I made reservations for dinner. Reservations highly recommended. Serves all-vegetarian dishes.Service:Excellent service! Very homey, no fuss. You feel that they're not overly ambitious and not too eager. That is good. Being too eager puts the customer off. There is complimentary WI-FI. Environment:Tables are jam packed next to each other and it is so easy to unintentionally eavesdrop a conversation at the next table. The wooden chairs are pretty small, and so it the table. The restaurant is dim

Excellent service! Very homey, no fuss. You feel that they're not overly ambitious and not too eager. That is good. Being too eager puts the customer off. There is complimentary WI-FI.
Environment:
Tables are jam packed next to each other and it is so easy to unintentionally eavesdrop a conversation at the next table. The wooden chairs are pretty small, and so it the table. The restaurant is dim and a candle in the middle of the table provides lighting. Food:
Hope you can read the text. So the first thing you'll notice when you read the menu is how creatively they named their dinner sets. I'm 'In the mood for love when I order my portobello burger. Vietnamese vermicelli with fried tofu and skewers is Love Actually. If your friend orders creamy soy tomato sauce organic pasta with cheese and assorted veggies they are saying 'Be Mine' (whether it's directed towards the delightful dish or to you....) The sets are mostly around $110.
Portobello mushroom and pineapple burger with yam fries and salad$108
This is a very thick burger, but be rest assured it isn't demanding on your calorie quota. Coz it's all thick-sliced pineapple, tomato and one regular-sized portobello mushroom. I always dissect my burgers so this method was clearly suitable for this particular operation. It is nappied in a piece of butter paper to prevent collapse. There are exactly three chips on the side, and a green salad with a special vinagrette
Aerial view: look at the three fat chips. very precious and delicious. But honestly its' a good health option coz nobody really needs too many chips. Healthier alternatives they were - sweet potato, potato and maybe pumpkin? Nicely crisped and well-seasoned. The portobello patty was juicy, chewy and rather meaty. The pineapple was grilled and slightly caramelized. The large disc of tomato was sweet. The buns were grilled too, with a thin layer of mayo (home made probably) on each bun. The buns were sufficiently thick and had a crisp edge and a soft, chewy center - just how I like burger buns to be like in terms of texture! Accompanying the salad was a red wine vinagrette which was very intense and concentrated. Very sweet, not too tart, but I think there wasn't enough olive oil. Not very silky and it kind of hurt the palate - it should act as a binding and lubricating agent for the salad instead. It was special though.Vietnamese noodles with fried bean curd and skewers (mock shrimp)$98
Julienned cucumber, carrot; italian flat-parsley (NOT corriander thank God), chopped cashews and perhaps a trace of peanuts, fried tofu cubes, mock shrimp skewers, and a quarter of lime for squirting. It's a refreshing dinner to have, and quite healthy, and I must say the mock shrimp skewers were delicious. Texture: al dente! hahaa...and it tasted like shrimp too! But it is deep fried I believe. Conclusion:
For a restaurant featuring an all-vegetarian menu, Veggie SF has done well to satisfy the average omnivore. It cannot satisfy a carnivore though. I would come back again, but only after a few months. Prefer having some meat in my meal.
