    Pulled Pork Sandwich on a ciabatta
    Kathy L.

    I've worked in the area for the past 2 years and only now have I come across this sandwich place by word of mouth. It's fast casual, line up and the find an open place to sit to eat. The line gets long at the noon rush, but moves quickly. Easy to walk right past because first glance it looks like a wine bar and I had no idea they served food (soups, salads and sandwiches). Walk up to the counter and place your sandwich order--they'll call you when it's ready. I ordered the pulled pork on a ciabatta and while it doesn't look like much, it is packed with meat and I wasn't even able to finish the sandwich; half was very filling and tasted great. The prices are reasonable for the area.

    One of my go-to lunch spot when working in SF. Great place for a quick and healthy working lunch. Two of my favorites: Baked Salmon Green Goddess Salad 4.5/5 New Greek Salad 4/5 Portion is good for its price. Would love to try their sandwiches in the future

    New Greek Salad

    Great place to eat if you live or work in SF downtown. This place was introduced to us by one of our coworkers and quickly became team's favorite place for lunch. My favorite here is Greek salad and roasted eggplant sandwich.

    Since working remotely there have been two San Francisco lunch spots that I have missed and SOMA Eats is one of them. They have a limited menu but what they have has been consistently great. My all time favorite is the Baked Salmon Green Goddess Salad. The Salmon is seasoned and cooked perfectly and the salad is flavorful and satisfying. The service from the staff has always been top notch. I was recently back in the office and brought a co-worker for lunch and it was as good as I always remembered. They also have a really awesome beer selection. If you are in the area you definitely need to check it out.

    Stopped here for a casual lunch on a weekday with a friend and had a pretty good experience. I got an Asian salad with grilled shrimp, blood orange, pickled onions, edamame, avocado, and greens. All the ingredients tasted super fresh and came together very well. A bit pricey than what I would have liked, but this is downtown SF and the ambience was nice even though it's a fast-casual place, so no complaints.

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich

    Soma eats served me with a beautiful presentation of my salad and sandwich! My salmon was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning,so delicious! The establishment was so nice and cutesy and felt like an oasis in the busy city.

    Lentil Protein Bowl
    Aditi M.

    I ordered the vegetarian eggplant sandwich this time which was not up to the mark - it was good but not the best, I felt like it was loaded which vegetables but was missing some dressing which would make it phenomenal. But, I enjoyed it. And, the lentil protein bowl here is delicious if you haven't tried.

    Turkey meatloaf sandwich with soup on the side.
    Jenny H.

    Great place to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch. You can grab & go or order in front and eat in. You'll usually get a seat quickly. Favorite: TURKEY MEATLOAF SANDWICH, $10.95 Indian-spiced turkey meatloaf with Peppadew peppers and arugula, spiced garlic aioli spread on toasted ciabatta. Delicious bread (toasty & easy to bite into). There's a hint of spiciness. The meatloaf is incredibly moist and rich in flavor. Such a great sandwich! You should get this with their soup of the day. This meal tastes 10x better during the winter. It'll definitely warm you up!

    Baked Salmon Greek Goddess Salad

    Fresh food + clean and trendy space = great lunch. SOMA seemed to be the go-to spot for all the business folk on their lunch hour. It was packed and had pretty limited seating, yet somehow my big group managed to move through the line quickly and all find seats together at the bar. Their menu was packed but not overwhelming. There is easily something for everyone. I normally wouldn't get salmon at a grab and go lunch spot (it is usually just overcooked and nothing special) but this place seemed like one to trust. I got the Baked Salmon Greek Goddess Salad. Both the name and the dish were equally a mouthful. It came on a bed of romaine with shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and fresh avocado. The salmon was wonderful and cooked just perfectly. The dressing came in a little dish on the side and was a little creamier than I would normally opt for but nonetheless, made for a tasty salad. The only thing I would have liked is if the salad actually came chopped and mixed, with the salmon on the top, as opposed to everything in piles on top of the romaine. It makes for an awkward meal, having to cut and mix your own salad in a bowl that isn't very convenient for the task. It's a little thing, not a huge deal at all. And to be honest, the staff was so nice and accommodating that if I asked them to do this, I am very sure they would have. Next time I stop in, I'll have to remember to do so. I always would rather sit at a table so it's easy to talk to everyone rather than a bar but Wednesday 12:00 in Fidi, beggars can't be choosers. This was definitely not a bad option at all. The bar was beautiful and clean and you weren't bumping elbows with the person next to you. It was a great meal at a good price and next time I am in town, it will be in my rotation for lunch spots for sure.

    I love this place! My friend recommended it a couple years back and I've been going ever since. It's your daily salad, sandwich, soup, chocolate chip cookie kinda place but amped up with the whole sustainable product kick. I always got their salmon goddess salad which is super fresh but now they have hot bowls! I love their chicken pomegranate bowl with carrot slaw, spinach, couscous, and of course a couple of pomegranates for decoration Yum!

    YUM. SOMA is the main stomping grounds for lunch for all corporate offices in a five mile radius of Downtown San Fran. Since most seating is typically packed with fellow lunch-goers, this is the perfect spot for a quick grab-and-go. SOMA has limited seating, quick service, and an assortment of trendy + health conscious beverages. For example, one of my coworkers ordered blue Mermaid Lemonade! For my meal I ordered the Spicy Pulled Pork Sandwich, and removed the spicy coleslaw since I'm a huge wuss. The sandwich was served on a fluffy ciabatta bun with juicy pulled pork. Unfortunately, since I removed the coleslaw, the sandwich was slightly dry (my fault), so I added a little bit of their salad dressing. This addition made the meal delicious and I would love to return in the future to try a few more menu options.

    New Greek Salad to-go
    Nancy C.

    SOMA eats is one of my go-to lunch spots in this area. I always get a salad here because the New Greek Salad and Greek Goddess Salads are solid. Portion sizes are also pretty big. Pro-tip: you can replace the salmon in the Green Goddess Salad with pork, meatloaf, or lamb. They offer a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, and beers. Great spot for a healthy-ish lunch. Beware though as it gets super packed during lunch rush so you might want to beat it if you plan on dining in. Also a big fan of their cookies, it's delish!

    I came in specifically for the seasonal items and let me tell you... mission fully accomplished…read more My two picks were the Sonoma Salad and the Bangkok Bowl, and WOW -- both delivered in totally different (but equally amazing) ways. If you're craving something refreshing, light, and fruity, the Sonoma is a must. The pears take it to the next level and give it that perfect sweet, crisp bite that makes every forkful feel extra refreshing. It's the kind of bowl you order when you want to feel bright and satisfied. Now if you're in the mood for something warm, crunchy, and nutty, the Bangkok Bowl is your girl. The texture, the richness, the cozy vibes -- chef's kiss. It's hearty without being heavy and hits all the comfort-food notes. And can we talk about portions?! These bowls are NO joke. I swear I made a huge dent in mine, looked down thinking I was almost done... only to realize I basically still had a whole second meal left. Instant take-home win. On top of all that, the staff is super friendly, the space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels good from start to finish. I came for the seasonal menu but I'll definitely be back for everything else too. If you're debating what to order: Sonoma for fresh + fruity, Bangkok for warm + crunchy -- you truly can't go wrong!

This is the salad we wish we could have everyday. The main part of the restaurant is your standard table and booth situation, but off to the side is a darker, cozier arrangement of plush chairs and couches. The tables are a bit low and awkward to eat at, but the ambiance is immaculate. You can even get beer and wine here to complete the vibe. I will always love a MIXT salad. The ingredients are fresh, well-prepared, and fairly portioned. You can eat well and healthily and it's not unreasonably priced. I still mourn the loss of the green Goddess dressing... But I'll keep coming back regardless. It's that good.

I realized I had not added seating accommodation to my reservation and tried to call, but no one answered. When we arrived, the hostess told us we would not be able to sit in any of the currently empty booths because reservations were coming in later. We were seated at a table off the dining space near the kitchen, my mom was a little too chilly and the booth didn't have enough neck support. I expressed to the host that though I was sorry I had forgotten to add accommodation, that this was just not the way to handle the problem. I was able to speak to the manager, who had been outside taking orders and was clearly working very hard that day. (Her name is quite uncommon so I'm just going to call her M, but I really appreciate your help!) She asked me what my concern was, and I told her, at which point she asked me to wait nearby while she figured out if she could rearrange some tables for us. The bartender was incredibly kind and served me while I waited, and distracted me from imminent tears by sharing intricate details about each drink he was making. I learned do they have a myriad of health oriented cocktails, with ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and aloe liqueur. The manager returned and said that she had already seated my mother in a new space and escorted me to the table, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the meal. At the beginning of the menu, they list the ingredients that are currently in season, and at the back of the menu, there is a color wheel, telling you the benefits of the colors of food. (Purple foods can assist with memory and brain function!). We ordered the asparagus, which was in season, spicy cucumber, and the Aji grill for two. The tofu that came with the grill for two was my favorite thing that we ate. I think you can judge a vegan / vegetarian restaurant by their treatment of tofu. Perfectly seasoned with a crispy outside and I would come back just for this. The cauliflower steak was also pretty tasty. The cocktails are excellent, we tried the BLACKPINK and my mother tried the espressotini and we were really happy with both. I don't know how popular their bar scene is, but I imagine it would be a nice way to meet other vegan and vegetarian folks over light bites. Our waiter Daniel made sure to give us the Mother's Day special dessert the restaurant had created, which was an avocado Grenache with fresh berries. If the experience had started with less stress, this review would be five stars, but I'm very grateful to the staff for doing what they could to correct it and ensure that we had a great Mother's Day! I would love to visit again and update my review :)
