Restaurants in Pacifica

“Great food and love supporting local Pacifica restaurants!”

“Love this place from the soups to the dishes this place has great tasting food. Plus the homemade chili oil is in my opinion the perfect addition to food served there or if purchased on foods at home”

“Superb 4 star in my book.”

“Such a warm and welcoming place! The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and they even gave free juice to the kids, which made them so happy. The food was fresh, flavorful, moist, and absolutely delicious—the best meal we’ve had on our entire San Francisco trip. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the amazing hospitality!”

“Best fish and chips we have ever had. We miss not being close enough to eat here. Always look forward to coming "home" and eating here.”

“Gillian & Gina run a beautiful business. My favorite thing to do is to make a reservation and bring friends to get the traditional Afternoon Tea Service. They also offer a more casual walk-up menu. This menu includes assorted Tea Sandwiches, Scones served with Clotted Cream and Preserves, Crumpets served with Meyer Lemon Curd, Assorted Sweets and a large variety of Loose-Leaf Teas. Everything is delicious. Also this past year they have been generously hosting Pop Ups for local makers. They also have lots of treasures for sale. Lovey's is a wonderful place.”

“I didn’t expect the hot pot place in Pacifica was good but wow~~~
We were looking for some hot food after an hour watching whales by the beach.
We found this place on Google maps and gave it a try.
$40 per person for AYCE hot pot and grill which is great price in Bay Area.
We ordered about 40 items most were good and fresh.
The lady waitress was very friendly giving us suggestions. We definitely will come back!”

“Fun surfer punk dive bar with cheap drinks and outdoor patio, complete with surfboards. Free popcorn and occasional handcrafted wood oven Italian pizza for sale outside. Surprisingly, many big names have played at this tiny beach venue, like The Mummies & Supersuckers! This place continues to create new memories for me each time!”

“La atención y la comida muy buena”

“Great wines and lite bites”

“Food was good. Staff was friendly and was always around when you need them. Will definitely come back and recommend”

“An absolute gem! The food and drink, the people, the vibes, and the decor are all amazing. Love that we have Golden Sol in Pacifica. Get ya mind, body, and soul right!”

“Get the grilled pork banh mi, do it! Sweet & smoky with fresh fixings on fantastic bread. Consistently delicious over the years, the quality has kept up. It's not a cheap sandwich, but it's a good size and you won't regret it. Why are you still reading this?! Go buy yourself the sandwich! Hurry!!”

“The eatery is conveniently close to Highway 1. The inside space is appealing, the cuisine is expertly cooked, and the servers are attentive and amiable. Although the restaurant's interior is small, there are benches outdoors. There were also restrooms. A pleasant setting for a holiday.”

“We recently discovered a new local Indian restaurant in our neighborhood, located near Safeway in Pacifica. We tried the goat biryani, chicken curry, and garlic naan, and all dishes were exceptionally flavorful and well-prepared. You might want to customize the spice level; while the restaurant's dishes are milder than other places, they still offer a satisfying heat suitable for those sensitive to spiciness. The portion sizes could be slightly larger to better match the typical serving sizes at similar Indian restaurants in the area, especially considering the price point. The service staff is attentive; they check on your table frequently and ensure a pleasant dining experience. However, adding a selection of imported Indian beers, such as Kingfisher or Taj Mahal, could enhance the authenticity and provide more beverage options for customers. The restaurant features a casual ambiance with a quiet atmosphere, spacious tables, and comfortable seating. I plan to continue supporting this establishment as one of the most authentic local Indian restaurants in Pacifica.”

“Amazing coffee , amazing bagels, amazing people, amazing location. I went on Monday morning the two young men working there were amazing very respectful very good energy. Thank you, you guys made my day better 💕💕😘”

“I had the bulletproof coffee, light roast with half and half. It is so delicious even with no sweetener. I highly recommend you stop in, the staff is super friendly and fast.”

“Closest place to get a coffee and watch the waves and whales. Chili link was decent.”

“Best bran muffins and I love the pumpkin pie.”

“Vegans items are not clearly labelled, would clarify with staff.
Got the tofu bahn mi with no mayo. Very flavorful and still moist despite the no mayo as the tofu was marinated and moist. Small amount of seating inside and one small table outside.”

“their chocolate cream pie is rich and tasty!”

“Friendly staff and yummy tea. Thank you”

“This was a great meal! The side salad/soup/apps/entrees came out of the kitchen fairly spaced out so it felt almost like a fine dining experience. Did take a while so know that it is a whole dining experience - not just a quick meal out to eat. I got the Saba no Shioyaki grilled and liked that better than the sushi my partner got. The tempura was amazing and so was the Age Dashi Tofu appetizer!”

“Such a great menu! These guys are the best!”

“Great friendly cafe, right on Pacifica’s beach. Lots of whale watching and hang gliders nearby. Super music on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm.”

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.”

“good food Coffey and people”

“Yum… Can’t get enough of P-Town Coffee n Tea.”

“Came here for the first time and I’m impressed! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef teriyaki and it was cooked perfectly — tender, flavorful, and the sauce was spot on. The presentation was beautiful as well. My wife had the Sushi Salmon Paradise and loved every bite, and my father devoured the Megabite roll. We also had the tempura string beans with onions — crispy, light, and just downright delicious. This place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood — you’ve got to try it!”

“Customer service is great!”

“Longboard Bar and the people of Pacifica are a whole vibe. I cannot express this deep enough. Nestled along the coast, this venue is spacious, the service and hospitality of the bartenders is on point, and the people, oh the people. I'm from the city and I didn't know they got down like that.!!! Super chill or super hype within reason. You have to go!”

“The meat was tender and smokey with rich flavor. The ribs were tasty. My wife liked the brisket, it was moist and had good texture. The beans were ordinary. The slaw was good. Everyone liked the corn bread.”

“Stopped in on Monday, Indigenous People's Day when they seemed to be one of the few restaurants open. So happy we did. Our waiter, David, made excellent low-cal suggestions, was prompt, attentive, and remembered our names. Everyone was exceptionally welcoming. Very close to Pacifica Beach. Highly recommend.”

“I’ve been a fan of The Green Enchilada for many years. The owners and staff are phenomenally warm and will remember you. I’ve been here countless times since before the expansion into the neighboring unit and always bring out-of-town visitors for lunch or dinner. I’ve never had an issue ordering vegan options.”

“Found this gem on a random Wednesday waiting to drop off my. Bestie at the airport after flight was delayed. Highly recommend this place!! Cheap, STRONG drinks. If you are not a professional do not attempt this maneuver without a designated driver!!! Outstanding specialty cocktail menu. Everyone was super friendly. We even got free pizza (that was delicious) from next door.. Didn’t get the bartenders names but they were awesome. After playing Scotty doesn’t know 3 times on the jukebox I k ow they won’t forget us. Even the guy that came in to clean their taps was great. Outdoor patio was cute but it was raining so we didn’t get to enjoy it. Will definitely be back with reinforcements.”

“I had their americano, and on another day I had their Guatemalan coffee with a little bit of sugar. Man they know what they are doing. Loved their coffee ☕️ so much that I had to leave a review! ?”

“This place is wonderful! I've tried almost everything on the menu, standout items are xiaolongbao, fresh cucumber salad, zha-jiang noodles, and spicy wontons. All of the vegetable dishes are good, but the spicy green beans are my favorite. I live in the neighborhood so I go every week, one of the best places in linda mar.”

“The food is amazing! Armando is a FANTASTIC server!!”

“Great vegetarian options and sauces 😋”

“Breaker’s is a great comfortable place to get a broad variety of “comfort food” at a reasonable price. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Portions are definitely biased towards large. Our favorites are Crab Panini, Patty Melt, and Monte Christo. Definitely an affordable casual good quality restaurant close to picturesque scenery with numerous hiking trails.”

“Everything are so delicious, I will definitely recommend it to my family and friends.”

“Go during lunchtime for the best value in the Bay. $25.99 and you can eat enough food for 2 days.

Great variety in the appetizers and drinks as well.”

“I just wish they were open Sundays!!”

“Here on vacation, saw the reviews of this place, and so glad we stopped by to try. It's take out only, owned and operated by a nice couple. Family of 4 was only $58. The food was hot, tasty, and enough of a portion size to fill you up. We will definately come back next time we are in town.”

“Claire and Suna are sweet and welcoming. I have been a customer for a handful of months now and they make me feel like family. I enjoy their coffee (latte), their hot turkey sandwich is solid and açaí bowls.”

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!”

“Great food and love supporting local Pacifica restaurants!”

“i seldom dine-in in this place but always when i crave for some pizza and especially a great delicious pasta VIVA ITALIANO IS THE BEST @ pacifica, ca. They served always the food freshly cooked and it’s really delicious and the people that worked there are friendly. Worth everything!”

“Just grabbed a bite at Humble Sea Brewery — insanely good. I started with the Power Bowl with chicken, then ordered a hot dog, which was next-level delicious. Also had a few glasses of Boogie Board Night — really solid beer.

Highly recommend this place. I sat at the bar — super friendly, chill bartenders, great vibe, great service. Awesome spot all around.”

“What I appreciate most about this cozy local gem is the delicious honest food, staff and ambiance. It’s just an honest to goodness great place that’s been here for decades and I truly respect that, in an era where most restaurants get too fancy with chaotic music and weird fusion menus for the sake of being “cool.” But not here. This husband and wife team deserve all the patronage, they are hardworking and genuinely friendly folks. Upon entering, the wife came out from back, greeted us right away and offered us to pick any table. We ordered some beer, Tom Yum Koong and Pad Thai. Fairly basic items but there was something special about each of them. The beer was ICE cold and also came with a frosty mug. I don’t know why most restaurants/bars don’t offer the frosty mug anymore but it’s a detail that shows an extra level of thoughtfulness for their customers. Next, the Tom Yum Koong soup, which came out quickly. Note: a medium level heat is still fairly tolerable. The highlight of this soup was a surprising slight sweetness, we couldn’t place where from but it was pleasant and overall delicious. Lastly, the well plated shrimp Pad Thai with generous sauce had excellent depth of flavor. We were so impressed with a tasty affordable dinner, which came out to less than $60. I also appreciated the little tamarind candy that came with the bill. Parking is easy as there’s a small lot in front and street parking. There are so many small details to love at Pacifica Thai. We look forward to returning soon!”

“Great pho, pork chops, wonton noodles soup 🍜 and wide option of rice plates and dry vermicelli bowls. I’m so glad we have a great Vietnamese restaurant in Pacifica. Highly recommend.”

“It was a delight finding your place! We looked at 2 other places before you... one scared us, 😆 and one was just not for us! We found your little place! Burgers were great! Onion rings awesome!! Atmosphere 💯! Thank you”

“I had my birthday dinner with friends there. The Owner and Staff was so accommodating and attentive! We all had a wonderful time! The food was fresh, flavorful, and felt authentic. The whole place has such a warm, welcoming vibe. Thank for making my birthday special!”

“Tea World is my favorite boba shop in Pacifica.”

“Great staff, excellent customer service.”

“the people are tu nice,❤️👌 everything it's clean 👍🏼🍻👌”

“My favorite sushi in the Bay Area! I drive all the way from San Jose just to come here almost weekly. The fish is extremely fresh and melts in your mouth. Consistent quality! Peggy and her staff are great people! I can only speak very highly of them. It’s a small place but the vibe is warm and welcoming. Highly suggest stopping here! And ask for the spicy edamame- it’s a secret menu item and it’s amazing! Also great vegetarian options- the eggplant roll is incredible!”

“The señorita bread is incredible! We will definitely be back for more. The person working the register when we visited last night was extremely warm and helpful!”

“This review is not for the food, but for the customer service at this location. I ordered, ate, and left, only to go home and realize my phone earbuds were missing.

I called the store and a man who I think was the manager picked up. Not only did he look for them, he also asked me if I had associated a name with my order and what I got so he could check the video footage. He was able to pinpoint when I was there and told me he'd call me back if he saw that I'd dropped them on the video.

I ended up finding them, but I am so deeply appreciative of the time the employees here took to reassure me they were doing everything they could to help me with my lost item. They truly went above and beyond and I hope they are recognized for it.”

“My 6 friends and I arrived and the place was empty to our surprise, but we received amazing service from all employees, including the cooks! Portions were generous and food was amazing.”

“As a Breakfast advocate and a local: this little gem, although tucked away in a busy shopping center has so much to offer. I am a stickler for Customer service, clean environments...and of course.. GOOD FOOD. I ordered the French Toast, which was impeccable and absolutely divine. My Wife ordered a vegetable omelette (w/ sausage) and they did not miss a beat!!

....so don't let this old shopping center scare you off! If you want somewhere closer to the beach, get it to-go and enjoy it front row across the way with your toes in the sand!”

“Bonito lugar con linda vista Asia el mar”

“I've been dining at this restaurant for club events for several years. Our club receives a varied menu: prime rib, Chicken Cordon Bleu, salmon or surf and turf. The price of our meals include wine, hors d'oeuvres, dessert and gratuity. That's pretty reasonable given today's expensive eateries. The staff is friendly, personable and professional. Food is prepared quickly and efficiently. I recommend this restaurant for small parties/groups. 😊”

“Great place for families. and go to after kids games. Val & Max very customer oriented.”

“The best place to eat Hot & sour soup in pacifica.”

“I love pad Thai pad see Ew bbq chicken bbq libs for 5star”

“good food with huge serves.. very casual.”

“5star...best homemade food, prices and portions on the Coast!”

“They might close before 9? Walked in Friday night at 7:20pm and most of the lights were out (but their door was open). Asked if they were open and a older gentleman gestured for us to sit. (Update: Tried to go at 7:40pm another night and they were already shut down tighter than a drum. It's like they're allergic to money.)

Food was good but service was odd. Like if you didn't grow up with a surly, emotionally distant Asian mom like I did, you may feel uncomfortable. For instance, the first thing out of her mouth was not "welcome" or simply "hi," but "no more buffet." Not sure if they meant "today" or "*ever*," but I didn't ask...?

I think the woman was the chef and not only the waitress because she walked between the kitchen and the fridge (just out in the dining room) a lot as well as served us, while the man mostly just sat there.

Garlic chicken, mo hinga (fish soup), and pork curry were great. The mo hinga was not fishy and was topped with delicious fried lentils that were like a crunchier version of tempura flakes. The pork curry included hunks of soft, gelatinous tendon (not fat but you might get confused) and came with rice. The rice noodles were a bit thin and on the cusp of becoming too soft.

Tea leaf salad was good too but not as good as at Rangoon Ruby. You have to mix it a lot or the clumps of tea will be too salty.

I feel a little snubbed that another reviewer got homemade chili sauce but we got a bottle of Huy Fong sriracha, lol.

Portions and prices are reasonable. Two of us polished off 4 dishes.

Shan noodles are apparently the dish to get at Burmese, according to Eater San Francisco, but I didn't notice they had it until later.

The menu has no prices and the bill apparently includes tax and doesn't charge any B.S. fees. We tipped well and paid cash because I couldn't trust Maps saying they take card and communication was a bit difficult.”

“Highest quality bagels! Incredible service.”

“The service and food are 5 star.. This is the only place I know where if you ask just for a meat burrito nothing else in it , you will get a regular size burrito full of meat not like other places where the size of the burrito reduces to a small roll. They are very generous with the quantity and chips and salsa are unlimited , food tastes fresh and delicious .”

“i LOVE their nachos they load it up SO good and full everything tastes amazing its just a lil pricey. although! my dad did get sick a at their sister location so im always a lil nervous”

“Super delish! Service is good....”

“Great all around restaurant! appraiser's, pizza, and dinners! Great Family Place!”

“One of the few fast food options with real vegetables available and all at a reasonable price. The new app brings some much appreciated discounts for repeat customers. This particular location can be fairly generous with portions but once in a while you will get one of the smaller servers who also thinks smaller portions of food is acceptable but I would disagree. Service is fast and almost never out of any of the main dishes or available mostly fresh in a few minutes of ordering. Thank you to all staff for providing good service at one of the few options for health concerned people.”

“My favorite Chinese restaurant. We eat there each time I visit my family at Daly City and they also do home delivery!”

“This is the perfect place to get a great bite of food and a tasty beer. Relaxed environment with a friendly Seahorse / ocean vibe. Owner is welcoming and makes some incredible food. They have tv, music, fireplace and games. Check it out when you’re in the area! 10/10.”

“Great Sandwiches n Chowder 👍🏽”

“The staff at the Oceana Blvd. Starbucks is awesome!! They are very personable, remember your name and what you like to drink. They wished me a happy birthday the day before my birthday ( when I used my birthday reward) Then on my birthday they wished me a happy birthday again. Good job!!!”
