This place is an absolute gem. And if you blink, you'll miss it! Situated on a hill, you'll have a nice view while you wait! The staff were lovely and everyone seemed really happy to help even though they were incredibly busy. But the salad. Oh my gosh the salad. I grabbed the bag and headed to the park. When I pulled it out of the bag, I was shocked to see how much they packed in the bowl! I couldn't believe the portion size. Ot was one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten in my life. This was the perfect picnic food. Highly recommend!

Awesome delivery experience to my hotel. Healthy food is challenging to find on vacation, and this exceeded my expectations!

When I was taking a walk toward Fisherman's Wharf, I noticed a crowd had gathered at the corner of Leavenworth and Union. I wasn't aware that they were all patronizing the nondescript shop, but the large takeout salads I saw piqued my curiosity. I came back a few weeks later, and it was just as busy. It was a bit confusing at first because I didn't see a menu. I walked up to the register and saw there were three different menus for three separate businesses - Saucy Greens for salad bowls, Soupchu for soups and stews, and Sumac for Middle Eastern bites. I was here for a salad but also got a soup which I reviewed separately (review: https://bit.ly/3ZHvo9c). I decided on the $15 Vibrant Salad. They slathered the plastic container with a spicy dip called muhammara. It was made of walnuts, red peppers, pomegranate molasses, and breadcrumbs. Then the salad itself was stacked in starting with the mixed greens followed by beets, marinated feta, fennel, pickled onions, and spiced sunflower and pumpkin seeds (photo: https://bit.ly/3mO6hmE). It was quite an abundant serving which I took away and trundled down the steep hill to Francisco Park. It was there at one of the blocky picnic tables that I noticed the server forgot my utensils. I asked specifically for a fork and a spoon for the soup, but I didn't think to confirm their presence in the bag. It was too daunting to climb the hill, so I had to take my food, walk up Polk Street, beg for a fork from another cafe, and find another park to eat. It was tasty but man... FOOD - 4 stars...quite a mammoth salad well assembled, healthy and full of flavor AMBIANCE - n/a...a moot point since the space was not set up for dining SERVICE - 2 stars...nice but chaotic and uncoordinated...they even asked if I needed utensils TOTAL - 4 stars...great salad bowl hampered by missing utensils...bring your own spork!

Objects are smaller than it looks but the salad is big and packed. Who thought of opening a place with just a window and the inside is an assembly line kitchen. There's got to be 10 workers in there. There are packages of bags ready for pickup. Two Uber eats drivers waiting for their orders at 7 pm. Car had to circle before their order was ready. Why is it on a corner on top of the hill? With no parking. No seating. But apparently their business is doing great. What business model do they have? Somebody got to write them up and get a background story. They have one like this in Los Angeles. The Vibrant salad $15 was delicious. This is California, we have the best fruits and veggies. I can't include all the ingredients, probably at least 10 . Marinated onions us delicious. Add some pumpkin seed nuts for a crunch. Cubes of beets. Muhammara (roasted red pepper sauce, a little kick. Kale. Yummy. I had to try the banana pudding $9. Good banana flavor

Only doing takeout/to go orders! Pro tip is def to order ahead because they are cranking out orders so the wait can be a little even though it's just salad/soup. The smell of the place is incredible. The food smells so so good and waiting outside for your food is dangerous. Ordered the passion salad but asked for vegetarian so they switched to muhummara and also got the red lentil soup. Portion size was great and both really tasted so fresh and good.

Awake Salad

If you think salads are boring, you haven't had Saucy Greens! They serve the most fresh and vibrant salads for such a reasonable price. I love that each salad comes with a homemade spread and is packed full of toppings. Eating one of these salads keeps me full for almost the whole day, but protein add-ons are available if you're extra hungry. My favorite is the Awake salad - it comes with spicy potato spread, organic egg, marinated feta, cucumber, pickled onion, pickled apricot, and spiced sunflower and pumpkin seeds with kale and romaine. So delicious! It's an explosion of flavors and textures, in the best way.

ordered pick up from here, definitely a very unique salad spot to check out. I got a custom bowl and added multiple hummus options/sauces. I loved the sumac sauce (it's a pink one) - very flavorful. I wasn't a huge fan of the falafels - they are orange in color and tasted very different from typical falafels. Was happy with portion size - huge salads for the price. Overall would suggest trying this spot if you are a fan of colorful/unique salad combinations. Would give this place a 3.5 - rounding to 4 for the good customer service.

Awake Salad; WOW
Maria W.

This review is going to be simple and sweet. Visit this place!!!!!! I got the Awake Salad, recommended to me by the kind lady taking orders in the front window of the shop, a little space on the top of a hill in the Russian Hill district. And I'm so glad she did; it was a nourishing, filling, beautiful salad that made me feel like I could run a hundred miles after scarfing it down. I love a salad that is heaped with a huge diversity of ingredients and this one fit the bill for sure. You can peer into the shop and see everyone packing up orders and it just seems like such a vibe. So clean. So fresh. I'll be back when I'm in the area!

Order here!

Saucy Green=Sumac Istanbul Street Food I was confused at first looking for a restaurant called Saucy Greens when I only saw Sumac. Do not be fooled, this is the place you are looking for. I arrived at peak lunch time and is very busy and efficient. Place your order on their website for fast pickup. I placed my order at the front door but was kindly encouraged to use a more contemporary approach! ;). There is no indoor service or seating what so ever. Your order will be packed to go. Salad review: Herb Passion Salad with added Lentil Balls ($14+$5) Worth every penny! Citrus massaged kale and Romain greens, chopped apricots, toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, chickpeas, sliced radishes, marinated red pepper and onion, a gentle cumin sprinkling, with a tzatziki style dressing! Boom! Plus the lentil balls are slightly spicy topped with onions caramélisés! EXCELLENT balance of harmonious flavors all around!

Such pretty salads. Recently got their awake salad via delivery while working and yeah, I feel great after eating it. It's fresh, vibrant, and delicious.

Vibrant Salad
Koreen D.

If there's something that SF does well, it's salads. And this is one of the best and most filling ones I've had. Got the vibrant salad with a side of chicken. Came with pickled onions, beets, fennel, feta, etc. This was humongous and I struggled to finish it. So tasty and fanatic though. Also came with muhammara at the bottom and side and honestly made it so much better. The chicken on the side was very flavorful, tender, and juicy - heavily spiced with middle eastern spices. Totally worth it and so much better compared to what you would get at Sweetgreen

The salads look great but the flavor was a bit average. We also thought that the chicken soup was quite bland.

The Boys' Deli is a small market stocked with snacks and grab-and-go treats, but the real highlight…read moreis the sandwich counter in the back. Service was efficient and friendly, and the ordering process is straightforward. You choose a base sandwich, pick your bread, and customize it with their selection of veggies. We got the Sanfranpsycho with all the veggies and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend the Dutch crunch bread. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well put together, exactly what I look for in a great sandwich.

You start in the back toward the center to place your order, then move to line up on the left side to pick it up and add toppings to hot sandwiches. After that, you bring everything to the front to pay. Quite few people, us included, were a little unsure where to go next. The sandwiches made up for it. I got the tri tip special with garlic butter and swapped the Swiss for pepperjack. The meat was sliced thin and really tender, and the garlic butter a perfect addition. I'm not usually big on sauces, but they have a good variety of house options if that's your thing. We'll definitely be back. I was also happy to see they have another location in San Bruno.

I am still thinking about this meal and that says everything you need to know…read more My friend and I both got the chicken kebab plate -- subbed the rice for extra salad and added a side of falafel and everything was cooked to absolute perfection. No notes. Let's talk about the chicken because it deserves its own moment. The flavor was incredible, it had this beautiful char on it that gave it just the right smokiness, and somehow it was still perfectly moist throughout. It's the kind of chicken that reminds you what chicken is supposed to taste like. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The falafel was equally delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. It's the kind of side order that could easily be the main event on its own. Ordering was smooth and easy through their self-order kiosk, the staff was great, and the space was really clean and all the little things that make a lunch spot feel like a place you want to keep coming back to. If you're looking for Mediterranean done right in SF, do not sleep on Hummus Mediterranean Kitchen. Everything we ordered was a winner and I'm already planning my next visit.
