    A longtime fave with fun vibes and a personable staff. The food’s always been solid but felt even more refined this time, including a few new menu items (the always great yakisoba def leveled up, miso Brussels sprouts are way more interesting then your average offering, and the crispy Korean “tacos” were bomb). If you haven’t been in a while, I suggest giving it another visit.

    This has easily become one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco. The Vegetarian Restaurant Week Menu was absolutely amazing. Their Vegan and Vegetarian options are so flavorful and outstanding. They have a wonderful Natural Wine selection and so many fun pinball games.

    Maybe the best value was the tater tots. The tiny cup of ketchup was insufficient and the extra 50 Cent charge for more ketchup, was a WTF! The other dishes were OK, but not stellar. The service was erratic, and although we were the first customers of the evening, it still took them more than 10 minutes to take our order after we closed the menus and waited. Overall, we were unimpressed and wouldn’t return.

    We love Outer Orbit! The ambience is cool and relaxed, perfect for families or friends dining out. The food is very good and the customer service is awesome! We celebrated our son’s birthday and had a bunch of kids for dinner. The staff was great and made us feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you for the wonderful dinner!

    If you haven't gone to OO, you must go! We saw OO on Check Please! as a recommended eatery; we had a wonderful experience! The food is outstanding! Attentive and friendly service as well! We had the Smashburger and it was superb with perfectly cooked fries, crunchy on the outside and moist inside. We decided to take out the shrimp tacos and so glad that we did! They were the BEST tacos we have ever had, and we have traveled globally and have eaten at many eateries. Highly recommended! We plan to return to OO!!
