    If you're on the hunt for a good price and a generous serving, you've come to the right place! They've recently expanded and are now connected next door, so you can enjoy your meal in. I would say their rice to protein ratio is slightly not balance but you'll definitely be full!

    2 Piece Spam Musubi
    Lizzie S.

    Wonderful and kind husband-and-wife-owners. I came here two days in a row! Looking for an Il Canto-like meat lovers burrito? V Cafe has a very similar one. It's grilled to perfection and had a lot of meat! Great flavors and sauce and so filling. They also have boba and spam musubi and other breakfast sandwiches and snacks and items. I liked my taro milk tea--boba bubbles and good consistency and flavor. They're pretty popular on doordash. Will keep coming back!

    A hole in a wall nestled between the FiDi & Chinatown! Quick and easy self service kiosk with lovely service; everytime I'm here for a quick bite I'm never left unsatisfied. This time around I went to get their poke and I have to say that it's one of the best around the downtown area. The portions are filling and generous, the toppings? FRESH (please get the mangos, they're in season... sweet and juicy!!) A large bowl comes around ~$17.50 which is fair for the city and will leave you feeling full and happy! They also have interesting sando options and burritos like a shrimp and cheese one ( a review for another day)

    Ham Avocado Burrito. The portion was huge but I appreciate fresh-tasting ingredients even more (avocado, ham, eggs, cheese, sauce)
    Da V.

    What a positive surprise. I enjoyed a breakfast ham and avocado burrito (comes with cheese and house sauce) and it was delicious! The portion was bigger than expected. I am always worried with the breakfast foods - but here, the eggs, ham and the avocado tasted really fresh! The service was fast and friendly. It's a tiny place with three tables. The place radiance confidence (from the inside) that the food is prepared well and that the place is clean. This review is based on a single visit, breakfast.

    Salmon Sashimi Onigiri
    Crystal Y.

    Simple order of a salmon sashimi onigiri. Taste and price were not bad I wish it was just easier to eat lol. Service was also fast and the owners are super friendly when you walk in the store. It's a quick order type of place, not too many tables and chairs.

    Poké Bowl (2 protein)
    Amy L.

    Poke bowls have been getting more and more expensive now with bowls reaching closer to $20 after tax. V Cafe is the only place where bowls are closer to $15-$16 AND their bowls are PACKED with toppings. Their bowls are big and are filled to the brim. They have many topping available and do not restrict you on how much to you get. Their sauces are really good too. Overall, the bowl is very tasty and has enough food for 2 meals for me! I always get their rose lychee drink as well!

    I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and a chicken chipotle burrito. Coffee was really good strong just like I like my Vietnamese coffee. There was one girl serving I was the only one there so it wasn't too long until I got my order. I was concerned when the chicken was microwaved but I guess it's no different when you go to subway and they warm up the chicken. The burrito could have had more veggies it was a little dry but the chipotle sauce on the side made the dish. It was pricey for the two items almost $20. No table seems to a to go spot only. Right on the corner. I was there early so traffic hadn't picked up yet. Cute little spot

    They have a variety of options for breakfast and lunch! There are sandwiches, burritos, poke bowls and different drinks. Ordered: - breakfast sandwich: I usually get their breakfast sandwich (you can choose between croissants, bagel or toast) and add the fillings that you want. It comes with chipotle sauce, which adds a slightly spicy kick. I've also tried their breakfast burrito, which is a big portion cut in half. You can also choose the fillings. Overall, great spot to grab breakfast or lunch! They have food and drinks at a very reasonable price-point. It's mostly for takeout but they have two tables available outside. The staff are friendly and nice, and the service is quick. Def recommend it!

    Take out orders only. Fast & friendly service in the Financial district area (near SF Chinatown). Great food & lots of options: Sandwiches, Wraps, Burritos, Poke Bowls, Sushi Onigiri...omg, so many in a tiny place! Love, love

    This restaurant is take out only, and it's a small place but the flavors coming out of there is amazing. You place your order on a screen and the service was quick. We ordered the BLT on a croissant, a bacon, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel, a mango passion fruit tea and a peach pineapple fruit smoothie. Everything was so good. Definitely should check this place out if you want a quick bite to eat.

    Dragon Onigiri with spicy mayo and eel sauce
    Valeria C.

    Just discovered this spot yesterday and I've already been twice. Yesterday I had the salmon sashimi and today I went with the dragon one. I prefer the dragon sashimi but they're honestly both delicious. It is about $20 more or less for one sashimi but they're honestly huge and sooo good it's worth it. I used to frequent onigilly and they are more affordable but I prefer the flavor of these sashimis. They're soooo good I can't express it enough. It's a small shop with a couple of tables outside, kiosk self-ordering and small staff. I waited maybe 10 minutes yesterday (only one worker) and 5 tops today. The lady that assisted me today was on top of things and really nice! I'm probably gonna take a break from this after today but I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Oh and I almost forgot I had the peach piña tea yesterday and that was sooooo good too!! Honestly anything is probably good here.

We had recently visited Japan and were interested to see if we'd find some of our favorite products here and were happily surprised were there. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

They had a final closing party this past Saturday, and we knew we had to stop by for few last drinks and bites. It was low key kinda sad as we had to say goodbye to some of our favorites. Over the years (past decade or so now) we've gotten to know the staff and this spot has been a spot where we knew we'd get great service, good convos, and of course tasty wings, totchos, and $1 oysters on Thursdays. Shout out to Matt, Tracy, Jeremy, and their entire team for the amazing hospitality over the years. Paina closing is a reminder that it's important to not take your favorite restaurants/bars for granted because you never know when that final day will eventually come and when it does it comes way too fast.
