The Roost Reviews
My favorite lunch spot to order from hands down. Great food, great portions. Some of the best cookies, chicken and omg the croquettes!!!! They have been so dependable as a lunchtime staple- and I have to stop myself from making it my go to meal all the time.
Ordered the lunchbox meal with baked chicken, braised sweet greens, and a green tea sesame cookie. The meal also came with cole slaw and white rice. Overall, the meal was a very large portion for lunch and a great deal for $22. The chicken was delicious - tender and roasted to perfection. the cookie was also huge and a really unique flavor - the green tea came out really nicely. I wasn't a fan of the braised sweet greens though - which was too soggy and lacked any flavor.

Lunch at The Roost is one of our favorites in SF. As a pescatarian, this is actually the ONLY chicken I eat, anywhere - and it is delicious. The adobo seasoning is fabulous. Cole slaw has a unique flavor that I wish I could replicate at home. Do try the sweet potato croquettes, but leave room for their brown butter cookies!
