I liked the taste of the food better when the atmosphere was less fancy, before they took time away and moved, they had better selection and more flavor. . . It’s probably a better business style now, but it used to have more Soul!

I love the food at Souley Vegan! My first experience was at the Martinez location and then I found out that location closed, so I was really happy that they relocated to Jack London Sq. For brunch, we enjoyed the country fried steak plate and bowl of the gumbo. Everything was delicious.
Seating was kind of confusing (no stationed host and no sign to seat ourselves). There were only two staff on the floor so it took awhile for them to notice us and seat us, even though there were plenty of open tables. There was a woman staff member who was so nice and lovely when she had time to check on us, but she seemed kind of frazzled because she could have used more support. I hope they are able to hire more front of house staff. As I was eating, I could tell that incoming customers were confused and kind of annoyed while they waited to be seated.
The music selection was GREAT! But the music volume was SO loud. My ears kind of hurt and it was so hard to hear my friend. My friend and I mostly ate in silence because it was too much of a pain to try to have a conversation. That was kind of a disappointment.
Overall, the food is really good and worth it. But, from now on, I’m just going to order food to-go.

Wife and I really enjoyed the Thanksgiving buffet during our honeymoon visit to town. All of the offerings were great and both of us really enjoyed the black eyed peas. The oxtails with the gravy was my favorite, a bit colder than I would have preferred but still fantastic. Candied yams were also great. We were slightly confused as to where we received and disposed of our plates, as well as the ticket system but we figured it out. Appreciate the casual atmosphere & everyone was very friendly. Thanks for offering this option.

The new location is all good vibes! The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, the music is always on point, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Highly recommend the cornbread and beignets soooo good! Perfect spot for great food and great energy. ✨

Heard about the soft opening and I’m here for it! Love the new menu!! Had the Pray 4 Me burger that beat Bobby Flay and I can see why. It comes with tastiest fries. Love the little bit of cole slaw in the burger. It’s very balanced. It’s hard to stop eating the fries. Also ordered the Brussels Sprouts and it was expertly done. Very fresh and delicious.
This new spot is so chic. I love the period details. Long bar. I can see this place quickly become the new “it” / destination spot.

I was really disappointed with my experience here. I wasn’t expecting vegan food to feel like a “fast food” experience, but unfortunately that’s what it was. I ordered the country steak plate, and it was not what I had hoped for — the “steak” tasted more like a fried bread patty than a hearty main dish. The mashed potatoes were decent and had acceptable flavor, but the kale had an odd, perfume-like scent and taste that I couldn’t get past. I was also surprised at how heavy and high-calorie the food felt, which isn’t what I expected from a vegan restaurant.
On top of that, the restaurant itself looked like it was still in the process of being set up. There was no waiter — we had to serve ourselves water, and all food orders were placed through a QR code. What really felt absurd was being asked to leave a tip for a waiter that didn’t exist. Overall, the whole experience fell short of my expectations.

Walked in and was able to choose any table with my group of 3. Scanned a QR code for the menu. Ordered online which i do appreciate as then the group isnt waiting for the server and the other way around. It is also fantastic for splitting the bill because you pay when you place your mobile order. Food was cooked to order and OH MY GOOOODDDD amazing. Truly the best vegan food ive ever had. I got the chicken and waffles and french fries to share. The fake chicken was fried to perfection, seasoned to the gods, and didnt need ANY sause. Im usually a sause girl too!!
Great music
Love the self serve aspect
Good location! Walked off the meal along the pier.

We were there Saturday for the “soft opening”. The new location at 101 Broadway is very nice, the trains going by on The Embarcadero add a little extra to the location!
Since it was the first day open they had to work through a lot with the new everything. There are too many tables in the front bar area to make seating more than 2 people at a 4-6 person table comfortable.
Some of the Menu items were not available but, we were informed by the host soon after the order went in and we ordered something else.
Another difference is the menu and payment are all electronic (QR Code at your table). Bring your smart phone and plastic or payment App. Also, it would be nice to have the Staff familiar with the WiFi and password available to the customers? As a suggestion to the owners, perhaps they could have a printed menu and cash payment options?

Simply amazing. Everything was a hit, even the sides. My partner loved the faux gator bites, I was blown away by their vegan fried chicken and my gumbo was perfection. The cornbread sealed the deal! Please support them, I know I’ll be back anytime I’m even remotely near the Bay Area.
