Great Food, Chaotic Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. We visited around 4 am, and it was quite crowded with a variety of people. We decided to order our food to go. The food here is great, earning a perfect score. However, the atmosphere was less than ideal. There aren't many places to sit down, and the restaurant lacked an organized queue system. I observed a customer cut the line, and despite this being apparent, they were still served. This lack of order in the service was a significant drawback.

Disappointing Halal Guys Experience
I’ve had halal guys at other locations around the country. I don’t know if the quality went downhill or it’s just this restaurant but honestly I was disappointed with the food. The flavors are completely different and there are limited toppings compared to the locations in LA & Dallas.

Disappointing Halal Guys Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was shit compared to the original Halal Guys in NYC. It's tasteless and pricy, and really not worth it. I do not recommend going to this place.

Delicious Gyro and White Sauce!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We absolutely loved the signature white sauce. The beef gyro and chicken were cooked perfectly, and the veggies were incredibly fresh. We will definitely be returning during our stay in SF!

Poor Food and Service, Out of Order Restrooms
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The food was of low quality and the quantity was also insufficient. Additionally, the restrooms were out of service, which is a significant inconvenience. The service was also poor.

Too Expensive, Not Worth It
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was not worth the price, and I felt it was too expensive. I would advise others not to waste their money here.

Awful Food and Service
I had a very bad experience at this restaurant. The food was awful — the chicken barbecue had a strange petrol-like taste, the meat was not fresh, and I couldn’t eat more than a few bites. In the end, I had to throw almost everything away. The service was also disappointing; the staff didn’t seem to care and were not friendly or helpful. I feel like I wasted my time and money here, and I definitely wouldn’t come back or recommend it to anyone.

Terrible Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The food was absolutely terrible; the chicken barbecue meat tasted like petrol and was clearly not fresh. I couldn't even eat 5% of it and ended up throwing it all away. The customer service was equally disappointing, with staff being rude and unhelpful, which worsened the entire experience. I felt like I completely wasted my money, especially since I paid for two people, and I definitely won’t be coming back.

Terrible food, overpriced
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. For two people, we were charged $49, and I couldn't eat anything because the food simply didn't taste good. The service and atmosphere were also rated very low (1 out of 5).

A Must-Try Gem: Went Back Three Times!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, leading us to visit three times during our nine-day stay in San Francisco. The hotel concierge recommended it, and I'm SOOOO glad they did! My dining companion and I split dishes each time. I highly recommend the beef platter with either the white or green sauce. The baklava cheesecake is also a standout; it's almost as good as Cheesecake Factory's but at half the price! Beyond the delicious food, the ladies working there were super nice and even support the military. I was surprised there wasn't a line out the door for such a fantastic place.
