    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!

    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!

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
