Stopped by with a little over one hour between flights on a Thursday mid morning (Memorial Day…read moreweekend). I landed into terminal F and walked ~10m to get to Terminal B. The line was okayish (see photo). Took about 10-15m to get to check in desk. The lady at the desk was friendly. She asked me to scan my Priority Pass twice and boarding pass twice (standard, two different scanners). She asked: you just arrived? I said: yes. Then I was motioned to go in. Took the elevator up one floor to access the tables, rooms, showers, bathrooms, food, and bar. Today the hot bar served scrambled eggs with artichokes and spinach, sausage links, diced fruit, chia pudding, and cereal. The other food bar had a pot of oatmeal (with topping options), pot of mushroom congee (kimchi & green onions toppings), bread options (bagels, muffins, sliced bread) with spread options (cream cheeses, pesto, butter, etc). Beverage bar included coffee machine, teas, orange juice, and soda dispensers. The first plate of food was pretty good. I was hungry so happy to have hot food. The sausage was moist and flavorful. My second plate I got a bowl of congee which was unflavorful, but with the kimchi it was fine. I also popped in some sausage. I chose the sliced bread with different spreads. I don't drink regular milk so I had to forgo my latte. I made an espresso and added oat milk, but it was pretty terrible. But if you need caffeine it's something. I didn't have a hard time finding a seat. Other guests were kind and accomodating to each other. Bathroom was busy, and I had to wait a couple minutes. It was decently clean. Overall happy with my experience.

I did like that everything was self serve, so you can grab as much food as you want and relax before boarding. One thing I would recommend is arriving at the airport at least three hours early if you plan on visiting the lounge. I only had two hours before my flight, and I ended hp being on the app waitlist for an hour before getting in. The lounge can get busy, so plan ahead to give yourself enough time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.

For my first lounge experience, I have to say it was pretty nice. They had a lot of space, but it…read morewas very busy, so it was hard to find a seat. When I walked up to the buffet-style breakfast, there were no plates--only bowls. That made it a lot harder to grab what I actually wanted. I eventually found a seat and tried to eat, but it was so crowded that there weren't any seats with tables available. I ended up finding another spot with a ledge, so that worked. The eggs were good, but there was no cream cheese for the bagels. After toasting one and realizing there wasn't any cream cheese, I had to eat it dry. I'd suggest adding that to the spread--no pun intended. I tried the strawberry-infused water, and it wasn't very good, but the orange juice was pretty good. They also had a robot moving around, though I'm not sure what its purpose was. There were people collecting trash and plates, which helped keep everything clean. Overall, I think I would go back if I had the chance.

Awesome club lounge at the SFO airport, terminal F. The entry was set back a ways but on busy days…read morewould allow not to all be standing right at the elevator. The check in staff were all super kind and there was an abundance of food and drink options. Unfortunately like many club lounges, they've become quite busy and people are very tacky with the space they use. It was full and difficult to find a seat but we eventually made our way to the far back and found something comfy. There was the standard Illy coffee bar with my favorite espresso drink machine. They also have that fun Coke freestyle machine! They had snack options, three salad options, chili, pasta, cream, puffs, cookies, cheese, and crackers, and a number of other options. Very good selection! The bar was off to the side and there were a ton of great beverage options for the adults as well! Really enjoyed our visit to this lounge at the beginning of the F gate.

If there's no wait list, you have 10 minutes to get to the lounge once you check-in on the app. If there is a wait, they give you a time to come back, so it's convenient to plan. If you have the black card, I don't believe you need to wait. But also, if you have the black card, wouldn't you be flying on PJs?? I do think it's not quite as luxe as I would have expected for the Amex brand, but it's not bad for free access. Space is pretty clean as well considering how busy it is.

Food is much better than most other lounges and they have a wider beer, bourbon and whiskey options.

I stopped by before a trip since it was the closest option to my gate and accessible with Venture X. The space itself is pretty small, though they do offer showers which is a plus. Unfortunately, that's about where the positives end for me. The food was subpar, and if you want anything better or even certain drinks, you have to pay for a higher tier. That definitely took away from the whole lounge experience. Overall, I was not impressed. I would avoid this place if you have other lounge options available.

One caveat though that Jamie W and I discovered was that if your flight leaves from International Area A, you're given access to this business class lounge instead. That's because it's a rather excessive 25-minute walk away from the United Polaris Lounge in International Area G. When we asked the check-in agent whether this lounge was comparable to Polaris, he gave it an 8 out of 10. He was being much too generous. It turned out to be a claustrophobic two-room space where ironically, the first-class room was more cramped than the general area. There were barely any outlets, and it was so tight that the rotating chairs kept banging into each other. There were three warmers of hot Chinese food, but none of it was that tempting. We managed to snack on stale cookies and diet soft drinks. There was a full staff operating here, but the experience didn't really warrant that level of attention. I think the next time, we'll just build in the extra time to get back and forth from Polaris if we really want the more ideal lounge experience. RELATED - Waiting at the airport?

As a result, everyone is funneled into China Airlines Lounge. I feel bad for the staff because it quickly got overfilled and the staff member checking guests in couldn't even do check-in because she was running around bussing dishes. Food was average. Fried rice with what looked like frozen veggies. Chicken and broccoli which was a bit salty but not bad. Self serve bar is nice though! Made a gin and tonic that was tasty. Fortunate enough to snag a large corner table with chairs and a booth. Was able to be productive amidst the chaos.

The food is good and pretty varied - I had some Thai coconut soup, chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, and pancakes from the fun pancake machine. Halfway through my visit, they brought out some gildas & spanakopita. They're also stocked with treats like Ghirardelli chocolates, cookies, and more along with snacks. They have a freestyle Coca Cola machine but when I was there they were out of any diet options. I opted for an unsweetened iced tea. The bar area is beautiful and signature cocktails, house wines, and beer are included. There is an up charge for "premium" spirits, wine and beer. Overall this was a great lounge experience - plenty of seating, easy entry, good food, and good drink options. Well worth the $15 up charge for Priority Pass and I'd definitely return.

Alaska Airlines Lounge -- SFO Terminal 1…read more Red-eye out of Honolulu. Three hours to kill before the next flight. Walking off a plane at that hour, you are not looking for much, just somewhere quiet to land. The Alaska Lounge was right across from our gate. First time in, and the staff made it feel like they were glad we showed up. Friendly, genuine, no airport-zombie energy. The space is impressive. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tarmac and the hillside, plenty of natural light, and seating for every mood: work tables, soft chairs, window loungers, even a private booth if you need to take a call. I planted myself at a window seat and didn't move. The bar is well-stocked. What stood out was having an actual barista on-site. Oat milk latte and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal, exactly what I needed at that hour. One honest note: the food selection was thin and several items needed restocking when we came through. The staff were apologetic and moved quickly, which matters. But the variety just wasn't there. Solid lounge. Good people. Great space. The food program has room to grow into what the rest of the experience already delivers.

Feel free to order more than one entree. The older Asian couple next to us knew what to do because they ordered a starter and then two mains each. Not sure how often the menu changes, but for dessert, I would skip the matcha panna cotta and go for the cookie. It's basically a mini version of BJ's pizookie, complete with vanilla ice cream. The main lounge itself has decent seating areas if you can snag a spot. Bartenders were hit or miss. One didn't seem super friendly, whereas the other was way more personable.

For me, the quieter side of the lounge was better though away from the food. Here you could see the progress being made on the Terminal 3 construction. Also the bathrooms on this side of the lounge were definitely cleaner and no lines. The buffet was so so but we were able to get seated in the dining room after just a five minute wait. Last time was over an hour so this visit was leisurely. Lunch options were small plates and satisfying. Beef kofta was a little dry but tomato harissa sauce helped a lot. Shrimp orzo with saffron was tasty with three large prawns. The wild mushroom bourguignon bouchée was my favorite with the meaty sautéed mushrooms layered on top of a puff pastry and covered with the boursin sauce. I would order it again. Polaris signature burger was a consistent go to for at least one of us. Juicy beef, crispy bacon and grilled onions on a brioche bun was filling. Lastly dessert choice was the matcha panna cotta and it disappointed as the matcha was just a tiny layer at the bottom of the glass so no discernible flavor. At least the grapefruit topper was juicy along with the sesame crumble were both the highlight. Great service from Elsa through our meal! Hopefully it doesn't get more crowded after all the fare changes United made to get more paying customers for Polaris.

The lounge is spacious, understated, but has a bit of an aging modern austere-ness to it; it wouldn't hurt to refresh this lounge in the near future.

The noodle bar appears to be able to provide many different types of dishes to suit your need. I opted for some little roast beef sliders that were way better than they had any right to be. There were plenty of other food options available but I was stuffed from earlier and kept things light. There are showers and other private spaces available here. Staff were nice and helpful.
