The best! - Edit
So many outstanding dishes. Must haves are “House Rice Claypot” (not other claypot dishes!), “Lemongrass Deluxe,” and “Crispy Sea Patty.” Absolutely delicious, full of umami and flavor.
Read morePros: Great, delicious food, Reasonable prices for an SF restaurant
Cons: Closes early @7:30, A few dishes are not great. But only a few

Great atmosphere and good food - Edit
This place is extremely clean inside so they get major points for that!
Read moreMy non vegan husband got the fried rice and said it was one of the best he’s ever had! The rice was cooked perfectly and the spice on it was DELICIOUS. It was also a great size- we wound up having to take some to go.
I got the lemongrass tofu. It was good- a bit heavier with the faux meat. I would have loved it on tofu. The sauce was delicious and had a sweetness to it. Only qualm is that it was a bit pricy ($16) and came with 10-12 pieces on a bed of lettuce and shredded carrots and cucumber. It also came with a few pieces of broccoli but for some reason they were pretty cold. I wish for the price it just came on a bed of rice. If you wanted rice is was extra. Just wish it came with more for the price but it was very good. You definitely get more for your money with the fried rice though.
Staff here is very nice and as I stated before the inside is super clean.

Big menu, delicious flavors, relaxing atmosphere, reasonable prices and portions. Everything I look for in a restaurant! They also have the best vegan Vietnamese iced coffee I've ever tried. My non vegan family was equally impressed with everything we tried! I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

Superb food, lesser neighborhood and service - Edit
Everything I have eaten here was superb, I especially liked the ginger rice claypot and the passionfruit lemonade. The food deserves six stars, but the staff was often slow and unresponsive to requests or questions. The new 2021 neighborhood has many homeless encampments, and lacks secure close
Read moreparking, but inside the restaurant was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Take a taxi or Uber. I would give 5 stars and come more often if in a better neighborhood.

I loved my experience at Golden Era Vegan! For beverages, my friend and I ordered hot tea, an iced matcha latte, and a Thai iced tea. They were all very tasty and not overly sweet.

My favorite Asian Fusion restaurant - Edit
Everything is wonderful. The lunch specials are great. My faves are the sweet potato curry, the mushrooms and the green beans. But I usually order off the menu and have tried many dishes. The curries are great and the salads are tasty too. And I always get a Thai iced tea to go with. The buns (forget what they’re called) are a treat. A great place to spend my dinner hour.

The best Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese food! - Edit
Very clean inside, vaccines are required for all dining in. Great portions and prices, they have SO many options. If you’re ever in the mood for good Chinese, come here! I brought my omnivore friend and they loved it too, said the orange chicken tasted real. I had the birds nest noodles & the fried rice, really tasty! $10 university parking lot nearby if you’re worried about street parking.

Amazing vegan Chinese-Vietnamese food - Edit
Love this place. It’s my go-to place for take out because they are so consistent and fast. Lots of choices on menu and everything is vegan. My favorite things are the mochi rolls. Spring rolls, eggplant basil dish, mushroom dish. Get take out on any of the delivery apps like Post Mates or Uber Eats. Not pleasant to park in this area.

Delicious food, amazing staff! - Edit
I called a few weeks before visiting to inquire about the menu and some of the ingredients, and the staff were extremely helpful. They were also welcoming when I visited the restaurant. Also, the food was delicious, wish I had gotten more food from here. I ordered the spicy lemongrass "chicken" which is supposedly the most ordered dish from here.
