Pagan - Reviews

This restaurant is a true neighborhood gem! I was impressed by their dual menus, offering both Burmese and Thai cuisine. From the Burmese menu, the pumpkin stew with shrimp was a standout, perfectly spiced and balanced. The biryani rice served as a side was absolutely revelatory – one of the best rice dishes I've ever had. The service was exceptionally kind and efficient, and I truly loved the homey atmosphere of the restaurant. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. They added a 20% tip to my to-go order, on top of the cash tip I had already given. This felt like very disgusting and dishonest behavior. Furthermore, the restaurant itself was dirty and smelly, with all surfaces feeling sticky and dusty. It's a shame when small businesses resort to such practices, forcing customers to dispute charges with their bank.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be the best Burmese food in San Francisco. I highly recommend trying all the soups and the flatbread curry appetizer – they were yummy! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was quiet, contributing to a very pleasant dining experience.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was yummy, and it's a nice family-run establishment. I'll definitely be back for sure. It's a great place to eat, especially after visiting the art at the Legion of Honor.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely incredible! I was completely blown away by the unique flavor profile of the food. I started with the chicken satay, which was served with a delicious side sauce, peanuts, and cucumbers that perfectly complemented the dish. For my entrée, I had the Chicken Kebat, and I'm struggling to find words to describe how incredibly satisfying it was. The reviewer even offered to Venmo the price back if I didn't like it, emphasizing how good it is! I also enjoyed the coconut rice, which truly made the dish come alive. This was one of the best dinners I've ever had in SF.

My experience at Pagan Restaurant was fantastic! It's a true hidden gem with a chill vibe that still manages to feel cool and cozy. The food is incredibly flavorful, thanks to a creative menu that offers something for everyone. You can tell a lot of thought went into each dish, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Whether I was popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely meal, the service was friendly and laid-back. It's definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the mood for tasty food and a good time!

Visiting San Francisco for the first time with my husband, we stumbled across this gem. The food was so good we forgot to take pictures. We got the chicken Pad Thai and a the Burmese dish, chicken kebat, which was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The service was great and quick! Highly recommend and we will be back.

My experience at this restaurant was a pleasant surprise, starting with the familiar comfort of the Thai side of the menu, where Pad Thai is a safe bet. However, the real discovery was on the Burmese side. I was intrigued by the Biriyani rice, which, unlike the frozen version from Trader Joe's, offered a wonderfully soft flakiness. The intensity of cinnamon and raisin flavor was remarkable, and the protein (chicken, beef, lamb, or shrimp) was incredibly tender. If you're open to trying Burmese rice, you should also indulge in their super savory rice noodles. The Nan Gyi Thok allows for customization with chili flakes, cilantro leaves, and red onions to your preference – truly yum! The service was also very polite.

We stumbled upon this restaurant randomly and were pleasantly surprised by the flavor combinations, which were both surprising and delicious. We tried the vegetarian pagan curry and another vegetarian garlic dish, and both were great. The service was attentive, with only one waiter who was working very hard. The atmosphere is typical for a neighborhood spot, though the smell was a little strong upon entering. Despite that, we will definitely go back. It's worth a visit, especially since it's right next to Land's End park.

My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The tea leaf salad was just okay, especially when compared to an amazing one I had elsewhere. Upon entering, I noticed a strong smell of cleaning solution, which was a bit off-putting. On the positive side, the prices were fair.
