"Hot fun in the Summertime" ---Sly and the Family Stone…read more I am a minimalist. Going to Costa Rica for a two weeks self retreat. Picked up a 22 hour countdown kitchen timer here to use as an alarm clock when I travel to unplug from my smart phone to go analog a bit like pen and paper turned to keyboard rhythm on my lap top for this review. Unfortunately no Yelp in Costa Rica so this is likely my last review until the cold San Franciscan June Summer time cometh. Coldest Winter I ever had was a Summer in San Francisco is what Mark Twain said. Forest Restaurant Supply rocks! They have it all and friendly staff so will give them three bonus stars for customer service. Thanks I will be back.

I could easily spend over an hour walking through all the aisles to check everything out. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for things for your kitchen or are nearby. Btw they are closed on Sundays.

This place, as the name implies, it's a restaurant supply company. They have an amazingly large…read moreselection of plates, bowls, and various types of cookware. We go here once or twice a year and shop for plates and bowls for our house. You can buy one or more of any style. The prices are excellent. The service is fast at the register. They wrap each dish in newspaper to keep it safe for your travels home. If you've never been here, I recommend checking it out. It's hard to imagine you wouldn't leave with a few things that you didn't know you needed. Lastly, it's worth noting that they are very consistent in their brands. So if you buy dishes and a few years later, need to replace one or two due to breakage or wear and tear overtime, they will likely still have the exact same item. This makes keeping your dishes, consistent as opposed to a mishmash of different types and styles.

This was my first time coming to this location and I had mixed but mostly positive impressions of…read morethe place. Place looked small on the outside, but once you walk inside, it's a completely different story. The space opens up vertically and feels massive with its tall ceilings and rows of bulk items that actually make a lot of sense for restaurants and businesses. Everything from supplies to most food categories was very well stocked, in date, and had solid variety. I was happy to pick up a bunch of high-heat, heavy-duty kitchen tools during the trip. If you're stocking a commercial kitchen, they definitely have a good selection of durable equipment, but limited. With that being said, I have been to other Restaurant Depot locations and the Miami, FL one will always be my favorite because they have a lot more higher end meat and seafood selections. I was hoping for more variety here, particularly in seafood and baked goods. The bread and pastry section was pretty bare, and I really wish they carried more seafood like uni and sushi-grade products to help elevate this location. Pricing is also a bit conflicting for me as well because some items, especially beverage, pantry goods, and produce didn't feel like a great deal compared to smaller local spots. However, it does make up for that by being a true one-stop shop where you can grab almost everything your business needs in one run. My biggest downside is the location. It's pretty inconvenient, and I had personally much rather see a Restaurant Depot closer to South San Francisco or in an area that feels safer and more accessible than Bayview-Hunters Point. Overall, place has a solid selection, well stocked, and very useful if you're running a restaurant business.

The first couple of times were just decent, though I did notice staff giving me odd looks. On my most recent trip, I came in with a bag of fruits and vegetables from another store. When I showed an older bald employee a photo of the item I was looking for, he pointed me to the section--only about 20-25 feet from the register. But before I could head over, he asked me to leave my bag at the front. I complied, but it felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. As I browsed, I couldn't help but notice that he kept his eyes glued to me the entire time, almost as if I was planning to steal a $3.98 strainer. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional. After later reading reviews from other shoppers, it seems this type of treatment isn't unusual here. Between the overpriced items and the poor customer experience, I've decided this will be my last visit. Hopefully management takes feedback like this seriously, because customers deserve to feel respected and trusted when they shop.
