Spicy lemongrass chicken with ginger rice
Connie C.

Lunette has been my hearty quick dinner choice before heading over to Punchline. The restaurant got the street vendor vibe inside the bougie Ferry Building. Seats and tables are first come, first serve. You order at the counter and place the tag on the table for them to deliver the food. So far I haven't had issues on finding a spot to sit for ordering beforehand. I expect weekends and weekday lunches to be more of an issue than a Friday night quick dinner. There aren't too many items on their menu, got the noodles and the rice dishes, with some appetizers if you need a little extra. I've tried their pork noodle soup and their spicy lemongrass chicken. Both have been very flavorful and filling. I do want to note that unless you finish the soup too, you may be left a bit hungry since it's not too heavy on the protein. The broth is quite clean, so it's not like you're just downing MSG. The lemongrass chicken does have a kick to it, but I wouldn't say it's true Southeast Asian level of spice, it's tolerable for the general public. They can do it without chilis if spice is really not your thing. The sauce becomes a bit too rich for me, where I feel like I needed more rice to finish the entree. There are still a few more items on their menu I'd love to try before returning to some of the dishes I've tried. Their pin noodle, pork belly dish, and their fried chicken fried rice dish. I think for those who are not familiar with Cambodian foods, the flavors are similar to Thai food, but more subtle like a dish on low simmer for hours. I find it less tangy and more hearty. Definitely coming back here to try more things!

A lot of hype around this place and there's a small line up during weekday lunch. I got the pork soup noodle which comes with pork 3 ways - minced, deep fried pork belly which soggified in the soup, and thin slices of pork which were very tender. The soup itself was kind bland for an 8 hour pork broth. Shrimps were big and bouncy.

Been wanting to try this Cambodian spot in the Ferry Building. Came for weekday lunch. Very busy but was lucky enough to snag a seat. Self seating. Order at the counter for dine in and they'll give you a number and bring food out to you. Dry Noodle - rice noodle, shrimp, pork three ways, crispy garlic, cilantro, scallions, sweet soy dressing - Originally wanted to the soup but it was so hot out. This dry noodle was a great way to still try it because broth came on the side as a small bowl. SO much flavor. Citrusy, savory, aromatic, umami Dining here almost feels like a street food dining experience. It's casual, unpretentious, and delicious.

Salt pepper Beef
Tiffany H.

Was passing through the area and needed to grab something to go. Their restaurant was full, so they were only doing takeout orders for everyone. Lunchtime on the weekends can get extremely busy. I got the salt and pepper beef, which was an OK amount for the price. I was expecting a little bit more beef, though. I really like the pea shoots. The flavor of the beef was good and tender. Service was friendly, but food did take 20-30 min, though the line to order was short.

I've been dying to eat at Lunette for a long time and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. On a Sunday around 1 pm, it was really busy and I ordered the following: +KTTP dry noodle (Rice noodles, shrimp, pork three ways, crispy garlic, cilantro, and scallions in a sweet soy dressing - $21): this noodle was very good. I loved the crispy pork and garlic and the flavor was well balanced. It also came with a broth and I loved dipping the noodles into this. +Cha Kroueng/Spicy Lemon Grass chicken) - Spicy lemon grass chicken with chiles, yard long beans, and basil served with ginger rice - $21): this dish packed a punch yet it was super flavorful. I thought ginger rice was also good and I wouldn't have minded even more chiles. Overall, I loved the food here but think the price point is a little high. I also thought the service was kind of rude, but it was pretty busy. They also made us get to go because there were no tables left but we ended up finding a table and switching to for here. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

pin noodles

located inside the ferry building! order at the counter and then find a seat. we got the vegetarian lort cha and wowww the wok hei was so flavorful! good portion too. definitely hit the spot and would come back to try some of their other dishes!

Bai Cha Fried Chicken 'n Rice
Al L.

The place is always bustling and its dining area is full every time I passed through the Ferry Building. There's been so much talk about the place that I've been waiting for the opportunity to try it especially when a friend gave us a gift card. We decided to check it out for dinner on a Friday and got there at 6:30 and placed our orders. The cashier asked if it was for here or to go. We said for here and she said to find a table, place the number down and the food will be brought out. The dining room and bar table was full, but a couple left within two minutes and we snagged the table. Luckily, we sat because in about another two minutes, the first order arrived and the second followed in three minutes. Napkins, utensils and condiments on the table and self-service water at the counter. K.T.T.P. Pork Noodle Soup - Good portion of thin rice noodles were al dente and had a nice chew to them. There were pork-three ways, slices, minced and smaller pieces and two perfectly cooked tail-on shrimp. The 8-hour pork broth and scallions, cilantro and crispy garlic. Very tasty bowl of noodle soup. I felt that every spoonful of broth had some minced pork in it. Very satisfying bowl of soup. Bai Cha Fried Chicken 'n Rice - generous portion of a lightly battered friend chicken cutlet on top of a fragrant ginger rice with a savory smoked garlic-chili dipping sauce with pickled vegetable, a side bowl of pork broth. The chicken was very moist and dipping sauce went well with it. We were ready to bring our tray of dishes to the station, but a worker walked up and took the tray and wiped the table. Food was tasty. My concern after ordering was finding a table, which we were fortunate to find one. But what would happen if we didn't find a table and our food came out. Stand and eat? Glad we didn't have to find out. 4.5 stars, after 1/2 stars off for the seating uncertainly.

I've been waiting and was sooooooo excited to try out Lunette and the hype especially with the chef being on Netflix and seeing the restaurant in person! My experience was just... OK. Nestled inside the ferry building, you'll line up right around the corner by either ordering with the cashier and being assigned either takeout or table seating (you can still get a table if you get takeout, seats are first come first serve). Cashier is very nice but others are kind of scarey. Portions could be way better for takeout as there was a stark contrast between our table neighbors same meal for dine in. Overall finding Cambodian food is near a rare gem to stumble upon but this concept being in the ferry building doesn't help unleash its full potential.

spicy lemongrass chicken
Cher H.

flavor is amazing but the wait is a hassle okay the vibe of the restaurant is really cute it was jam packed so i knew it was a good spot to try but will i do it on my lunch again immediately no i would more than likely sit down and eat next time my friend and i came here for 2 of the spicy lemongrass chicken and a soursop juice for $50 and the wait time was about 25 mins for the take out 4 star tho cus of the wait update: i love the flavors but def would do less salt next time cus boy was i thirsty afterwards

K.T.P.P. Dry Noodle
Faith C.

LOVED the dry noodle. Both the noodles and side broth were extremely flavorful and delicious. I loved the sweet soy flavor that was mixed into the noodles and meat. The Fried Chicken n' Rice was just okay. The fry was good and the rice was quite flavorful, but I didn't think it was anything particularly special. Very tight and crowded interior. Super friendly staff. Food comes out decently quickly after ordering, if you factor in waiting for a table first. Would defo return to try other things or even just to get the dry noodle again (':

Pork noodle soup
Chelsea N.

Waited about 20 minutes on Saturday during lunch, seating is pretty limited! Got the pork noodle soup (9/10)! The broth was clear and savory, with a touch of sweetness. I liked that the ground pork and fried pork bits added some textural diversity to the noodles. The shrimp were big and bouncy! Would recommend adding some garlic crisp to the soup to enhance the flavor!

Dry noodles
Sandra N.

Among all the long lines in the Ferry Building, Lunette's long line is one of them that never seems to ends even during off peak hours. The menu offers appetizers to share, dry noodles, noodle soup, and rice dishes. Seating is limited especially during peak hours. The workers are friendly and try their best to find you a spot after you've ordered. The dry noodles is a generous portion of saucy rice noodles layered in with ground meat, bean sprouts and aromatics like garlic and cilantro. The shrimp was okay, didn't taste super fresh or anything, and had a bit of that fishy taste. The soup on the side was extremely salty and tasted like MSG. I prefer my soup to be lighter with a cleaner taste, just a preference. The noodle texture was great with lots of flavor when thoroughly mixed together. I love the small bits of pork rinds- i wish there was more of it! Fried chicken appetizer - crispy batter with a juicy interior. This is great for sharing among a group of friends. Lunette offers some delicious Cambodian noodles in the Ferry Building, where its already pretty hard to find Cambodian food in SF in general. Expect a little bit of a line if you do go on a weekend.

Curry

Lots of things to do in the Ferry Building. This curry was so good, there are small pieces of tofu in it and not sure how but they're able to keep it crispy and it's soooo good. This plate is the reason why I like tofu now.

I advise coming before they open as my friend and I came 15 minutes before they opened on a random Wednesday and there were already 5 others ahead of us. If you miss the first seating, you'll have to wait 45 min until someone finishes and leaves. We decided to share one cold soba with shrimp tempura and veggies in addition to the spicy dipping broth. It was delicious!! If you aren't a big eater, one order is definitely enough to share. The soba portion is quite generous. The tempura is made-to-order and really crunchy. I'm excited to come back and try their scallop kakiage. The spicy broth was really good with a hint of yuzu so if you like spicy food, I'd recommend adding that as a side item. It's a "cozy" restaurant so you might be sharing a table with another party. I'd come solo or even at most with one other person to have the best opportunity to sit each other.

Back in December 2018, I passed by and caught a whiff of something pleasant. There was a remarkably…read morelong line, but I decided to get in it thinking I could order quick, chow down, and be on my way. Alas! it was not to be, as I had to meet up with my group, and the line only moved in smidges. The intervening years visiting SF didn't provide me with any opportune moments to stop by. That is, until one Saturday evening August 2026 while I was walking around and by chance happened upon the same lovely scent. Although it was a few minutes before 11pm, the line to get in was closed off. Tomorrow was my last night in SF, so I made it my primary objective to dine here. Well, Sunday I was at the Chase Center till about 9:20pm where the Muni line was packed and going nowhere fast. In the spur of the moment, I ran all the way from Chase Center to Lower Nob Hill, a 2.3-mile journey, yielding to red lights and Pokémon fans. Exhausted, it was a couple minutes past 10pm when I arrived. Lo and behold, the line had not closed yet. Ordered their Signature Toripaitan ramen and was very pleased that it was ready in about two minutes. I'm not afraid to admit I literally vacuumed the contents of that bowl. Sure I was sweaty and famished, but the combination of chashu, menma, burdock root, ajitama egg, chicken broth, and every other element checked all my proverbial boxes. The waitstaff who took my order was likely aghast that I ate so violently, though she was professional and responded energetically when I showered her with thanks and praise for the meal. I also ordered a mazemen to-go for the next day's lunch, and that was a real treat. Recently, I learned that there is a location in Culver City. Heck, why wait another 8 years?

The enoki mushrooms were great, with a spicy, savory flavor and a really crispy texture. They soak up quite a bit of oil, as expected, but that also helps them absorb all the flavor. The broth was incredibly rich, almost foamy and frothy. The noodles were interesting too, super chewy with a really satisfying bite. I also liked the king oyster mushrooms. I kept thinking I was about to bite into bamboo shoots, but the flavor and texture was a pleasant surprise. The crispy root vegetable on top was a nice addition as well, adding a different texture to round everything out.

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
