    Lamb & Beef Gyro Wrap, Classic Hummus, and Vegan Gyro Rice Bowl
    Jenn G.

    We came to grab some dinner at The Bite before a concert. What we ordered: Classic Hummus with Pita Bread, Lamb & Beef Gyro Wrap, and Vegan Gyro Rice Bowl. Everything comes in to-go containers with plastic utensils. You order first with the person at the front counter or through a screen inside. The food was delicious! The gyro wrap and rice bowl each come with three sauces: orange sauce, yogurt sauce/salad dressing, and hot sauce. The food didn't need the additional sauces on its own, but if you try them together, the sauces enhance the flavor. All three dishes had just the right amount of seasoning as well. The staff was kind and checked in on us multiple times. Please note that there are no trash cans inside, so the staff helped us throw our dishes away. An unexpected hidden place with surprisingly delicious food! I would definitely come back and try more dishes from them.

    We came here for dinner because they had clearly labeled vegan options. We got the vegan gyro wrap (which has tofu), vegan falafel wrap, an order of classic humus, and fries. The food tasted fresh and delicious! The food also came out pretty quick! The people working here were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. There is a decent amount of seating inside this place. Overall, this is a great spot for vegan Mediterranean food!

    Chicken Gyro Wrap

    We're regulars at The Bite and get takeout from here all the time. Our go to orders are the lamb and beef gyro and the chicken gyro, and we always add the fries, which are super flavorful and crispy. The portions are generous and the meat is always well seasoned and cooked just right. Our other favorite is the house made chocolate cake, which is rich and decadent, the perfect way to end the meal. We've ordered this combo many times over the years and it's always been consistent, quick, healthy, and good value. The staff are friendly and the orders are always ready fast.

    The neighborhood is still very sketchy unfortunately. Haven't been back in quite sometime. Inside is clean and chill environment. I was the only one there at the early dinner at 18:00 but plenty of to go orders. Vegan gyro wrap. It looked like it suffered from shrinkflation. Tasted good but was super soggy. Hard to eat. Maybe just do the rice bowl next time. Classic hummus appetizer. Finished this after gyro and helped fill me up. Pita was soft and enough for the serving. Everything is served in to go containers which likely helps cleanup. Nice they are opened late though it's likely I'll ever be there then, but nice for delivery.

    Chicken kebab bowl
    Andrew P.

    Very tasty chicken bowl here! The kebab was truly delicious, well seasoned and cooked (though a little dry), the rice was well-textured and tasty. The sauces were saucy and the salad on the side was a great contrast. My main complaint and reason I won't back as frequently is probably the price tag ($23 for a bowl ouch for not all that much food). Otherwise, this is a very clean and comfortable space and the service was friendly!

    Lamb and beef wrap

    Friendly staff and quick service. Had the beef and lamb wrap. Meat was flavorful and the sauces were good. Pretty simple decor clean. Wasn't too crowded on Saturday afternoon.

    The place was okay. It's interesting they don't have trash can to throw away your own garbage (they do tell you it's okay to leave it on the table, but I can see how people walking in could just walk in and see fresh/leftovers on the table, had I seen that I probably would've walked out fearing sanitary and cleanliness) The hummus came with 4 pieces of bread and wasn't anywhere enough to eat it with the amount of hummus I got. I had to order additional bread. The fries honestly were very bland, and had no salt/taste to it. Thankfully I was given ketchup packets. The grilled chicken breast rice bowl was okay. Nothing too memorable about it. Thankfully it wasn't dry. For the prices on the menu I wasn't impressed. I'd come here if I wanted something easy and to go once or for work if I worked nearby but I couldn't go outa my way to come here again. The employees were nice however.

    Chicken Gyro Wrap

    The Bite is great for what its name suggests; as a quick and yummy grab-and-go meal. The service is quick, and the prices reasonable for the city. Here's what we got: Mighty Kale Salad: delicious, with tons of variety in flavor and texture. The beets and tangerines seem like they come from a can, however, so it doesn't seem like the most farm-fresh salad (if that matters to you). Still delectable though! Falafels (4 Pieces): Yum. I liked the sauce. Chicken Gyro Wrap: good. In my opinion, the plentiful flavor, spices, and sauce saves it though, since the chicken itself is a bit dry. I'd still order it again. The Bite Fries (with paprika, garlic, feta cheese): I wish there was more cheese on them, but they were so yummy and spiced regardless, I really couldn't complain. A great accompany to the wrap.

    If I could give more stars, I would! Tasty food and huge portions. Order different dishes and share! The service was friendly and fast!! It's a little noisy, but that's street noise. The interior is quaint and quiet. It was very easy to talk to other members of my party without raising my voice or repeating words.

    We went here on a Saturday night, and we had a party of 8 plus a baby, and this place did not disappoint on space! It wasn't very busy and service was fast and friendly -, also if I could say one thing about this place 'ONLY EAT HER IF YOU LIKE SPICY FOOD'. The food was amazing! And pretty spicy. Which is great if you love spicy food like we do. Anyways, I actually didn't know that this place would be spicy until we went as a family, and the baby wouldn't eat the food because it was "spicy". Anyways, alls good. Also, I would HIGHLY recommend that you come here in the DAY, NOT NIGHT. Because there are shady people in this place at night, since it's San Francisco and it's always shady at night. But anyways, price wise it's typically what you'd expect in San Francisco and we had a great time. Five stars.

    Street view with lots of yummy dishes: Beef and chicken kebabs with grilled veggies, lentil soup, rice and salad..

    This is a Turkish gem in the heart of San Francisco. I took my guest there and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the great hospitality. They serve delicious kebabs, specialty dishes, yummy mezzes, tasty salads and soups; especially lentil...After the nice meal, we enjoyed the complimentary Turkish tea..Definitely worth to try and we will be back! Afiyet olsun!..

    For lunch I ordered this very unassuming bean salad but it was an absolute hit for me. Beans' Family: kidney beans, pinto beans, garbanzo, red onions, bell peppers, corn, sumac, and house dressing. For someone trying to eat healthy and have a light lunch, this is for you! I was surprised on how much flavor came through and how fresh the salad was! I think the sumac with tangy dressing really brought it all together. I like that they used compostable packaging. I def will order from them again for lunch!

    Oh my word this place really hits all the marks! The service was quick and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. It's a quick stop style restaurant and it's super clean. The owners take good care of the place and great to stop if you're eating solo. Definitely recommend!

The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette.

The food was perfectly prepared and the presentation was so appealing, with the little touches of Thai hospitality. My first breakfast was the Meat Lover's Omelet with House Potatoes. Tasty and it really hit the spot. Great coffee too! Dinner consisted of a flavorful beef Mussamun chili dish. Awesomely tender beef in a savory sauce. A Stella Artois worked well for my drink. My second breakfast was a Belgian Waffle with Chicken Apple Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. Perfection, with fruit accents of banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Thanks to the chefs and servers at Lapisara! I'm a big fan now.

We came for lunch on a Monday and ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, two pastas and the burrata salad, and every single dish was excellent. The pastas in particular were incredible, but even the appetizers and salads were thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend Bottega for both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

For some reason, I thought this was a regular restaurant with table service, and a much larger space, but it's a somewhat narrow space and you order at the counter. I decided to try their trio sampler plate so I could get an idea of how a few of their meats were prepared and they each were in their own mini-arepa, so I thought that would be a good introduction. Unfortunately, I didn't like the arepas as much as I thought I would. I found them to be a little dry and lacking that rich corn masa flavor I was expecting. I don't know if this has to do solely with Pica Pica or if it's simply how arepas are made in general, but I came away feeling like I preferred other foods with a corn base such as tamales and pupusas. Meat-wise I had the fried chicken, the shredded beef and the asado negro. The fried chicken, to me, was not very exciting. The shredded beef was good, tasty, but the asado negro was the absolute star of it all? As far as I'm concerned, it's a most delicious cut of brisket with a sweet tomato sauce. I wish I had ordered more. The platanos or fried plantains were not like maduros that are very sweet. They're a little dry and flavorless, and the side order that I got of them for $7.50, they sure don't give you all that many. so that was a bummer for me. I also tried two flavors of what essentially are aguas frescas, the passion fruit and the mango. The passion fruit was out of this world! The mango, don't bother. It tasted like water with a powdered mix. I will definitely be back -- unfortunately, not for the arepas, but for the asado negro, either as a plate with rice & beans or in a salad.

I liked the cachapas with pulled pork so much more than the arepa with shredded beef. The pulled pork portion was huge and very juicey and delicious! The combination of sweet corn and savory pork was incredible. It's a bit weird though there are was half an uncut avocado just sitting inside the sweet corn crepe. The salad that came was also fresh, and I enjoyed the all the sauces that came with it. The white arepa we had was dry and uninteresting. I liked the plantains and the beef fillings too but the cachapas just couldn't beat. When we asked for to-go they put it in a brown bag. They didn't include any utensils so I suggest getting them if you want to eat somewhere else.

I researched some potential places beforehand, and Otra was one that seemed especially promising. I walked into a nearly empty restaurant and sat at the bar. It was a Monday night, so understandably the vibe was a little less than exciting. But I didn't make the trek for the vibe. I made it for some delicious food. Some of the best reviews mentioned the carnitas tacos, so I had planned on getting those after seeing them on the online menu. But to my surprise, the menu I was given at the restaurant didn't even list carnitas tacos. Then, the bartender also told me that they did not have beef or chicken. I was pretty shocked, considering those proteins make up a significant portion of the menu. He did, however, say that they had quesabirria. Because I generally love quesabirria, that's what I went with. $14 for two is pretty normal in my experience, so the price didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was how watered down and lacking in flavor the consomé was. To me, that's the star of the dish, and without a bold, flavorful consomé, the tacos themselves really have to bring the flavor. Unfortunately, these didn't. I also ordered a frozen prickly pear margarita made with mezcal. This was pretty good if you're a mezcal person. Needless to say, I was disappointed that I made the trek into the city specifically for this restaurant and left feeling pretty underwhelmed. I had heard that Otra is closing in December, so I wanted to try it before it did. I can't imagine this is what Otra was like in its heyday, or it probably wouldn't have survived as long as it has. I wish I had been around to try it then, because based on my experience now, it just wasn't worth the trip.
