The ambiance caught our attention as we were passing by, so we decided to stop in for an early dinner. Because it is a vegan restaurant, we were initially very excited, but the experience turned into a bit of a roller coaster ride. Seating & Atmosphere The Wait: The server made us wait 5 minutes to be seated, despite there being many empty tables. The Seating: We were placed at the open bar area tables. They have an indoor area with larger tables, which is likely why we weren't offered a choice. The Vibe: The music was loud and not to our taste. It is a small space, so I guess the high volume is meant to give tables some conversational privacy. The Food The prices are on the higher side, especially for the portion sizes, though the food ended up being quite filling. Here are the dishes we ordered: 1. Veg 'Clam' Chowder (4.5/5): The soup was great, with lots of vegetables and a perfect celery flavor. The server recommended that we squeeze the lemon given with it, and it really enhanced the soup. However, the paired bread was doughy and didn't taste good. 2. Veggie Samosa (3.5/5): Prepared like a puff pastry instead of a traditional deep-fried snack. The samosa itself was again really good but the tamarind chutney was too sour and subdued the flavor of the samosa. 3. Cheesecake with Strawberries (1.5/5): The cheesecake itself wasn't great, and the bitter chocolate and syrupy strawberry sauces made it worse. Worse yet, the blueberries and cut strawberry garnishes were stale. Seeing old fruit made me wonder about the freshness of the rest of their raw ingredients. Service The service was slow and inattentive. It took over 10 minutes just to place our dessert order, and another 10 minutes for it to arrive. On the positive side, our water was refilled promptly throughout the night. The Verdict Revisit Rating: 3.5/5 (Worth a second chance, as there are many other interesting dishes on the menu we want to try). Pro Tip: Skip the dessert entirely! We absolutely regretted ordering it.
Love the ambiance; music and people. I sat at the bar and the team made the best recs for my first time! I can't wait to come back!
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.
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.
I really enjoyed this place - the food was just simply so good. I got the ceviche tostadas (everything is vegan at Om Sabor). Kind of a fancy place--service was okay. Would come back with friends, but going there alone did not feel as welcoming as it could have.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
The service from start to finish was spectacular. The ambiance of this restaurant/bar was elegant and nice. But the food...the food was the star. We ordered a little of everything as we are crazy vegans. lol. This place is an all vegan restaurant which we love and appreciate. We brought our non vegan friends here as well and they loved everything. They have a happy hour menu as well from 3-5 with $8 prices. The cocktails were great. I got the plum thing and my husband got the coconut one, both off their happy hour. Highly recommend coming here and will visit again.
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
The ambiance wasn't really my vibe but the food was incredible!! Loved the nachos & the burger was insane!! I highly recommend coming here for the food
Super delicious vegan place only steps from the opera house! We went here for dinner after seeing the Barber of Seville matinee and were super impressed with the options and the ambiance this place provided. We sat at the bar and it was relatively quiet though by the time we left there was a line forming at the door to get in. We got a few drinks, "crab" arancini, "Chk'n" Paella, and the "Choriqueso" Empanadas. Our favorite was the paella - the skewers were really delicious - although everything on the menu looked and tasted good. Could not tell anything was vegan. Would definitely come back and try a few of the other dishes! read more

We were in town. My daughter suggested this place. The restaurant is inside the Phonobar. We got there for a early dinner. So there was no wait. The seating inside is high bar tables. We ordered off the happy hour menu and the dinner menu. The cheviche came with two pieces. It had a slight citrus taste,it was good but messy. The bottom shell fell apart after one bite. The flautas were really good. Crispy and full of flavor. We tried to order the clam chowder,but it was unavailable. They had corn chowder instead. This was ok. Only a couple of potatos chunks,and a lot of pepper. The portion size was big for the price. Off the dinner menu we ordered the chicken paella,and the truffle potatoes. Both we great and cook perfectly. But rather small portions considering the price. It got louder as time went by and the place started to fill up. But I remembered that this place is a bar not a restaurant. read more

Highly recommend this spot. Food was amazing! After a long day exploring the city we knew we wanted to end with a vegan restaurant that would end our city day trip perfectly. Om Sabor nailed it. 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

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
Second visit 5/3 on a Friday night 8-10 for dinner. Still LOVE the food and vibe! Date night feel that turns more mix and mingle after 10. My boyfriend is not vegan and he still loves the food! Definitely stop in for amazing food and energy 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
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
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

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

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

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

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 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
