Between how this part of South SF has been getting completely made over (or, in a lot of cases, newly built) and how poke bowls are like the perfect workday lunch (for me, at least), it's not all that surprising for a poke joint open up around here. However, even though I've passed by this office park numerous times, I never would've guessed there was one here! Not that I'm unappreciative, mind you - while I imagine this place can get pretty busy during the day time, I love how quiet and chill it was on a Saturday night! Located within The Cove at Oyster Point, Truffle Poke Bar is one of just a handful of retail businesses surrounded by several large office buildings (there's also a few other eateries, a Starbucks, a yoga studio, and an Orange Theory). As such, there's not much foot traffic at night, except for the waves of food delivery couriers that I saw walking in to pick up orders. However, there's a reason why so many folks order from here - the menu (and the food) look terrific! While the range of options here isn't as extensive as at other places, you'll still find all of the usual offerings, along with their signature truffle aiolis and even raw oysters! For my bowl, I opted to get their REGULAR POKE BOWL (Four Proteins, $18.95) with Ahi Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi, and Crab Salad with Scallions, Crispy Onions, Ginger, Sliced Jalapeno, Tobiko, Wasabi, Seaweed Salad, Ponzu Cucumber, Original and Ponzu Sauces, Furikake, and Truffle Aioli over Mixed Greens and White Sushi Rice. All together, unlike their menu, this thing was HUGE! All four of the proteins were terrific, the seaweed salad, ponzu cucumbers, and crispy onions, in particular, were great, and the aioli wasn't super heavy on truffle either! Plus, I liked that there was a balanced ratio of rice to proteins to toppings. While I can't say I had any major issues with my bowl, I do wish a couple of things about it were different. For one, it was a bummer to see the crab salad listed as a protein instead of a topping like at other places (though, to be fair, you get a lot of it). Also, it felt a little light on both of the sauces, as well as the truffle aioli, which I got a small dollop of. Even with those minor complaints, neither are anywhere near enough to deter me from coming back again. With all of the available parking and the wealth of seating both inside and out (on a Saturday night anyways), Truffle Poke Bar is such a convenient spot around here to stop in for a quick and easy bite. Or to order delivery from when you're stuck sitting in another meeting that really should've been an email. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Regular Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

My poke was soupy and it spilled on me. The woman who was there on Friday night had her airpods in. We ordered at the kiosk and wanted to customize our order, but couldn't talk to the woman making the food. I've always thought this place was mediocre, but come here because we like the taro chips with aioli. The taro chips were burnt today and have had minimal aioli for the last 2x we've been. For $8, I'm happy to skip it and make our own or patron some other place that respects us as customers. My husband vomited up the food. For a $20 bowl, this was such a lackluster experience. We're truly so disappointed in this place and don't plan to come back. We will drive the extra five miles to get poke in Burlingame, NOT at the sister restaurant to this spot. read more

ONLINE ORDERING BEWARE: They WILL switch the fish on you without notice to a fish you didn't ask for if they "ran out" Also it is not "SCOOPS" you're getting. You're getting whatever arbitrary gram they have on their little scale. They use tongs to grab a lil bit of fish (2-3 pieces) for each of your "scoop". So 4 scoops will, if you're lucky, get you 6-8 pieces of fish. Fish quality is alright but after ordering 2-3 times, just to test they're at least consistent with giving you jack didn't squat. read more

Good poke! The location is clean with good customer service. The poke itself was pretty fresh, the only caveat is that the salmon was very salty. All in all, I enjoyed the poke bowl and the service was great. read more

Door dash so we didn't even see the inside of the establishment, but I would like to try it in person some time. Was very efficient even with delivery. Delivered sooner than expected. On DD they had an offer on the chips and dip, but one get one free, so of course we ordered those. Chips were good, not as thin as we're used to but good nonetheless. I ordered the small BYO: rice, glass noodles, crab, tuna, scallions, mango, kimchee, pickled cucumber, and crispy onions, ponzu and original sauce, w spicy aioli top on the side. I know for sure I won't order the glass noodles- unless that's the only base I'm ordering. I didn't see fit mixing everything together, the noodles were cold and hard. The ponzu and original sauce were no where to be found so the proteins weren't flavored at all. The ratio of Kim chee and cucumbers overpowered everything. And as stated it says pickled cucumbers but they were just sliced cucumbers. D2 ordered the regular BYO bowl: rice, 2 portions of tuna, crab, tofu, cucumbers, edamame, and crispy onions w ponzu and original sauce w regular aioli top. Her proteins were lacking the ponzu and original sauce as well. She definitely liked hers. For the first time for us it far exceeded our expectations. read more

Yeah not a recommended location. I scheduled a pickup of 7 poke bowls a day in advance for pickup at 11:30am for a 12pm meeting. I arrived at 11:35am and check with the staff who tell me it's not quite ready. Ok, no problem. 11:45am rolls by and I'm getting nervous so I ask again. I was told other orders need to be prioritized first including someone else who had a large order. What does that even mean?! Why am I not a priority? 12:00pm. I check in again and she asks me to patient. I'm freaking late for my meeting! Be patient?! You're 30 minutes behind and haven't started my order! She asks if I want to cancel. No?! How will I even get replacement food this late?! 12:15pm. I am so upset by now and I think she can finally tell so I finally hear "make orders for Elaine". 3 people hustle and get it done in like 10 minutes. How hard would that have been 30 minutes ago?! Omg. 12:25pm. I'm out the door. Distraught. My meeting patrons are forgiving but I don't enjoy the poke one bit anymore. read more

Just ordered a poke bowl for dinner tonight through Uber Eats and drove there to pick it up. It was wrapped nicely in a plastic bag. When I got home to open it and eat it, I saw these tiny flies over the bowl, there was 4 in total as shown in the photos and I even took a video of them crawling around. I was afraid to eat the food with the bugs crawling around even thought it was outside the bowl. But knowing this is poke and raw, you don't know how sanitary the kitchen is. So I contacted Uber Eats for a refund since I was afraid to eat the bowl. I asked for a delivery fee waiver but they wouldn't do anything extra. I will not go back to this location. read more

Been a here a few times for their weekday happy hour for oysters and it's always delicious! They also have a good deal on drinks for HH, including beer on tap, wine by the glass or bottle, and sake. The Poké is pretty good here too but the oyster HH is what I keep coming back for. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - HH $1.50 oysters - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Great poke at a reasonable price point at Oyster Point. You can select from premade poke bowls or make your own. Either way, you can't go wrong! Fish is always fresh and the flavors are light enough so you can still taste the ingredients. The sheer amount of different ingredients from the base, proteins and veggies are my favorite things about Truffle Poke Bar. They also offer taro chips here for a unique crunch to the delicious poke, especially with truffle aioli or oil. I've always enjoyed my poke here. Parking can be tricky but there is a parking garage so you can get your steps in. read more

The poke bowls are good here, it's one of my favorite poke spots. You can order on a kiosk or telling the workers what you want over a glass container. It was a little hard ordering over the glass but you just have to speak loud and clear. There is space for enjoying food inside and outside. The restaurant is in an awkward spot but it does have lots of parking. Almost hard to find if it's your first time. Definitely would recommend, I've attached my order below. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

This location seems somewhat hidden to get to. It seems to be in the middle of hotels and high-rise businesses. I can see how this business along with a few on the block, likely cater to the Monday through Friday business crowd, and maybe the weekend visiting crowds.. Upon entering the restaurant, it appeared very clean and neat and one side is cashier/food preparation site. If you look to the left when you first enter, you will see a self serve, ordering kiosk. It's very easy to order. It's like looking at a huge iPad. For the first time it may take a little longer because you were reviewing all the items on the screen. But by my second time, it was easy to navigate. I have been here twice and have not been disappointed. The first time was enough to have my taste buds crave it. The second time I went, I brought a dining partner of which they ordered oysters, along with a poke bowl too. I do not eat oysters, so I am glad my dining partner could enjoy all the oysters to themselves. We came on the weekend and ordered a dozen oysters, but they ran out so we only got eight oysters (and since we paid at the kiosk, they offered to pick 2 beverages). I heard it was fresh tasting and yummy. They gave the chosen oysters a thumbs up. My poke bowl had a lot of different ingredients that I do not get here in the Silicon Valley or South Bay, so I definitely ordered the more unique items, but it was all good. I can remember I ordered shrimp tempura, glass noodles, truffle aioli, spicy shrimp, spicy tuna, and I think spicy crab at the very least. I also ordered the Taro chips but I think I won't order it again. It was just too hard, although pretty to look at it. Natures artwork is on the chip surface. I understand their other locations in the Bay Area so I would like to try Burlingame and San Mateo soon Highly recommended if you can get to South San Francisco. As you drive away in that area, you can drive over to oyster point harbor and enjoy your otder while you look over the San Francisco Bay. read more

Love the unique options here! Big fan of the Kale Mango Base and I appreciate that they weigh the protein because it provides consistancy in every bowl! They also have truffle aoli which is extremely delicious to add on top of your bowl. I would definitely recommend trying the taro chips, they're pretty good. Around noon they do get a lunch rush because it is conveniently located in Oyster Point, but if you go anytime before or after that you most likely won't catch a line. read more

Online delivery ALWAYS WRONG!!!! This is the second time I've ordered delivery from them and it was wrong yet again. The first time they gave me a wrong base, this time they didn't give me my 4th protein at all. I also didn't get my sides. THE WORSE. Pick up as been much better but delivery don't bother. I should have gone with my gut and went somewhere else. At least I got my money back from the delivery app for them messing up my order. Beware. read more

Visited Truffle Poke Bar last week with my friend and I enjoyed it a lot! There's a good amount of parking in the area which I appreciate a lot. I went with the regular bowl and created my own! I like to load up on proteins, veggies and toppings usually. It's always nice to put what you want vs already set menu honestly. I mean don't get me wrong if you're unsure what you want then you can definitely just choose that preset one! All their dishes and ingredients are fresh and tasty! I appreciate how quickly everything in from the moment you walk in and out within minutes! Overall the poke was good but I don't think anything really stood out to me to be honest. Glad it's also close by my house so that's a plus. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Very disappointing experience. The employee helping customers was extremely rude and unprofessional. Even though we were clearly next in line, he didn't acknowledge us at all or speak to us. Being ignored like that as paying customers is unacceptable. On top of that, I found it highly inappropriate that he was wearing both sunglasses and headphones while working. It came across as childish and unprofessional, especially for a grown man in a customer service job. The lack of basic courtesy and communication made the whole experience feel very disrespectful. We ended up leaving and I'm honestly so glad we didn't spend our money here. read more

I said I couldn't care less about their truffle aïoli, I'm not really a truffle person. But everything else that they have out there is good quality and flavorful. It's such a vibe that they also have beer on tap and alcohol at the restaurant don't really go in there to eat much but if I do, I'd rather spend it outside to enjoy the day. I love how they have the option of mangoes, I was really curious and it really enhances my whole poke experience. I also love their crispy onions. I wish they could give me so much more lol. Don't forget to order their taro chips! I use them as tortilla chips scooping out my food. My order : A small salmon and crab on sushi rice bowl. With house and Ponzu sauce, tobiko, edamame, mango, crispy onions, furikake, and there's probably more haha. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Salmon and Crab - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

This place USED to be really good until they messed up all their portions. Now like 2/3 of the bowl is rice (which is packed SO hard it all comes out in clumps) and they are SO stingy with everything else. I watched the server remove and swap out individual pieces of fish until the weight on the scale matched their tiny little portions. You'd think we were rationing in WWII!! read more

The poke bowl I got was absolutely delicious. Brown rice was a nice flavor and texture, the amount of salad mix was perfect, I loved the add-ins like kim chi and daikon. Ordering was straightforward. They made clear what was gluten free and what wasn't. I would def eat here again. read more

Fish is always very very fresh. Serving sizes are massive, even for a small bowl. Truffle chips are massive enough to be its own entree. Good variety of bases, proteins, add ins, and toppings. I wish the sauces had more flavor/saltiness; I don't really get an umami-ness from my order every time, and I come here quite often. Overall, I don't really dig the flavors of the overall bowl, wish they use more sauce or had more variety of sauces like an unagi sauce. read more

I was not pleased with the customer service at all. I came here for lunch as I was staying at the hotel nearby. I have never been here before but seems to be like any other build your own poke. I did notice they offer many different options of protein and even the base has more options that the average spot I've been too. I liked that but it took me a little bit to see all the options. As I was ordering we got to step number 3 (add scallions or not) and the worker who was building my bowl asked about scallions after saying something about Tuna. And I got confused so I told him the last protein I wanted was salmon. Idk I couldn't hear him. So then he started telling number 3 to me. I got confused and thought he was asking what the 3rd protein I chose was so I repeated all the proteins I wanted. He continued to yell "number 3" I was confused still but then realized oh! Step number 3 in the building bowl process is to choose whether you want scallions. So I realize and I say, sorry! I didn't realize what you were asking. So then we get to step 5 with the aioli. And I was asking what the different aiolis were like instead of answering my question he repeatedly yelled "number 5! Number 5" and I told him I understand you're at step 5. I'm asking what the aiolis taste like. I told him the "spicy aioli is just like a typical spicy mayo, right?" And he continues to yell "step 5! Step 5!" I'm trying to stay calm because I was truly just asking. I tell him "yes I understand you but I'm asking about the aiolis". He then just pushes my bowl over to the next worker. And she starts telling me step 5. I was like I understand I just am trying to decide which aioli is best. She gets frustrated and I'm so confused. I'm just trying to explain to them that they're overwhelming me by telling me. I was just asking a question. So the cashier comes over because the worker was so loud when they yelled me. I was like "I'm sorry, I'm just wondering what the aoili's taste like so I can decide" she was like "oh". I just tell them never mind that step and just put it on the side and continue with the rest of the bowl because at this point I was very anxious. And felt weird that I was being yelled. I have never been spoken to like that in a food establishment. I walked out of there feeling like I was going to cry by how overwhelmed I was. The food was decent. Honestly can't even fully talk about the food because I was so stressed when eating. So maybe it was good. Like I said I did like the options but didn't like that the workers weren't willing to help or suggest anything just yelled at me. read more

I remember when this place just opened years ago. Now I'm finally trying it again for a second time. We ordered the large poke bowl and truffle taro chips with dip to go. I really like the unique toppings for the bowl, which include the glass noodles, pickled peppers, onions, and radishes. I can tell this is a Korean fashion poke place. I liked how everything tasted even the crispy taro chips and aioli dip, but I was sad that they forgot to put the taro chips on my bowl when I asked for it and it was extra charge too. And the proteins were pretty small portions. Parking is tough here, especially on a weekday when it doesn't look like people park here for the restaurants. read more

Very little portion and staff can be nicer. It's like they don't want you to come back.

I ordered Truffle Poke for lunch! I like how they use compostable packaging, and everything came perfectly! I got the Tuna Lover poke bowl which comes with tuna, scallions, original sauce, crispy onion, edamame beans, seaweed salad, kimchi, black tobiko house spicy aioli, and furikake on a mixed greens base. It was very very filling and they do a generous portion of the toppings. It was a solid lunch option for something pretty healthy. read more

Fish was dry and NOT fresh. Non English speaking workers! Over priced for bad quality food!

Came here on the strength of our previous experiences at the Truffle Poke location in San Mateo. It surely disappointed. Ingredients not fresh (seaweed, kale). Also the worst parts, they literally had Happy Hour which we were here for on Oysters (1.50 vs 3.00 each) and we ordered through the kiosk, and later told that we would have had to order at the register to get the Happy Hour price. Literally NO signs that indicate that this is the rule here nor would anyone know this little caveat to their Happy Hour since there's no signage for it. Zero accountability. She just went back to her phone after telling me, no apologies. The Manager or whoever it was straight gaslit me about these 4.25 "White Truffle Taro Chips" with ZERO TRUFFLE OIL. Tasteless, no Truffle taste whatsoever. This was not what we had in San Mateo. I asked her about it and she pointed to the Truffle Aioli options on the menu. Dude. The literal order item on the kiosk is called "White Truffle Taro Chips" and the description said they were "topped with Truffle Oil". Mine came topped with bullshit and gaslighting. I would have given them one star had it not been for her begrudgingly walking over with a TINY cup of Truffle Aioli. And also the oysters weren't ALL bad, even if we were charged full price during "happy hour". Threw away the tasteless Taro Chips. Skip this place. read more

We ordered two poke bowls and the chips n dip from here via Doordash kind of towards the end of the day on a Friday night and bowls arrived in quick order. The ratios of the bowls are pretty off with not very much poke to a lottt of rice. The brown rice was kind of hard (maybe from being old..maybe from being undercooked) so definitely would pass on it. I ordered my husband the King Kong bowl and I made a custom bowl with ahi, salmon, spam, and spicy crab. Honestly the flavors were really good, but you get soooo little poke in the bowl. All 4 of my proteins in total was MAYBE 1/8 of the bowl. Definitely not worth the $21 price tag especially if you are craving poke! Taro chips were burnt...but would've been great if they hadn't been. Sad cuz I really wanted to like this place since it's so close to work! read more

I have tried Truffle Poke before and wasn't impressed. Since our preferred poke place is closed till end of Oct, I thought I would give this place another try instead of driving to Burlingame. Ordered three poke online - ordering process is easy and straightforward. 5/5 Not exactly looking for presentation since it's poke and an to-go order. Taste wise is disappointing. The fish bite is tiny bits and pieces. You don't get fish cubes at all that means you will not get the bite feels. So, you end up eating a box of rice with seaweed and all the sides. I wouldn't recommend to get the crispy onions at all as it's stale and greasy. It's more trouble to pick them all out. read more

I love this place! I'm local to South city and this is one of my go to poke spots! Super casual. Sometimes I do dine in, but many times I just order for takeout. I usually make my own bowl with white rice, salmon, shrimp, crab, tobiko, seaweed salad, and fried onion. Then I also get an order of the truffle chips. This place is well kept, and the items are fresh. Service is great, always pretty quick. My only complaint is that sometimes they do go too light on the sauce. read more

Nice little poke spot in this area. Free parking garage. Not really much service as they get the order and make it themselves and call our names when it's doneOrdered through a kiosk screen right by the door. A regular bowl for 16.95, you can choose up to 4 meats. May seem like a lot but it is actually very little with no leeway for extra because they weigh the protein on a scale. On the plus side, their imitation crab is phenomenal. Really took the time to split each strand that changes your idea of how imitation crab should be. Truffle aioli sauce was definitely a hit but way too little. Fish is a little fresher I believe, I don't order poke a lot so I'm comparing to poke bowl LOL. Really nice area to enjoy some good food and relax and overall a good bowl besides my need for protein. There's also happy hour, 1:50 for oysters and $4 for Sapporo I wouldn't be able to resist if it wasn't for my diet. Oh I'd probably stay away from the pickled onion. It's not what you'd expect at like bbq joints but up to you, I love trying new things. read more

Food (1 of 2 stars): You're pretty much paying for rice, a lot of rice. The amount of protein they give you isn't even a full standard protein serving size. They just try to load you up on rice and toppings. I appreciate lots of the toppings are included. Service (1 of 2 stars): Came after lunch on a Sunday and one person was working. There were a good handful of orders that this one person had to juggle. However, she was nice and efficient with all the orders! Ambiance (0 of 1 star): It's a poke spot but the music made it feel like a taqueria. Not much else of an ambiance in the restaurant. Would I go again? Definitely not. If I'm in the area, I'd rather go to the other next door restaurants. You're pretty much going to pay a lot for just rice. read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Def one of the WORST places for poke in the Bay Area. I HATE the kiosks with no directions especially since the place wasn't close to being busy and someone could have just as easily taken my order. Folks seemed pretty nice who were working. Inside the place is nice, but not spectacular or anything. Food was definitely subpar. As stated before by others, the ingredients were NOT fresh and quite frankly I didn't finish the bowl because it didn't smell right. Not sure if I would trust getting oysters from this place because the fish in my bowl was DEFINITELY not fresh. Wouldn't waste my time coming here with Nick the Greek right next door. read more

Came here after yoga with two other people on a Saturday for a healthy-ish lunch. Walking in, I was excited to see an order kiosk, but we were told that it wasn't working that day. Looking back, maybe a sign would have helped to avoid confusion. Ordering process was typical to most other poke places but I was underwhelmed by the entire experience + the food. There are lot of indoor and outdoor seating options, and inside it was quite spacious. Staff was nice, but low key felt like they didn't really want to be there? A small Build-Your-Own bowl is $14.95, with a TOTAL of 3 oz of protein (with your choice of two proteins). In general, a typical serving size of any protein is 4-6 oz. They weigh it out in front of you to make sure it's exactly the amount you're supposed to get, which is fair since that's their business model. But again, 3 oz isn't even a full serving of protein. They're generous with the bases and toppings, but skimpy with protein - aka what is supposed to be the main star of the dish. I had so much rice and salad that I actually ended up bringing the rice home to eat with leftovers later. I ordered the Original sauce, which basically just tasted like soy sauce, tbh. It's on me that I didn't try to order something more interesting, but I guess I was wrong to assume "Original" would be similar to "House Special". I didn't add any aioli sauces because I didn't want the extra calories, but maybe adding it may have given my bowl a bit more of an oomph? Variety of toppings offered was fine - I appreciated that seaweed salad wasn't an extra cost like some other places I've been to. But again, it's like they're over compensating on the bases and toppings to distract you from the fact that you didn't get much protein. Even if you work in the area, you're better off ordering from elsewhere on DoorDash.a read more

Truffle Poké Bar - Small Bowl (Build Your Own) (O) - Poke Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Truffle poke bar is located in South San Francisco. It has some indoor and outdoor seating options. The interior is clean and has cool pop art on the walls. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered my food on the self ordering kiosk. I didn't have to wait long to get my food. I built my own poke bowl and I was impressed with the portion size. They were really generous with the toppings and fish which I really appreciated. In the regular poke bowl you can pick up to 4 proteins. I chose the spicy crab salad, salmon, tuna, and shrimp tempura. There are a lot of protein and topping options to choose from such as mango, seaweed salad, spam, and kimchi. There are a couple of sauce options and one of them was a truffle aioli which I got on top of my crab salad. I think this place is a good place to grab lunch especially if you work in one of the biotech companies near by! I want to come back for their oyster happy hour or to try some of their other poke bowls. read more

I ordered through DoorDash a build your own Regular bowl. Food was delivered fresh and fast. I ordered the ahi tuna, 2 scoops of salmon sashimi and shrimp tempura. Everything was really good. I loved the habanero onions, the sauces: spicy aioli, sweet guajillo aioli and miso habanero were all really good. I would order again. read more

Yup it's a chain, but it's darn good! The woman making our food was a little surly but it was 88 degrees outside and frankly everyone in the bay area was a little surly. Then I sat down outside and totally didn't care that she wasn't that friendly because the food was great. We got 2 things for 3 people and it was more than enough. We got Poke'Chips and Rafi's Pick...super happy with both choices. The fish was really fresh, the sauces good and the taro chips were excellent...thicker and bigger than most. Worked out with tip to be a little more than ten per person which an amazing deal for quality poke! I have no idea about their other locations, but this one is in an office park with greek food, mexican food and a starbucks all sharing an outdoor patio. So if you are with people who don't love raw fish there are other choices for them. read more

I come here a lot more than I would like just because it's so close to my workplace. Overall, the poke bowls are pretty hit or miss, but this is still a decent spot if you're looking for a quick bite to eat or a quick drink after work. Poke bowls - Sometimes I choose my own and sometimes I pick the curated bowls. They have a lot of different protein options including less common ones like tempura shrimp and seared spam, and they have a good assortment of toppings as well. My favorite topping is definitely the taro chips which I always get on the side. These are usually the perfect crunch but sometimes they come out overdone and slightly burnt. The bowls are a hit and miss for me, mainly due to the quality of the fish which is sometimes not that fresh. I think the flavor also depends a lot on who is mixing your bowl as sometimes I feel it's really missing seasoning/sauce, despite the fact that I always choose two sauces. Happy hour - They have a small happy hour menu including wine and oysters, which is a fun treat. The oysters here were pretty good on the couple of occasions I've had them. Ambiance - They have some seats at the counter and a few tables inside, but they have plenty of tables outside. The outdoor tables are a nice option as well if you're dining with a group because it allows people to choose options from other neighboring restaurants and still eat together. Service - They are always friendly and helpful. Half of the time I order from here is takeout, and they are always super quick! read more

I love the San Mateo location of Truffle, but this south San Francisco location needs work!!! The staff was rude and didn't seem like they wanted to work, I said hi as I was walking in and wasn't greeted back. Got a blank stare and was pointed to where to order my bowl. Was then just looked at, not a word out of the guy helping me until it came to my toppings. The lady at the check out was also rude, she was also the one who just pointed to where I needed to go to order. The bowl was also not as good as the San Mateo location. Was very disappointed with the food and the service. I will not be coming back to this location ever again. I hope they're able to turn business around. read more
