Came with my family to Greens for dinner, not really knowing what to expect since we're not…read morevegetarians ourselves. We wanted to try this institution to celebrate our grandma's birthday. We ordered a variety of dishes and were definitely full by the end of the meal. They don't really specialize in a specific cuisine, so it's an assortment of different types of food. Would recommend the fried cauliflower (my favorite of the night), the falafel platter, fresh conchiglie pasta (second favorite), grilled polenta, and the cauliflower fattoush. Solid dishes. Would definitely pass on the butternut squash pizza and hodo tofu brochettes. The bread basket was fine, the butter was a bit interesting with corn, miso, and honey flavors. Overall, the food was flavorful and some dishes were just better than others. Service was solid the entire night - the workers are very friendly. Inside is quite nice with wood furnishings and a good view looking out.

I stopped by Greens Restaurant for a late solo lunch. I'm not vegetarian myself but heard amazing…read morethings about the food here and you can't beat the nice views of the bay if you're lucky enough to sit by a window. I ended up ordering a mushroom rueben with pastrami spiced roasted maitake, sauerkraut, and gruyere. Loved everything about this sandwich from the crusty bread to the gooey cheese and super flavorful maitake which felt like a substantial protein substitute. It's served with a side of housemade chips. The rueben was large enough that I was full eating just half and got the rest to go. After finishing my meal, I also got an oat cappuccino for an afternoon pick me up and was happy to have a boost of caffeine. The espresso was surprisingly good for a restaurant coffee bar. Would definitely recommend for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I'll have to come back to try their dinner menu which seems more creative and unique!

The sesame balls were definitely the highlight for me. Overall the food is good. I really needed a…read morevegetarian restaurant around me and was lucky to find this out. I thought the green tea was complementary as it was just in the table but I was wrong. I was charged for that. So felt a bit misleaded there.

We recently visited Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant in Chinatown San Francisco after not coming back…read morefor over 10 years, and unfortunately the experience reminded us exactly why we stopped coming. We understand Chinatown restaurants may not always provide "fine dining" service, and honestly we were not expecting that. But the attitude from the short-haired lady server was extremely unpleasant. While we were still ordering, she already looked impatient and annoyed. We had two elderly people with us, so yes, we needed a little more time to order, but the restaurant was not even busy. What made the experience worse was that the staff were loudly chatting back and forth in Cantonese the entire time using rude language and gossiping nonstop. Customers come to enjoy a meal peacefully, not sit there listening to staff complain and bitch about things across the restaurant. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable, unprofessional, and stressful the entire meal. After this visit, we definitely will not return to the Chinatown location again.

The vegan food has been consistently good over the 17+ years I've been coming, for the most part…read more Recently, I brought my vegan aunt and uncle here while they were in town. We asked if we could get some char siu bao, but they didn't have any fresh ones. So they went back in the kitchen and nuked one, and brought it out where it turned out very dry. My uncle also noticed that the person at the counter was wearing gloves, but was handling both cash and food with the same gloves. SMH.

It's probably been about 20 years since I last came here. It still looks almost the same and the…read morefood is just as delicious! My favorites are deep fried crispy taro rolls and any noodle dish with soft tofu and veggies. The gluten puffs are always a great snack as are the sushi rolls. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Although the restaurant is small and old, it is clean and comfy. Lucky Creation is less than block away from the Chinatown subway station. I wish I lived closer or they closed later so I could come more often.

So our relationship is 50% vegetarian and it was the other half's birthday so after seeing an Insta…read moreabout the mushroom, I said "heck yeah". Bought my tix online and waited for the day to arrive. I included the offspring and +1 for the event. Got there early and found parking basically in front, a miracle in SF. Doors opened at 5:02 and we were greeted by the chef and staff all dressed in green like the Jolly Giant of commercial fame. The tables were decorated with flowers sprouting from funny shaped radish and turnip "pots". Did I mention that the dinners have been called whimsical......... So it begins. We got two juice pairings and two alcohol pairings and both were really interesting. The local Chardonnay on lees and the martini were winners in the alcohol category whereas celery ginger kombucha and citrus drink were rulers of the nonalcoholic category. Some refills were provided, yeah! First course - Miso celeriac soup with foraged herbs, walnut dill bread with kumquat jelly and chive butter. Rich and tasty soup with great bread though two smaller pieces would have been better than one large to enjoy the spreads. Second course - Lacto-fermented beets, roasted carrot, little jellies with spicy carrot salad and hummus. Everything was unique with interesting flavors and consistencies. Loved the little jellies made with agar and the carrot salad, Wow! Third course - Mushroom and beet pub pie over purple cauliflower béchamel. Amazingly flaky vegan puff pastry, don't know how they did that without butter. Filling was earthy and savory complemented well by the béchamel. Dessert - a selection of citrus based seasonal treats including chocolate, little cake balls, candied kumquats and aquafaba. Not just great for being vegan but actually a triumph. First time trying aquafaba and it really tasted like a light, neutral whipped cream. Big fan of the candied kumquats too. They even stuck a candle in the birthday girl's bowl and led the obligatory serenade. Overall a fun experience that reflects Alex Lauritzen's passion for vegetable based cuisine, taking it fully to the fine dining level but doing it with joy and whimsy. Staff and service were attentive. This was the eighth mushroom with dinners occurring once a month. They may also do pop up a La carte service but I'm not sure. Check the Insta @the mushroomsf for deets. We left pleasantly full so no post-Michelin pizza

I moved to the area a year ago and bookmarked Savor to try, as I'm a vegan. I don't know why it…read moretook so long to come here, but I'm glad I finally did, and I definitely will come back! Savor is an all-vegetarian, but mostly vegan, Yemeni restaurant. Everything is either vegan or is labeled as a 'vegan option' if there is dairy. , Here's what I tried: -Split pea soup: comes with every order (at least during lunch). I love a good split pea soup, and they're hard to find vegan out in the wild, so I really enjoyed this. -Artichoke Shawarma: Artichoke is soft but meaty. Hummus tastes fresh and homemade. Lots of flavor and zestiness throughout! -Mujadara: Forbidden rice and lentils topped with tofu, veggies, and tahini sauce. They use Hodo tofu, which is a great quality tofu. The rice is so soft and has a great texture to bite into. It's a mix of hot ingredients and cold ingredients, making this an adventurous plate for your taste buds! -Wild mushroom knafeh: My favorite dish I tried! Savory mushrooms with the sweet cream and crunchy top. I honestly didn't know what I was eating, but I could not stop until it was gone! -Dessert was recommended to us by the owner - a sweet coconut cream pastry. Again, I wasn't too sure what I was eating, but this dessert was a delectable bite from beginning to end. We really enjoyed our time and thank Mo for the wonderful recommendations, service, and above all, the delicious food! We will be back!

Third review. 1. The…read morevegan pasta is comforting, rich with just a touch of heat. I absolutely love it. 2. The eggs...mushy and very sweet squash in eggs next to boiled potatoes? Ketchup with a dash of curry? Salad dressing so light you can't even tell it's present? I love eggs and this could have been one of the favorites. It was not a satisfying meal at all. 3. Chimichurri Burger- the combination of grilled onions, peppers, crunchy potato sticks is a truly amazing and creative combo. The bun? Several days old, dry - it tasted dry, dense and stale. Instead of absorbing the sauces and bringing everything together it did the very opposite. I was going to try their French toast and decided to make it at home instead - fresh challah or brioche with vanilla bean, cinnamon, pinch of salt and splash of heavy cream mixed in with eggs + maple syrup and fresh berries. It will take more effort than just ordering it at a restaurant but I'm not taking anymore risks.

Magnificently packed. Cheerful to look at as well as to eat…read more I like getting food just for myself here. The Awake salad and their muhammara both excellent. Working my way through the menu... You can see from the factory-line production how well loved they are by groups, but at scale that somehow makes the presentation seem more mundane. Nicer to think it was prepared just for you. They also have a fine selection of partner kitchens whose food they offer (soupchu!).

I still love their salads, although I am bummed that they replaced the pickled apricots with the…read morecheaper pickled golden raisins instead. It makes a noticeable difference in the Awake or Vibrant salads. They've also introduced new, non-salad items to their menu: -Beef Bolognese: Flavorful, great portion, good texture. -Chicken Bone Broth Soup: Tasty 16 oz portion, but I was expecting a lot more filling inside. There was very little actual chicken and vegetables in this. It was mostly broth. The items are always well wrapped for takeout, though their brown bag doesn't have handles, so you should bring your own to drop the paper bag into. Also note that they charge extra for utensils.

We ordered a bunch of fried things and enjoyed it all. Very flavorful and well executed. The friends did not recomend the actual jalebis, but I insisted on ordering one because of the name and really liked it.

We were excited to try this restaurant, but unfortunately the experience at the front desk…read morecompletely ruined it for us. The check-in process was extremely confusing, there were no clear signs indicating where dine-in guests should wait or check in. We stood in what looked like the line, only to realize later that other parties had somehow gone ahead of us and were seated first. When we tried to clarify things with the host, instead of helping, he was very rude and dismissive. He abruptly said something along the lines of, "There's only one line, can you make it quick? What's your party size?" He wasn't listening to us at all and made no effort to acknowledge how chaotic and unclear the system was. The interaction felt hostile and unwelcoming. We ended up leaving immediately because the entire experience felt unpleasant before we even got seated. For a restaurant in San Francisco, especially one representing Indian hospitality, I really expect a more organized and respectful front-of-house experience. Clear signage, a proper check-in system, and basic courtesy from hosts would go a long way.

We saw outside and it was thankfully not cold in the parklet, it definitely blocked all the wind and I felt nice and cozy. Everything was pretty affordable and delicious. We shared the mushroom soup and they split it for us into two bowls. It was delicious, not heavy, and the lemon complimented it nicely. It was very warming and tasty. We also got the meatball wrap, which was quite big and tasty, and came with some super crispy potatoes. It also came with some tzatziki which was great. Lastly, we shared the sunrise combo. The eggs and the pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet, went well with the yogurt and blueberries. Overall, everything was great and pretty good in price.

Our friends ordered the Turkish breakfast, menemen, turlu omelet, and the sunrise combo, and everything looked so yum. We also ordered a few Turkish teas.
