The man at the register is super kind and has amazing service, always helping out by cleaning tables and bringing anything you need. The whole place just feels very warm and local. Food wise, the pho is honestly mediocre (Oasis is definitely better), but the banh mi is great for the price and the meat over vermicelli dishes are outstanding. If you want super authentic Vietnamese food this might not be your top pick, but for a mom and pop spot in Pacifica they do an amazing job and you won't be disappointed.

I've been going here since they opened 5 years ago and realized I never offered a review! This…read moreplace definitely deserves its laurels because it consistently delivers high quality pour over coffee, lattes and fantastic brunch food. Kudos to Eddie (the coffee roaster!) for all the hard work he's poured into making this business a cornerstone of Pacifica. That being said, I'll offer some tips: - Parking is crazy here if you arrive anytime after 10am on a weekend. You're competing with grocery outlet shoppers, surfers and people who want free parking to go to the beach - the wait can be really long on the weekend so ordering online helps, although they make the drinks on the spot so you will need to wait for that Personal recommendations! - the cliff side and Cubano are my go to drinks! - their Lox toast is legit! I've been to so many places to try their lox and this seriously is the best - it's loaded with lox and it is so flavorful. The salad dressing they use on their mixed greens is citrusy and is a perfect complement to the field greens

Never a bad meal - we always order their breakfast dishes and coffee. Everything is high-quality and freshly made, so it's nice to support a local small business. We (as a family) tend to eat breakfast dishes + coffee beverages at least once a week at Soul Grind. The bad: There are a few laptop campers who take up larger tables. I saw an individual who was camped on a bench (the one by the register, made to accommodate 4 to 6 people) - they were sitting there alone (laptop, headphones on). It was clear they had been there for several hours, slowly drinking one beverage. Witnessed an elderly couple ask if they could sit there instead, and that person grabbed rudely their cup and moved it towards the end of the table, as if to say they weren't moving. I don't understand why individual remote workers can't sit at smaller tables, instead of inconsiderately taking up larger spots. Soul Grind should implement minimum party seating/time limits - individuals like this ruin the atmosphere/vibe.

What a pleasant surprise to come across this gem of a place tucked in the corner of a large plaza!…read more We ordered: -Special Sandwich: slow roasted pork with all the typical pickled veggies and jalapeños. The BREAD is SO GOOD. Crispy, chewy, and toasted to perfection! -Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls: comes with three large spring rolls! Love how it's made to order so it tastes super fresh. They could work on their peanut sauce to make it taste more authentic and less "pasty" or thick. Otherwise, really yummy! Only downside to this place is the prices...$13.75 for spring rolls is a bit expensive and $19 for the sandwich is also pretty pricey. Service was decent in the sense that you order at the cashier and they call out your number. If I'm in the area again, I would come back.

This restaurant is right off the Skykine blvd and the starting point of entering Pacifica where if you keep going you will hit the ocean and be one with the sunset. This appears to be popular with the locals as we saw many people came in to order takeout. The owner and waiters were nice and checked on us with our meals. We ordered four dishes the beef chow fun had good flavor and texture. The Maylaysian Curry was Cooked with chicken, beef BBQ pork, and prawns along with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots and had great flavor we enjoyed. It goes great over white rice. Salt & Pepper Pork Chop was Crispy pork chop tossed in garlic and jalapeno was great texture and crispiness but wish it had more flavor to it but overall a solid dish. And k always enjoy a good Eggplant in Spicy Garlic Sauce that was Eggplant sauteed with mushrooms and onions in a spicy garlic sauce was good as well. I hope to come back again to try other dishes. All the diners seem to be having a good time. This is a solid restaurant to come eat here. Yummy in my tummy and I hope to try the Truffle Beef Mushroom Fried Rice and Honey Walnut Prawns with Pumpkin sounds yummy in my future tummy

I would recommend looking up their instagram just in case this happens to you. The team was kind and patient as it was my first time there. I ordered the loaded fries with a patty and it was delicious. The burger patty was seasoned and juicy. The fries were crispy similar to In n Out fries. With the sauce they used for the fries, I feel like I got a burger and then some. For the price, that will probably be my go to order since it is more filling than one burger. Overall, good food and I will try again at the original location.

Super solid smash burger! We got a double of the classic burger (I wish I could handle spicy cause…read morethe jalapeño one looked good!) It was tasty and delicious. I wish the bits were crispier and more smashed but it's one of the best you can find on the peninsula. We also got the French fries. Pretty standard frozen fries that were fried well. I would call before you go because they happened to be doing a pop up at fieldworks when we went so we had driven to the wrong spot. Prices also are fair and not expensive! Just expect a long line depending where they are. Try not to look at the dirt and grease caked on their equipment though....

Besides the items I mentioned in earlier reviews, want to shout out the excellent Hot & Sour Soup, full of so many different delicious ingredients, it has become one of my favorite H&S soups of all time. I also love their Black Bean Sauce, with any protein you choose (although I love it with chicken breast) -- it is truly delicious. String Bean Chicken is another favorite. The chefs are two brothers, and the terrific Ricardo, at the front, is one of the chef's sons. They are a wonderful family. If you've bypassed this place but never stopped in, or if you're from the North Pacifica or Montara, Moss Beach or El Granada, it is definitely worth the trip -- it'll become one of your favorite (if not THE favorite) Chinese restaurant on the coast.

You order at the register and then grab your food from their pick up area. It wasn't that crowded on a Friday morning (maybe 2-3 other parties there). They also have lawn games (corn hole, jenga, etc.). I ordered their breakfast burrito ($15-$16) and it was pretty big (ate 3/4 of it before getting full). The taste was good and it comes with a salsa (not my favorite so I used hot sauce).

Vibes are good. They only have outdoor seating but it was nice and there are heat lamps, good shade. Only one bathroom, which had a very long line the entire time we were there. Order at the counter, pick up your food at the window, bus your own table.

It takes a little bit of time for the food to be prepared and ready but in the mean time you can always take pictures with their various photo ops (such as the dino eating Putin and King Neptune on the roof) there or go into their anti- animal cruelty gas station shop. There's a couple small picnic table seating outside, but it was raining at the time and already some people there so decided to take our food to go. Definitely do need a table to eat the food since it's a lot to share though or at least be careful if you're eating it in a car. We got the: 1) Mobba'q Spaghetti: -This is their impossible spaghetti with impossible ground beef meat and a hint of bbq sauce. -Reminds me of sweet Filipino spaghetti from Jollibee's but of course vegan and you get more spaghetti and not as drowned in sauce, which is a good thing. As a simple spaghetti enjoyer, this was probably my favorite dish of what we ordered. 2) Louisiana Fried Chicken Plate: -We can choose up to 3 sides and we got the Southern style collard greens (hey, my beardie eats this), smackeroni (mac n cheese, contains gluten, but soy free), and potato salad (contains soy, but is gluten free). -You get a HUGE amount of sides. You can probably get full on the sides by themselves. They do NOT skimp out on the portions. -Delicious mac n cheese. Sauce is a bit more "fluid" and gooey and less dense and cheesy which makes it much easier to eat. Solid potato salad with the perfect sour and creamy taste. Big chunks of potatoes and other veggies in included. -You get several HUGE pieces of their Louisiana fried chicken. No bones since it's vegan so another plus for me. Nice and crispy on the outside and not too dry on the inside. Super dense protein bits that go great with their sauce. Definitely can get full from this and it's easily shareable. 3) Vegan Rib Tips: -It has like that Asian pork floss texture but super condensed and obviously vegan. -Went great with their bbq sauce, completely different texture but a delicious protein snack on the side. If I'm visiting my chuckwallas again, I don't mind stopping by for another visit.

This was a crazy experience. We were hungry and it was getting late( almost 9 pm) on a Saturday…read moreOctober night in San Bruno, California. We went on Yelp and searched for Vegan food and found this interesting food truck with great reviews. We were excited as this truck was parked in a gas station with a vegan yes completely vegan food mart and a giant statue of a rooster outside. This was the most fun part of this experience. The prices on the food truck did not match what the young lady - new employee " I'm sorry I don't know this is my 6th day" - rang up ( $1.60 more per item). When I asked her and her colleague( Caucasian lady about 5 ft 4 inches tall), the latter just shrugged her shoulders, walked out of the truck and passed us without responding on her way to the gas station rest room where she stayed for the next 12 minutes( till we left. I asked our first contact about the hours posted on the sign on the truck as in open for breakfast and she stated nope, maybe 11 or so. It was sad because the new employee was trying so hard to push the taco meal deal combo for an additional $11 on us. The tacos had two tiny pieces of soy. ( photo). We got the food to go and unwrapped everything at the hotel. The burrito was not bad. We were starving and just woofed it down. I was tempted to call the number on the side of the truck and run a check on the owner who has a different truck in San Francisco but decided against it. Sometimes you just got to let it go.

It was a quiet, wonderful evening with great ambiance and a relaxed atmosphere. There were some beautiful moon paintings on the wall done by a local artist who happened to be there tonight.
