Chicken rice bowl
Isaac L.

Had this via doordash once 2 years ago and have been coming ever since. Always a staple on our team and will keep going back here. The food is so so good and always packed to the brim. I normally can eat a lot, but with this I have to portion it out into two meals and it all tastes so freaking good. Will keep coming back! Love love the herb sauce - adds a nice boost in flavor

Sumac Salmon Rice Bowl

I'm obsessed with their salmon bowl and order it at least twice a week. The salmon is cooked and seasoned perfectly every time (always medium, never over-cooked like how so many of the other healthy restaurants serve it). The cabbage slaw, marinated beets, tomato and cucumbers and radish offer a ton of delicious, tangy fiber, all over perfectly cooked rice. Legitimately one of the few healthy bowls in SF that truly fills you up and has a ton of protein + veggies at a decent price.

Hummus
Divya S.

I ordered via grubhub so can't comment on service or atmosphere. But the food was 10/10. I got the hummus, muhammra, falafel. Hummus and Muhammra came with Bite sized pitas. I also got their hot sauce and it was fire!! Loved everything, great for vegetarians too!!

Falafel salad bowl
Jordan L.

Okay this place is DIVINE!!!! I loved the falafel. So tasty and moist. The hummus was so good as well as the salad and the pickled cabbage. The pink yogurt sauce was wildly good too that came with the pita. We ordered takeout which was perfect for a working day lunch. Will definitely be coming back here and have already been raving about to everyone I know.

Chicken Half & Half Bowl
Taylor B.

Can't speak to the experience at the location itself as I ordered delivery, but I was left feeling very impressed. Albeit a little pricey to have this delivered to me, it was enough food to feed me for 2 meals and was one of the best lunches I've had at work in a while. I got the half&half chicken bowl that came with choice of side (I got roasted veggies), and choice of sauce, along with pickled beets and red cabbage. I got the sumac lebneh hot sauce on the side, but truthfully, I was enjoying the food so much on its own that I forgot to use it until later in the meal. This bowl was HUGE, I should have read the website prior as it was 48oz of food and lasted me through lunch and dinner that day. Everything tasted fresh and I felt good eating it. I will absolutely order from here again!

Double Pistachio Baklava (2 pcs)
Tahnee R.

This place was pretty good! It took about 10-15 mins to recieve our order as there were other people waiting and online orders. My chicken bowl was delicious and would definitely get it again. The only downside would be the pricing, I think it was like $8 for the two small pieces of baklava which were overly sweet. You can get 6 for that price elsewhere.

Boudin - Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread Bowl

Boudin

3.8(4.7k reviews)
0.6 mi•Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach/Telegraph Hill
•$$

After 20 years of ordering it, Boudin's havarti bread is apparently no longer served. I was told…read morethat you can't get it off-menu, either. It's a huge disappointment since it was a true specialty. Instead I got a Meat Lover's Pizza with hot honey and it was very good. Their sourdough dough was excellent and it was generously topped with pepperoni, sausage and red Pappadew peppers. (p.s. Would have gotten the havarti bread in addition). This location is always packed, but the line moves efficiently. There's a lot of covered seating outside, but it's still windy.

Very Disappointing Experience -- Definitely Won't Be Back…read more The clam chowder was just okay, with barely any clams in it. The only thing I really enjoyed was the lobster roll. The lobster tasted very fresh, but the portion was surprisingly small for the price. What really bothered me was the 4% employee benefit surcharge added to the bill without clearly informing customers beforehand. Since when are customers expected to cover employee benefits without being told upfront? If you're going to charge an additional fee, at least be transparent about it. To make matters worse, their outdated payment system didn't even allow me to see an itemized breakdown of the charges on the credit card machine. The service was nothing special either. The server seemed more interested in taking my order quickly and getting me out of there. And the restroom situation was ridiculous. This is a large establishment, yet when I asked the staff about a restroom, I was directed to use the public restroom outside. Later, someone told me there was actually a restroom upstairs. If that's true, why wasn't I informed of that option when I asked? It was confusing and frustrating. Between the mediocre food, small portions, unexpected surcharge, indifferent service, and frustrating restroom experience, this place simply wasn't worth it for me. The fresh lobster was the one highlight, but it wasn't enough to make up for everything else.

Fire & Ice has the ambiance of a restaurant I'd expect in an 80's arcade with bright primary…read morecolors, long booths, and a bit of a garish decor. That said, it is absolutely perfect for families looking to spend a reasonable price while being a tourist on the waterfront. I was with a friend and we just wanted drinks. I ordered an espresso martini while my friend bounced between a few drinks. Was it a strong drink? No, but it drank like adult chocolate milk and I was in love. Seriously, I thought I could not beat the price point and the delicious cocktail. And honestly I am glad it didn't pack a punch because I could drink a couple of these reasonably priced cocktails (by what I am accustomed to) and still walk around feeling relaxed and amiable. Our server initially seemed uncertain and perhaps a little exhausted. Once we explained we were here to get off our feet and drink he immediately relaxed and seemed much more open to us. A bright smile would flash across his face as he came by asking us how we were versus the downcast head he had initially. Considering the table behind us looked like a toddler decided to recreate a Jackson Pollock painting with ketchup and mustard I can only guess what happened earlier. He was lovely. I enjoyed it and while I wouldn't search it out I would t protest going back!

Save your money and walk a few blocks to Supreme Crab instead. For around the same price, they…read moreoffer AYCE Cajun seafood with crab legs, crawfish, garlic noodles, and a lot more variety. That's actually where we originally wanted to go, but unfortunately, they were closed that night. Came here for dinner on a Monday night with 2 adults and 2 kids. Most of the tables were empty, although the bar area was a little busier. I honestly don't understand how this place has such a high rating. I had been wanting to try it after seeing it all over Instagram, but unfortunately, I won't be back. Pros: Beautiful view, decent service, they cook the food right in front of you, and the concept itself is fun. Cons: The price and lack of variety. AYCE is $35 per adult and $19 per kid, which I think is outrageous for what you actually get. The options were basically a bunch of noodles, hot dogs, burger meat, shrimp, clams, and a sauce bar. For seafood, shrimp and clams were pretty much it. I really wish they offered more options because that would at least help justify the price. The noodles were also really bland. It would've been nice to have things like cheese, salad, or more toppings and proteins to make different combinations. Look at the pictures... our bill was around $130 for the four of us, and we basically ended up with four plates of noodles, hot dogs, and clams. Paying that much for what felt like mostly noodles just wasn't worth it to me. The concept has potential, but for $35 AYCE, there needs to be a lot more variety.
