Delicious food, especially the al Pastor tacos. The Caesar's salad was made very well. read more

The food here is exceptional and it's all vegan! It's technically a vegan bar, but I don't drink and I still had a great time. There are tables in the back room that's quite dark, so it would be a nice date spot. But the front area has tables that are more well lit. The only thing I wasn't into was the music. But I'd still go back. read more

A great spot offering plenty of gluten-free and vegan options near Civic Center! My friend and I stopped by this spot on a Friday during Happy Hour to grab some quick bites. Since this is near the Civic Center, spots are limited, so public transit is the best way to get here! Inside was very aesthetically pleasing and inviting, with the windows stretching up the wall to the ceiling, and a modern bar. At that moment, we weren't really looking for drinks, just bites, so I do not have any opinions yet on their drink selection. We ordered the "crab" arancini, which came with jackfruit, lemon garlic, salsa macha aioli, and guajillo, and the barbacoa nachos. The arancini was okay, and did not stand out as much as I would have liked. The panko crust on it was on the thicker side, so it had a bit of a harder exterior, but I will say I did like how well the jackfruit was incorporated and added depth to the dish. I wish that I could taste a bit more of that lemon in the lemon garlic. The barbacoa nachos were delicious, and I liked how they paired the nachos with jalapenos and pickled onions for a nice flavor composition. The jackfruit blended well and added some savory, "meaty" flavoring to the dish that worked. Overall, for a restaurant that specializes in vegan food, this was a great choice! I thought the service was great as well, and they were very accommodating to our party when it came to dietary needs, which is always appreciated. read more

SERVICE - located near civic center - parking can be hard to find since there are a lot of popular events nearby. there are a few lots available within a 10 minute walk - no reservations - bar area in the front and seating at smaller tables in the back - ambiance good for a date night or intimate meal with a smaller group - service was friendly though never came to check on us to fill water or clear our plates during our meal. for a restaurant that is marketed as slightly upscale, I was hoping for something more personable - food served relatively quickly MENU - global selection of large and small shareable - all vegan/vegetarian - slightly pricey FOOD - crab arancini (8/10): three crispy rice and jackfruit balls topped with pickled onion on a bed of spicy aioli. This was a wonderful appetizer. We asked for an extra ball since we went as a party of four. The filling has a slight acidity and freshness that feels like an elevated version of a nostalgic dish. I would recommend getting this to share. - beet pesto salad (7/10): roasted beetroot with arugula, tofu ricotta, pistachio pesto, and Parmesan. I was craving something fresh and green to pair with the snacky items we were getting. Our server recommended this to us and although it seemed simple I liked how each ingredient shone. The tofu ricotta was a creamy base with a strong punch of lemon. I did not get much dill in it though. I also got no pesto throughout the entire plate even though it was had pesto in the name. - pesto mac and cheese (7/10): pasta and butternut squash in a creamy sauce topped with breadcrumbs. Had this been called just mac and cheese I would have ranked it much higher. Similar to the salad there was no pesto to be found. I did enjoy the addition of butternut squash for sweetness to balance the cashew cream sauce. - truffle mushroom au gratin (5/10): roasted oyster mushroom and vegetables on a red wine sauce with a stack of scallop potatoes. The description for this was quite different than what we were served. When I imagine an au gratin, I think of something baked in a skillet that is warm and bubbling. This was small pieces on a plate. The mushrooms and vegetables were okay but not spectacular. I enjoyed the potatoes and wished they were an appetizer on their own. - strawberry and cream cuernito (6/10): puff pastry crescent filled with coconut custard and strawberry jam with a side of chocolate ice cream. This was the only dessert available. In theory the components all worked well together, but I felt like the actual execution could have been improved. For a dish with strawberry in the name, there was almost no strawberry in the pastry. I also would have preferred a warm chocolate sauce instead of the ice cream. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! I really liked the concept and the ambiance and would want to try it again for a hopefully higher review read more

Obsessed with the pickle cocktail, the crab arancini was nice and crunchy, the tostada was a bit difficult to eat and was more on the sour side, the tacos were pretty filling! Really cool that everything was vegan Really nice dark and intimate vibes for a cocktail and a bite before catching a show. On the pricier side for sure tho read more

Vegan spot for those who follow that lifestyle! I am not a vegan but the food was pretty good, especially impressed with the mac and cheese. Drinks were alright, everything a little pricey. Neighborhood is okay, parking wasn't difficult and there was no wait. Service was quick, ambiance was dark. I've been here for their evening phonobar and that vibe seems a little bit more fitting. read more

Last night I went with a friend to Om Sabor before walking over to see the Nutcracker a couple blocks away. We dined on some delightful small bites from the eclectic (and fully vegan) menu from Om Sabor. We tried: 1. "choriqueso" empanadas: housemade soyrizo, potato, coconut mozzarella, chipotle pinto beans, cilantro-radish slaw. These empanadas were way more filling than I was expecting. Probably because the masa dough was a bit thick, but really tasty flavor and I loved the fresh slaw and refried beans. 2. Fig "cheese" tart: caramelized onions, red wine reduction figs, arugula, garlic confit tofu ricotta, balsamic glaze, on puff pastry. This was our favorite bite of the night! So well balanced - sweet and savory with that flaky pastry. 3. "Crab" arancini: arborio rice, lemon garlic jackfruit, guajillo, salsa macha aioli. Also a standout! Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with tasty sauces. I wouldn't necessarily say it tasted like crab but it tasted delicious! 4. "Clam" chowder: oyster + king trumpet mushrooms, cremini bacon, celery, potato, carrot, garlic confit, cashew bechamel, crostini. Sooo creamy and comforting, this was a really hearty bowl of chowda! Again, don't go into it expecting it to taste like clams but rather like a scrumptious creamy mushroom soup which is what I was craving. A must-try! 5. Drink: "grapefruit moon" cocktail with grapefruit, serrano rosemary syrup, lime, and tequila. Nicely tart with a hint of smoky spice, we both really enjoyed this drink. This was a fantastic meal and I'm surprised I don't see Om Sabor mentioned more often in lists of vegan places to eat in San Francisco because the food was impressively good and the atmosphere was really cool - dim but not so dark you can't see the menu, with plants and gold accents, very chic. We sat at the bar and the bartender who served us was very friendly and our food came out incredibly promptly. My friend (who is not vegan) enjoyed the meal thoroughly so I would recommend Om Sabor to vegans and omnivores alike! read more

I've had Om Sabor on my bookmarks for the longest time so when we had tickets to a show at Davies, I knew that would be the chance to go! My friend and I shared two plates, a dessert, and got a drink each and it was the perfect early dinner before our show. We went with the jackfruit flautas which were exceptionally convincing as "chicken" flautas. The flavors were punchy, the flautas were done right - crispy on the outside but soft and savory on the inside. We also opted for the ceviche tostadas done with trumpet mushrooms. Again, the flavors were spot on. In this instance, it was much more obvious that we weren't eating meat, but without knowing that it was mushrooms, we also couldn't place it. We cleaned it up with the Tres Leches done with three non-dairy milks, nice! It was on the coconutty side but not overwhelmingly so. It was decadent and fully saturated, just how a tres leche ought to be. The funny part was that there was some misplaced micro greens on top, and I sure hope that was a mistake but also...Hayes valley, it wouldn't surprise me either. Overall, my friend and I really enjoyed it! read more

After a long night of exploring SF, I decided to come to this fully vegan bar/restaurant. It was so delicious! My partner and I shared the carne asada nachos and the Om Burger. The ambiance was so moody and fancy. The vibes were great! The food was genuinely phenomenal. My partner isn't vegan or vegetarian and he still to this day raves about this place. 100% would recommend. read more

This is a review for both the restaurant located inside of the sexy ambiance of the Phonobar AND for their catering. Everytime I enjoy their cosmic vegan vibes, I'm happy that a restaurant like this still exists in San Francisco, especially in Hayes Valley. Jesus and Chef Dani are so sweet and generous and have been serving the community for a long time. I enjoyed their trumpet mushroom ceviche, beet salad, omburger and al pastor tacos over the years. Service has always been impeccable and it's a great date night treat kinda of place. I recommend to all my lovers of vegan latin fusion. read more

I had the best vegan meal I've ever had at this cozy, intimate bar/restaurant. I had a hard time choosing from the great menu but went with the empanadas and clam chowder. Both were amazing and tasted award winning. Plus all of their drinks are great as mocktails- I had the desert rose and it was yummy. Danny the bartender was attentive and the service was fast- my food came out in 5 minutes! read more

Om Sabor was an incredible plant-based dining experience that left my heart feeling happy and taste buds extremely satisfied. They offer open seating in their bar area, back room, and even outside. Once seated, our waiter came over to give us all the menus including their weekday happy hour (17:00 - 19:00), mains, and drinks. We started with their Carne Asada Tacos and Ceviche Tostadas from the happy hour menu. Both were phenomenal. The ceviche was fresh on top of crispy corn tortilla and the mock carne asada was flavorful that you really couldn't tell it apart from the meat version. For our mains, we shared a few items for the table including the Carne Asada Nachos, Oyster Mushroom Calamari (HIT!), Crispy Mushroom Potato Gratin (heavenly), and their Teriyaki Chicken Skewers. Every single item we had was delicious, well executed, and surprisingly very filling which was good since the pricing is higher being in the city. I would go back for anything mushroom related especially that calamari - one of my favorite crispy mushroom dishes. We had a fantastic experience and I am eager to return to try more of their dishes and drinks. read more

Vegan / Veg / Vegetarian review : We went the restaurant a few weeks after its opening - on my birthday and I absolutely loveed it Loved the service and especially loved the ambience a lot. (avoid sitting in the dark room, it's not that fun) Ordered the 1. Hibiscus Tacos (3/5): Friends loved it, I didn't. 2. Spicy Margarita (5/5): Can't recall the name but it was amazing 3. Chicken/Soy Teriyaki Skewers (5/5): Absolutely loved this dish. 4. Chicken Paella (4.5/5): It was really unexpectedly tasty given its appearance. It had less chicken though :/ 5. Sweet potato fritters (4.5/5): Not sure but there were three flat sweet potato things which I loved! The only issue is that it's a bit pricy for the portion size. But it's a great date place and a great vegan restaurant read more

My friend and I are big foodies, and with her being vegan it's always a delight to explore vegan speciality restaurants. I heard about Om Sabor from a work acquaintance and my friend recommended we go which ended up an ideal spot for us to grab dinner and catch up! Acting more of a partnership, the restaurant and bar are quite loud and it was hard to hear at times. Seating is all first come first serve with several tables, bar seating, and a back area--they truly utilize as much space as they can. The ambiance is casual with bursts of high energy, definitely a spot for friends or dates. We found service to be lacking at times as we weren't checked in, were confused about who to ask for our requests, and our food came out late. I'm dairy-free and don't eat red meat, so I chose to indulge in what I don't have. I enjoyed the Carne Asada Tacos which my friend had too! The tacos were well flavored, the texture mimicked meat, and it had a nice kick. She had the Truffle Mac n Cheese and we ordered Parmesan Fries. The fries were amazing, I haven't had parmesan in ages so it was nice to have a mimic. They offer a happy hour and a regular dinner menu. The restaurant collaborates with Phonobar and is off Grove with street and garage parking. I'm glad I could cross off this recommended spot and enjoy vegan cuisine with my friend! I wouldn't mind coming back for happy hour. read more

love this vegan bar restaurant situation. 5/5 no notes. it's in a great area too i love hayes valley.

Great vibe, even better food. Took a date here after a concert and she raved about the experience for a month afterward. Even better, didn't realize it was a vegan restaurant until someone else asked us for a recommendation in the city. Go. Enjoy. You'll be glad you did. read more

Amazing vegan food! I particularly loved the crab aranchini ( highly recommend) The ceviche tostada was also good, but a bit hard to eat (the toppings kept falling off lol) I'm eager to come back to try more of their offerings. This is a pop-up kitchen located in a bar, phonobar. There's a fair amount of seating, but they don't take reservations and it does get pretty busy post 6:45pm. Service is a hybrid between restaurant and bar, but prompt and helpful. read more

First time going to a vegan restaurant! Ive been to vegetarian restaurants but never vegan. The dishes tastes SO good you can almost tell it was vegan. This is more of a tapas restaurant so its better to come with a group and order multiple small dishes. Especially the truffle mac and cheese which me and my friends were questioning if they used dairy cheese. All of their cheese dishes are coconut based to give it that creamy texture. Most if not all of their meat substitutes are soy based! However, i thought it was really rude when one of the workers came up to me and had an attitude when I brought my boba inside since no outside food/drinks are allowed. I didnt know because there were no signs and I usually bring my boba into restaurants without issue....but her tone was unnecessarily brash. read more

Wow, I was thoroughly impressed by the food and ambiance here! My best friend is vegan so she's been bringing me to some of her favorite places in the city. It's self-seating because it's literally a bar, but service is very quick. We got our menus and order taken within minutes. We ordered the crab arancini (my favorite of the night), chicken mole sopes, potato au gratin, and paella skewers. I was blown away by the flavor of every dish! Everything was done and seasoned so well, I really am growing more and more fond of vegan cuisine. Total was about $98 after tax and tip, which is just about right for the area. Would definitely come back to try more seasonal dishes and Happy Hour! read more

Love it! Vegan options? Yes! This was convenient to go to before an opera show or symphony since it's super walkable. They have great happy hour specials and a delicious array of small dishes. We ordered some tacos, an empanada with chickpeas and a kale salad with soy chicken. All the dishes were flavorful and I enjoyed that they had a variety of vegan dishes. The drinks were also so tasty and very unique. It's a cute atmosphere too. I'd go here again! read more

I liked this place. Food: I have always liked new vegan fusion dishes in the city. This place is no exception (even through the vegan tax is real) we enjoyed all the dishes here. My favorite is the boneless chicken wings. It has the Latin spicy and tenderness. My least favorite is the desert. The vanilla ice cream scoop is small, and the cake is not smooth, but rather crumbly. The place is cute. It is first come first serve style, which is lovely. But when people can only get a small spot, the table is way tooooo low for eating. Maybe to check in with customers before getting them seated. Like I ordered clam chowder. The pot was hot and heavy. I had a hard time eating it. Also, I would say that this place is way toooo loud. I could barely hear what my friends said. I will come back to bring Jack here, and see if he likes it. read more

Om Sabor is truly one of my least favorite dining experiences in SF. This review isn't even based on a one off experience, but a slew of negative visits. As one of the few full vegan spots in SF, I have found myself there on numerous unhappy occasions with large groups for birthdays, work parties, etc. I was there this past weekend with a birthday group and the waitstaff were incredibly unpleasant. I went inside to look at a menu and was rebuked that "the server had already told my group they couldn't accommodate yet." It is fair enough to wait, but being catty about even looking at the menu? That was just uncalled for. There was some male bartender/server/manager type who is just deeply unpleasant. The food is also absolutely awful. It is mostly tasteless, soggy, and identity-less. The potato gratin was a swamp of flavorless cashew crema and boiled vegetables. The salads are limp and overdressed, and even the fries are kind of gnarly, with a thick horseradish goop on top. To be a little balanced, the cauliflower is tolerable, but I would not recommend this food to anyone. Nor the drinks, as the espresso martini only tastes of vodka and doesn't even have beans on it. Overall, Om Sabor is really gruesome, overpriced, and disappointing. Go elsewhere. read more

Unfortunately, very disappointing. The best of all was the clam chowder because that was nostalgic for me but the nostalgia was doing a lot of heavy lifting. The tostadas were so hard to the point it was unpleasant to eat, the ceviche topping was not a favourite it was mostly fruit--maybe inconsistent preparation because the other reviews of this item look quite different. the fries were beyond disappointing, save yourself 11.50 or whatnot, just some mayo 'aioli' and black sesame seeds. We only got the fries because they were out of the crab arancini. The service was unfortunately worse than the food, with the man who greeted us at the door barely checking in with us ever again. He kept letting more and more groups into the restaurant despite having nowhere to seat them, and he was focused seemingly only on any women he maybe deemed pretty over service to anyone else. Expect bar levels of noise, which is fair but with everything else, definitely not a place I would return especially for these prices. read more

I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A VEGAN SPOT AND IM SHOOKETH. Hear me out! I was invited for my friend's birthday. And unlike me, I didn't pre-stalk their Yelp page or website. I just walked in blind. And as a self proclaimed hardcore carnivore, when I tell you that I had NO IDEA I WAS NOT EATING MAMMAL or DAIRY from a cow, I WAS SHOOKETH CUZ I HAD NO IDEA!!!!!! I came for happy hour. We were unable to make a reservation for our large group so I was nervous we wouldn't find seating, but there's more seating in the back. I arrived first and was also nervous about trying to hold a table for 7 people alone, but as soon as I sat down, the manager came to me and helped me set up enough chairs and tables for my friends. To drink, I initially started with an old fashioned since their happy hour cocktails are only classic drinks, but then I switched to another drink similar to it that I really liked (i liked it more, forgot the name because my friends ordered it first and I just said I want the same as her). To eat, I had the carne asada tacos. Did I realize it was not beef? no, I did not. The thought of the "meat" pieces looking different did cross my mind fleetingly but it truly didn't register till well after we left and I was told it was a vegan spot. Same for the truffle Mac & cheese. It was phenomenal and I did actively think about the fact that it seemed a bit watery but I brushed it off because Omg it was so good and still creamy. Also, I didn't order the Mac & cheese; they definitely brought it out by accident, but I surely was not going to say no to it since it looked and smelled so good, so I kept it and paid for it. Finally I had the fries and those were tasty as well. This is the second time in my life that I have eaten a vegan meal without knowing it is vegan. Yes there are some differences but what I'm realizing is that if the food tastes good, it's most definitely harder to tell. Also doesn't help that the names are the carnivore names. I mean they still call it "carne asada", how could I have known? All to say, Om Sabor, well done. You fooled a hardcore carnivore out of eating meat lol and I'm not mad at it because it was phenomenal! read more

A great place to meet up and enjoy happy hour before going to a show. This evening we went to the SF symphony and this place is conveniently located across the street from the symphony hall. This place can get very crowded as it's pretty small, with bar space and small tables along the window front. Happy hour menu consists of small bites for $8-$9 and includes olives, fires, cerviche tostadas, Mac n cheese croquette, carne asada tacos. Classic cocktails $12, beers $6 and wines $8. We sat at the bar and it was lined with cocktail garnishes along the counter which was nice in photos. Service was quick and food was good. Overall, a great place to go to before a show in the civic area. read more

Some of the best vegan food in the Bay Area imho! The bar they're located in also has great drinks and the server was friendly and attentive. It's a nice cozy bar but definitely on the darker/dimmer side in terms of lighting. Most importantly, food wise, you will love whatever you get. But definitely get the clam chowder. SO GOOD. My non-veggie partner loved it as well. Their portions are smaller and snacky so bring some friends and try everything! read more

Om Sabor is making some of, if not THE, best food within city limits right now. I've been a fan since their early popup days, been graced with their catering through many public and private events, and continue to be astounded by how they meld approachable, comforting American, Mexican, and global inspiration with fine dining finishes. The menu changes regularly but I'm utterly enamored with the current lasagna bolognese, a towering strata of noodles, plant-based meat sauce, and ricotta. It's simple yet spectacular, generously sized and fairly priced. That, plus the crispy fried oyster mushrooms, fashioned after calamari, is a meal I'll never forget. read more

Om Sabor was once a temporary pop-up restaurant to have the same location as Phonobar, which would be permanent from this day forward. I was so eager to find the time to take a crack at On Sabor's best. As the interior of Phonobar was small, the indoor seating was very limited. Therefore, I came here first before all the seats filled in; plus, I ordered so quickly after I memorized which ones I like from their online menu. Seeing how the restaurant has mostly plant based goodness as well as the fair price of each order, it'd be good to choose how I complete my dinner night. Starting off was Coming Up Rosemary, one of my best mocktail! The sweetness of the ginger beer was so crisp. Its rosemary shrub sitting on the top of the cup made this mocktail so unique. Oh how I drown my stress from work with the sea of botanicals! A pair of Hibiscus Flower Taco was absolutely interesting before the main course. The edible reddish flowers were so sweet with the micro greens altogether. With the kick of spicy chili sauce, nothing beats the feeling of enjoyment. Since Om Sabor was a Mexican restaurant, I chose Enchilada Rohas as a way to live up to its name. Soy protein enchilada with Mexican rice and refried beans on each side; looked and tasted normal with good quality ingredients on a two-handle skillet. For dessert, Rosemary Citrus Cheesecake, which was absolutely filling since all of what I ate and drank was light. It appeared my dinner night came out on a rosemary start to finish. Love the family owned pop up restaurant who put together the right food choices to make every dinner night a pleasurable, satisfying experience! All the presentations were made with their love language that speaks of diversity and inclusion. We ought to take Om Sabor as a leading example. read more

Incredible spot for vegan food. I've tried the food here while coming to phonobar several times and it has never disappointed. To start, phonobar has an incredible ambiance with a vinyl djs on weekends and certain weeknights. It's somewhat dimly lit, and definitely is first and foremost a cocktail bar over a restaurant. It can get super crowded/loud (and feel somewhat young) after about 8 pm on weekend /weekend adjacent nights so I wouldn't come expecting a nice sit down dinner on those evenings. Service can also be slow as a result. With that caveat, I HIGHLY recommend trying both the bar and restaurant. Food is all vegan and incredible, even friends who are avid meat eaters have loved it. My favorite thing on the menu is the carne asada nachos, but the impossible burger and hibiscus tacos were also delicious/interesting. They also have a happy hour which is great if you're able to make it. Huge fan of more vegan/vegetarian place and so happy to hear that om sabor now has a permanent home in phonobar. read more

Incredibly talented chef. I was so impressed I wanted to try everything on the menu food is unique vegan/ vegetarian cuisine. Service and ambience are decent. It's a pop up-- so seating is limited and it's self seating. Didn't try the cocktails but I will come back for that read more

The food was delicious and highly recommend the flautas and empanadas. This seems like a place better suited for cocktails and food on the side. I would not plan to just eat dinner here as you may go home hungry unless you're willing to spend a lot of money on dinner alone. We went around the corner to rad radish for dessert because we could not fathom spending more money here and we felt like we were being rushed out. read more

Got recommended this restaurant from a fellow SF Symphony goer (it's literally right next to the Performing Arts Garage). Ordered the mac & cheese croquettes, flautas, Parmesan fries, and chikn paella. Got a Dias de Los Muertos Punch (mocktail) which includes a free refill. The mocktail tasted like Christmas. Love the cinnamon though it was a little too sweet for my taste. Flautas had a crispy exterior shell and the garnishes really helped lighten the dish. Can't go wrong with the Parmesan fries. They came with a side of ketchup and aioli. The mac and cheese croquettes didn't taste like cheese even though it had the consistency of cheese but it was still very flavorful. And the chikn paella was really good and balanced. The protein wasn't really pretending to be chicken. I personally am used to the texture and flavor of seitan as I've cooked with and eaten many Asian vegetarian dishes that frequently use seitan but I can understand that the texture and sometimes aftertaste can be jarring for first time diners. I can't tell you what the ambiance is inside the restaurant as I sat in the parklet. The parklet was really cute though you're definitely close to other parties. Service was okay except that we were right in the middle of a shift change so we were kind of forgotten towards the end of the meal. They do allow split payments which is great. read more

Om Sabor is a Mexican vegan restaurant inside the Phonobar, near San Francisco's City Hall. We finished a performance and decided to give this place a try. Dhanistha Rivera and partner Luis Alfredo Flores and are Mexican vegan chefs sharing our passion for good karma food with a touch of their Mexican family roots inspired with universal cuisines. We did not know what to expect and with one of us being vegan, have tried many spots in the City. Om Sabor pleasantly surprised us with inventive yet fulfilling cuisine. None of the fake meat on a bun or pasta! Vegans should DEFINITELY come. Menu changes often. Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering. Food Review: Dessert Rose ($17) is not a cheap cocktail, but it hits the spot for those who like more sweet drinks. Nice balance. 8.5/10 Furikake Fries ($11) Russet Potato, Sesame Nori, Wasabi Aioli, Parmesan (GF, SF, NF) were the weaker of the dishes. Nothing special. Slightly underfried. 7/10 Hibiscus Flower Tacos ($15) Caramelized Onions, Hibiscus Flowers, Avocado, Salsa Colorado, Cilantro, Crema, Cilantro, La Palma Tortilla (GF, SF, NF) were recommended by our server. Nice sweetish hint on the substantial tacos. A solid dish. 9/10 Ceviche Tostadas ($16) King Trumpet Mushrooms, Cauliflower, Persimmon, Ginger, Aji Limo Leche de Tigre, Avocado, Camote Puree, Peruvian Choclo, Corn Tostadas (GF, SF, NF) were also recommended. 3 good sizes portions. Nice mushroom texture on top of a crunchy tostada. 9/10 Beet Salad ($13) Arugula, Tofu Dill Ricotta, Pistachio Basil Pesto, Parmesan (GF) was a solid salad. Looks pretty dark but hits the mark. Not as good as the tacos and tostadas. 8/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Very Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes read more

I am blessed with the vegan food in Hayes Valley! Om Sabor is top among them. We came for happy hour and I'd highly recommend doing so. We started with cocktails (both were awesome) and the happy hour mac and cheese croquettes. These were so so good, we ordered another serving. Also could not believe they were vegan. We then did the vegan carne asada tacos and ceviche tostadas. Both were awesome! Definitely not meat-y and a vegan texture but definitely not lacking in flavor. We really came for the seasonal (not cheese) cheesecake though, and it delivered. So creamy and the seasonal fruit flavor is exceptional. Also, how cool is vegan cheesecake?! Seems like an oxymoron but it exists. We will be ordering this again and I will be thinking about it for a long time. Very casual but cool vibe, the restaurant is connected with Phonobar too which I'd imagine would be a super fun night. Service was fast and chill. Will come back. So great to have a wonderful vegan place like this in the neighborhood read more

I'm so glad I finally got to try this delicious vegan spot! As a non vegan, I have to say I was super impressed. Especially during the dessert course, I actually said that I forgot we were at a vegan restaurant! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by every single staff member. It was such a warm welcome. We found a nice table in the back lounge area. It has such a cozy vibe and the music was really eclectic and enjoyable. The booth and chair seating were so spacious and comfy which is honestly a luxury in SF. Overall it was a very relaxing experience. Throughout our meal, our server was really attentive and efficient. As for food, the cauliflower wings are a MUST! Omg I don't know how they managed to make these taste so good. The texture was just like meat and the sauce was tangy and sweet. I honestly prefer these to actual wings now. My vegetarian friends were super happy with them too. Another big hit were the ceviche tostadas - crunchy and packed with flavor. The beet salad with the pistachio basil pesto was also phenomenal and another crowd pleaser. For dessert, we could not believe that there was no butter in the pumpkin chocolate pastelito because it was so flaky and delicious- everyone was fighting for the last bite.
