilled meat but I enjoyed it. Fries were well seasoned and very crispy. Would come back again."

CyBelle's Front Room

★★★★☆ 4.1 (952) • $$

"CyBelle's, however you pronounce it, has the best vegan pizza in San Francisco. I don't know whether its their own recipe or a product they found, but the vegan cheese is way above what fake cheeses normally provide. They also make their own vegan pepperoni, and they also offer a vegan cashew pesto sauce which is delicious. We usually get half pepperoni & half Chicken-On-The-Green, made with vegan chicken, natch.They apparently have a bunch of other vegan items like sandwiches, mac n "cheese", etc; but I am still so thrilled to have a proper pizza again after so many years that that's all I order.It's not 100% vegan, don't worry meat-heads. I'm sure their non-vegan food is as top notch as their vegan options. You can tell that they take pride in their food.Please check them out, and be aware that the restaurant is usually not so crowded that you can't get a table any night, though I hope that changes because I want CyBelles to be around at least until I die."

Cobani Gyro & Kebab

★★★★☆ 4.2 (880) • $$

"I tried the lamb plate and it was incredible! Highly recommend--best Mediterranean food I've had!"

Bite

★★★★☆ 4.1 (888) • $$

"I've been to this place a couple of times. They both were good. Looks like a boring tiny space, right? But what they offer here is huge and the sandwiches are yummy! Service is welcoming and friendly. I don't know her name but she will absolutely make your sandwich the way you want it to be, just ask for it! I think their pricing is well considered for what we get! Come try!!!"

Long Bridge Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (744) • $$

"I came here with around a dozen people on a Friday afternoon, and there was plenty of seating available in the back area of the rustic-decorated restaurant. We ordered a few large pizzas including the Hot N' Honey and A Loading Dock, and we also had a person Hot N' Honey pizza for our group. The workers were very helpful in getting us seated and being out the plates and utensils before our pizza was served.Our group quickly finished all pizzas available on the table. We all stated that the Hot N' Honey pizza was the best pizza there and that we would have all been satisfied had we ordered only Hot N' Honey pizzas for the whole table. While their other pizzas were also satisfying, I would love to come back for the Hot N' Honey pizza specifically at Long Bridge Pizza every time."

Bangkok Street Thai Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (784) • $$

"We have always strolled by this cute and cozy restaurant when we're in Japantown. We have dined here a couple of times and finally coming back to satisfy our thai food cravings. The staff here are so kind, attentive, making the dining experience so welcoming. What we ordered:- Pad Kee Mao w/ chicken - Thai Street BBQ platter (get this, so worth the money and you can try different dishes such as sticky rice, thai salad, larb, and chicken) - Duck Curry (this was so so good because they give you deboned duck meat. I appreciate this so much because I don't like biting into bones)- Mango Sticky Rice (lightly sweet which makes it so good) - Tom Yum & Tom Kha beer (must try even if you don't like beer as it is very light in taste)I can't wait to come back to try more dishes and the hospitality is top notch!"

The Barn

★★★★☆ 4 (845) • $$

"On a little getaway trip with our pup we decided to dine at The Barn as they offer all outdoor seating by their restaurant and have an additional "garden patio" area with additional seating.You first walk inside to order and then take your buzzer to the tables and seat yourself. They have blankets to cover the benches in case it's cold and outdoor heaters that can be turned on. We ordered the Barn Burger (classic beef burger), the What the Cluck (fried chicken sandwich - can also be served grilled if you prefer), a side of fries, and the Mac Attack (fried macaroni).The Barn Burger is your classic burger - which was thought was pretty standard. Ingredients tasted fresh and the bun kept everything together. The only downside was that the beef patty was quite small and not to the shape of the bun. At the end we found ourselves with bun + toppings, but no more beef.The What the Cluck is served on ciabatta bread and the arugula is a nice touch. Chicken was fried well and was tender inside. The portion is sizeable as well. However, if you're not a goat cheese fan, you may want to sub out the cheese as it was quite strong and overpowered the sandwich quite a bit.The Mac Attack is a nice side addition. Fried perfectly to a crunchy crisp and velvety cheesy goodness on the inside. It's served with ranch and four pieces is plenty for two people!We were surprised by the portion of a side of fries. You can definitely share between two people as they give plenty.Self serve water outside and you bus your own table when you're done!Overall, love the outdoor dining area and that it is dog friendly. Would return with our pup when in Half Moon Bay!"

RT Rotisserie

★★★★☆ 4.2 (761) • $$

"RT Rotisserie has me hooked. I've lost count, but this might've been my 7th (8th?) chicken rice bowl--I genuinely can't get enough. Obsessed is an understatement. And somehow, even though it's always solid via takeout, dining in just takes it to a whole new level. The chimichurri sauce especially--it hits different fresh at the table, bright and punchy in all the right ways.Casual spot, chill vibes--order at the counter, find your own seat, nothing fussy. My friend grabbed a side of fries, and honestly, those were pretty great too. Bonus: their ice cream is surprisingly good, so save a little room if you can.TL;DR: Chicken rice bowls are a must (duh), dine-in if you want the full flavor experience, and don't sleep on the fries or ice cream."

opa cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (614) • $$

"I come here often since it's convenient and affordable. They have a huge selection including breakfast sandwiches, burgers and kebab plates. My go to:- hummus bowl with lamb shawarma(a bit greasy) - chicken shawarma plate- extra meat ($4-6)"

Marcello's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (825) • $

"At the time of this writing, there are four places to get a slice of pizza in the Castro, plus two other places that only offer whole pies. I've tried them all (cheese and veggie slices), and since Escape From New York sold their Castro location to another pizza place, Marcello's is my favorite. Not to slag off the other choices, but overall Marcello's slices have the thin crust I like and the tastiest sauce, and lots of specialty combos to choose from (I like the Greek combo veggie special). Not quite *Great* but I have no complaints about the product.One suggestion (and I hope the management reads this). I realize this is 2025 and everyone conducts business on their friggin' phone, but it would be nice to have a COMPLETE menu in the shop either on paper or on the big board behind the counter so when you want to order a whole pie or something that's not on the partial menu that's shown up there on the board, you can do so on the premises without having to look up the menu on your phone. I almost ordered from home for pickup, but even the online menu only shows prices for small size pies, and not prices for medium, large or family size pies. The friendly counter person told me to look up what I wanted on my phone, and even after doing so they had to look up the different prices based on size of pizza. It's way more cost-effective to get a large or family size pizza and share it or have some left over the next day, so I got a large pie and it was big enough to give away three slices to some hungry homeless people on the street and take the rest home for myself. So yeah, please just print up some nice big menus on card stock and laminate them so a customer can walk in and figure out what to order without fiddling with their phone and then having to ask the clerk for more detailed pricing info on the checkout terminal.Love your pizza, thanks a bunch..."

Ginza Sushi & Sake

★★★★☆ 4.2 (654) • $$

"This is one of my friend's go-to sushi spots, and I can see why! The location is super convenient, and both the sushi and service are consistently good. I tried both the sushi and meat dishes, and they were quite enjoyable. The ambiance is calm and laid-back, making it a nice place to unwind. Overall, it's a solid choice for quick and reliable Japanese food when I'm in the area."

Bonne Sante Broadway

★★★★☆ 4 (706) • $$

"There's a Subway down the street and if you go there instead of Bonne Sante Broadway, do us all a favor and slap yourself. I had the Hottie Sandwich with everything on a soft French roll and it was arguably the best buffalo chicken sandwich I've ever had, and I've had a lot of deli sandwiches in my life (peep my check-in history). The size of the sandwich was intimidating but I put my work in and demolished it, savoring every delicious bite. Don't get me started on their signature sun-dried tomato tapenade, chef's kiss. Definitely a local family friendly vibe and service was helpful and fast. Fortunately, I don't live too far away because I'm definitely going to become a regular!"

Ted's Market & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (575) • $

"I have been here several times and the items that I have bought is the Rasberry Zingers & Cherry Flavored Energy Drink!!!! This Market & Deli is a cool place!!! Not only that I also had bought myself a Zero Sugar A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer cool place to buy yourself a refreshing drinks or beer of your choice!!!!!"

Regent Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (633) • $$

"It's the ONLY place for Thai food in the city! Been going for over 20 years! I take all my visiting friends and they LOVE it!"

Cafe Du Soleil

★★★★★ 4.5 (461) • $$

"This is my absolute favorite spot to get lunch when I worked downtown. They have the most amazing lunch offerings. inside there is a wonderful places to sit. It is a small café so seating is limited. It did remind me of being in Paris.Sandwiches are made fresh and to order and I absolutely just die for the ham with brie on a baguette.All the ingredients are fresh and the cashier is prompt and courteous . I always recommend Café de Soleil whenever anyone ask me what is the best spot to eat in the city."

SOMA Eats

★★★★☆ 4.2 (500) • $$

"Great place to eat if you live or work in SF downtown. This place was introduced to us by one of our coworkers and quickly became team's favorite place for lunch. My favorite here is Greek salad and roasted eggplant sandwich."

Jane On Larkin

★★★★☆ 3.9 (549) • $$

"I love cafes like this where breakfast is served all day, giving us so much to choose from on the menu. We got the sausage biscuit with no roasted tomato jam, the roasted mushroom and onion panini, a white chocolate oatmeal cookie, a double chocolate cookie, an iced mocha, and some tea. Everything looked better than it tasted, but that doesn't mean it tasted bad, the presentation was just very appetizing. They were generous with the toppings in the sandwiches, and the biscuit was nice and fluffy and seemingly infused with herbs. The cookies from the display case had good flavor but were a bit too chewy.Outside there is little to no signage, so the cafe is easy to miss from the sidewalk, in a run-down area with homeless scattered throughout. However, the inside is a total 180, a clean and pleasant atmosphere, offering sufficient service and a good amount of seating for dining in."

A K Meats

★★★★★ 4.5 (379) • $$

"This is the best place to buy meat and fish! Super great neighborhood vibe. Very friendly and accommodating. I prefer to buy my chicken, salmon and steaks here vs any large supermarket."

Ocean Fish Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (547) • $$

"This restaurant has been here for years but for some reason I never went in. I love Bento Boxes and especially OFS&G's 3 item Bento. I get the chicken teriyaki, California rolls and mixed tempura. All very delicious. The chicken teriyaki could use just a little more teriyaki sauce, but it's all tasty. Besides the 3 item choices, the box comes with a salad and rice. Tasty and reasonably priced, especially given there are either two or three pieces of shrimp in the mixed tempura. I think I've been 4 times now in the past week and a half. Can't believe I didn't try this place sooner. I haven't eaten in -I order directly from their website then drop by to pick up -but during dinner it's usually got a good number of people there. Pickup is very easy and the staff is friendly."

Pizz'a Chicago

★★★★☆ 3.5 (586) • $$

"Wonderful Pizza, best crust I've ever ate. Owner is very personable. Family ran. We also tried the deep Fried pub pickles w/Ranch The ranch is made in house and the pickles were great as wellGreat tasty Experience. They do deliver have pickup or eat in. They also have a Patio. Give it a try you won't be disappointed."

Tom San Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (417) • $$

"Came here on Sunday around noon, my boyfriend and I were immediately seated upon arrival. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious and family friendly. Once we were seated, they brought out waters and utensils! But if I'm honest, the time it took to get our food was really slow compared to how fast they seated us and brought out our waters. Tom San was a rec from one of my friends, and we were so shocked to see the prices when looking at the menu. You're really getting a great deal for the sashimi and ramen as well. Onto the food itself, the ramen was so delicious. We got the spicy miso - perfectly spicy and there was so much depth to the broth. It wasn't watery or super thick, the perfect amount of both. The egg was a little runnier than I liked, but still very lovely pair with the ramen. We also got their chirashi bowl, which was filled with ample amounts of sashimi. So good and we were honestly stuffed at the end, it hurt. Dragon roll was so yum, the tempura was so crispy and the sauce wasn't too sweet! Highly recommend, seems like everything on their menu is going to be good. If you're looking for a quick spot, it does take some amount of time for them to prep the food (which - I am not complaining about! Obviously I'd rather have quality of food over the speed of delivery; though both would be nice), that being said, I recommend coming here for the quality of the food!"

Handy Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (313) • $$

"Came across Handy Deli on Yelp while looking for sandwiches near Golden Gate Park, and I'm so happy I did! I feel like delis that double as liquor stores can be hit or miss, and this was a huge hit! The variety of sandwiches was plentiful, as was the drink and beer selection. They had everything ranging from breakfast sandwiches, to traditional classics, and Italian sandwiches. On top of that they had chicken shawarma, salads, and a sign that even showed some Mexican food options. While we only went with sandwiches this time, we're definitely going back to try those panuchos. Service was friendly and sandwiches came out fresh as they were made to order. Excited to come back and try more of the menu!"

Mission Picnic

★★★★☆ 4.2 (370) • $$

"We had sandwiches and salads catered yesterday for a work event and everybody loved the food! Everything was packaged really well as well. 10/10! I'll be going back soon on my own!"

Tanuki Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (421) • $$

"The restaurant is smaller in size and has around 10 tables and a sushi bar. We always sit at the bar so we can talk to the owner. He learned his skills from Japan so the food is really authentic. Must order (all 5/5)- California handroll with salmon skin (not on the menu, need to special order)- o toro- chu-toro- hamachi toro- monkfish liver- clam soup- tonkatsu - noodle salad - live scallop - Kobe beef"

Pho Saigon

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (875) • $$

"We were craving pho and swung by Pho Saigon. My usual order is pho with beef balls. The broth is perfectly salty and flavorful. I ordered a medium and was shocked by how filling it was. We also got the tofu spring rolls and they were delicious. The flavoring of the tofu is addicting and it's for sure a favorite! Pho Saigon is one of our go tos!"

Curry Pizza House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (363) • $$

"Curry pizza house is our go-to and never fails! I loved the palo alto location specifically because I love the service there, they made us feel comfortable and asked us if were doing okay periodically! Its a sports bar, and there was a game going on when we went, we loved the whole atmosphere.As a vegetarian, I love the malai paneer pizza the most - its spicy and creamy."

Centro Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (311) • $$

"My boyfriend and I recently moved into the area and had people visiting. We decided to pick up a pizza as it can be the easiest...and OMG Centro Pizza did not disappoint. We ordered 2 pizzas one was the pizza pesto and pizza sapore.Both pizzas were a hit! So much flavor, the pizza pesto was honestly the best I would definitely recommend this place. Super convenient and the prices are decent!"

Papa Mak's Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (454) • $$

"Solid spot for a nice big burger in the sunset! This place is totally casual and gives off beachy vibes even though it is a ways up from the ocean. They serve up burgers, a variety of fries, and some other sandwiches. We've come to enjoy a beer and fries on their outdoor picnic tables, and also for burgers. While burgers are their namesake, they aren't messing around on the fries either. I've had both the regular and curry fries and have loved how crispy each of them are, they also don't skimp on the serving. Burgers are big and juicy and come loaded with all the toppings you'd want. I've had the mushroom deluxe and papa burger, both were really good and I'd order either one again. Prices have gone up since the start of the year, we came in January and burgers were all about $3 more when we came back in June, but the prices aren't absurd for what you get. The burgers are rather large and filling, plus with the cost of food going up it makes sense."

Hamburger Haven

★★★★☆ 4 (362) • $$

"Food was incredible, the diner vibes go so hard. The service was amazing we sat down and had a clean table, water, and coffee within about thirty seconds."

Chao Pescao

★★★★☆ 4.4 (299) • $$

"We have traveled to both Cuba and Colombia, both of which we loved for many reasons, including the food. So when my honey found this Cuban-Colombian restaurant, it felt like fate. We have since had dinner here three times, each time before seeing a show at the Orpheum or other local venue. Easily walkable.My biggest piece of advice is to go with people who are good at sharing because the best way to make the most of Chao Pescao is by ordering dishes to share. Everything we've eaten has been thoroughly enjoyed. My favorites have been the Empanada de Cerdo (pork), Pan de Bono (warm tapioca rolls), Ensalada Havana (sin cerdo), and Arepa de Bistec (steak).They also boast an interesting cocktail/mocktail menu and your water is unlikely to ever be empty. The welcoming and bright environment just adds to the already great experience. We'll be back!"

The Salad Place

★★★★★ 4.5 (275) • $

"Stopped by this place for coffee and was pleasantly surprised. Breakfast bagel sandwiches were amazing and he can make it with whatever you please. I had egg, avocado, and cheese on Asiago and my husband had egg, bacon, cheese, veggies, with slight spice. We loved them both. Coffee was good with lots of variety. Best of all he was very nice and accommodating as we were just visiting from out of town. Highly recommended!"

La Fromagerie

★★★★☆ 4.3 (295) • $$

"Excellent menu and wine choices. Happy hour is a plus. Fresh food is made to order, and service is outstanding. I love this quick stop for cheese and wine any time of the day when they are open."

MIXT

★★★★☆ 3.7 (396) • $$

"The Grand Opening of the new Mixt Greens Russian Hill is today. A great welcome outside with free sample of their Crist cauliflower. Inside the Mixt crew we're welcoming (so friendly)! I got a warm Curry Chicken Salad Bowl. The cashier gave me a welcome code to get 50% off the cost! I also have the Mixt mobile app and get a bonus of a small bouquet of dried flowers .What a sweet deal.The place is lively early at lunchtime.There are comfy booths and community tables (some are with high stool seats).The warm salad was delicious! I highly recommend to eat healthy here!"

Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (354) • $

"I was craving a sandwich and have visited other Mr Pickles locations but never this one, so... I decided to drop in. I ordered the #4 Tom Tom sandwich on a sweet roll. The size was just right and satisfying. The fresh ingredients were spot on and I even walked away with a whole dill pickle *yum*I'll be back for"

Seniore's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (363) • $$

"Best pizza in San Mateo For years we been eating pizza from this place.We always order delivery. Review based on the pepperoni pizza we get only , Cheese on pizza is so good , we always order an XL because we love having left overs from this place when we reheat it comes out like if it was freshly delivered. Although I wish they added more cheese packets in the box . Their pizza is great and worth it."
