ASTOUNDING Beef Curry!
I was only at the restaurant for a short time, but I had the beef curry, and it was ASTOUNDING. It was definitely worth the price. I was initially worried the beef might be weird, tough, or fatty, but it was perfect all the way through.
The spice level was just right – not too spicy and not dull. The only downside is that I live on the other side of the country and can't just pop back anytime I want. You should definitely get some!

Popular Spot with Great Vegan Options
This is a very popular place, and there was a long queue around lunchtime. I opted for the 2 sides and 1 main. The ordering process felt a bit rushed, making it difficult to properly assess all the options.
While one of my salads was not to my liking, the aubergine salad and the tofu steak were excellent. It's also very vegan friendly.

Delicious Shrimp Cake & Picnic Options!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I particularly enjoyed the shrimp cake, which was both delicious and fresh, served with house-made tartar sauce. They also offer many great options to grab for a picnic, making it a convenient choice for outdoor dining.

Disappointing Beef Curry Experience
I've been a loyal customer of Delica since before the pandemic, and I recently returned for a nostalgic visit, specifically craving their beef curry. Unfortunately, my experience today did not meet my expectations. I spent nearly $18 after taxes and over $20 with tip for just a beef curry, without any sides.
I was hoping for a dish with substantial beef, but instead, I received a curry that was predominantly potatoes with only two small pieces of beef. While the taste was as good as I've always remembered, paying $20 for such a negligible amount of protein is not justifiable. I urge the restaurant to improve their portioning of protein for the price.

Disappointing Salmon Sushi Roll
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing, particularly with the food. I ordered the salmon sushi roll, and it was sad. Instead of placing the salmon inside the roll, they put leftover little pieces of salmon on top.
For $15, I was pretty disappointed. The food score was a 2, but service and atmosphere were rated a 4.

Good Avocado Rolls and Service
My experience at the restaurant was pretty good. I bought 2 avocado rolls for $17. 38, and they were pretty good.
The service was good; they were fast and nice. The place looked nice, and overall, it’s pretty good.

Delicious Food, Lacking Seating
My experience at this restaurant was centered around the delicious food. I ordered the soup, dumplings, and green beans salad, and I must say the green beans salad was the best I ever had. It's unfortunate that there isn't a dedicated sitting area, but I was fortunate to find a free table nearby.
The service was okay. I would recommend this place for the yummy food for sure!

Authentic Japanese Bento Experience
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the bento, which was really good. The vegetables were fresh and seasoned delicately.
It was just like the ones from a delicatessen at a department store in Japan.

Disappointing Eggplant Miso Salad
I used to enjoy the eggplant miso salad here, but this time the eggplant was served in large, hard pieces and wasn’t cooked properly. When I mentioned it to the staff, the response was simply, “We fry the eggplant, ” which felt dismissive and unhelpful.

Great Value Lunch Spot
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for lunch. They have a great range of food with something for everyone. While SF lunch is super expensive, Delica is my go-to because you can get a lot of food for under $8 from their food bar.
I highly recommend items like white rice, sweet and sour chicken, pork cutlet, and rice balls, all priced at $3 each. It's also convenient that they open at 9: 30 AM.
