My favorites are deep fried crispy taro rolls and any noodle dish with soft tofu and veggies. The gluten puffs are always a great snack as are the sushi rolls. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Although the restaurant is small and old, it is clean and comfy. Lucky Creation is less than block away from the Chinatown subway station. I wish I lived closer or they closed later so I could come more often.

Lucky Creation hosted in the heart of SF Chinatown is a long time favorite of locals and visitors for their vegetarian and meat alternative dishes. There's not much parking in this part of town so be prepared to try to squeeze into street parking or park further away and walk. Otherwise, public transportation is always an option! For us, we typically just drop one of us off and circle the block while they grab the goodies. Their selection of wheat gluten dishes have flavor and texture profiles reflecting popular meat dishes like sweet and sour, curry, and BBQ pork. Each bite has a chewy and spongy texture which seems to soak up the sauces packing bursts of flavors. Eaten cold is our favorite method but I'd imagine heating it up is also just as good. Every time we come, sweet and sour and the BBQ pork are the flavors we go home with. Most patrons buy takeout but they also have a few small tables for dine in. The place is relatively clean and open, illuminated by the bright fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling and accented by the giant mirror along the wall. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. If it's your first time, consider perusing but also just ask directly. They may have some recommendations for your craving. Overall, Lucky Creation packs classic Chinese flavors into vegetarian dishes for those with dietary restrictions or those looking to minimize meat in their meals. The quality of dishes are just as good as I remember from when I was a kid although the prices like for all things have gone up. If you're lucky enough to have plans to go into the city, consider making your way to Lucky Creation and grab a variety box to open your eyes to a meat-less diet!

A Perfect Celebration at Greens…read more We celebrated Mother's Day and a birthday at Greens Restaurant, and it was nothing short of magical. The Marina weather was flawless, the Fort Mason views were stunning, and--miraculously--parking was plentiful. A perfect start. We arrived early and were warmly welcomed by a gracious front desk who seated us with ease, even gifting us beautiful roses at the table. The service was outstanding--attentive without being intrusive (our water glasses never dipped below two‑thirds full). The food exceeded expectations. Highlights included incredibly fresh spring rolls, a crave‑worthy falafel platter, and the Asparagus Pizza, which was crisp, bright, and refreshingly different with lemon ricotta and herbs. Dessert sealed the experience--the Chocolate Hazelnut Passion Fruit Torte was indulgent, balanced, and unforgettable. Why we loved Greens: * Outstanding views * Plentiful parking * Attentive, thoughtful service * Fresh, seasonal, local ingredients Greens delivered thoughtful hospitality, inspired vegetarian cuisine, and a serene setting--an ideal place for a special celebration. We can't wait to return.

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. Check the Insta @the mushroomsf for deets. We left pleasantly full so no post-Michelin pizza

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.

I haven't been into salad bars lately. Still, I like eating leafy greens made by Proper Foods…read more Not all ingredients in the open stayed fresh forever. At least the salad bar workers had done tirelessly their very best to serve health pursuing customers like us. I had my first salad box followed by a grilled chicken torpedo sandwich, which was all thanks to online discounts from its app. I never spend much time in its spacey atmosphere since I went for takeout. Therefore, all I did was to try sharing some of my healthy meals to my family when they need them the most.

The CTM (chicken tikka masala) burrito is still my go-to and an OG. This location in Saluhall has plenty of seating and a great ambience overlooking market street.

Here's a polished, balanced review you can use:…read more --- I recently visited Curry Up Now on Market Street. The staff was polite and generally friendly, which made the experience pleasant on the surface. However, they didn't seem very knowledgeable about the food preparation or able to answer basic questions about the menu. The food itself was just okay. It appears that items are brought in from another location rather than prepared fresh on-site, which definitely affects the overall quality and freshness. For a place positioned as street food, the pricing also felt a bit on the higher side for what you get. Ambience, is Airy. Overall, it's a convenient spot if you're nearby, but there's room for improvement--especially in freshness and staff familiarity with the menu.

Magnificently packed. Cheerful to look at as well as to eat…read more I like getting food just for myself here. The Awake salad and their muhammara both excellent. Working my way through the menu... You can see from the factory-line production how well loved they are by groups, but at scale that somehow makes the presentation seem more mundane. Nicer to think it was prepared just for you. They also have a fine selection of partner kitchens whose food they offer (soupchu!).

It makes a noticeable difference in the Awake or Vibrant salads. They've also introduced new, non-salad items to their menu: -Beef Bolognese: Flavorful, great portion, good texture. -Chicken Bone Broth Soup: Tasty 16 oz portion, but I was expecting a lot more filling inside. There was very little actual chicken and vegetables in this. It was mostly broth. The items are always well wrapped for takeout, though their brown bag doesn't have handles, so you should bring your own to drop the paper bag into. Also note that they charge extra for utensils.

We started with Dal kachori chaat and from the first bite I knew we were in for a good meal. The kachori was crispy, filling was fresh and chat had perfect balance of tangy, spicy and slightly sweet flavors that instantly brought back memories of street vendors back home. Next, we ordered kadai paneer, rice, paratha and Jalebi. The highlight for me was jalebi. It came out hot and fresh, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, Jalebi street delivered the kind of authentic street food experience I have been looking for in the Bay Area.

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!
