Om Sabor is truly a gem! I've added it to my list of places to bring non-vegan friends and so far it's been a crowd pleaser. The service is swift and the servers are all very attentive and friendly. The vibes are moody and perfect for a few drinks with friends or a date night. Please note, they don't take reservations and open seating starts when they open at 5 pm. Live music and shows start later on, but this place definitely fills up quickly. You'll have groups scouting your table before you even finish. There is an extensive cocktail and mocktail menu, there was a red mocktail with cinnamon and hibiscus that was delicious! There is a rotating menu so there is always something fun and new to try. Order tapas style to get a little bit of everything! I've been here a few times and some of my favorites are the carne asada tacos, chicken tinga tostadas, mac and cheese croquettes, and the black sheep slider. Some things worth skipping (in my opinion) are the truffle mac and cheese, furikake crab cakes, and the au gratin. read more

Food and drinks were just okay; I only really liked the dessert. Should've been a 3 star review but the manager is oddly defensive and tried to gaslight me after my waitress asked me if there was a problem with the service when she saw I only selected a 15% tip. There was a problem, but not a major one. It was just a little hard to get a hold of anyone. I wasn't upset about it until she and the manager got so oddly defensive and confrontational about it. Will never come back. In hindsight, I really shouldn't have been surprised by the manager's behavior and I should've actually expected it because during my meal he loudly swore at a customer whom he told to leave. It was surprising but at the time I assumed he was just speaking to an unusually rude customer, but perhaps that exchange was more indicative of the manager's behavior rather than the customer's. read more

Super tasty food, but honestly was really crowded and felt understaffed. Our waitress was nice but we didn't realize or were told it was open seating and the staff inside were kind of dismissive. Heres my take on the food: Truffle mac and cheese actually felt like it was missing a lot of flavor, i personally wouldnt get it again Nachos- so so delicious. the mexican cheese and pico were so tasty Apple pie- Literally the BEST apple dessert ive ever had. Has a custard filling and smoked caramel on the apples was absolutely delicious. read more

Om Sabor is still the best vegan food in San Francisco. I'm so happy they have a permanent home in Phonobar and I truly hope they open another location at some point. Every time I go it's hard to find a table so I end up standing! But it's worth it to enjoy this incredible food. The service is always top notch considering how busy this place always seems to be. Plus they are always playing some vibey music. Run, don't walk, to Phonobar to eat some delicious Om Sabor. read more

Pros - Delicious food - friendly waiters - beautiful interior Cons - small portions Clam Chowder was flavorful. They use mushroom instead of clam which has a texture practically identical as real clam. (In the photos I attached I had nearly eaten half of it) read more

Everything from the food to the service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Shout out to Yesenia and Sam for taking great care of us. I've been a vegetarian for about two decades and I love how plant based food establishments are now mainstream. Om Sabor hits the mark on all fronts. Generally when places are aesthetically pleasing the food is lacking but both the food and ambiance here are top tier. Get here fast! They have a DJ in the back room so you can vibe out while you eat and sip and dance it off when you're done. read more

What a fantastic location and menu! On the way to the Opera with my husband and 9 year old and we wanted to grab a little bite. I was thrilled to find Phonobar and Om Sabor. The ambiance is dark yet inviting with great music, the menu was awesome! Completely vegan and notations on the menu of what is gluten free, soy free and nut free as well. Perfect for those of us who have allergies to wheat and nuts. The staff and servers here are wonderful and welcoming - even with a child (children allowed before 9pm). They have a great txakolina wine - something I don't see on menus very often. And the distance to the Opera or symphony can't be beat! Presentation of food is also lovely. Looking forward to going back! read more

Tried their food as a pop-up and so glad I came to Phonobar for more! The location is a cool bar, dark/dim lighting, with a parking lot next door (street parking is limited), and the staff were super friendly. Food is really delicious and unique, portion sizes were shareable and decent for the price. Can't wait to go back, definitely the best food ive had served at a bar! read more

I had a really great time here last night. We came on a Friday night around 7:30pm and were seated almost immediately (first come first serve tables). I'd recommend this place more for drinks + munchies rather than a whole meal (I'd say most people come here for that). That being said, my meal was good. I'd like to come back and try more of the entrees. Chicken tinga tostada: SUPER tasty! This was my favorite thing we got and I'd absolutely get it again. The texture of the chicken was good, sauce was great, and it was LOADED! 5/5 Clam chowder: I was a little disappointed by this. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. As a vegan, I was excited to see clam chowder on a menu because it's not very common but this didn't really taste like clam chowder. 3/5 Parmesan crusted fries with garlic aioli: the fries were a little undercooked, there was barely any Parmesan, and the garlic aioli was really watery. However, this could be good if you and a group of friends are a few drinks in. 3/5 Truffle Mac n cheese: It tasted very truffle-y but not very cheesy at all. However the texture was nice and I loved the breadcrumbs on top. 4/5 Juicy Fruit: I loved this! 5/5 read more

Om Sabor is a pop up in Phonobar. They serve vegan deliciousness. I've walked by the bar a couple of times, only open in the evenings and very unassuming during the day. I've been meaning to try it out. Seeing their collab with Om Sabor gave the push. We got the ceviche, potato gratin with crispy mushrooms, and vegan lamb burger. The ceviche tostadas were refreshing and a great appetizer. The potato gratin and crispy mushrooms hit the spot and was very filling. The lamb slider was Smokey and very different from the vegan impossible burger you typically can order at restaurants. Highly recommend for vegans/vegetarians and anyone without dietary restrictions. read more

Super cool vegan restaurant with some unique offerings! They have a rotating menu, so the entree I was eyeing (paella) wasn't available at the time, but honestly all the menu items are super interesting and thoughtfully crafted. We came on Taco Tuesday, so the tacos were all $4 and my friend ordered all 4 options: I opted for the furikake crab cakes. We also ordered a truffle fries to share, but they forgot about it and we asked too late :(. The furikake crab cakes were super crispy, with a stringy and slightly creamy inside -- the textural contrast was delicious and interesting. It was my first time eating jackfruit, so the flavor took some getting used to (both sweeter and more acidic than expected), but switching between the strong taste of the cakes and the refreshing salad made for a nice balance. My only gripe would be that I couldn't rlly taste the matcha furikake? though maybe I am too used to furikake being 90% bonito taste lol... The tacos had a nice variety and were overall delicious: I really liked the crispiness they achieved with the tortillas! Honestly, though, it was really dark, and we couldn't really tell which taco we were eating B). One of them was super delicious and hands down our favorite (I want to guess it was the carne asada), and one of them was way too salty and our least favorite. Either way, they were all super flavorful, balanced (sans the salty one), and interesting, and it was fun not knowing what we were eating, like a roulette of tacos! My main thing I'd have against Om Sabor might be what other people like, which is the bar atmosphere -- I'm probably just not used to these grittier dining atmospheres, but it was really dark and loud (there was a live DJ), and that made it hard to hear my friend. The tables were a little small, and it was confusing to figure out the dining situation. Still, the quality of food they're pumping out in this setting is super impressive! This is some of the most interesting and creative vegan food I've had, and I'd definitely recommend swinging by and trying their stuff -- just be prepared for the fact that it is literally a pop up in a bar :). read more

Only distraction was it is a bar so dining at small bar side tables or in what can be described as a retro disco cave room with very cramped tables, music a bit loud and lighting dim. read more

This is vegan food at its best. As a non-vegan, I could barely tell this is meatless! I started with the crab cakes which I thought were great, but the tacos really stole the show. All three were delicious and each was different in its own way. My partner is allergic to nuts, so it's also amazing to have a vegan option that is nut free! Added plus - you get to have the great cocktails at Phonobar, so this makes for a perfect date night. read more

This is such a divinity hidden treasure in the very hopping Hayes Valley neighborhood. Om Sabor is offering very authentic vegan Mexican eats with great flare & flavor. We started with the fries, mainly for our two year old, carne asada nachos, & firakake crab cakes. The fries were crispy & hot, nachos very tasty, & the crab cakes were probably my favorite. The sauce was creamy & the jackfruit was seasoned to perfection. Esther was our server & she was an absolutely delight. We sat outside which offers nice big booth seating however, inside has a very welcoming dimly lit ambiance as well. Finally, we ended with the hibiscus flower tacos, kale salad, & truffle Mac n chz. The tacos were awesome, fresh tortillas & great salsa. The salad was fresh & the Mac was hot & creamy. If you are vegan & looking for something with some unique Mexican flare, then Om Sabor is absolutely the place for you. read more

Inside Phonobar-you need to try this place!!!! Service: service was amazing, the chef came out to greet us and tell us a little bit about herself and how she came to open up Om Sabor. I love the overall ambiance of this place. Food: Mac & Cheese, Paella, hibiscus tacos, ceviche tostadas-everything was PHENOMENAL!! For a vegan restaurant, it was SO GOOD!! The hibiscus tacos and ceviche tostadas were my favorite but the mac& cheese and paella hit the spot too. I cannot explain how delicious everything tasted and to have a cocktail with all the food was just the cherry on top. If y'all haven't tried this place yet, y'all are seriously missing out!! I'm not even vegan, and all these dishes fooled me!! I literally believed the soy on the paella was real chicken!!

People of color, be warned. Our experience may differ from whites. I was asked to pay in advance when placing my order, which I found unusual, as I noticed that other tables were not required to do the same. This experience marked the first time I have felt discriminated against. As a college-educated Latino man, I was taken aback by the unwelcoming attitude of the staff, particularly the woman who served me. Her first words were, "Oh, want a menu?" and she did not greet me politely or make any effort to make me feel comfortable. I had hoped to enjoy a nice meal with my wife at a vegan restaurant in the city, but unfortunately, the service was disappointing, and the food was just average. I will not be returning, and I feel compelled to warn others, particularly fellow Latinos and people of color, to reconsider visiting this establishment. read more

Ambiance was relaxed and cozy. The server was kind and had great food recommendations. The food is so flavorful, unique, and bold. This place is an absolute hit.

If you want to try vegan food, or have a friend that is vegan and you want to be accommodating, take them here! You will not regret it! read more

I wish I had listened to the other Yelp reviews complaining of terrible service at Phonobar. However, I was in the area for a performance and was dining with a friend who eats vegan, so I gave it a try--huge mistake. Let's get this out of the way: The food is fine, even very good. But it does not make up for the horrible service, which is the worst I have experienced anywhere. It was a busy night, so we were initially sat at a ledge near the door. This was okay, though chilly and people kept mistaking us for hosts. We also had to flag someone down to order. When a table opened up, we asked if we could move and the servers helped us. I had to ask for a spoon for my soup, but that was fine. This is--really, truly--all no big deal and I wouldn't mention it all, except it's relevant to the rest of this saga. Now the new table, our service basically slides to a halt. We had to ask twice for the rest of our items to arrive. The first time we had to ask was understandable--we'd moved tables and it was a busy night. The server asked what we'd ordered and we told her. Then we had to ask again--and, again, she asked what we'd ordered. By the time the last of our items hit the table, we were way behind schedule and asked for the check. The server presented us with the bill, which my friend quickly glanced at, paid, and signed. We finished our food and left in a rush to make our event. We were a block down the road when someone runs up behind us. It was the host, who waved his iPad in our faces and said, "Hi, yeah, you didn't pay your bill." My friend and I assumed this was a misunderstanding and told him that we did. "No, you didn't," he said angrily, again gesturing at the iPad. At this point, other people nearby are staring. He's making a scene. We keep telling him that we paid--he keeps saying "no" and rolling his eyes, getting more and more indignant. We explained to him again that we had paid the server when our food hit the table. "Which server did you pay?" His tone was FULL of accusation. We described the server. He demanded that we go back to the restaurant to sort this out. At this point, my friend and I are frustrated. The performance's doors close at 7:30 and we aren't sure if we'll make it now. On our way back, my friend explained this and said that, honestly, we hadn't been happy with the service. Instead of asking us why, he said aggressively, "I know you weren't happy with your first table, but it was a busy night." The initial table wasn't the problem, and it was so weird for him to assume that. I said that the table was fine, but that the food took a very long time, we'd had to ask for our items twice, and that now we were being chased down for a bill we'd already paid. Back at the restaurant, I encouraged my friend to pull up her bank statement. There was a charge from the restaurant. This was the bill we'd paid, which was about $20 less than the bill he'd claimed we skipped out on. Clearly, his server had made a mistake with the transaction. My friend showed him this charge. Instead of taking it off the bill, he told her that he would charge her for the second bill and then cancel that first charge. We got no apology, despite this being THEIR mistake--though he did say, "Hey, if you want to come back after the show, you can each have a drink on me." Uhhh, there is no way I'm going to come back after that! Also why not offer to take some drinks off of the tab he insisted on us paying? Or why not just let the $20 difference between bills go and admit a mistake? Aaaand we should have asked him to deduct the original payment from our tab--because, reader, are you surprised to learn that, a week later, both charges remain on my friend's card? If I could give negative stars, I would. Do yourself a favor: Trust the reviews and don't eat here--unless they move locations and/or overhaul their front-of-the-house staff. I hope they do. The food is good and the chefs in the back deserve better representation. read more

I've wanted Vegan clam chowder for 5 years and have never been able to find it until now. Their clam chowder is the most accurate vegan substitute I've ever had. The taste, texture, everything was perfect. We also had the Croquets, Mac n Cheese and the Lamb Slider (all vegan) and all were perfect. Staff was friendly and the food came out very quickly. I'd recommend getting there as close to 5Pm as you can, it gets packed quickly read more

Ever since visiting their bar, Phonobar, I'd been itching to try Om Sabor. I love a good veggie meal and had high expectations coming in. Sadly, I found the experience severely lacking -- in flavor and in service. We walked in and were told we could sit anywhere-- we chose the bar. Unsure of what to order, we asked our server if they could recommend items/help us order. They were genuinely unhelpful, saying that they liked everything. As someone new to the restaurant I'm not sure how to use that knowledge. We placed our order and just hoped it would be good. The clam chowder (4/5) was warm and mushroomy, which I really liked. It was kind of goopy though, maybe because there was a lot of starch/corn flour added. We also got the hibiscus tacos (2/5). They did not taste like much to me -- just like a taco with crunchy bits. We let our server know this when they asked us how the food was, and were told "that's how they're made". Ok, I guess so. The place itself is nice but felt a little dead at 7:30 on a Friday. I wouldn't come back to eat here given the plethora of food options in Hayes -- but hope to be proven wrong if I do go back. read more

this is a review for their new popup restaurant inside Phonobar @ 370 Grove St., SF, not the catering business. currently this is THE best all-vegan hidden gem in the bay area! i recommend going with friends and sharing a bunch of small dishes tapas-style. plenty of outdoor seating. truffle fries - 4.5/5. not very truffly but they were solid classic shoestring fries and reminded me of mcdonalds (in a good way). "crab" cakes - 5/5. sooo crispy, paired nicely with aioli and pickled onions. the jackfruit texture was perfect. chorizo flautas - 4/5. they were good but i wish there were more mushrooms in the filling. inari - 4/5. i had high hopes because i love inari but the texture and flavors kind of all blended together indistinctly. BBQ mac and cheese - 5/5. this was the most "real" tasting vegan mac that i've ever had! the "cheese" was so velvety and the jackfruit topping reminded me of pulled pork. coco-viche - 4/5. this was a fun blend of textures but could have used more flavors besides lime(?). om burger - 4.5/5. i'm not a burger person but this would definitely hit the spot if a burger is what you're craving. vegan wings - 5/5. these were some of the best veg wings i've ever had! they had a super thick and crispy exterior but weren't greasy at all. pumpkin pie gallette - 5/5. also one of the best all-vegan desserts i've ever had. you would not guess this was vegan. read more

Visited Phonobar/Om Sabor on a Thursday night, around 5:30pm with my husband and two friends. Sat outside in the parklet which was comfy, would have sat inside but the back lounge area that can accommodate more than a party of 2 has loud music - and we wanted to chat. Service was slow but friendly. Once our order was taken service picked up. We were there during happy hour and tried everything on the menu - the HH menu for clarification. My favorite thing was the "carne asada" tacos, nice heat and great flavor. The mushroom ceviche was good but more salsa-esque. We also ordered the furikake crab cakes which were delicious, as well as the chicken paella which was very well seasoned and delicious though not really paella - would still order again. Overall I really like Om Sabor and would like to go back to try more options. I'm not vegan, but thought everything was very good. read more

Om Sabor's social media bio describes their food as "Cosmic Vegan Vibrations & Universal Flavors." Otherworldly & transcendent, their dishes have been haunting my every waking moment since I first tried them this past weekend (their second week operating out of Phono Bar SF at 370 Grove Street.) The items we ordered were inspired by various Latin American cuisines: -- coco-viche ($15): young coconut pieces and king trumpet mushrooms take the traditional place of fish in this version of ceviche. Fresh salsa, cucumber pico, & generous portions of plantain chips swim in theee most addictive habanero leche de tigre, a piquant lime broth. -- pibil tamal ($13): the side of roasted carrots & habanero camote purée were delicious enough on their own; the achiote jackfruit-stuffed tamale was simply a bonus. -- tres leches coconut cake ($13): much more dense than I was expecting, I would've enjoyed a lighter consistency, but the flavor of cinnamon & coconut complemented the vanilla cake nicely. Each plate is arranged like a work of art, a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. It's obvious the chefs know which spices, flavors, & textural combinations bring out the best in vegetables. Can't wait to go back! Menu is available via QR code, place your order at the bar, plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. read more

Excellent food and great, friendly service! I was a little nervous after reading other reviews, but on a Thursday night during happy hour we didn't experience any off-putting vibes. Our waiter was really nice and didn't have any problems answering our menu questions. Food and drinks came out fast, and everything tasted very fresh. - The tostadas, clam chowder, crab cake slider were all 5/5 and would re-order (though the slider really ought to have 2 portions for the steep price of $9 -- didn't really feel like a happy hour deal) - The channa masala empanada was a 3.5/5. Pastry puff part was delicious, but filling lacked the proper spices and flavor. Also, this concept is a little odd if you're South Asian - The mac n' cheese was a 2/5 due to the strong coconut flavor of the "cheese" sauce and overcooked noodles. Although it was recommended, neither of us would reorder. Still, it wasn't inedible like some vegan macs, and we were hungry enough to eat most of it The drinks were pretty good. There are more serious cocktail bars in the area but these were still tasty/had fun flavors and we'd try them again. read more

My my my. I don't even know where to start. We've been to Baia a handful of times and never realized this gem was right next door. Wanted to perform a nice date night before seeing a show and Om Sabor was it. Get there early because this place fills up real quickly. Luckily we showed up right after they opened. I'll start the with the fact that I wasn't too impressed with the cocktails, but they did get the job done. I also wasn't impressed with the entree offerings so we went for the small plates for the night. I will say we were not disappointed Mac and Cheese croquettes and the carne asada tacos were absolutely delicious! I would've ordered more if we didn't order so many plates to try. I'm not much of a soup person, but the clam chowder was delicious as well. The black sheep slider (even though my wife raves about it), truffle Mac n cheese, and flautas were all serviceable...not bad but not the best. With that said there were so many other small dishes we had yet to try. The service from our young lady was absolutely amazing. She was running around all night and still provided A+ service. This is a place as a vegan, non vegan, a human being you must try. This is one of my favorite joints now. read more

Super yummy vegan food! Everything was super flavorful and would definitely go back again!

aesthetic: 5/5 food: 6/5 service: 5/5 om sabor is easily one of the best eateries in sf!! located in the heart of hayes, this bar serves up delicious plant-based (mostly mexican-asian fusion) cuisine and cool vibes in its hip atmosphere. i cannot rave enough about their chik'n paella - it's always a must order for me each time i come (almost weekly)!! the truffle mac and cheese, croquettes, lamb sliders, crispy mushrooms,,,basically you won't regret ordering anything (or everything from) the entire menu!! apart from how delicious the food and how vibey the aesthetics of om sabor are, the most amazing aspect of this spot is its convenience. especially with how sf parking is rough, om sabor's offerings of drinks, dinner, dessert, and live music (on nights when there are) makes it the place to be for checking off all the boxes for a fun happy hour/date night/night out!! bonus points for how om sabor's vegan food is very affordable and how the friendly staff consistently brings out orders so efficiently!! can't wait to be back soon :) read more

This entirely vegan restaurant/bar is so fun! Went out with friends for dinner on a Sunday night and it was PACKED. This place is seat yourself which can get kind of hectic since it's hard to know what's actually available. We ordered fries, flautas, a burger and the potato gratin and there was no lack of flavor. The gratin was a bit expensive for what it was, so I wouldn't order that again, but everything else was super tasty. I didn't get any cocktails but my friends did and they raves about them!

The food is great. I have been twice and have always had a good time. The other day I went with friends and we had a nice time. Service (waiter) was very friendly. We were sat outside this time. On the way out, why not use the restroom? It was late (10:30pm) and there wasn't anywhere else to go. We go to just ask to use the restroom but were stopped saying to get in line. The line waiting to sit down and get drinks? Well, we said we just paid for food and just happened to be sat outside. The security guard rudely just said "okay?" as if he didn't care that we just ate and paid. Not sure why we would be denied simply just using the restroom. It came off super nasty, and unprofessional. No rules about this were told to us either. I know Om Sabor and Phonobar share the space but really? Had to hold it in until we got home, to Sacramento. Won't be going again if I see that individual at the door. I usually don't make reviews but I didn't find that friendly or representative of the two businesses at all. read more

Came here a few weekends ago to treat my cousin (Who is vegan) out to dinner for his birthday. Found this place and it looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a try. Mind you my partner and I are not vegan. I'm trying to get there, slowly but surely. This was my partners first all vegan meal. There's a parking garage located right around the corner which was also pretty convienent. The place is an okay size, it's located within a bar in SF. There's some more seatings towards the back, but that got pretty packed, but we were able to get a seat at a table near the windows. Our waiter was very sweet and helpful with drink and dessert recommendations. Started off with the "ceviche" tostadas which was very delicious, we enjoyed every single bite of it, you wouldn't even notice that it's cauliflower instead of the usual shrimp. Then we has the mac and cheese balls, and those were okay. They still tasted good, but didn't wow me. Then had the "Crab" which was jackfruit I believe, omg you wouldn't even notice it wasn't crab, from the taste to the texture 10/10 flavor was def there. I got my "clam" chowder and I really enjoyed it. Everything right down to the texture of it. I liked how creamy it was, and not watery like some clam chowders i've had. They serve it with two pieces of bread. My cousin got the flautas which I didn't try, but he enjoyed it so I'll take his word for it. My partner got the "fish" and chips where the fish was actually jackfruit. I didn't get to try that one either, but He liked it for it being vegan. For my main dish I got the potato gratin and crispy mushrooms, and it was a very enjoyable dish as well. Can't go wrong with the potato gratin, and the mushrooms were well seasoned and fried to a nice light crisp. it was served with some veggies, which were also cooked and seasoned well. then we had dessert I'm not much a pie person so I didn't have any of the apple pie. I did have a few bites of the blueberry cheesecake though and I was worried it was going to be too too sweet but it was just the right amount of sweet, and the blueberrys weren't too mushy either. My cousin and my partner also got some drinks, a few cocktails. and I got a mocktail. I don't remember which ones we got, and I didn't have any pictures saved of them either, but they were quite good, and somewhat different. All in all I do recommend coming here, even if you're not vegan, i'm sure you'll find something that you'll like. I fee like we tried the whole menu! HAHA Def gonna go back and try out the other stuff on the menu. read more

Are you trashed out of your mind from the bar next door? Do you badly need a place to take care of the fact that you are trashed? Do you need food to help you? Are you vegetarian who is too drunk to read a menu? This place is INCREDIBLE! We came in and were honest about our state. We received service that was accommodating and patient with us and were able to safely drive home after an order of buffalo wings, two orders of fries, and truffle Mac, we made it home. They genuinely care about their customers, the manager thanked us for being honest about our state. read more

A first impression really makes or breaks your entire experience. When going to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal, it's all about the experience just as much it is about the food - especially when the food prices are high. As a first time customer for me and my two friends, our first time experience left us dissatisfied with the service we were "provided". We were looking forward to our vegan meals as two of us are gluten intolerant and vegan. We came here for our friend's birthday, her #1 choice by the way, and the minute we stepped inside we were not greeted at all. As first timers, we weren't sure where to sit and when we asked a waitress, she immediately sat us down and we asked for a third chair since the table she sat us at only had two. I pulled my chair to the end of the table. Our waitress, Martha M. swiftly approached us and with what all three of us felt was impolite, she told us we couldn't have the third seat at the front of the table. Mind you, there was another three ladies to the table next to us and they had two on either side of their table and one was sitting at the front of the table. Confused as to why we got told something different. As first timers, it took us a few minutes to look at the menu given that they only provided us with ONE menu and the lighting was dark. Martha kept coming by to ask if we were ready about three times, which made us feel rushed. She didn't even bother to ask if it was our first time or anything. In fact, she didn't even introduce herself as our waitress. As we were seated, one of us had asked where the bathroom was and she made my friend feel incompetent because she could not hear her over the loud music and again, Martha seemed to be rude in describing where the bathroom was located. Upon ordering, she prompted us with payment prior to even getting our food. What threw all of us off was the fact that she went ahead and chose her own tip amount. As I am not a rude customer I wasn't going to change the amount, but felt that was ill mannered and extremely entitled when she was already giving us bad vibes from the start. Not to mention this was a birthday celebration for one of my friends and we attempted to ask Martha if they do anything special for a birthday and she simply ignored us and walked away. Our bill was rather large and she did not deserve the tip that she assumed was fitting for her. Not sure if she was having a bad day or not, but she completely ruined our experience. Most importantly, ruined a special birthday experience. We did not feel respected or treated with the utmost customer service that we deserved when we were being very respectful given the circumstances. Giving three stars because the food was AMAZING and the other waiters or bussers there did not make us feel like we didn't belong at Om Sabor. Unfortunately, not a five star rating due to the experience we received from Martha M. read more
