    Chicken Gyro Wrap
    Rajbir S.

    We're regulars at The Bite and get takeout from here all the time. Our go to orders are the lamb and beef gyro and the chicken gyro, and we always add the fries, which are super flavorful and crispy. The portions are generous and the meat is always well seasoned and cooked just right. Our other favorite is the house made chocolate cake, which is rich and decadent, the perfect way to end the meal. We've ordered this combo many times over the years and it's always been consistent, quick, healthy, and good value. The staff are friendly and the orders are always ready fast.

    Lamb and beef wrap

    Friendly staff and quick service. Had the beef and lamb wrap. Meat was flavorful and the sauces were good. Pretty simple decor clean. Wasn't too crowded on Saturday afternoon.

    The neighborhood is still very sketchy unfortunately. Haven't been back in quite sometime. Inside is clean and chill environment. I was the only one there at the early dinner at 18:00 but plenty of to go orders. Vegan gyro wrap. It looked like it suffered from shrinkflation. Tasted good but was super soggy. Hard to eat. Maybe just do the rice bowl next time. Classic hummus appetizer. Finished this after gyro and helped fill me up. Pita was soft and enough for the serving. Everything is served in to go containers which likely helps cleanup. Nice they are opened late though it's likely I'll ever be there then, but nice for delivery.

    Street view with lots of yummy dishes: Beef and chicken kebabs with grilled veggies, lentil soup, rice and salad..

    This is a Turkish gem in the heart of San Francisco. I took my guest there and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the great hospitality. They serve delicious kebabs, specialty dishes, yummy mezzes, tasty salads and soups; especially lentil...After the nice meal, we enjoyed the complimentary Turkish tea..Definitely worth to try and we will be back! Afiyet olsun!..

    Chicken kebab bowl
    Andrew P.

    Very tasty chicken bowl here! The kebab was truly delicious, well seasoned and cooked (though a little dry), the rice was well-textured and tasty. The sauces were saucy and the salad on the side was a great contrast. My main complaint and reason I won't back as frequently is probably the price tag ($23 for a bowl ouch for not all that much food). Otherwise, this is a very clean and comfortable space and the service was friendly!

    The place was okay. It's interesting they don't have trash can to throw away your own garbage (they do tell you it's okay to leave it on the table, but I can see how people walking in could just walk in and see fresh/leftovers on the table, had I seen that I probably would've walked out fearing sanitary and cleanliness) The hummus came with 4 pieces of bread and wasn't anywhere enough to eat it with the amount of hummus I got. I had to order additional bread. The fries honestly were very bland, and had no salt/taste to it. Thankfully I was given ketchup packets. The grilled chicken breast rice bowl was okay. Nothing too memorable about it. Thankfully it wasn't dry. For the prices on the menu I wasn't impressed. I'd come here if I wanted something easy and to go once or for work if I worked nearby but I couldn't go outa my way to come here again. The employees were nice however.

    The chicken Kebab

    We went here on a Saturday night, and we had a party of 8 plus a baby, and this place did not disappoint on space! It wasn't very busy and service was fast and friendly -, also if I could say one thing about this place 'ONLY EAT HER IF YOU LIKE SPICY FOOD'. The food was amazing! And pretty spicy. Which is great if you love spicy food like we do. Anyways, I actually didn't know that this place would be spicy until we went as a family, and the baby wouldn't eat the food because it was "spicy". Anyways, alls good. Also, I would HIGHLY recommend that you come here in the DAY, NOT NIGHT. Because there are shady people in this place at night, since it's San Francisco and it's always shady at night. But anyways, price wise it's typically what you'd expect in San Francisco and we had a great time. Five stars.

    Chicken Gyro Wrap
    Maria W.

    The Bite is great for what its name suggests; as a quick and yummy grab-and-go meal. The service is quick, and the prices reasonable for the city. Here's what we got: Mighty Kale Salad: delicious, with tons of variety in flavor and texture. The beets and tangerines seem like they come from a can, however, so it doesn't seem like the most farm-fresh salad (if that matters to you). Still delectable though! Falafels (4 Pieces): Yum. I liked the sauce. Chicken Gyro Wrap: good. In my opinion, the plentiful flavor, spices, and sauce saves it though, since the chicken itself is a bit dry. I'd still order it again. The Bite Fries (with paprika, garlic, feta cheese): I wish there was more cheese on them, but they were so yummy and spiced regardless, I really couldn't complain. A great accompany to the wrap.

    Salmon Rice Bowl

    Food taste and quality is amazing, definitely recommended. I will forsure come back to this place.

    If I could give more stars, I would! Tasty food and huge portions. Order different dishes and share! The service was friendly and fast!! It's a little noisy, but that's street noise. The interior is quaint and quiet. It was very easy to talk to other members of my party without raising my voice or repeating words.

    For lunch I ordered this very unassuming bean salad but it was an absolute hit for me. Beans' Family: kidney beans, pinto beans, garbanzo, red onions, bell peppers, corn, sumac, and house dressing. For someone trying to eat healthy and have a light lunch, this is for you! I was surprised on how much flavor came through and how fresh the salad was! I think the sumac with tangy dressing really brought it all together. I like that they used compostable packaging. I def will order from them again for lunch!

    4.0 stars for breakfast--see dinner review below (5.0 stars)There are sooo many good brunch spots…read morein SF. In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

    Came here on a Saturday for brunch…read more I got the Holy Chili Bomb Basil Omelette. It had ground chicken and veggies inside, and the chicken and basil were the flavors that stood out. I wouldn't call it spicy at all. The omelette felt small for the price and there wasn't much filling inside. It came with a side of potatoes that were really good. They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

I went back to check in with my boyfriend before deciding to grab a drink after the host sent me on a wild goose chase for the bathroom. Needless to say we were warmly greeted this time by one of the female servers. We told her we'd like to sit at the bar and order some drinks and an app. THERE ISNT A BAR! The outside sign on the restaurant says BAR but there isnt actually one to sit at. We didnt really care and took the seat the server offered us. When I went to the bathroom my boyfriend was subjected to an uncomfortable and verbally demeaning conversation from the manager with all the clips in her hair to our server. She scolded her for seating us at a table meant for a large party ( maam this is levi's plaza during fifa- no large party is coming to dine here). Regardless, it was completely inappropriate of her to speak to our server like that AND especially inappropriate in front of guests. The plantain chips were bland and lacked proper salt. The guac was pretty good. My boyfriend ordered a draft beer and was brought a can that was poured incorrectly with the most head I've ever seen. I ordered a diet coke and it was fine. I would have mentioned something to the server or manager but i just wanted to pay my tab, use the restroom and get the hell out of there. To the lady with all the clips in her hair, glasses and large earrings- please treat your teammates with respect.
