What a fantastic date higher. We snagged a table without reservations. It was a gamble but we felt lucky. There's a parking garage nearby if street parking is limited. The dining area in the back is dimly lit and hella romantic. We sat at a table top near the bar. It was fun to see all the action as the restaurant got busier. We dropped in for a snack but ended up trying a few things on the happy hour menu and splurged on the cheese board. The crane asada tacos were tasty. I had the flor de Jamaica tacos before and those are a must have if it's available. The cheese board was a fancy and filling treat. Wow, didn't miss dairy at all. The crackers were great and crunchy. Don't skip the cocktails. If you hang around, there's a DJ to shake things up. We didn't stay for dancing but hope to check it out soon. read more

I really enjoyed the ceviche tostadas, but thought the carne asada nachos were terrible. The fake meat tasted very weird, so I sent them back. The ambiance and service were good though. Maybe the nachos are the only bad thing on the menu. Definitely recommend the ceviche tostadas! They're messy but tasty! read more

Came here for dinner with a friend and was so pleasantly surprised by the food here. Phonobar z Om Sabor has drinks and delicious vegan food. We got some cocktails which were delicious! My friend got a the spicy margarita and I got the summer gin drink and they were both excellent. For food we got the carne asada tacos. These are vegan so they aren't meat but the fake meat alternative was yummy! The texture is obviously not the same as real meat but the flavor was excellent! I loved the hot salsa on the side it added so much flavor. We also go the wine hibiscus cheesecake which was the standout for me. This was divine and I would come back just for this cheesecake. It was so creamy without it being over indulgent or heavy and the fruits were such a yummy and tart addition to the sweet cheesecake. Overall great vibes at this small space and really great food and service. Will be back! read more

Wowweeee! 10/10 recommend! The service was fabulous! My partner (who uses a wheelchair) and I were able to come in and have a seat right at their accessible section which was actually accessible and usable (most restaurants use these mandated ADA sections as service stations, so this was a very pleasant surprise)! Thanks Sam (and the rest of the staff) for being so attentive and kind; the place has such a great atmosphere. The cocktails were great and the vegan food was phenomenal! We aren't vegan but wanted to give the food a try and wowza! Om Sabor did NOT disappoint!! The clam chowder was fantastic - I didn't miss the clams, the mushrooms they used were perfect in texture and the taste was incredible. The skewers, we found out after we ordered, we're just added to the menu today and we're phenomenal!!! Each veggie perfectly cooked and the seasoning was amazing, then topped with furikake?! Perfect combination of flavors. I'll be raving about this place for weeks! Definitely recommend. We'll be back! read more

I am vegetarian and my friend is gluten free and dairy free, so there were so many options for the both of us. The prices here are so great, and the flavor is immaculate, the hibiscus flower tacos were our favorite. The vibe inside is so sophisticated, yet not over the top or intimidating, and the staff are super patient and helpful. read more

If you're looking to grab a bite in the Theater district, definitely check out Om Sabor! Sharing a space with Phonobar, there are limited window seats at the front of the restaurant. If you have a larger party, there are also tables in the back. Luckily, we got there before the rush and managed to grab an intimate table in the front. Once dinner time hit the place was bustling! It was quite difficult to read the menu under low-lighting, but thankfully we have flashlights on our phones. We ordered the vegan crab cakes, hibiscus tacos, macaroni and cheese, and a slice of blueberry cheesecake. Because it's a bar, we were asked if we wanted to open or close the tab. We closed the tab and paid after ordering. Our food arrived promptly and everything was beautifully presented. Unfortunately, I only have fuzzy pics due to the low-lighting, but the taste is imbedded in my memory. From the perfectly crispy crab cakes to the rich and comfort of the mac-n-cheese to the not-too-dense blueberry cheesecake, everything was prepared meticulously! Despite the tacos having microgreens in them, I actually couldn't tell and thoroughly enjoyed it with the sauce. For those who don't regularly eat vegan food, proceed with lower expectations for the crab cakes. They definitely don't have that briny taste that crab has, since they're made of mushrooms, after all! We finished off with the cheesecake, which was made of a tofu base and topped off with a hibiscus reduction. It was my first time eating a tofu cheesecake, and I'm pleased with the result! Unlike other plant-based cheesecakes made from nuts, the tofu created a lighter and easier-to-eat texture. The overall meal price was expensive for the amount of food, imo. It's probably to be expected in this district. Other than that I'd definitely come by again! read more

Came in out of curiosity to try vegan food and was very impressed how flavorful and fulfilling every h thing was. From the happy hour menu I got a slider and ceviche tostadas and I also ordered the clam chowder. My favorite ended up being the slider which was really tangy and rich. The chowder was tasty too but it was essentially a creamy, garlicky mushroom soup so don't have too much expectation that it tastes like clam chowder. The tostadas we're also good but they weren't as unique imo since tostadas usually have a lot of vegetables on top anyway so I'd try something else. Service and ambience was nice though it is a bit more noisy since it's in a bar. read more

Let me start off by saying the ambiance in Om Sabor is amazing - upscale, classy, dim lit with backlighting that gives it a very romantic feel. I tried the Ancho Teriyaki skewers and I was impressed. The food came out fresh, a great char on the skewers and the rice was authentically sticky. I wasn't a huge fan of the plating nor the sauce they drizzled on the plate before anything was placed on it but it's low hanging fruit. The restaurant wasn't that busy but service was good. To my surprise the happy hour schedule had been changed and really needs updating online. Overall well rounded experience, will be back for HH on weekday. read more

We visited Om Sabor to celebrate a friend's birthday and decided to try a few items from the menu. While the food was pretty delicious, the portions were quite small. For instance, the $27 lasagna was about the size of a palm--super petite! The ambiance, however, was really nice, with a cozy sit-down bar that seemed to focus more on offering bites rather than full entrée-sized dishes. If you're looking for a place with great vibes and tasty, albeit small, portions, Om Sabor is worth a visit. Just keep in mind that the portions might leave you wanting more! read more

For food alone, I'd give Om Sabor somewhere between four and five stars but the ungodly volume of the music and annoyingly trendy atmosphere makes it unlikely I'll eat there often. The salad was creative and delicious but the scene that prevented comfortable conversation has overwhelmed the food when I'm deciding where to eat. Also, the limited seating makes it so you have to hang out staring at other diners' meal status to try to nab a table without assistance from the staff. Also, the takeout version of the salad skimped on all the chief ingredients so it's not a win at the restaurant or at home. read more

If you are a vegan and want a fun happy hour, there is no better place in SF than Om Sabor. That being said, the flavor is also very good for vegetarians and non vegetarians. The happy hour menu is a huge hit with the taco flight which gives you a little taste of different types of plant based proteins! And the cocktails and mocktails are delightful. The service is friendly and quick. The ambiance is very unique with the dim lighting and Berkeley-esque vibes! read more

Om Sabor is such a welcome addition to the SF vegan scene. Not that they are brand new (as they were offering their foods for a while before Phonobar), but I'm so happy they have a permanent spot there. Om Sabor is just the right combination of great and well-presented food. The menu changes frequently, but you can't go wrong with anything they offer. I remember first experience having a loaded BBQ mac and cheese and it was heavenly. Another favourite was the potato cheese au gratin. These are dishes I once would have thought I'd never have vegan. But Om Sabor brings all of this to delicious life. As for the setting, phonebar is a nice combination of relaxed and stylish. It's good for a date, dinner with friends, or even a lovely dinner for one. So glad to enjoy Om Sabor in their space. read more

I came here on a Sunday night and came back later in the week because it was that good! All the dishes were delicious and service was quick so would definitely recommend. Overall would recommend every dish, especially the carne asada nachos, furikake crab cakes, and Mac and cheese croquettes. Only thing would be to skip on the apple Jack drink because it didn't really have any apple flavor and just tasted like sweet gin and tonic. But would 100% recommend for vegans and also non vegans!! read more

This bar/restaurant had such an interesting vibe with a live DJ on a Friday night. I appreciate an all vegan spot so much since I'm vegetarian. The drinks were good but not strong at all but very delicious, I feel like they could have been stronger for the high price. The food was all so small and a little overpriced for what jt is but it was good but not amazing. The service started off great, this wonderful woman was helping us until her manager took her off our table, normally this would be fine and the guy was kind to begin with. He was the manager and the kind woman kept checking in to make sure we had everything. We waited close to an hour for four out of our 6 food items to arrive so he came to our table and asked us what we were missing and my friend answered by listing all the items and he said to her (with attitude) "ok you need to calm down" and it took us all by surprise. I think immediately after we saw him regret what he said, he said he would comp all the items that came late and then brought out a dessert for free. I appreciate the immediate response to his tone but that should have never been the case. When the bill came we were never comped for all the items he said we would be comped for but whatever. I would definitely return but it's not gonna be a place I rave about. read more

As someone who can't eat gluten or large amounts of soy, I appreciate how clearly marked their menu is for gluten free, nut free, and soy free. I came here with my sweetie for a date night, and we enjoyed everything, though it looks like the menu just changed and has fewer gluten-free options than it did the other week (hence 4 stars instead of 5). I also appreciated that the bartender improvised a not-too-sweet non-alcoholic drink for me. read more

I went here for an evening date night with a girlfriend. This place is eclectic with live music and cool lights. They had an open dance floor and on a friday night, it was full of people on the floor and seated for dinner. Food was yummy and served quickly. Vegetarian tacos were absolutely delicious. Place Was a bit loud for conversations although we didn't enjoy the surprise element of live music and dance. read more

I was surprised at how delicious the food was. I often avoid vegan restaurants as I am allergic to many kinds of nuts, but the menu was really well labeled so I knew what I could and could not eat. It was also packed- definitely a cool restaurant for the young adults who are way more hip than me. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered multiple rounds of the mac and cheese croquettes the way people order multiple rounds of shots. The food was delicious, but portions were a bit small, so don't come if you're ravenously hungry. Also just generally, it's a bar, so it's a bit dark and there's some ambient music playing-- don't expect the vibes of a full scale sit-down restaurant. Service was great! read more

Hard to believe we were eating at a vegan restaurant, everything we had was so good, if anything it was almost too heavy, but my husband and I left very satisfied with our meals.

Drinks were also tasty, but we were too focused on how good the food was. Can't wait to come back! read more

This place was a great find. Really good happy hour menu. Good food and service. Surprised that it was all vegetarian ! It didn't seem like it would be. Enjoyed everything. Wouldn't recommend the olives. They are pitted olives and not especially good. But literally everything else was. We shared the paella and tostadas. I was on a dry day. But I want to go back and try some of the great looking cocktails. They have a mocktail menu too. My wife got one. It was a rosemary mocktail. She enjoyed it. The place itself is very cool and hip. They have a nice side room to hang with friends and enjoy drinks and outdoor space to eat too. Would recommend and would go back. read more

Hidden gem in Hayes valley, my daughter drove from San Jose to surprise me at this restaurant for Mother's Day. She's a big vegan, but I'm not but this little cute place certainly did not disappoint everything we had was delicious.

I love the food here! It is some of the better tasting vegan food around, but the seating sucks. I really think the owners or management just need to change out the low tables.

A trendy vegan restaurant and bar but a bit on the pricey side. My favorites were the clam chowder and the spanakopita. The clam chowder was thick and creamy, and the spanakopita pastry was perfectly flaky, with a yummy savory spinach and chesse filling. The ceviche tostadas were good not great, and a little unwieldy to eat. The atmosphere is great too. After 10pm the kitchen closes and they turn the music up in the back room/ DJ area. Overall definitely worth checking out! read more

Om Sabor makes me go Omgggg Sabor. They should add the extra g's to the name. Every dish here is worth texting your mom about. She'll say "that looks nice, honey!" and she'll really mean it. She said that about all my photos. The Mac and cheese was so good and creamy that it almost made me text my dad. He's a way tougher sell on food photos. The hibiscus flower tacos were so unique and flavorful and scrumptious that my estranged brother got a text. Now I kinda have to deal with that. Look at how beautifully everything is plated! Even the plating of the chik'n wings made me want to text my HS art teacher and apologize for trying to breeze through her class so that I could focus more on math. I wish I were an artist now so that I could more deeply appreciate the beauty going on with each plate. Order everything here and then use the pics as an excuse to talk to everyone in your life that you wish you could connect with on a deeper level read more

Something to know. Photo line and Am Sabor are located in same occupied space. Food is served by Am Savor and drinks by the other business. We got confused and were looking all over the place trying to find Am Sabor. Went inside and asked and they explained it's operational system. FOOD: - food was really good. - vegan kitchen - hibiscus taco is Devine!! Super delicious - got the Mac n cheese and it was really tasty and didn't feel heavy. - ordered the clam chowder and it was really good and heavy. Mushrooms are the clams. - ordered the apple dessert and was pleasured again **They really hit the mark by making vegan food taste like regular food without any bloating or heavy gas. No soy which made me happy. SERVICE: - service was questionable at first. The bartender couldn't figure out how to use "toast" to take our order - when we asked the girl barkeep what was the food made with (because we have soy sensitivity) she got flustered and couldn't really answer the questions. She was curt and shirt with us. She became nicer later on but not during the ordering process. AMBIANCE: - darker romantic ambiance - pretty and small - whole front is windows with tables there. - pretty small space for eating upfront but then there is a dark lounge-type room in back read more

Om Sabor is truly a gem! I've added it to my list of places to bring non-vegan friends and so far it's been a crowd pleaser. The service is swift and the servers are all very attentive and friendly. The vibes are moody and perfect for a few drinks with friends or a date night. Please note, they don't take reservations and open seating starts when they open at 5 pm. Live music and shows start later on, but this place definitely fills up quickly. You'll have groups scouting your table before you even finish. There is an extensive cocktail and mocktail menu, there was a red mocktail with cinnamon and hibiscus that was delicious! There is a rotating menu so there is always something fun and new to try. Order tapas style to get a little bit of everything! I've been here a few times and some of my favorites are the carne asada tacos, chicken tinga tostadas, mac and cheese croquettes, and the black sheep slider. Some things worth skipping (in my opinion) are the truffle mac and cheese, furikake crab cakes, and the au gratin. read more

Food and drinks were just okay; I only really liked the dessert. Should've been a 3 star review but the manager is oddly defensive and tried to gaslight me after my waitress asked me if there was a problem with the service when she saw I only selected a 15% tip. There was a problem, but not a major one. It was just a little hard to get a hold of anyone. I wasn't upset about it until she and the manager got so oddly defensive and confrontational about it. Will never come back. In hindsight, I really shouldn't have been surprised by the manager's behavior and I should've actually expected it because during my meal he loudly swore at a customer whom he told to leave. It was surprising but at the time I assumed he was just speaking to an unusually rude customer, but perhaps that exchange was more indicative of the manager's behavior rather than the customer's. read more

What a fantastic location and menu! On the way to the Opera with my husband and 9 year old and we wanted to grab a little bite. I was thrilled to find Phonobar and Om Sabor. The ambiance is dark yet inviting with great music, the menu was awesome! Completely vegan and notations on the menu of what is gluten free, soy free and nut free as well. Perfect for those of us who have allergies to wheat and nuts. The staff and servers here are wonderful and welcoming - even with a child (children allowed before 9pm). They have a great txakolina wine - something I don't see on menus very often. And the distance to the Opera or symphony can't be beat! Presentation of food is also lovely.

People of color, be warned. Our experience may differ from whites. I was asked to pay in advance when placing my order, which I found unusual, as I noticed that other tables were not required to do the same. This experience marked the first time I have felt discriminated against. As a college-educated Latino man, I was taken aback by the unwelcoming attitude of the staff, particularly the woman who served me. Her first words were, "Oh, want a menu?" and she did not greet me politely or make any effort to make me feel comfortable. I had hoped to enjoy a nice meal with my wife at a vegan restaurant in the city, but unfortunately, the service was disappointing, and the food was just average. I will not be returning, and I feel compelled to warn others, particularly fellow Latinos and people of color, to reconsider visiting this establishment. read more

Super tasty food, but honestly was really crowded and felt understaffed. Our waitress was nice but we didn't realize or were told it was open seating and the staff inside were kind of dismissive. Heres my take on the food: Truffle mac and cheese actually felt like it was missing a lot of flavor, i personally wouldnt get it again Nachos- so so delicious. the mexican cheese and pico were so tasty Apple pie- Literally the BEST apple dessert ive ever had. Has a custard filling and smoked caramel on the apples was absolutely delicious. read more

I wish I had listened to the other Yelp reviews complaining of terrible service at Phonobar. However, I was in the area for a performance and was dining with a friend who eats vegan, so I gave it a try--huge mistake. Let's get this out of the way: The food is fine, even very good. But it does not make up for the horrible service, which is the worst I have experienced anywhere. It was a busy night, so we were initially sat at a ledge near the door. This was okay, though chilly and people kept mistaking us for hosts. We also had to flag someone down to order. When a table opened up, we asked if we could move and the servers helped us. I had to ask for a spoon for my soup, but that was fine. This is--really, truly--all no big deal and I wouldn't mention it all, except it's relevant to the rest of this saga. Now the new table, our service basically slides to a halt. We had to ask twice for the rest of our items to arrive. The first time we had to ask was understandable--we'd moved tables and it was a busy night. The server asked what we'd ordered and we told her. Then we had to ask again--and, again, she asked what we'd ordered. By the time the last of our items hit the table, we were way behind schedule and asked for the check. The server presented us with the bill, which my friend quickly glanced at, paid, and signed. We finished our food and left in a rush to make our event. We were a block down the road when someone runs up behind us. It was the host, who waved his iPad in our faces and said, "Hi, yeah, you didn't pay your bill." My friend and I assumed this was a misunderstanding and told him that we did. "No, you didn't," he said angrily, again gesturing at the iPad. At this point, other people nearby are staring. He's making a scene. We keep telling him that we paid--he keeps saying "no" and rolling his eyes, getting more and more indignant. We explained to him again that we had paid the server when our food hit the table. "Which server did you pay?" His tone was FULL of accusation. We described the server. He demanded that we go back to the restaurant to sort this out. At this point, my friend and I are frustrated. The performance's doors close at 7:30 and we aren't sure if we'll make it now. On our way back, my friend explained this and said that, honestly, we hadn't been happy with the service. Instead of asking us why, he said aggressively, "I know you weren't happy with your first table, but it was a busy night." The initial table wasn't the problem, and it was so weird for him to assume that. I said that the table was fine, but that the food took a very long time, we'd had to ask for our items twice, and that now we were being chased down for a bill we'd already paid. Back at the restaurant, I encouraged my friend to pull up her bank statement. There was a charge from the restaurant. This was the bill we'd paid, which was about $20 less than the bill he'd claimed we skipped out on. Clearly, his server had made a mistake with the transaction. My friend showed him this charge. Instead of taking it off the bill, he told her that he would charge her for the second bill and then cancel that first charge. We got no apology, despite this being THEIR mistake--though he did say, "Hey, if you want to come back after the show, you can each have a drink on me." Uhhh, there is no way I'm going to come back after that! Also why not offer to take some drinks off of the tab he insisted on us paying? Or why not just let the $20 difference between bills go and admit a mistake? Aaaand we should have asked him to deduct the original payment from our tab--because, reader, are you surprised to learn that, a week later, both charges remain on my friend's card? If I could give negative stars, I would. Do yourself a favor: Trust the reviews and don't eat here--unless they move locations and/or overhaul their front-of-the-house staff. I hope they do. The food is good and the chefs in the back deserve better representation. read more
