Vegan San Francisco: Where to Eat Plant-Based

San Francisco's fully vegan restaurants are a short list, and the longer story is how many kitchens that aren't vegan have a real vegan section: Burmese, Nepalese, Indian, Filipino, Southern and Mediterranean all show up below. Plan around a few all-vegan anchors, then fill in the rest with places whose menus mark what's vegan.

Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar on 14th Street in the Mission District is a fully vegan sushi bar, with miso soup, gyoza and shishito alongside tempura vegetables and rolls. Cha-Ya on Valencia Street is a second all-vegan Japanese kitchen in the Mission, serving gyoza pot stickers, agedashi tofu and a Full Moon Sushi Plate. In the hours we have listed, it is closed on Tuesdays.

Valencia Street keeps going from there.
