I really liked the Machico crispy chicken! It was enough to feed two people, in my opinion. It had just the right amount of crisp and I loved the kick of the calamansi and pickles. I was also a big fan of the calamansi mango juice - it was so refreshing! The service was nice and quick. We went after watching Hadestown, since the IKEA cafeteria was close by. It was about 4 PM on a Saturday. There's plenty of seating everywhere so it's good for big groups. We'll drop by again if I'm in the area. read more

Cute spot in the food court at IKEA! It's an interesting fusion of Asian food + American burger. I had the Crispy Mochiko Chicken and would recommend - I like the Filipino style, it's more flavorful than a typical burger. The Lumpia was tasty as well. Overall it's a good spot for a quick bite. I went on a Sunday afternoon and the food court was surprisingly deserted. read more

Calamari drink with mango 5 out of 5, but the sandwiches...well it's expensive and 3 stars average. Not our favorite. Homemade lumpia, 4 out of 5 stars. Good, but would like more meat and spices for flavor. So their sandwich was very fatty, and yes its had pork belly, but it was just like fatty meat and sauce. The egg was very underwhelming and the whole thing was very average. Like it tasted like any other breakfast sandwich. read more

They contain three essential ingredients to my heart: mochiko batter fried skin, chicken thighs (I think), and ancestral hospitality of the Philippines This ROCKED. My favorite type of fried chicken breading is that cornstarchy shell like Long John Silvers, but they achieve it with mochiko which is way better. My spicy profile myer Briggs identifies siracha/tobasco/tapatio similar to ketchup (not super spicy) and the tamarind chicken sandwich was similar heat. I am looking forward to the spicier one next go My buddy got the Manong chicken sando that I don't see on Google or DoorDash, but it had chicken and pork belly and holy s**t that sounds great. I tried alluding to him that I wanted a bite and he alluded back hard that he did not want to share read more

Izzy & Wooks - Tamarind Hot Chicken, lumpia, calamansi mango drink - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Izzy & Wooks just opened at Saluhall this week! I've been wanting to try them for a while.. since they were at the Metreon actually. And I got the opportunity this weekend. I got the tamarind hot mochiko chicken sando, and it was delicious! The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the breading was the perfect thickness and crispiness. I enjoyed the elote slaw, that also added a nice crunch. As far as flavor, it had pleasant tangy and citrusy notes from the tamarind oil, balanced by the acidity from the pickles. And the soft brioche bun tied it all together. The heat was mild as described on their menu. But I think I'm going to go for the scorpion next time. But if you can't tolerate heat at all, they do have their regular mochiko sando. I also got the mango calamansi cooler, and it was really refreshing and not too sweet. Service was friendly and I got my order quickly. I went here on a Saturday, so it was pretty quiet. There were a few groups of people meeting up either for work or to play RPGs. Izzy & Wooks is also at the Ferry Building Farmers Market. But check them out at Saluhall if you have the chance. read more

Izzy & Wooks - Tamarind Hot Chicken and a calamansi mango cooler - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Grand reopening was yesterday and I missed it because I was so tired. So today I'm in to try it! Got the bbq chicken bowl mango Calamansi drink and it was what I needed to replenish my energy. I got it with all rice vs the rice salad mix. It had some red cabbage and beets, also a little cauliflower. Beets is something I never had with my Filipino dishes and I liked it. Innovative. The mango calamansi was super refreshing I might get another cup. I liked the tender chicken. Warm, freshly cooked, you can tell it was just made! Seems like staff are still being trained yet they are really friendly and doing great! Currently no line as it's slow at 4pm, but I bet it was busy here yesterday with the live dj. I see myself coming here again as I really like the chill vibe here people on their laptops locked in their projects etc. I'll most likely get this bowl again or when they come out with the jackfruit bbq bowl. I believe I tried this spot in the past when it was downstairs. Happy to be back! read more

Izzy & Wooks - The Manong - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

A few days now on yelp, Izzy & Wooks had earned its kiosk spot that replaced the vegan Mexican cafe neighbor inside Saluhall. It's fine to have Filipino burgers let alone lumpias. Before this food company moved from Westfield, Izzy & Wooks still going strong. Their lumpias were just as good as the ones from Sarap Shop! The entirety of Westfield of Market St, including its concourse food court, was completely wiped off clean due to financial crisis. And it's also scary to see some other businesses closing down due to their lack of customers. So other than Izzy & Wooks during the grand ceremonial opening, there's also Smish Smash, Cheezy Pizza, and Curry Up Now. Let's not forget IKEA next door that always provides their national dish such as the Swedish Meatballs! The bottom line is that we must support small local businesses to keep them running with still enough customers after shopping hours. read more

The Inay's BBQ Chicken Bowl was pretty underwhelming. Chicken was dry and I didn't love the sauce (partially due to flavor, partially because it was too spicy for me). read more

My spontaneous goal of writing a review a day in January continues... #21 on Jan 21 2026 I got to try this new spot at Saluhall. I ended up getting the bbq chicken bowl, I was craving Filipino bbq. I enjoyed the veggies too! But I must say I prefer their lumpia over their bbq chicken. Once you've tasted Fil-Am, nothing else compares. This is no exception. I would come back for the lumpia tho! Always in the mood for that crispy fried snack. Between that and Curry Now on that floor, there isn't much... they even lost the Indonesian place? crayyyyy bc it was actually pretty good. This place needs more spots! Other than that, I think Izzy and Wooks is a great addition. The only competition is Smish Smash so I hope it sticks around longer than the others I've seen come and gone through the years. read more

My family and I tried out this place which was tucked away inside IKEA's SALUHALL. At first glance on their menu everything sounds nice and looked reasonably priced, but I have to say some stuff were not worth it. Like their french fries when they arrived for instance $4 for a singular tiny small plate (sadly not pictured, as I was a tad bit disappointed) it wasn't like it was fancy or topped with anything it was just plain regular french fries and it was way too crispy like overly fried and tooth chipping. My husband and daughter got the Crispy Mochiko Chicken which tasted good again french fries serving super small like feeding a small child portion. Chicken sandwich was eh good. I had the Inay's BBQ Chicken Bowl it came with some green sauce that wasn't flavorful for me. The bowl I think presentation wise was aesthetically pleasing to look at but and it was fresh ingredients, but flavor wise it was a bit lack luster. Like please don't be afraid to season a bit more just a tad bit not too much. Service was nothing to complain about staff was cool and friendly. Will I eat here again no. Over priced and food was eh ok to me. Nothing wow that would bring me back it is very instagrammable though. read more

Sandwich has delicious ingredients that are sadly minimal in portion and drowned out by the bread. We visited their pop up at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on a Saturday and ordered their Ultimate Bacon and Egg. Sandwich was large enough to split between two and well priced. The bacon was especially delicious but the sandwich did not look anything close to the massive sandwich advertised on their menu. I ended up removing one of the buns to try to make the most of the ingredients. Sandwich could easily be 5 stars if they bulked up on the star ingredients. read more

This is an unusual business name, somewhat reminding me of Star Wars. My curiosity was piqued when they first appeared at the Saturday Ferry farmer's market (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=DdCsoRkEgmfFflrBSZ1ImA) in early July but had lunch plans for the ensuing visits. A few weeks later, I made a point to stop and try their food. Walking up a little after 10 am, an auntie took my order after I asked her for recommendations. I ordered a couple items, paid, and left my name and cell # for them to call me when my order was ready. Since I was finishing my shopping, I started on one item about a half hour later, having this as my breakfast. I tried the Izzy Truff smash burger (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=3VPyl15poNsKPu5dBbip8Q), described by this sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=XyRM5Fm__cvenvyxBJwbEQ). When I bit in, a smile grew on my mouth, an obvious sign of approval. The mix of ingredients were perfect as all of the flavors were balanced. I usually like my burgers on the juicy side but this was delicious. Here is a side view of my burger (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=BEfk9xGHthZZ4b0Tw45M_A). Besides that, I got the shiitake & black garlic arroz caldo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=rUB2-O9Uiz4AiC_Od5ADKQ), described by this sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=7R0b-vfpZHlwRyoOFICFCw). Wanting to try it fresh, I tried a few spoonfuls as I had lunch at home a few hours later. Like the burger, the mix of ingredients made for a tasty hearty porridge, something akin to Chinese jook. The garlic was the dominant flavor as expected. I steamed the remaining portion the next day for lunch, a perfect pairing for me leftover cruller (fried Chinese bread) from that popular jook place in San Bruno from my Thursday lunch. There was shredded chicken for a texture change. I would get this again. The auntie was friendly and very nice in recommending my items. Looking forward to exploring other menu choices. Also learned that I can they have a brick and mortar a few blocks from my office in the Metreon on 4th Street. It's still more convenient for me to patronize the Ferry farmer's market since it's a lock on my weekly schedule. read more

Review was for their stall at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on a beautiful sunny Saturday. Solid 4 stars as it had a good flavor profile and was not messy as I was sometimes when ordering a Smash To-Go. 6 ounces of Ground Chuck and bone marrow was wrapped nicely and did not drip all over me when I was eating it. Will probably try their Filipino style fried chicken sandwiches of which one is posted as a spicy chicken. read more

Was expecting so much more than what I got. I was intrigued by a mango graham shake and their smash burgers with the grilled cheese skirt. But everything I got was a huge let down. The mango graham shake was icy, and the mango flavor wasn't the best and I didn't get any graham cracker taste as well. It was just oddly sour, which is strange since we're in mango season. The furikake fries tasted burnt and dry. And the burger was just a step above a Macdonald's cheeseburger. There was no crispy cheese skirt to speak of. Upon leaving I saw a mouse scurry away in the food court. Safe to say I won't need to revisit. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by here because he wanted to try their Filipino burger. This place is inside SF Central/ Westfield (for the OG's) food court. We got the Izzy Truff Smash Burger as well as an order of lumpia. We also decided to toast? the cheese. I found the burger to be too greasy unfortunately. I'm not sure what made it Filipino exactly, I'm assuming the banana ketchup but it honestly tasted just like a regular burger with some sweetness added. The lumpia was also just ok, nothing to write home about. I would probably not come back here for that particular burger but maybe open to trying whatever else they have on the menu. The food court was overall clean, a bit empty sadly since I remember how poppin' this place used to be :( read more

This place is the new restaurant since the owners moved out of the Sony Metreon a while back. Nice decorations and it was featured my eater. There's a kiosk for ordering on a touch screen. The wait was super long but worth it. I was starving the whole day, but had the most delicious chicken sandwich with tamarind flavored sauce (Tamarind hot chicken sando). Yum! The fried were so-so. I had to ask for ketchup which they gave just about enough. The staff asked to open the Jaritos orange drink, they should have opened the hand more, I tried to get and cut my hand on accident. Would have been good if they open it all the way or put it in a cup or not opened it at all. I would come here again to try other dishes. A bit pricey but worth supporting a Filipino American owned business, they just need to speed up the service a bit. read more

Izzy & wooks location changed to the food court inside the mall. With almost all the same selection you can't beat their unique asian American fusion flavors! I tried their new mango graham milkshake and was impressed with the sweetness and slight crunch the graham crackers added to the milkshake. I came on a weekend and service seemed fine! I would say it did feel a little longer to get your food however it's because they make it for you right then and there while most other traditional food stalls have it already to order. Plenty of seating in the mall. It's a self order tablets (2) and you can either scan your QR code and receive text message alerts when food is ready. read more

I've been here 2 times in 2-3 weeks. Each time I tried something new. We came here the first time specifically for the Truff Smash. I love smash burgers in general but I never had a Filipino influenced burger before. The use of banana ketchup for the grilled onions and calamansi to flavor the burger was so intriguing to me that I just had to give them a shot. The Filipino flavors I admittedly didn't notice AT FIRST, but once I took my time to really savor each bite I began realize the flavors were ever to subtly present. The calamansi added an interesting flavor profile that I honestly didn't expect to have such an impact. We also got an order of lumpia and the tuyo-mansi chicken. Those who didn't really do it for me. It was so delicious that I ended up coming back a week or 2 later with my cousin since we were in the city already. The second time around, however, I ordered the tamarind hot chicken. Now this is where they really dropped the ball. It's advertised as a spicy tamarind flavored chicken sandwich. It had ZERO heat and ZERO tamarind flavor. As for the cook itself, the chicken was relatively juicy and crunchy. We also ordered the longanisa poutine. Now that one I'm honestly not sure how I felt about it. The flavor was a tad dull and I would have hoped the fries would have been a little more crispy. On another note, i'm really disappointed that they had things on their menu that they don't actually serve yet. Namely their shakes, like how are you gonna have an Ube shake on the menu when you are nowhere near ready to actually serve it. So I would say from a service standpoint, that's one way they drop the ball. The interior is fairly clean and I enjoyed the pictures of the dogs and their logo . One thing I did notice, though was that they had a bunch of those super tiny flies, I hope they can find something they can use to keep them out or something. Combining both visits into one review, I would consider this a very high 3 or a low 4 on average. I think being that my focus for this place was the burger, I lean a little bit more towards giving them a 4/5. read more

Izzy & Wooks menu had me shook. As a guy who randomly has an appreciation for Filipino food, this got me really excited. On paper we're talking about a big time spot here. In reality it was still really good. I built up a lot hype in my head that was unfair. The smash burger was very good. You can get a crispy cheese crown on it. Like come on, I'm doing that. The Longanisa muffin was my favorite. Straight money. Chicken sandwich needed to kick up the flavor. Back to the drawing board on that one. Beignets were incredible. Fried dough with a bunch of cinnamon sugar and this awesome dipping sauce. That was obviously going to be good. The calmanansi juice needed more sugar for me. It was not busy when I was in there and it still took quite a while. They are just getting started I think. Once they get humming this could be a special place. The offerings are spectacular and I will be back. (4.3 Stars) read more

I believe this place recently moved locations to the mall. My boyfriend and I recently shared the Izzy Trust Smash Burger here and ordered it 'Manny's Way,' which came with an amazing cheese skirt that added a crispy, savory touch to the burger. The patty was juicy and packed with flavor, and the cheese skirt really made it feel like a unique experience. It's fantastic to see this local spot doing so well--there's a lot of pride in seeing flavors like this represented and thriving in the community! read more

One of THE best smashed burgers I've ever had! The meat was cooked to perfection and the condiments were so fresh. It took a while for the food to come out, likely a good sign that all food is made to order, but it would be nice if they were able to serve food a big faster. Definitely recommend Izzy & Wooks if you're in the San Francisco Emporium food court. read more

This place is so good! It was my second time coming here. Review is a bit late since I came here last month. Food does take a while to come out, but that's because everything feels like it is made fresh. My favorite thing to get is the Shiitake & Black Garlic Arroz Caldo with Chicken Skin added for a dollar. It's so good and the and the chicken skin with it is a must. I have also gotten their Mango Graham drink, and their Ube Cookie Butter drink and both are great! My mom got their Pork Sinigang Ramen and said it had really good flavor, and we're Filipino. I'm just not used to having it with noodles instead of rice. read more

Tried the place out with it being new - overall a decent pick for burgers in the area. Not the craziest prices ($13-14 for most burgers) and they have some interesting fries. Pretty cozy indoor seating for the area, but -1 star for me as I didn't taste the uniqueness of this being a Filipino inspired burger joint. It wasn't too different from other burger places, though the decent pricing in the area would lead me to come back They have $5 furikake fries on Friday which are pretty good! read more

Had a day in SF at the SFMOMA and noticed that Yerba Buena had a food court! So we went in to see what they had. We saw Izzy and Wooks on the list of restaurants and decided to try it out. One thing to mention that it's not exactly inside the food court. You actually have to wall outside and the entrance is on the outside. They have so many different food options! Burgers, sandwiches, sides, and bowls. We ordered the Adobo Portobello Mushroom Burger, the Izzy burger, Longalog Muffin, 4 piece lumpia, and fries. Izzy burger was just okay. I believe it was just a small smach burger. The portobello mushroom burger seemed like it was missing something. I feel like it was missing garlic aoli maybe? Longalog Muffin was good! I liked the sauce inside. Lumpia was also really good, I can tell it was fresh and not frozen. The fries were also really good! Our total was $47 and for the amount of food we got, I think that's a good price especially in SF! There were some other things I wanted to try but I was just too full haha read more

Izzy & Wooks - Izzy Truff Smash Burger - Burgers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Finally a new restaurant at the Metreon! Kinda like a burger & fries joint, with some Filipino touches. Love all the bulldog drawings, apparently of the co-owner Wooks. Can be slow at lunch, unless there's a conference nearby, then it's overrun! House-Made Lumpia: Definitely better than the frozen stuff at grocery stores (which some restaurants try to pass off as their own). You could tell this was made in-house since the skin was thin and flaky, not a dense shell. Nice meaty mince in the middle. Surprisingly light for a deep fried meat stick. Izzy Truff Smash Burger (Manny's Way): At this point I feel like I can't go back to non-smash burgers. Something so delicious and umami about all the crispy browned sides. And it's amazingly moist, despite the crisp. Liked the "Manny's Way" add-on of getting a crispy cheese round on top in addition to the melt cheese. So many great flavors. Very rich. Though perhaps a tad high in sodium, since I was quite thirsty in the next few hours after. Tamarind Hot Chicken Sandwich: Even though it's fried chicken, it feels lighter than the smash burger. Lots of crispy batter around some tender thigh meat. I was really feeling the sauce which has a mild chili tang and lots of great sour tamarind taste. Pairs nicely with the fluffy brioche slaw. Shiitake Italian Beef w/ Smoked Fresh Mozzarella: So I've never had an Italian Beef sandwich before, but I've heard so much about it. Was excited to finally give it a go. It was kinda like slow cooker beef, shredded and fall apart tender, with grilled peppers and pickled peppers. Their variant also has some squeaky shiitake mushroom slices in the mix. The meat and soft bun had a great texture, especially when dipping in the tiny sauce container. It felt like the bell peppers were a bit overwhelming though and the pickled spicier peppers were a bit skimpy. Though maybe that's just my preference. I also had some mozzarella added, but it wasn't a huge portion so I didn't notice it that much. Fries: Slightly spiced. Mildly crispy. It was fine, but the highlight was clearly the burger. Zesto Dalandan: It's exciting that they're importing sodas you don't normally find in the U.S.. This one seemed calamansi-adjacent, with a slightly different floral taste. Very refreshing against the rich burgers. read more

Wow, I was blown away by the burger here...so good! I had the Izzy Truff Smash, which was such a unique and clever burger. I ordered this with 3 patties and it had yummy cheese with a nice crust by purposefully crisping the cheese on the grill! The bone marrow and juicy beef made this so decadent! Every once in a while, you come across something unique and interesting and my experience with their burger was definitely that...I will be visiting again for sure! read more

Solid sandwiches but nothing mind blowing. We had the mochiko crispy chicken and a truffle smash burger. Sadly, neither tasted exceptionally different from a regular chicken sandwich or burger. The furikake fries were tasty, as was the popcorn chicken, but again not particularly mind blowing. Don't get us wrong, it's solid food - but it sounds like it's going to be a lot more exciting than it actually is. read more

A solid fried chicken sandwich but I wouldn't say it's hot or spicy at all. The flavors were really delicious though and if you take out the "hot" part, it's still a good sandwich.

My first time here and the food was real good! I think they messed up gave me an extra burger patty in my mini burger, loved the sweetness from the banana ketchup onions. Those lumpias were so crispy and delicious!! one of the best I've had. Not the fault of the restaurant, they tried kicking out a homeless person, then that guy tried coming to me to harass me while I was waiting for my food! But one big issue, the ink from their stamp on the burger wrapper started bleeding onto my burger bun and my hands! That's pretty gross, I don't want to eat ink!

I ran into this place by accident . Usually the Metreon has some okay places to eat but this is my new favorite place. I tried their Longanisa Poutine and let me tell you this Canadian/ Filipino dish was delicious. Having traveled to Canada over dozens of times for work and to visit friends and family , I make it my mission to try the various types of poutine in the different Canadian Provinces. I am considered by many Canadians an honorary Canuck. I must say the Longanisa Poutine is my great new find in San Francisco. The Izzy Truff Smash Burger was tasty. So if you want to break away from the regular food routine, go to Izzy & Wooks and try their Longanisa Poutine. read more

Previous owners of 3 Inay Filipino Kitchens, they opened Izzy & Wooks right outside of the Metreon with parking across the way at the Yurba Buena garage. Indoor seating only. Soft opening phase so not all items are available yet such as the specialty shakes that we're waiting for (approximately 2 more weeks). *~Our order 5/2/24~* Tamarind hot chicken: ($13.50) take on the Nashville Hot Chicken. Whole chicken thighs brined in soy and calamansi, twice-fried in mochiko batter and dipped in Tamarind Hot Oil- (inspired by sinigang soup). Served on a brioche bun, topped w/ red cabbage elote slaw, and pickles. Mochiko Crispy chicken: ($13.50) Chicken thighs brined in soy and calamansi, twice-fried in mochiko batter. Served on a brioche bun, w/ kimchee comeback and katsu sauces- topped with red cabbage elote slaw, and pickles. Longanisa shiitake poutine: ($13) battered fries topped with a house-made longanisa shiitake gravy, shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese, chopped shishito peppers and black sesame. Fries: $4.50 Crispy cauliflower: ($6.50) Battered, pickled cauliflower served w/ a side of Kimchee Comeback Sauce Lumpia: ($4.70) 4 pcs. *~Our order 4/25/24~* Adobo burger: $13.50 + combo (+$5) includes drink & fries. Two smashed 3 oz ground beef chuck and pork belly patties, marinated in house adobo sauce. Topped with one slice of white American cheese, adobo-sauteed mushroom medley, pickles, arugula. Served on a brioche bun Mini Izzy Truffle Smash: ($12.99) 1 6oz smashed house-ground Short Rib and Beef Chuck patty, w/ grilled banana ketchup onions on a brioche bun, topped w/ cheese (American/white), Izzy Sauce and pickles. Furikake fries: ($6.99) Seasoned with Japanese 7-Spice (togarashi) and Furikake, served with a side of Kimchee Comeback Sauce Note: there's a hefty paper bag charge of $0.30 for a medium sized bag. For to-go, they only have open top boxes with nothing covering so bring a sturdy bag if you want to bring your own The mochiko chicken sando was nice and crispy but didn't beat out how juicy their burgers are. My co-worker also said she preferred the smash burger she had the 1st time over the tamarind burger. I had the adobo burger and do wish there was more of the adobo flavor but it was a solid burger and was very satisfying. We were disappointed with how little seasoning there was for the furikake fries but I absolutely loved that they have such crispy battered fries. The longanisa poutine was a big disappointment as it didn't have any flavor with soggy fries. The fried cauliflower was interesting w/ the pickling and crispy but not as good as the fries. The co-workers I went with are both Filipino so of course the lumpia wasn't "as good as mom's" but it did have a nice crisp. I also thought the flavor was fairly muted. Manny (one of the owners) and later a female (maybe his wife?) stopped by while we were eating during our 1st visit and asked how we liked the food andif there was anything they could improve (which I appreciate that they're open to feedback). We did mention that the furikake fries barely had any seasoning so maybe that will improve. We will return to try the shakes once they're ready. Ube cookie butter shake and a Ghirardelli Champorado topped w/ a toasted marshmallow sounds so good. read more
