He got the pork chop and loved it. I had a bite, and I’m curious how do they get it so tender?? I got the fried chicken. The hot honey is incredible, and they put cardamom in their brine or maybe their breading? Nice complexity. Could have used more pickles, personally, but I didn’t ask for more. I have a feeling it would have been no problem to get some.
Both desserts were wonderful. Nice atmosphere. Weird bathroom setup lol. Phenomenal waiter.
In all our visits, the service has been phenomenal and great
Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow.
I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence.
Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach!
From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable.
Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics
The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture.
And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer . I’m officially adding this to my personal “Beer Bucket List!” I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company!
The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate
For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art.
The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully.
Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day!
To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn’t resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat.
And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal.
NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie’s bucket list

While the menu changes daily, you can count on excellent quality. We had the fried chicken, trout, and the Nopa burger, and everything was fantastic. The burger deserves a special shoutout—the house-made brioche bun is perfectly soft, and the patty is thick, fresh, and cooked just right. The drinks are also top-tier; I asked for an espresso martini (which isn’t on the menu), and it was the most perfectly balanced one I’ve ever had.
The restaurant offers a few different vibes depending on where you sit. The second floor felt the most intimate and stylish, while the outdoor seating is a great option if you prefer a quieter setting.
A crucial tip: get a reservation. It will make your life so much easier. While they do take walk-ins, you should expect a wait. For a place that nails everything from service to food to cocktails, Nopa is absolutely worth planning ahead for.
I have lived here for 20 years and unfortunately this mgmt has gotten off the mark.
Carrot mezcal cocktail two flavors fighting for attention and no blend. Flatbread is dominated by preserved lemon and nothing else.
We appreciated service despite never bringing water and as a former member of service industry? This was just a major fail. I can’t recommend and suggest going elsewhere.
early girls: refreshing and juicy, enjoyed this dish
cultured bread and butter: nothing memorable, bread was cold
fried chicken: hard skip, too salty but also bland
cheeseburger: why did i have to build my own burger. wasn’t even tasty. skip.
tagliatelle: solid dish
The cauliflower appetizer was literally uneatable. There were no florets in our dish, just stems that were undercooked. It looked like NOPA bought the scraps from a farmers market, passed it over an open flame, doused it in olive oil and then marked it up 500%.
Your chef should be ashamed. Worse, the dish cost close to $20!
I’m only giving this 2 instead of 1 stars because the services was accepted and the ambiance interesting.
