    clam chowder
    Norases V.

    quick and friendly service, they are known for their sourdough so my go to is their clam chowder with sourdough bread bowl, you can ask your bread to be toasted. one of the tastiest options at SFO International Terminal A.

    French dip sandwich
    Nick C.

    Yeah look, not great at all. Got a French dip sandwich, and the sandwich was rather greasy, and the meat was rather dry. The dip came out at a boiling temperature in a plastic cup, almost as if it was straight out of the microwave. Luckily, I'd sat down to eat, but I'd hate to think what might happen if someone were to spill it on themselves.

    Sorry, I started eating the top of the bread bowl already.

    Craving some clam chowder for lunch since it was cold outside while flying out of SFO so we came in to get some. You can order at the counter or the kiosk. I found it easier at the kiosk so we did that. Then picked up the food. It was packed and busy, I guess everyone wanted lunch. The clam chowder was delicious. Creamy with large chunks of potatoes and clams. It comes with a bread bowl and it will fill you up. The sourdough bread bowl was delicious. I also got the turkey and avocado sandwich but did not get to eat because I was full from the clam chowder.

    Ambiance Very busy it is in Terminal A. Looks like u have to clean ur own table. Service N/A u order from kiosk and they call ur name when ready. Service Charge $1.83 what the hell. Sesame Ginger Salad This was an exceptional salad. Crisp lettuce and bell peppers. Chicken tasty. Loved the dressing just the right amount of sweetness. French Dip Deluxe It was just ok.

    "Did you want to just take a can and eat out of that?" Famous last words. Last Friday, me and my homie were still hungry after eating Gott's. I was on the phone with my Credit Union because it was declining my credit card from loading money onto my Suica account. If you are traveling to Japan, I highly recommend you don't wait to the last minute like I did. Get this squared away at least a day before you travel. Oh yea...you are here for food huh? I got you. Originally we went over to Boudin right after eating at Gott's. On the right hand side we saw a stack of cans which look like were on display to indicate you can probably buy a can to eat in the comfort of your home. That's why my friend originally made that joke in the beginning. The problem was mainly that the line was too long. We dipped. -Que Spongebob Narrator voice saying "One hour later..."- I'm on the phone with my credit union and my homie decides to make an executive decision and get a cup for us to snack on. I take one bite and it does not taste good at all. It literally tasted like they took the can, poured it in a bowl and microwaved it. Im over exaggerating but the flavor was very clammy. The Boudin that I know and love always had a creaminess to it, and this chowder did not have any creaminess whatsoever. Someone preparing it that day probably forgot to add the dairy. But sadly I couldn't finish it. After eating Gott's though, I wasn't too surprised. Airport food amirite?

    We were waiting in the airport for our flight. Looked around to see which restaurant we can eat at. My daughter wanted clam chowder in a bread bowl. She loved it. Location is in the airport and it's pretty busy. We sat next to a couple from France. It did seemed a little loud but it's expected when it's busy. It did seemed a little pricey but it was also in an airport so it was also expected!

    Really wanted them to prove the other reviews wrong because I love Boudin -- especially as someone who lived in SF for almost a decade. I got a breakfast sandwich around 10:15 a.m. and appreciated that they cooked it fresh -- it came out nice and hot and looked great. Unfortunately, the bread crust was a bit stale, which was really disappointing for Boudin. Day-old bread, I guess? The eggs and bacon were fine -- eggs were barely seasoned, but it still worked since the bacon was salty and the bread had good flavor overall.

    Normally this would be a 1-star, but it's Airport food and it's edible, so maybe it's a 3-star for them. If you are really hungry and just want to fill yourself up with something under $13, I guess you can order this clam chowder bowl. Everything is bad, from chowder to the bread. The bread stinks badly.

    I've been to this Boudin a few times before departing for my flight. I would pick up canned chowder and sourdough crisps to bring back home. They serve Peet's Coffee and there's a good selection of pastries which are reasonable priced. They don't have a toaster though so you can't get any of the pastries warmed. The coffee and pastry line is different from the line with the soups and sandwiches. For the soups and sandwiches, you order from the self service kiosk. I recommend giving yourself an extra 15 - 20 minutes if you do plan on picking up breakfast here before your morning flight. They get really busy and the wait time to order and make your drink(s) can be long. If you're not in a rush to get to the gate, you can hang out in there to enjoy your food. They have lots of seating available.

    It's really pricey they charged me like 6$ for just water since they are in airport they taking advantage of it.

    Clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl.
    Navin K.

    Not bad for an airport location. Stopped by for a bite before boarding my flight to Dubai yesterday, intending to order clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. I had high hopes because I'd enjoyed a sublime bowl of the same a few days before at a strip mall location in Walnut Creek. Alas, this was not the same five star experience. Ordering took a while because the self-order kiosks were not being kind, but the food came out within two minutes of placing my order. They served the sourdough bread bowl separately from the clam chowder, so I needed to combine the two. Which was not a problem, it just took away from the experience. The chowder was piping hot but tasted mediocre. The bread had the classic sourdough taste, but was too chewy and served cold. Mixed together, the meal was tolerable. Likely will try other locations next time.

    For the other options available at this airport, this food is a steal at the price. I have never had pizza with this good of a crust. The food is served in a plate--but it's an airport so oh well.

    Sesame chicken salad
    Hagar A.

    Quick service. Ordered the sesame chicken salad on the kiosk for $17. Bigger bowl than I thought airport food would be like and actually tasty too. The include a slice of bread with the salad. Lots of seating options too.

The smell of the fresh meats, bread, and sauces hits you as soon as you walk through the door. They specialize in huge custom sandwiches that can be around a foot and a half long. The meats are excellent, the ingredients are fresh, and they have a great selection of specialty sauces. You can get your sandwich hot or cold and customize it with options like prime rib, chicken breast, brisket, and more. These sandwiches are absolutely massive--almost impossible to finish in one sitting! What really surprised me is how reasonable the prices are considering how much food you get. You definitely get a lot for your money. They also have a selection of cold salads, including pasta salad, tuna salad, macaroni salad, and potato salad. Chips and drinks are available from the refrigerator near the beginning of the line. The staff does a great job keeping things moving, especially considering how busy this place gets. Every time I've been here, there has been a massive line, often stretching out the door, which says a lot about how popular Little Lucca is. There generally isn't much, if any, seating inside, so this is more of a grab-your-food-and-go kind of place. There is public parking available outside. If you're looking for a seriously big, delicious sandwich loaded with quality ingredients without spending a fortune, Little Lucca is definitely worth checking out.

They're a small but mighty little deli and churn out a ton of orders every day. I always order my sandwich on Dutch crunch. One sandwich is perfect to share between 2 people or for 2 meals. Their sauces are great and packed with flavor no matter which type of sandwich you order. I personally love the 2 meats special (you choose which 2) or the double beef (pastrami and corned beef). You can also order ahead if you're picking up 3+ sandwiches and skip the line.

My most recent visit for lunch on a Saturday was very busy! The line was out the door but they move fast and the food comes out even quicker. There are plenty of outdoor and indoor tables where you sit wherever you. There is self service water with and without lemon throughout the location. Pros: Quick and friendly service Tasty lobster rolls, lobster chowder, and crab sandwiches Con: Parking is VERY limited. They have a small lot in the back and you can park against their fence but over the weekend it's almost impossible. There is street parking but also a little hard if you want to park directly nearby. I parked about 1.5 blocks away on the next street parallel to the restaurant. The naked lobster roll is one of my favorites because you can really taste the meatiness of the lobster. You can tell it is fresh in every way with the buttery brioche bread. The tray comes loaded with chips and a side of Cole slaw. If you come with friends, I recommend getting a bowl of the lobster soup to share. Dipping the chips into the soup is chef's kiss! If you are a smaller party, you can always get the 1/2 lobster roll and cup of soup. But the better deal is to get the soup to share on the side since the lobster roll is $39 vs the 1/2 lobster roll and cup of soup is $37. If choosing between the which lobster roll to get, I opt for the naked roll because of the freshness and it is not as heavy. The dressed lobster roll has a good amount of flavor and pairs well with the bread, it's a little heavier because of the mayo and butter brioche bread. They don't use a ton of mayo in it so it's not as bad as you may think. I've had the twin tails in the past and I can definitely say it was very easy to get the lobster out. Sometimes some places make it more difficult and people don't want to really dig in with their hands. Safe to say it was very easy to eat. Over the years, I've seen the price go up with inflation unfortunately. So I definitely still come but as a little treat to myself or if I were to come celebrate a special occasion.

Seasoned fries were okay, but also tasted like they'd been sitting out vs being freshly fried. 3. The chicken tacos had huge pieces of chicken vs the cubes I was expecting. The flavor was surprising but not bad, almost like a mediterranean flavor rather than mexican. The tortillas they used tasted like they were sitting out and reheated as they seemed stale or dried out? Overall acceptable. 4. The fish taco was the most depressing thing. I subbed a corn tortilla and it was rock hard and cracked into pieces, so pretty inedible with the fish. I was expecting a soft corn tortilla. The piece of fish itself was tiny. I can't believe I paid $8 for this! I'd much rather go to California Fish Grill and have their fish taco which is decked out and only $5. Overall this would be a last choice if nothing else was open, since they close at 10pm.
