    Chow mein with pork
    Caitlyn M.

    Had dinner here on Friday at 5:45pm. They only had outside seating available on a covered patio. They have heat lamps which is nice when it's cold. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to sit inside. We got the tandoori octopus, the pork momos, chow mein with pork, the lamb matar, and a side of garlic naan. Everything was tasty and flavorful, we especially enjoyed the tandoori octopus and the chow mein. The tandoori octopus was unique and cooked well. The chow mein was good and came with crispy pork belly. The lamb matar curry was also flavored well and was great with the naan.

    Such good comfort food. The momos are super fun and the sauce they come with is to die for!!! The cashew curry was a new kind of smooth and rich that I didn't know I needed in my life. It seems like the best possible rainy day food of all time! The chow mein was also really good! Really good spices and seasoning in that one :). Very nice ambiance and friendly service too! Thank you guys for a great Valentine's Day dinner :)

    Lots of great vegetarian options, and great place for ordering family style. Would highly recommend their noodles and curry. If you're coming on a weekend definitely make sure to get a reservation as this place gets very busy. Just be aware that the wait time for food can be pretty long

    This place doesn't get enough hype. All the food is amazing, great service, casual atmosphere. It's an incredible neighborhood gem.

    Kale Chaat
    Sarah T.

    Man this place is a HIDDEN GEM. AMAZING Nepalese food. Beautiful interior too. Feels very welcoming and comfortable. Came two weekends in a row and here's what I ordered: Kale Chaat - Oh you are missing out if you don't try this. Crispy fried kale mixed with a balsamic sauce, creamy yogurt (I think) sauce, mint and crispy topping. It's the perfect balance of sour, creamy, sweet, tangy and all the textures. The dish is served cold and just feels so light. The mix of flavors is super unique and honestly I save some to eat with my curry just because it adds that element of lightness that compliments the other dishes really well. Pork Momos - I'm chinese so this reminds me of a xiaolongbao but without the soup in the middle and instead with a delicious curry flavor. Perfectly cooked skin with plenty of meat filling. Really yummy! Pork Belly Bhutuwa - Giant pieces of juicy pork belly in like a spiced oil and it comes with a tomato salsa-like sauce that balances out that heavy garam masala. Was delicious but not as impressive as the kale chaat. Butter Chicken - This was recommended by the server and I'm so glad we went with this! Probably the best butter chicken I've ever had. Just a perfect mix of savory and sweetness, which made this one taste lighter than the other ones I've had. I love that they go the extra mile and use dark meat chicken and grill it before adding to the curry, so you get the smokey charred flavor as well. We ate it with turmeric rice which was the perfect compliment. The portion is really big too! Overall, LOVE Base Camp and would highly recommend checking it out!

    I have a love-hate relationship with Base Camp. The vibe is cute, and they got outdoor seating with heaters. We've taken friends here and they loved it. I just have personal beef with the wait time. The service is okay. I've been here so many times but at least 2 times we waited over 45 minutes for some momos. I feel like the server forgot to check with the kitchen and then told us they were out of chicken momos 20 minutes into waiting and then took extra 20 mins to get the momos. Were the momos fire, yes... but omg when you're hangry and craving momos this is not the place. We did come another time, and the wait was reasonable, but I just have been disappointed 1 too many times. Overall, ngl the food is pretty good, could be spicier but it is solid flavor wise. I'd still bring my friends here but with my own snacks to hold everyone over. The momos are my favorite thing to get here, but the timeliness is not consistent, so I longer have faith and now just order to go.

    Kale Chat
    Hannah G.

    Everything was sooooo good! We got momos, chow mein, kale chat (my favorite but forgot to take a pic) and the pork belly. Will be coming back here

    Butter chicken

    Group of five went there after the Giants game on Mother's Day. We had butter chicken very good. Goat curry was excellent tender and flavorful. Lamb skewers were a little tough and I thought overcooked but just OK. Momos were excellent pork. I like the chow mein, but half the party thought it was too spicy. Watermelon salad was fresh and flavorful. Garlic naan was a little bit too crispy for my liking. The onion and pepper fritters were excellent!

    Fish Curry
    Amy G.

    Was looking for a quick dinner before my pottery class across the street, and stopped into Base Camp! It quickly got busy after 5:30/6:00PM so I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The chicken momos were delectable and juicy, plus their table chili oil is SPICYYY. Exactly what I wanted on a windy SF evening. The fish curry was one of the best I've ever had. Great assortment of seafoods inside and nice and light. It definitely wasn't cream or coconut milk based. Definitely pair it with a side of the garlic naan. If I came with more people or was hungrier, I would've tried their version of chow mein too. Will definitely be back!

    I obsessively sing Base Camp's praises and crave their food -- especially the kale chaat -- every other month. Have been here 5 or 6 times with friends and the food never disappoints. The inside is decorated with homey Himalayan ware, and the menu has something for everyone. My go-to dishes are the kale chaat (I have never eaten such crispy, crunchy, creamy goodness) and I love the butter chicken curry and goat curry with a side of garlic naan (they do a great job with the crisp-to-poofy dough ratio). Service is pretty good, though ofc waits are a little longer when it's super busy. The only downside is that it gets pretty crowded so if you want a guaranteed less than 15 min wait a reservation is the way to go. Tucked in a quieter part of the Mission though so when the weather is good the wait experience isn't awful. Can't wait till i'm back again!

    Food, service, and ambience on point! I didn't know I would be walking away with a jar of ground Timmur chili peppers, but now it lives in my purse rent free.

    Paneer Ra Matar
    Brittney D.

    Cute spot, but I did find the food a bit lackluster :( The naan was good, but the roti super dense and had no outside crunch which I wasn't expecting. I would maybe avoid the Pork Belly Bhutuwa next time, as it was a bit basic and I didn't love the Lamb Chow Mein. The noodle texture is a bit crunchier and drier than what I'm used to so maybe that's personal preference. Their Paneer Ra Matar was my favorite, along with their chilli oil/flakes! Their service is also wonderful.

    Aiza C.

    Still amazing!! Amazing pumpkin curry and momo's were sooo good. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. Will come back again :)

Based on my recent order, everything was executed beautifully, from the rich curries to the fresh sides. ​The Stars of the Show ​Chicken Tikka Masala: This classic dish was a creamy revelation. The chicken was incredibly tender, and the sauce struck a perfect balance--rich and flavorful without being overly heavy or sweet. It's easily one of the best versions I've had in the city. ​Saag Curry Lamb: A true highlight! The lamb was cooked to perfection, falling apart with gentle pressure. The Saag (spinach) curry itself was deeply savory and earthy, seasoned masterfully to complement the meat. It had a wonderful, comforting depth of flavor. ​Sides & Bread Perfection ​Yellow Rice with Vegetables: This was a vibrant and flavorful accompaniment. The rice was perfectly cooked--fluffy and separate--and the inclusion of fresh, tender vegetables (carrots, peas, etc.) made it a substantive and refreshing side dish. ​Garlic Cheese Naan: Absolutely essential! The naan was warm, pillowy, and generously stuffed with melted cheese and fresh garlic. It wasn't greasy, and the balance of savory garlic and gooey cheese made it irresistible for dipping into the curry sauces. ​Overall Verdict ​Yarsa Napalese Cuisine delivers an exceptional dining experience. The ingredients taste fresh, the spices are complex and aromatic, and the preparation shows genuine care and expertise. If you're looking for fantastic Nepalese and Indian classics in San Francisco, look no further. This place is a gem! The service was great ! The waiter was very friendly and it was a nice vibe in.

I still have to give it to Seattle for having best Nepali Place so far when compared to SF, Vancouver and Seattle. On the othe hand - I really enjoyed their Mango Lassi - I wonder if they make it by themselves!
