When we got there, a few tables were full. Once we were seated, no tables were empty! This is a very popular spot. Our servers were amazing. They were knowledgeable on allergies and brought allergen friendly menus to our party upon request. We ordered miso soup, edamame, and about half of the specialty rolls. Every single bite was delicious. The portions were perfect for sharing. Our party of four felt satisfied after eating and truly enjoyed our experience. There were two vegans and two non-vegans in our party and every single one of us left happy. The non-vegans were surprised at how tasty each dish was and they are looking forward to bringing their non-vegan friends to try it. The restaurant is clean and gorgeous. They made do with the space and there is just enough room for the servers to get by and deliver the goods. Overall, it will make your trip to the city absolutely divine! :D

Maybe I shall choose to have one for breakfast; good for when I struggle to find what eatery I go to after I wake up and brush my teeth on a certain morning. Dinner time? Another good choice as well. Made me feel good when it comes to Rad Radish. Loved a good o' vegan eatery whose interior was as spacey and laid back as ever. Plus, I got to pay cash first before I had a feel-good meal. Best customer service to keep me at ease. For lunch, Masala Burger with classic fries! My special plant based burger wasn't as spicy as I took one bite at a time. Matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened for a best tasting whole leaf experience. As Wildseed in Cow Hollow continues to shine, so is Rad Radish in Hayes Valley. Our local communities will do everything we have in our power to make a greener difference. What's very important was that we must love each other as neighbors to keep the peace.

Third review. 1. The…read morevegan pasta is comforting, rich with just a touch of heat. I absolutely love it. 2. The eggs...mushy and very sweet squash in eggs next to boiled potatoes? Ketchup with a dash of curry? Salad dressing so light you can't even tell it's present? I love eggs and this could have been one of the favorites. It was not a satisfying meal at all. 3. Chimichurri Burger- the combination of grilled onions, peppers, crunchy potato sticks is a truly amazing and creative combo. The bun? Several days old, dry - it tasted dry, dense and stale. Instead of absorbing the sauces and bringing everything together it did the very opposite. I was going to try their French toast and decided to make it at home instead - fresh challah or brioche with vanilla bean, cinnamon, pinch of salt and splash of heavy cream mixed in with eggs + maple syrup and fresh berries. It will take more effort than just ordering it at a restaurant but I'm not taking anymore risks.

The tomato-based broth was the best part of the whole bowl, a bit sour, light, comforting and full of flavor. It came with tofu, soy protein, green herbs and all the toppings went well together, super addicting! I came around 5:30pm, so it was pretty quiet and easy to get seated. Their menu is also hugeeeeee, with everything from banh mi, noodle soups, entrees and rice plates to desserts and drinks. You'll want to come with a group so everyone can order different dishes to share. Highly recommend if you're in SF and looking for a great vegan restaurant, or even if you're not vegan and just want to explore unique twists of Vietnamese dishes!

Everything sounds delicious but the sample plates pack the most punch. I love plantains so having those figure prominently, with delicious rice and plant based chicken, is perfect.

Yes, in addition to IKEA's viral food court, there's so much more. Saluhall opened with all-vegan vendors but things have shifted back to meat and dairy. Case Borinquena is the last standing all-vegan stall. This is Caribbean soul food and it's so good. If you're looking for a salad or something light, this is not for you. This food will fill you up and leave you wanting more. Loaded Tostones is pumped up with nacho-ish toppings. Served with a thick and tasty mama sauce. I was dunking everything into that sauce. I opted for the side of tostones because I was craving the crunchy plantain. It was crisp perfection! Lulu's Famous Pastelillo filled with vegan beef or chicken was another winner for me. The dough was fried perfectly and I loved the chicken filling flavor. Chef's kiss. Coquito cake is on the menu! If you love eggnog, get this right now. I want to return for the sampler plate. At $20, it's cheaper than a flight to Puerto Rico. Pro-tip: first hour of parking is free!

Super delicious vegan place only steps from the opera house!…read more We went here for dinner after seeing the Barber of Seville matinee and were super impressed with the options and the ambiance this place provided. We sat at the bar and it was relatively quiet though by the time we left there was a line forming at the door to get in. We got a few drinks, "crab" arancini, "Chk'n" Paella, and the "Choriqueso" Empanadas. Our favorite was the paella - the skewers were really delicious - although everything on the menu looked and tasted good. Could not tell anything was vegan. Would definitely come back and try a few of the other dishes!

A great spot offering plenty of gluten-free and vegan options near Civic Center!…read more My friend and I stopped by this spot on a Friday during Happy Hour to grab some quick bites. Since this is near the Civic Center, spots are limited, so public transit is the best way to get here! Inside was very aesthetically pleasing and inviting, with the windows stretching up the wall to the ceiling, and a modern bar. At that moment, we weren't really looking for drinks, just bites, so I do not have any opinions yet on their drink selection. We ordered the "crab" arancini, which came with jackfruit, lemon garlic, salsa macha aioli, and guajillo, and the barbacoa nachos. The arancini was okay, and did not stand out as much as I would have liked. The panko crust on it was on the thicker side, so it had a bit of a harder exterior, but I will say I did like how well the jackfruit was incorporated and added depth to the dish. I wish that I could taste a bit more of that lemon in the lemon garlic. The barbacoa nachos were delicious, and I liked how they paired the nachos with jalapenos and pickled onions for a nice flavor composition. The jackfruit blended well and added some savory, "meaty" flavoring to the dish that worked. Overall, for a restaurant that specializes in vegan food, this was a great choice! I thought the service was great as well, and they were very accommodating to our party when it came to dietary needs, which is always appreciated.

We started w/asstd breads w/ a miso butter - sourdough, crisp flatbread, cornbread ... also got a pita w/ hummus - just ok....fingerling potatoes were crisp & yummy !

So I made reservation at Greens. The whole menu is vegetarian!! So many choices. The place is pretty big, and it seems the early reservations get the window tables?? It was overcast and there is nothing much to look at, but it must so beautiful to see the sun sets on a beautiful sunny day. We saw a seal though. We like seeing seals and dolphins and sea lions when we go to the piers. We tried the falafel platter, the fried cauliflowers, the tofu rolls and 2 bread baskets. One wasn't enough for 6pp. Then for main course, we had the bún vermicelli bowl, the mesquite jerk curry tofu dish with rice, the squash and goat cheese pizza, the corn pasta with basil porcini cream sauce, and 2 wild mushrooms Wellington. All very tasty and well prepared. Desserts were not as tasty for me. The blueberries nien gao and the blackberries chocolate cake were too hard. The only one that was pretty good was the strawberry and peach crisp with Chantilly cream. And thanks goodness for the complimentary vanilla ice cream dessert to soften the cakes. The place is very busy. The turnover is constant. Small parties, large parties.... And everybody seemed to enjoy the food very much. Noise level was a bit high, considering there were so many guests having a good time. Service was good. Always order with the waiter. If you asked the busser, you will never get it. We lucked out and got a spot on the street right at the entrance leading to the restaurant.

Walking in I wasn't sure what to expect because it looked pretty run down. I wasn't expecting fine-dining, but the place didn't have a welcome feel. We were the first table in when they opened, but unfortunately the service felt a bit cold from the start. Our server seemed disengaged, which set a less welcoming tone for the meal. The food was just okay for us. Our kids enjoyed their spring rolls and "chicken" nuggets, which were an easy win. However, the entrees we ordered were quite salty and didn't have much depth of flavor. Afterwards, we realized they don't use garlic or onion, which would have been helpful to know ahead of time since it really affects the flavor profile. If we had known that, we likely would have chosen a different spot. Overall, it wasn't quite what we were expecting given the menu and reviews. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't stand out for us in a city with so many great food options.
