It was his first time dining in the restaurant, and I think my 3rd or 4th? Which brings me to my next thought, we need to come here more often. THIS is the exact type of food my body gets that happy, satiated feeling about. Familiar dishes, with very creative revisions. Small batch food made with love and effort.

Greens is a vegetarian restaurant, and since I'm not a vegetarian, I'll admit I was a little skeptical at first. But I was so pleasantly surprised! I had the soup of the day, which was delicious, and absolutely loved the atmosphere and ambiance. The restaurant was packed, but that didn't impact the quality of the food or the service at all. Everything was wonderful. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem and will definitely be back. Highly recommend--even if you're not a vegetarian!

I dined with three people who had never been before and I was very interested in their reaction. Everyone gave it a thumbs up and loved it. We ordered a bread basket for the table since we all started with soup or chili. The basket is limited with amount- one roll, one cornbread and seeded wafers yet there was enough for everyone to split. I had the corn soup. It was quite good, perhaps not the best I've ever had but certainly up there. They rarely have a roasted tofu dish, brochettes seeing it on the menu, and having it pointed out by our waiter I definitely ordered it. Glad I did. It was awesome. The tofu was amazing, just perfect along with mushrooms, tomatoes and onion slices. All of it worked so well together. There was a side of orzo salad with a variety of fresh veggies mixed in- so good. I washed it down with an excellent glass of Sauvignon Blanc and plenty of water was provided. For dessert we shared a chocolate cake with ice cream and a peanut butter parfait. Both were good. The parfait came with candied peanuts and a brittle- a bit of a jaw breaker. Overall the meal was excellent and very enjoyable. Service was wonderful and attentive as is typical. If you're ever considering trying vegetarian food come here first. Well worth the visit.

For food we got the following: -Dahi Sev Puri - this was my favorite dish, really fun to eat and great flavors. -Chole Bhature - this was also great! The puffy bread was sooo delicious and the chickpeas were perfectly seasoned and delicious. -Bhel Puri - this dish was unique and was a good size portion, but not as flavorful as the other two dishes. It felt like eating a savory rice crispy cereal, but not in a bad way :P -Garlic Naan - pretty decent but nothing special -Jalebi - I was really excited to try this dessert. I looooved the texture (crunchy outside, with a gooey inside) but the actual flavor was not my favorite. To me, it tasted very similar to chlorinated water, and it was hard to get past that.. There was a different jalebi with a dipping sauce, and I wonder if that would have been better. They were out of it when we went, but I would try it again with that. Overall a really great restaurant, and definitely a place to try out if you're wanting a more unique Indian dining experience!

We came here because we were craving a traditional Turkish breakfast, and overall we had a really…read moreenjoyable experience. The Turkish breakfast was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We shared one breakfast platter, and it was more than enough for us. The restaurant itself is also beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. The biggest disappointment was the Turkish coffee. I had been telling my husband how amazing authentic Turkish coffee can be because I had previously visited a Turkish café in San Mateo where the coffee was served in a traditional pot alongside Turkish delights, allowing you to refill your small cup. I expected something similar here. Instead, we each received only a tiny cup for around $5, which felt more like ordering a small espresso. It wasn't bad, but it definitely didn't live up to our expectations. The service was another area that could be improved. We arrived early and were ready to order, but we waited quite a while before anyone came to our table. During that time, I noticed another table that had arrived after us was greeted, had their order taken, and thus received their food before we were served. That was a little frustrating. One small inconvenience is that there is only one restroom for the restaurant. Despite those issues, the food was excellent, and that's what matters most. We would absolutely come back for the Turkish breakfast because it was truly delicious. Overall, I'd give this place 4 out of 5 stars. With a little improvement in service and a more memorable Turkish coffee experience, it would easily be a 5-star restaurant.

I had forgotten whether I like the sweet and sour or the curry flavor, so I got 1/2 lbs of both. I end up liking the curry more. Anyway, I also got the crispy noodles with black bean sauce. Tasty, but a tad salty. Since it was autumn moon festival season, I also got a few vegetarian moon cakes. This is mostly a takeout place with some tables inside for eating in. I came around lunch time and shared a table with two lovely ladies that offered me a taste of their dishes. I refused but they were so nice. Service friendly and make sure to bring cash because they don't take card. Located on Washington St. and Ross Alley.

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.

We recently visited Enjoy Vegetarian Restaurant in Chinatown San Francisco after not coming back…read morefor over 10 years, and unfortunately the experience reminded us exactly why we stopped coming. We understand Chinatown restaurants may not always provide "fine dining" service, and honestly we were not expecting that. But the attitude from the short-haired lady server was extremely unpleasant. While we were still ordering, she already looked impatient and annoyed. We had two elderly people with us, so yes, we needed a little more time to order, but the restaurant was not even busy. What made the experience worse was that the staff were loudly chatting back and forth in Cantonese the entire time using rude language and gossiping nonstop. Customers come to enjoy a meal peacefully, not sit there listening to staff complain and bitch about things across the restaurant. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable, unprofessional, and stressful the entire meal. After this visit, we definitely will not return to the Chinatown location again.

I ordered the orecchiette & spicy sausage arrabbiata pasta with a side salad, which was just the right amount of food. Only annoying thing about the experience dining in was the service. My friend and I ordered separately, and she placed two orders at the in-store kiosk - one for dine-in and one for takeout for another friend. She placed the orders separately, so there were two distinct transactions, and she took two numbers. I didn't notice the numbers, so I just put my name into the kiosk I ordered from. A staff member stopped by our table and berated my friend for taking two numbers even though she was in the right because she placed two separate orders. Sure enough, when she went to pick up the to-go order, the second number was written on the bag. Big smh moment, and the staff should've never questioned my friend who knew what she was doing.

Bought my tix online and waited for the day to arrive. I included the offspring and +1 for the event. Got there early and found parking basically in front, a miracle in SF. Doors opened at 5:02 and we were greeted by the chef and staff all dressed in green like the Jolly Giant of commercial fame. The tables were decorated with flowers sprouting from funny shaped radish and turnip "pots". Did I mention that the dinners have been called whimsical......... So it begins. We got two juice pairings and two alcohol pairings and both were really interesting. The local Chardonnay on lees and the martini were winners in the alcohol category whereas celery ginger kombucha and citrus drink were rulers of the nonalcoholic category. Some refills were provided, yeah! First course - Miso celeriac soup with foraged herbs, walnut dill bread with kumquat jelly and chive butter. Rich and tasty soup with great bread though two smaller pieces would have been better than one large to enjoy the spreads. Second course - Lacto-fermented beets, roasted carrot, little jellies with spicy carrot salad and hummus. Everything was unique with interesting flavors and consistencies. Loved the little jellies made with agar and the carrot salad, Wow! Third course - Mushroom and beet pub pie over purple cauliflower béchamel. Amazingly flaky vegan puff pastry, don't know how they did that without butter. Filling was earthy and savory complemented well by the béchamel. Dessert - a selection of citrus based seasonal treats including chocolate, little cake balls, candied kumquats and aquafaba. Not just great for being vegan but actually a triumph. First time trying aquafaba and it really tasted like a light, neutral whipped cream. Big fan of the candied kumquats too. They even stuck a candle in the birthday girl's bowl and led the obligatory serenade. Overall a fun experience that reflects Alex Lauritzen's passion for vegetable based cuisine, taking it fully to the fine dining level but doing it with joy and whimsy. Staff and service were attentive. This was the eighth mushroom with dinners occurring once a month. They may also do pop up a La carte service but I'm not sure.
