I wanted to detox from all the Thanksgiving food I had inhaled this past week and dropped by to have some super yummy vegan food at Que Se Raw Se Raw. Thank you for cleansing my system and helping me get some much need fiber into my diet. My favorites were the Waldorf salad wrap and jicama salad. I tried feeding my dog the faux cheese dip but he wasn't fooled. The look on his face was presh. read more

I LOVE this place! Im not vegan, and I definitely dont follow the raw diet, but this place makes some amazing food. I try to come here every now and then for lunch, and its always worth it. My favorites here are the: Kale salad- my favorite kale salad in the world. I love kale, and the dressing they use on here is super yummy. Its not too vinegary and a little sweet, and really goes well with the kale, cauliflower, and cabbage. Ive tried to make this at home and while mine is good, its not as good as theirs. Banana almond milk- 5 dollars for a small cup is pretty steep, but so worth it. Its straight up deliciousness blended and bottled for you. (Well not literally a bottle but you know..) Trust me, you will not get the same taste with bottled almond milk and a banana. Some other items ive tried are: Thai lettuce wrap: pretty good, but I hate celery Beet salad: when I got it, there was way too much mint. it overpowered everything else. Sunflower power salad: yummy if you like tomatoes, but didnt fill me up Cheese whiz: omg love this stuff. you have to try it. i cant even explain how good it is, especially for something made out of veggies. I recommend this place to vegans, vegetarians, or anyone else looking to get a healthy lunch or extra serving of veggies. Street parking is usually easy to find so no excuses! Quick tip: they have a minimum for card, so if you're not looking to buy much then bring cash. They will often give samples of various items too if you want to taste something first. read more

I'm on a strict eating regimen called Whole 30, in which I don't eat grains, dairy, soy, sugar and artificial sweetener, and legumes. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan but this food is delicious. Not only is most of it compliant with my cleanse, but it REALLY is DELICIOUS. I'd be thrilled even if this stuff didn't taste so good because of the convenience and health, but it does so I have to give it 5 stars. I highly recommend the pesto "pizza," pequito burrito, fennel/arugula salad, and the mock tuna nori rolls. You can preorder because they don't have everything everyday. read more

I'm all about the raw food here - the "lasagna" and the "tomato miso pate" at 7$ a pop will do two people good. throw in an almond beverage and go totally raw. The restaraunt is new, colorful, clean, and the staff are very friendly. This is a 'to go' spot only, although you can eat at outdoor tables next door at Earthbeam grocery in the shade or sun. After Que SeRaw SeRaw closes for the day, Earthbeam grocery next door carries their products in the deli section. You can also pick up their goods in San Mateo at the vitality center. A raw food establishment in the Peninsula? That's as rare as it gets. Thank goodness we don't have to drive to Cafe Gratitude in S.F. to get our raw food fix anymore. read more

This is a great place for vegans or anyone that wants to eat really clean and healthy. This is so clean and great service. I love this kind of food but its not for everyone. But if you like to eat healthy, organic and vegan I really do recommend this place. The almond milk and salads are my favorite. It would be nice if they had seating, that is the only drawback. read more

Yum. I went in for the first time yesterday and had the Pesto Pizza and Spring Rolls. They also gave my friend and I free samples of coconut milk. The Pizza had an amazing "crust" of nuts and the pesto really gave it a bold flavor. The guy behind the counter told me it was his favorite pizza. Spring Rolls were great, too. Fresh. The best part is the sauce it comes with. I liked it so much I went there for lunch today and got their lasagna and nut milk with banana. Get the banana drink. It's so good. Lasagna was deilicous as well. I made my mom and sister try both, neither of whom are vegetarians, and they said it was great! The Lasagna can be likened to a dip. It's fresh and light and and the sun dried tomatoes complement the macadamia nut "cheese". I also met the owner, Alicia, today who was quite nice. Try it! I've never reviewed anyting on Yelp, but I was so impressed with the fact that raw food could be so good and filling, I wanted to write a review. read more

I love this place to grab a good healthy lunch. My favorites are it's a wrap, chocolate torte, nori rolls and kale salad. This place is a true vegan and raw foods take out cafe. I never have to worry about what's in the ingredients. I do wish they would start some type of food delivery service as I would absolutely love to have these meals for lunch every day. I once tried to stock up my lunches for at least a few days, but around day 3 it didn't taste so great and fresh because it's like saving a salad for a few days. read more

This is where I go when I want amazing, healthy, RAW food. Some of my favorites - SAMOSAS! - if they have it, you MUST try Waldorf Wrap Mock Tuna Paté CHEESECAKES! - Any of them quite frankly The ONLY downside - the price. It's not the cheapest food in the world but sometimes you have to pay for quality merchandise. And in this case, it is DEFINITELY worth it. read more

Went today to get something fast yet healthy. I had the... GREEN OLIVE PIZZA - $7.00 Topped with cucumber, fennel and cherry tomatoes on a walnut/zucchini crust with cashew/tahini "cheese" and green olive tapenade with parsley and lemon. and the KALE/CABBAGE/CAULIFLOWER SALAD - $5.00 With A Zesty Dressing Organic veggies, apple cider vinegar, agave nectar spicy pepper, Royal Himalayan Pink Crystal salt I give it a big gigantic YUM!! So good, I will go again and again.. Update 8/20/08 I go all the time.. LOVE the cream of Celery soup.. read more

Recently became gluten-free and I have no idea what to eat, I'm starving! I looked this place up and I am so glad I did! The lady at the counter was super friendly and took her time explaining the ingredients to me. Just got home and ate my Nori Roll and it was amazing! Shocked really how good it is and I will be coming back for years to come. read more

Que SeRaw SeRaw - Nori Roll! There's 2 but I couldn't wait! - Vegan Near Me - Burlingame, California

I went to try the poquito burrito a few weeks ago,(only thing in pics that looks worthy of eating)but as you can see in their bio they have a rotating menu, which is nice for freshness of ingredients. Down side, something super bomb on the menu might not be there as the burrito I read about on yelp reviews was NOT! So I grabbed a tuna roll and partner got Thai wrap which was good b/c it came w/ sauce and the only reason it was good fr. My tuna wrap didn't come w/ anything and was only one flavor and was good but boring AF w/ no type of sauce to compliment or give any kind of excitement. So today I decide to look them up and go online to see what the menu is for the day b/c it Fucking changes and who in TF wants to pull up and find nothing your interested in to eat! and we're already struggling vegetarians/vegans as it is to find places to eat that are convenient, reliable and safe for our dietary needs and you can't even see what you offer in advance daily...so in short it's a first come first serve ready made vegan restaurant that usually doesn't have shit to offer that's worth the time TBH! 2 to still say...Thx for trying to give another vegetarian option that can go on the probably not list. This is good if you plan to eat later anyways and just add anything it's lacking like the online menu....with everything?!they offer over the year and not DAILY like the bio even says??? AF: As Fuck B/c: because TBH: To be Honest TF: The Fuck FR: For real W/: with read more

Food is probably 3.5 stars, but giving overall 4 stars for eclectic food and passion for what they are serving. This was my first time having raw food and thought everything tasted pretty good. Had the kale, which was very fresh and would definitely have again. Also got one of the "pizzas", which was good, but not great. But did try several of the pates and all of them were very good, especially the tomato miso. I probably didn't read the other reviews closely enough, but you should note that this place only has take out. There are a couple of tables outside on the sidewalk, which are nice, but probably can't count on those. read more

This isn't a restaurant - in fact there aren't any tables, though there are benches outside and small tables on the street corner. It's a take-out prepared food vegan raw place. [That's a category that hasn't been given a catchy name yet] Fantastic Gazpacho soup, good "Wizard soup". I haven't had anything else that I loved, but I'll certainly try more. The Gazpacho keeps me coming back, though. [Update: someone sent a bazillion volts through the place, and now absolutely everything they make is freakin' awesome. I can't explain it. It's just great. And I don't care that I love meat and fried lard balls and that I'm absolutely fine with torturing animals for my gustatory pleasure--this is one great eatery.] Negatives: they're not open on Sunday (and limited Saturday hours) although you can find a limited selection next door at Earthbeam grocery. Caveat - I'm an omnivore, so perhaps not the best person to rate vegan food. Too much competition. --- Update 2/2008 They're open on Saturdays, and whatever they don't sell ends up for sale at Earthbeam next door on Sat and Sun. I've since tried many things, and it's all wonderful. Try the 'mock tuna salad' with their 'dragon crackers'--incredible. Great soups, too. read more

Absolutely brilliant. I don't know what it is about this place, but everything is delicious. And it's raw!! Raw food often tastes like . . . well, raw. Like a raw salad. Boring. Uninteresting. Bland. Que SeRaw SeRaw is the opposite of what one might expect. It's flavor to the max. Literally, everything I've had here is wonderful. The chocolate (cashew cream) cheesecake is better than actual cheesecake. The rustic pizza with a cashew "cheese" and salsa topping is savory and full of yum. The Mock Tuna pate has the texture and consistency (perhaps a bit firmer) of a salad spread, but it's raw (and I hate tuna salad and won't ever eat it -- this was fantastic). The fact that everything's raw means no faux meats. While I love faux meats (if they're good), that Que SeRaw SeRaw doesn't/can't use them means that its food must survive or fail by virtue of its own merit. It survives, multiplies and procreates. It is a tribute to vegetarianism, veganism, and raw foodism. It is a tribute to brilliant execution. Bravo! Highly, highly recommended. read more

Raw food restaurants are few and far between in this area, so I was so happy when I found this place. I'm not a vegan, but when I need an energy boost I know that raw food is the best way to go. Pros: - Delicious and nutritious! - Friendly and knowledgable staff - The "pizzas" are awesome and so is the mock tuna and sundried tomato pate. Cons: -The hours! What working adult is able to make it there in the middle of a weekday?! Even though the grocers next door carries their food after hours by that time there is not much left -The selection is a bit limited read more

Even though I'm a vegan, this was my first time at a Raw food place, and it was pretty good. I didn't care for the Sundried Tomateo Miso Pate (a little too tart/tangy for me) but I really liked their "pizzas" - the rustic and the green olive ones. My favorite was the samosas, which are not really like samosas as I've had them, but had indian flavors and the tamarind sauce was yummy! We also had a chocolate cheesecake that I really enjoyed as well as chocolate truffles. But the truffles were like chocolate coconut balls. And I loved the almond milk with banana! It was more rich and thick than I thought it would be. Almost like a milkshake. I am bummed I didn't get to try the kale salad, though, but that was because we got there right before 6pm, when they closed, and they were out. But I'd like to try it sometime. The squirrels at the park also enjoyed what fell from our forks! read more

A couple of years ago I went into this shop because my friend recommended it. I became intimidated by the prices and for me, it was hard to read the ingredients on each of the containers, and so I felt stupid and left. Well, that friend is now the new owner of this establishment (full disclosure) and I don't have to feel stupid about languishing in front of the cooler, reading what each prepackaged delights are made of. I had the pleasure of meeting the past owner, Alicia, while my friend, Kerry, was learning the ropes. It was easy for me to ask questions and really get what I wanted. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable as well. I left with the beet salad and the Dill-icious soup. When I got home I immediately tried both. Honestly, I was nervous I wasn't going to like it and since my friend now owns it, it could become quite awkward; but oh...my...goodness...it was delicious! The flavor and freshness were fantastic. I didn't even heat the soup up - I mean, should I? Everything is raw... I have been trying to eat organic when I can for just over a year now. The prices have always intimidated me - until my ah ha moment: I'll spend close to $5 on a cup of coffee and it isn't nearly as delicious or healthy as what I have eaten at Que SeRaw SeRaw. So, I am trying to put things in perspective. That being said, the smallish cup of the almond milk smoothie for $5.29 hurt a little. It was also amazingly fresh and delicious, but slurping it down in about 30 seconds left me a little sad. Wish I could super-size that one. I can't wait to go back. I'm hooked! read more

When my friend and I came inside the store, it was way smaller than I expected. We were greeted by this bubbly lady at the counter. The lady at the counter told us, people who are not vegans or vegetarians, to try the kale salad and mock tuna pate. She assured us we would be hooked. We opted for kale salad, sun-dried tomato miso pate, and 2 almond milk with banana. She waived the $25 min. for card since we were first-timers. We took our food and shared on the bench right outside the store.The food was definitely palatable, but I was still hungry afterwards. I can check vegan off my list of things to try and I'm honestly still not really too impressed. However, I will be willing to try the other things on the menu which looked really enticing if I'm ever in the neighborhood again. read more

I have been slowly converting to a plant based diet and Que SeRaw SeRaw does not disappoint! It is super convenient to be able to grab and go from all the prepared foods. I totally love the olive pizza and mock tuna pate' with dragon crackers. I ALWAYS get the chocolate truffles! I just tried the kelp pasta yesterday and it was delicious. Yes its pricey, but the convenience is so worth it especially since I am traveling for business and it is SO tough to find a convenient vegan raw eatery. Just my luck I stay in San Mateo and this is just a mere 15 minute drive. I can pick up my lunch and dinner items all at once! Again because I don't have time to prepare anything since I am on business travel and it is SO difficult to find raw vegan foods it is because of this that Que SeRaw has quickly become a favorite (and savior) of mine! read more

I just started frequenting this place because I'm trying really hard to eat "healthy." I've been trying to eat more whole foods and trying to stay away from dairy and gluten so you can imagine how hard it is to find a place that caters to people like me. Having found this place, its like the heavens opened up. (Gates open) Prices are kind of steep but isn't it already expensive to try and eat healthy anyways? I've had the kale salad and the banana almond milk. Let me just say that the banana almond milk is soooo effin good! It tasted like a milkshake/ice cream all in one. I can't even describe it. I tried copying it at home and I can't get it to taste the same at all. It's that good. I don't even mind spending $5.00 on it as long as I have one only once a week. The kale salad is really delicious and nutritious. I've started to get used to kale and now I really love it. The dressing is not overpowering and the leaves aren't all hard and inedible like some kale salads that I've had. I usually have this and some soup next door from Earthbeam and call it a lunch. The lady working behind the counter is really nice and lets me try some samples as soon as I come in. $10.00 limit on Credit Card purchases though. read more

Absolutely loved this place!!! We got the tamari crackers, chocolate chip cookies, nori rolls and burrito. Every thing was delicious!!! Wish there was one closer to me! I would go there regularly. Healthy organic raw and delicious! read more

I think this place rates about 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up because: (a) their positive energy is great, and (b) I'm thrilled to have a vegan, raw cafe right down the street. The older hippie lady that works there is a riot--she was so peppy on the phone that we knew we just had to check them out. Cons: -As others have noted, it's pretty undeniable that portion sizes are small-ish and the food is expensive. -We went right after they opened, and they only had 3 entrees, 2 salads and 2 desserts available. We would have like to try the lasagna or pizza. I suppose this is just a consequence of our being early, though. -It's take-out only. Pros: -I'll probably go here over and over for the chocolate cheesecake. It was great. read more

I'm not vegan, not even vegetarian but everything I've had here is very tasty and satisfying. The green olive pizza is flavorful and quite filling. The kale salad is delicious with a very nice dressing. The cheesecakes are very good! Love the "crust". I had the mango popsicle yesterday afternoon...so refreshing. Great raw vegan food and just a few steps from home! read more

I have to first start off by saying that I am not a very adventurous eater, and am not on a specialized diet, but I LOVE Que SeRaw SeRaw!!! I started coming here after going to acupuncture and the acupuncturist told me to try her Kale Salad that she bought from there and it was DELICIOUS!! It was crisp and refreshing! So I decided to try it out for myself. My ALL TIME FAVORITE item there is the Mock Tuna! I have had others try it (before telling them that it is raw and not even tuna) and they LOVE IT! Then I tell them what it is and they are a shocked. The chocolate macaroons are yummy too! read more

I do have a real sweet tooth and I am a bit of a chocolate addict. When I have their AMAZING Chocolate truffles, I feel happy inside (because I get yummy chocolate) and not so guilty (because its actually good for me). At $5 for 6, I think happiness in a box is reasonably priced. Awesome. read more

Innovative and tasty prepackaged health food. I love their nori rolls - no rice! And their soups are delicious too. I usually come here after a workout when i'm on a health binge. Only problem is that it's kind of expensive. Just because food is organic, fresh, healthy, etc., doesnt mean it has to be expensive. Tasty, quick and convenient though :) read more

Yes, I have to join the long list of people heaping praises on Que SeRaw SeRaw. I spotted this place while over at Earthbeam one day, and brought my wife and daughter here to check it out. We had one of their veggie wraps. While this was not entirely my taste, I really appreciated the freshness and flavor of the food. My wife and daughter thought that it was absolutely delicious. There is also a kind of personal love and caring in the making of the food that you won't find at hardly any other restaurants at all. At this place, it seems like the owner truly cares for the health and well-being of the customers rather than making a buck. And speaking of bucks, yes, this place is a bit more expensive than others if you are looking to fill your belly. I don't blame the owner though--rents (especially in Burlingame) and employees are expensive and she has a tiny operation. She works in tandem with Earthbeam next door for the health and benefit of their customers, and her food is freshly made from natural, organic ingredients. Five stars. Just one thing; all food is take out only--there are tables and chairs outside for your dining pleasure, but this is not a "sit-in" dining establishment. If it's raining, just take your food home or to work and tell your family and co-workers about this place. read more

I found this place on the Happy Cow app, looking for healthy places to eat when I was traveling. I really liked the kale salad and the vegan crackers (I tried the Dragon Crackers, the Sunflower Power Crackers and the Tamari Crisps - hard to choose a favorite). Nice people, too. I try to avoid all sweeteners, so the honey in the salad dressing and the dates in the crackers were not ideal, but also not overwhelming. I am very glad to know of this place, and will be back the next time I am in the area. Back again in 2016: This place saves me from airport/restaurant food when I travel in the Bay Area. Really liked the Hakuna Metata Salad this time. Thank you. Long may you wave! read more

Going Green is the new "in" thing. Raw food is a nice change and you feel so good knowing you are being good to your body. Only tried the Green Olive Pizza and Kale Salad. Both were very delicious. I can't wait to go back for some more. They are nicely packaged so it is easy to buy ahead for lunch/dinner. They close at 4 pm and on Sundays but they bring the remaining products over to Earthbeam Natural Food next door for purchases. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. With its cramped interior, lack of seating, and food that looks akin to the culinary version of elevator music, this place is rather underwhelming at first glance. But if you can get over the fact that your food isn't piping hot (or even cooked for that matter), you'll find that the food definitely tastes better than it looks. After ordering the Rustic Pizza, Vegetable Lasagna, and I think Mock Tuna Pate and realizing there wasn't enough food to feed a five-year-old child let alone two grown adults, we threw in an order each of the Beet Salad and Nori Rolls. I especially liked the pizza crust and "authentic" flavor of the lasagna. The food was healthy and surprisingly tasty, but unfortunately the high prices, petite portions, and inconvenient locale are reasons enough for me to not frequent this place. read more

This is my all-time favorite lunch spot. Most items keep well in the fridge overnight and I can take them to work to eat the next day. The women who work there are super friendly--they are always willing to accept phone orders or "save" your favorite items for you to pick up. Their salads are SURPRISINGLY FILLING and give me tons of energy, especially if I have a nighttime class. My current favorites are: -the Buddha Bar (tangy jicama, avocado, red pepper, cilantro) -the Seoul (bean sprouts, carrots, mushrooms with a spicy dressing) -the Hakuna Matata (dino kale, avocado, pepitas) -the Thai (cabbage, carrots, sprouts, and mint with a spicy nut pate and sweet dressing) I also LOVE their raw cinnamon rolls, scones, and desserts. They've been doing a great job lately of introducing new items and expanding their menu, so I never get bored. read more

I started practicing raw veganism when there were only a couple raw vegan places in the city and was fully raw over 6 years ago...let's just say there were hardly any options back then and so much less options/creativity. This place just about blew my mind in quality, taste, organic locally sourced etc and etc. Their treats are extra yummy with so few ingredients. Best salads, best thin raw wrap for a burrito. Raw vegan lover's paradise and this place will make it easy to make the switch to become one! read more

I'm loving this place lately when I find myself in Burlingame. The owner Alicia is very friendly and helpful. I've had the kale salad, spring rolls, and almond milk with banana - SO refreshing. I generally just prefer raw food for taste and texture more than anything, so this spot is perfect. Too bad there's not one in SF! Note: I was in yesterday when they were making the spring rolls. I requested one made without avocado (yes, I'm the only person in the world who doesn't like avocado) and they fulfilled my request happily! Pair the food with a Kombucha Tea from Earthbeam Grocery next door and you're a healthy, happy human. read more

One question: When are you guys going to open a full restaurant? I want this delicious and nutritious food to be served on a gold platter as it deserves. I had the caesar garden burger on salad greens and all I could say was "ENCORE!" Keep doin' what you're doin' and raw-k on! read more

Bit pricey but definitely delicious. Picked up the nori wrap, the burrito, and the arugula grape fruit salad. Ingredients were very fresh and for a meal without meat it made it very doable to enjoy. read more

Not sure why I waited a year and a half to drop by here! A great daily selection of grab-and-go vegan and gluten free items (both sweet and savory). My first time there, I decided to try one of the Poquito Burritos. Verdict? So delicious and full of flavor! The dehydrated veggie wrap was such an interesting touch - loved how light and thin it was. The portion size was great and filled me up for lunch without over stuffing my stomach. Love the concept here - fresh, organic, daily-made. Definitely interested in trying the Kale Salad and Hakuna Matata salad when I return! read more

Healthy, Super Clean, and Yummy! Vegan! Great place for anyone. Kale salad, Nori rolls with mock tuna and the kale, almond milk smoothie are awesome. read more

This was my first visit to Que SeRaw, and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I am not a veggie/vegan but I do try to cut down my meat consumption as much as I can. After reading the reviews here, I went with the Nori rolls ($7). It was delicious! The portion size was just right for me - I am definitely full. Since I was there, I decided to try the "Krispy Kale Snacks" as well, which were also very tasty -- really crispy, with really upfront salt & lime flavor. I still have most of the package to last me through the next few snack cravings. I can understand that people complain about the pricing - if you get a bunch of different items here it can certainly add up. But on the plus side, it is really fresh, delicious food, and really fast & easy. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I'll certainly be back to try the kelp noodles & pizzas! read more

What amazing tasty raw food! Far tastier to me then Cafe Gratitude, I would say. Everything I tasted was delectable. I wouldn't complain about the price, the quality of food is real raw organic, and with the way this corporate GMO-run country makes it so difficult for organic farmers to survive financially, the prices make sense. Organic food is expensive. read more

I got the Mock Tuna Patè and it was so satisfying and filling. I'm actually craving it right now it was so good. I like the food selection and how they was samples of stuff so you could try before you buy. Their sweets are awesome too! Wish they were closer to me. read more
