I don't even remember what else we ordered, but they gave us a plate of grilled broccoli on the house. It was delicious: smokey, flavorful, crunchy. It was fun to watch them grill it over the flame. We got a salad, a chicken, and a beef dish. They were great. I'd come back again. read more

Had a great time dining here on a weekday for a team dinner around 7 pm! It's a corner spot that's well known in SF that can be packed and busy. They have two floors; the first floor is where the bar is! We were brought up to the second floor for our table of 7 pm. We were sat next to the kitchen, so we all complained by how hot it was getting over the course of the night. The service was quick, easy, and professional. We got several appetizers from salads, falafels, goat cheese and bread, and pizza. I personally got their pork chop! It was delicious, tender and had a great BBQ sauce on the side. I also got an extra order of brocolli for some veggies. Wonderful dining experience despite the heat from the kitchen. read more

5/31/26 update: they have a duck prosciutto on the menu right now that's one of my fav dishes. The salty fat duck prosciutto pairs perfectly with the blackberry vinaigrette on a well oiled toast. YUM!! -- Nopa is perfect. Anyone who says otherwise? A liar! (Okay, maybe not, but seriously, this place is that good.) If you can't snag a reservation, don't worry. Try your luck at the bar or the communal table. The vibe is effortlessly charming, making it perfect for date night or even just treating yourself. I've never had a single bad dish here. Quite the opposite...so many dishes have completely floored me. The cheeseburger? Always amazing. The pork chop? Pure magic. I almost cried eating the tagliatelle. And the smoked trout latkes? I don't even like smoked fish, but those latkes? Life-changing. Honestly, I could sit here and name every dish on the menu because they're all worth raving about. I keep coming back to Nopa, and every time, it reminds me why it's one of the best restaurants in SF. read more

I've had Nopa on my list of SF restaurants to try for a while now and was excited to come for a random Monday dinner. We ordered family style between 4 people and share the duck rillette, stracciatella with apricots and pecans, mushroom flatbread, fried chicken, and roasted cauliflower. The highlight of the night were the duck rillette, served with crusty thick sourdough bread, a delicious kumquat marmalade and fresh mulberries. It's mulberry season right now and I had just gone mulberry picking the past weekend so it was fun to see them on the plate. I also enjoyed the fried chicken with chili honey which was great for sharing and a large portion! I didn't get much Moroccan spices in the chicken but it was battered and fried well. The mushroom flatbread did fall flat for us as it was pretty dry and needed something else to give it more flavor. I also got the seven sisters cocktail with tequila, vermouth and green chartreuse which was great and a good choice if you want something more spirit-forward. Overall worth a visit for classic Californian cuisine. They specialize in farm to table which you can really see with the seasonal, ever-changing menu. read more

Salmon crudo - 5/5 this dish was so delicious. It was a perfect medley of flavors Bread and butter - 3/5 was good but I'm not sure if it's truly worth the price Duck mousse with strawberry jam - 3/5 duck mousse doesn't have a strong flavor, strawberry jam was overpowering Burger - 2/5 the patty when pressed had juice flowing down but then was dry?? I strongly desired a salad. The fries also like some other reviews did give in n out vibes -- just potato. The waitress was nice. The main problem though is that they really rushed me to finish the appetizer because the main was coming out. 3 people tried to take away the dishes I was still eating to serve the main. I really unappreciated being rushed. read more

Super cute spot to eat for dinner with an indoor (super spacious!) With an upstairs even! And outdoor seating as well. Made a reservation through Open Table and was really grateful that even though we had to add one more to our reservation a bit late, they were able to accommodate us. I was so surprised to see the place getting full by 5:30pm and within minutes, the place was packed! The vibes were lively, but tame, and is a great spot for a date or a meet up with a group of friends. On the menu - you'll want to try the beans. Apparently while the menu changes daily based on what is freshly purchased and available (so cool!!!), the beans have remained a staple! Definitely try! I appreciated the non-alcoholic spirit options and the desserts too! Word to the wise tho - desserts are difficult to share, mostly because you're going to need to dip your spoon in a few times. It's not easily divisible, if you will! The desserts were okay. A bit pricey for what we got, but if you want a sweet treat, it's a good way to go! read more

After hearing so much about the burgers at Nopa, I finally got around to trying the out, and I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the burgers are solid. But for $30, I would have expected a more flavorful party, or a more interesting sauce... Really anything that would have made the dish more memorable. The fried chicken was also good but not mind blowingly amazing. The service was great though, as was the upscale ambience with its demure hipster vibe. read more

It was nice to come here to catch up with friends. The food was pretty good, some dishes better than others. The staff is nice. They have a coat/ bag check. The space is airy and inviting. The warm olives were very good. They melted in my mouth and the bread was delicious. The steak was too chewy and spicy for me. The lettuces salad was also very good, crunchy lettuce and I liked the dressing. My favorite dessert was the chocolate malt ice cream, so unique and actually tastes malted! The cookies were good too and I'm glad we got both so can eat them together. Overall nice place, a little pricey but would come back again for a special occasion read more

Nopa needs no introduction at this point and fully lives up to its reputation as a true San Francisco institution. The room is always bustling with a great energy, and I really appreciate that they deliberately hold some spots, whether at the bar or at the communal table, for walk ins so it still feels accessible even without a reservation. Staff are consistently super friendly, and their food and beverage menu is pound for pound one of the best in the city. Sharing is absolutely the way to do Nopa. Splitting plates with a group lets you build that perfect bite from a little bit of everything, and there are several dishes I consider must orders. The Bread and Butter is a staple, especially with Josey Baker bread (IYKYK). The duck liver mousse is another favorite, always incredibly creamy and rich, with accoutrements that change seasonally but always pair beautifully with their charred, crusty bread and whatever compote is in season (was huckleberry on my most recent visit!). Do not sleep on the grilled broccoli either. It sounds deceptively simple, but the combination of lemon, anchovy, and breadcrumbs makes it ridiculously addicting and one of those plates you find yourself going back to over and over in between bites. And of course, their much acclaimed cheeseburger more than deserves the hype, standing easily among the very best burgers in the city with its perfect balance of a hefty but juicy patty, melty cheese (Gruyere FTW!), a beautifully toasted bun and a full spread of toppings like their pickled onions as well as their horseradish sauce that ties everything together. For larger plates, it depends a bit on group size and how hungry everyone is, but my go-to's include the pork chop and Yaya's Fried Chicken. The pork chop is hearty and cooked perfectly so it is still super juicy, with deeply flavorful braised greens and a fruit mostarda-like accompaniment that really makes the whole dish sing. Yaya's Fried Chicken is brined and fried to perfection, with a shatteringly crisp crust, super moist meat, and Moroccan spices in the batter that really amp up the flavors overall. All in all, Nopa is one of the absolute best the city has to offer and a must visit for both tourists and locals alike. It is the kind of place that makes you excited to eat out in San Francisco and one I will keep recommending over and over. read more

Gosh I really wanted to live this place. A better mocktail than the two boozy drinks my friends ordered. And a very cozy, social atmosphere. Every other table felt like they were in a picture having a lovely evening as friends. Food was more of a miss. The biggest let down was the steak which came out cold. They offered to reheat it or get us something else on the menu. The fried chicken we got to replace it was good but I wouldn't order fried chicken here again. I want to try again! For being a veggie-forward menu, there is still promise just not tonight. read more

If you're looking for protein but make it fancy, this is the place to be. This is a lively spot on Divisadero, even on Monday evenings the restaurant is full of people enjoying a delicious meal. We tried a handful of items, and they were all spectacular but the only twist is the menu changes everyday so it will keep you wanting more. Be sure to ask your server for some advice because they know what's best. The portions are quite large, try to leave room for dessert as the pastry chef is showing off all her skills. The only feedback I have is the restaurant is incredibly loud. Listening to tech bros while having a romantic dinner is not always the mood. read more

What an amazing experience for my birthday. My friend made dinner reservations for us here, and it ended up being an absolute delight from start to finish. I enjoyed every second and every bite. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance of warm, fun, and luxurious all at once. A wine concierge came to our table to help us indecisive folks choose a bottle, and we ended up trying something none of us had ever had before--orange wine. From there, we ordered the bread and butter and the lettuces. Since there were three of us, they kindly adjusted the bread order so everyone got their own portion. For our mains, we each ordered something different so we could share, and wow... everything was incredible. Their menu rotates daily and is printed fresh, plus they offer additional off menu specials. That night's special was a roasted half chicken--perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. We also ordered the pork chop and the steak. The portions were generous, and every bite was worth savoring. The steak was beautifully tender and savory, and the pork chop was the thickest I've ever seen, cooked to absolute perfection. Nothing disappointed. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée topped with guava jellies and fresh fruit--a fantastic finish. They even surprised me with a birthday candle on a scoop of ice cream, so I got to make a birthday wish. It was such a thoughtful touch. What an unforgettable dinner. I highly recommend coming here and experiencing this restaurant for yourself. read more

We had such a great dinner at Nopa on Divisadero. The food was full of flavor, everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully prepared. I ordered the huckleberry mocktail and loved it it was balanced and really refreshing. My friend tried the carrot mocktail, but unfortunately she didn't enjoy it and only took a sip or two. The service was extremely attentive. Someone was consistently stopping by to check in on us and refill our water, and we felt very cared for the entire time. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, whether you're sitting indoors or outdoors it has that warm, inviting neighborhood feel. We were so stuffed by the end that we couldn't even look at a dessert menu! Overall, such a wonderful experience and definitely worth coming back. read more

Excited to read that Yaya's chicken was supposed to have Moroccan spices but sadly it did not show. The chicken was well brined, though. The portion of porchetta was generous but the pairing w the tapenade was not interesting. read more

Our group of 3 showed up for our reservation at 5:45pm on a Saturday, and were promptly seated. The space is pretty dimly lit and intimate, and most of the seating seemed pretty comfortable and spacious, though our table was located in a a corner that was a little more cramped. Service was friendly and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything new and pour us water. We got the dungeness crab, pork belly, brocolli, and flatbread to share - everything was good but not too special or unique, and strangely the presentation seemed to be aiming for upscale but came out looking more haphazard, and the crab did have some tiny bits of shell mixed inside. For the price, the serving sizes seemed smaller than you would expect. The Maize Runner cocktail I got however, was really tasty (and also strong), but the combination of the pear, corn and sesame was really unique and fun. Overall, Nopa has a nice ambiance, and on paper, really interesting dishes - though the execution seemed to miss the mark for us. I typically prefer sharing multiple small dishes over getting a large dish each, but looking at the other reviews, it seems maybe the large dishes might be more promising. Perhaps I'll give it another try and avoid the small plates next time if I happen to be invited to Nopa again. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it was packed! Highly recommend making a reservation. It's a nice restaurant; great for a date or with friends and family. We ordered the cauliflower leak soup, smoked mussels, agnolotti, and leg of lamb. The mussels were sooo unexpectedly good; super flavorful and delicious! Agnolotti was stuffed with pork with a mushroom cream sauce; one of the best dishes of the night! Leg of lamb was sliced and moist; it tasted very Mediterranean with the yogurt sauce. We got a couple cocktails, which were also good. Service was great and the food was delicious! Highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area. read more

Came to Nopa for dinner around 6:15 and it was PACKED! Definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand. The space is big with two indoor levels plus outdoor seating. We ordered a mix of dishes and everything was great: the brisket agnolotti was my favorite small plate with super flavorful filling and perfectly textured dough, the flatbread was nice and crispy, and the tagliatelle had perfectly al dente noodles. The pork chop was my favorite overall! It was so tender and flavorful, and the salad it came with was amazing. read more

Back after a few years and love that this SF staple is still going strong. Came on a Monday evening and the place was packed. We were able to snag high chairs at the Chefs counter and highly recommend this if you can! It gives you line of sight to the cooking and you are also next to the Head Chef running orders, which was great entertainment. Drinks are always solid and reasonably priced for the city. Went with the Whiskey Smash that had nice herbal flavors, but still refreshing. Portions are generous. We had 3 "small plates" and 1 main and this was plenty of food for 2 people. Confit duck rillette: Very rich and glad it came with huckleberry compote and figs to bring some freshness. Smoked trout: The chef overheard us talking about this dish and gave it to us on the house since the kitchen accidentally made an extra, which was so generous and made the dish even tastier. The pickled flavors were mild and overall a lighter dish that still had flavor profiles of Scandanavia. Flatbread: Veggie forward with lots of yummy flavors. Group was split on the flatbread itself. I wished it was a little firmer in order to hold all the toppings, but P2 enjoyed the chewiness of the dough. Tagliatelle: The pasta texture was perfection! We were way too full for any dessert, but the Chef was so kind and sent us home with Salted chocolate chip cookies. Overall, a solid restaurant for groups and dates and look forward to our next visit, hopefully at the Chefs table! read more

Solid food and crowded even on a weeknight. I think the hamachi crudo isn't quite traditional and is definitely more earthy / almost grass flavored. Not bad, quite unexpected. The risotto was solid but nothing that stood out. The flatbread however was unique and flavorful! I'd order that again. The cocktails were crafted beautifully with layered flavors. It's San Francisco, so parking isn't easy but that's to be expected. read more

Relaxed-upscale dinner-only NOPA restaurant has a spacious high-ceiling-ed tall-window-ed dining area with many booths and tables for-four, several long tables for groups, a balcony with more two- and four-seat tables, and at least 20 backless-seats at the bar that runs the length of the room front-to-back. We had several $16 craft cocktails feature premium ingredients, such as (Oct 2025) northern California's Isla Califa cherrywood single malt, California-crafted Rockwell vermouth using native botanicals, and southern-California Greenbar Grand Poppy bitter amaro, making their Gold Coast, a sublimely flavored manhattan variation. They also feature equally tasty non-alcohol mixed-drinks, such as their "faux-groni". The beverage list is short, reasonably priced, and very creative, changing frequently. They have wonderful small plates, such as $21 chili-ed battered local Rockfish, a $19 mixed tender lettuce plate with juicy red grapes and pomegranate arils, local walnuts and tangy blue cheese. Creative mains range up to $70, and we shared a $29 mellow yet distinctive butternut squash, apple, purple kale risotto, and a $45 tangy rich quince, root vegetable, mustard seed pork chop. The amazing food and drinks, with the pleasant professional staff, made this a sumptuous experience. read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a phenomenal experience. Nopa is one of my favorite restaurants in the city as it's more of a local's spot iykyk. Nopa is open for dinner 7 days a week with dining both indoors and outdoors. They do have a few seats facing the kitchen counter, a bar, along with a communal table along with a mezzanine. Made a reservation via OpenTable and my table was ready upon arrival. Parking can be tricky with street parking around the restaurant only. Plan on arriving ahead of time and walk several blocks to find a spot for the car. Nopa's small plates are perfect for sharing. They constantly rotate and change with a few favorites showing up on the menu frequently. Nopa's small plates are always extremely fresh, in line with their minimally-processed farm to fork mentality. Nopa's pork chop is the highlight. It's gigantic, super thick, and bone-in. The sides are constantly changing, and always fantastic. The pork chop is always flavorful and extremely juicy. Always save room for dessert. Just like the rest of the menu, it's also constantly changing with super fresh items that change with the season. ~$75/head after tax and gratuity with a 4% SF mandates. Service by the staff is always excellent, changing utensils after each course, wiping down the table, and the waiter checking in on us throughout the evening! read more

Came here for dinner after the annual SF Coffee Festival @ Fort Mason (which was disappointing this year). If you are looking for lively, loud Joints that vibe like "the scene is here" - well, that is what it was on an early Sunday evening. Negroni and wine came quickly (given that every table was booked), and entrees included the chicken and steak (and their side of green beans). Service was attentive, professional and still friendly - and everything we were served was very good. Experience was really good, and personally I'd like to see if midweek is a little less packed and crowded. But I realize sometimes you want to feel like you're in the middle of the action - that's Nopa on the weekend. read more

Friday evening dinner. Sat upstairs and it was hot and sticky with this heatwave. Server was nice enough. Not much interaction in terms of service besides are you ready and can I take your order. Had to ask a couple times for the same request. Back server was very good. Cocktails here are good. But, drinks take forever. Fifteen plus minutes for a few cocktails was a bit long. Second round took even longer. In the middle of the wait for cocktails we ordered one glass of wine which came fast but sadly still waiting for the cocktails. Food was very good. No timing issues. Baked giant beans and the fried rockfish was hot and delicious. Fried chicken was very very hot and very flavorful with a wonderful rosemary essence. Cheeseburger was good with fries. Tagliatelle with bolognese was also tasty and flavorful. More bolognese than noodles really. It had been several years since returning to NOPA. I probably dinned here a few dozen times before covid and it was good back then and good now. I'd say NOPA is elevated comfort food. Nothing is too boujee or complex. But, the food is very good, staff are nice and drinks tasty. read more

One of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant, regardless of price. It was our first time at Nopa, and the entire experience was flawless. The ambiance was great, with a lovely, exciting vibe that made the whole night feel special. The kitchen absolutely blew us away. Huge compliments to the chef because the food was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the baked beans and the smoked trout appetizer, both of which were incredible. For entrees, the pork chop and fried chicken were perfectly executed, rounded out by fantastic sides of french fries and broccoli. Every single dish was an absolute home run. The service completely matched the stellar quality of the food. Our server gave us great detail on the menu and provided plenty of attention without ever being burdensome. We were way too full for dessert, but they thoughtfully packed up a couple of chocolate cookies to go anyway. They even included an extra container of honey with our to-go containers for the leftover chicken tomorrow. Finally, as I was walking out the door balancing a handful of boxes, someone rushed to my aid with a bag. An extraordinary meal, amazing atmosphere, and outstanding hospitality. We will definitely be back! read more

This is the burger that San Francisco chefs love to talk about. And it makes sense. They grind the meat in house. The brioche buns are baked fresh daily. The produce is sourced from a tight network of local farms. But it's not as exceptional as it used to be. The San Francisco burger scene has caught up, and Nopa's burger has lost its specialness...but that doesn't mean Nopa has. Nopa opened in 2006 inside a converted bank - high ceilings, a massive bar, a communal table, just - awesome vibes. From day one it became an industry restaurant - One of the few spots in the city where you could show up late night, order off a menu that changes daily, and know the food is going to be dialed in. They specialize in wood-fired cooking, which is why their thick cut, brined pork chop with baked beans is so popular - and...it's good, but their fried chicken is quickly becoming their best seller and THAT, was PERFECT. Crispy skin, juicy underneath, seasoned beautifully. But the dish that so perfectly encapsulates what Nopa is...was this salad. Just trout, and whatever was good at the farm that week. That's Nopa. A neighborhood kitchen, cooking what's in season, for the people who live down the street, on a menu that's always changing. Twenty years in, it's still full every night. And that could have been my entire review right there. read more

We were seated and greeted right away. Our server was amazing. The bar ambiance and whole vibe is nice, but the place does get pretty loud so it could be hard to hear. All the entrees were had were delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the fried chicken was very moist and the pork chop was cooked to perfection. My only gripe was the desserts. We ordered 2 different ones to share and both were not great. Honestly, the ice cream was the best part. If they had better dessert options, I would definitely be back here more often. read more

My amazing friend Mary N. treated me to this savory bustling sensation after our awesome tour of the #SF Designer Showcase. My first time here, Mary, the foodie connoisseur, ordered her favorite go to dishes to share with me. Let's go ahead and say ultimate comfort food experience! Wood baked beans arrived first, very Italian flair and flavor, I've known them as butter beans, but never like this! Somehow the very petite croutons stayed crunchy throughout enjoying.

We came here on a Tuesday night and it was hard to get a reservation the week before. We got a 5:30, which is when they open and were running late and couldn't find parking. No worries as they held our table for about 15 minutes. We were right at the top of the stairs on the side without a view of the downstairs. No worries though as the vibe was on point and high energy. It is a relatively small menu and we went straight for the entrees. I had the tagliatelle. It was basic, but so high quality. The 9 hour cook of the bolognese could be felt as the sauce felt so soft and effortless. The braised green made it feel somewhat healthy and the parmasen was the right amount. I was not offered pepper or any add-ons so it must be meant to eat as-is. We were there a long time (2.5 hours) just catching up and never felt rushed to turn the table. read more
