$$$-Good Food-Bad Service-Watery Drinks-Takeout Only - Edit
$$$ - Good Food - Watery Drinks - Bad Service - Get Takeout:
Read moreWas visiting from San Jose so first time. Came at 2:30pm for an no crowd experience and did outside seating on parklet (still got people seated right next to me even though whole other section outside was empty). Really great vegan cuisine with mixed international flair-seasonal. Small all vegan menu but huge wine list (not sure if alcohol list is vegan as many wines are not). Non-alcoholic drinks are to put it plainly minuscule in size, watery, and $14 (but they use metal straws so that’s good). Does charge a + 5% for staff on standard bill before tip.
Service is the appearance of good but not: waiter smiley & super perky but forgot extra mint on drink. Ok. And … when I asked to move inside to continue my meal … (smiles & perk were totally gone) he was hesitant, then said I could sit in bar area only as they had shut the main dining area. ok no problem. But he said I could move my items from the table myself (what?). I then asked please help move my plate & drink. He paused, then sighed and just grabbed the plate with nothing else, and did not come back at all. Inside I finished my meal (he was still there but never came back), so I got the hostess to bring me the bill & a box.
1 drink, 1 app & 1 main with tip $73
Bao buns - excellent & mock meatball masala dish great & as leftovers good too.
Bathroom is clean & looks nice. They offer to go service with a dedicated window so Take Out seems is only good choice. Mocktails so not worth it as such a very tiny glass 1/2 filled with ice, watery, and then a touch of beverage.
Wild Seed please don’t give me a hard time to enjoy pricey vegan food or make a bad impression on those trying vegan because of service instead of the food.
Now I gotta make a Happy Cow app profile to review- really hate having to give a vegan place a bad review.
Pros: Boa Buns excellent , Masala great, Masala was great as leftovers
Cons: Bad service - consistently , Small $14 watery non-alcoholic drinks, Expensive + Required Double Tip

A San Francisco staple - Edit
Wildseed is a staple for vegan eating in San Francisco. We have both dined in and ordered delivery and never been disappointed. The Kale Caesar salad, and Rigatoni are go to items for us and you can never go wrong with their pizza selection. Great atmosphere in a great neighborhood. Bonus: a full bar!

Fun Brunch - Edit
We enjoyed brunch at wildseed. The restaurant has a nice vibe and layout. We took advantage of the nice day and ate outside.
Read moreThe service was excellent and the food came out quickly and had a very nice presentation. We shared the sourdough French toast and the veggie burger. The French toast included lots of berries and a delicious sauce. The best part was the cream cheese cream on top. The veggie burger was also good. We added cheese and tempeh bacon. It was yummy! It came with fries that were typical fries - nothing special.
My only disappointment was that the vegan version of the protein options were not made in house. They use just egg for their egg entrees instead of creating something with tofu. The burger options included an impossible burger or the veggie patty. Both are store bought patties (we did ask about their veggie patty). I assume their tempeh bacon is as well but did not verify. This is really the reason I gave the restaurant 4 stars instead of 5.

Majorly Disappointed - This place is overhyped. - Edit
I had been wanting to try Wildseed for so long, and it was such a letdown. I scoped out the menu online before going and had my heart set on the mushroom pizza. When I got there I found out that they had just changed the menu a couple days prior and there was no more mushroom pizza, the website just wasn’t updated. So I tried the potato pizza…
Read moreThe potato pizza just wasn’t good. It was super salty and oily, but they had put an enormous amount of rosemary on it and that’s pretty much all I could taste… salty rosemary. I also had the kale Caesar salad, it was just ok. There wasn’t enough kale, and there was too much Parmesan. You’d think that would be a good thing, but it overpowered the salad.
Finally, I had the almond citrus cake with berries… only it’s actually a large muffin. It was dry in some places and ok in others. The berries they topped it with were old or overripe.
Almost forgot to mention they serve Perrier bottled water, which is a Nestle company - one of the worst corporations on the planet with the worst track record when it comes to their bottled water. That certainly doesn’t fit the vibe Wildseed tries to present.
Overall, just so disappointed.

My second time in San Fran and my second visit here, and I can easily say I’ll come back again. A great restaurant with a really great menu, delicious flavours, and all already great experience. Would tell any vegan or non-vegan in SF to come here for a truly great meal.

Good food - Edit
Wanted to really like this place. I think on a less busy, crowded day we would have. Food was good. Unfortunately food was a bit cold and one of our drinks was mostly alcohol ( think they forgot the bubbly). Overall, still liked the concept and food was over all delicious.

Mushroom bao buns and cauliflower were great starters. Could not get enough of the Caesar salad! Great cocktails too. Would definitely go again. Only downside is the cost

Delicious! Amazing! - Edit
Wildseed was delicious. We ate here twice on our trip because everything we had the 1st time was amazing and we needed to try other menu items. The food, drinks and overall vibe of the restaurant is exactly what you're looking for in a vegan restaurant.

Large open airy seating - Edit
Unlike many other SF restaurants, Wild Seed has large space with tables nicely spread out, no running elbows with strange neighbors. Excellent service, had the mezze sampler plate (4*, really liked the salad and coconut feta, also has hummus and ahtenian eggplant), mushroom pizza (6*, one of the best pizzas I've had) , and 2 desserts (both 5*, rich chocolate cake with ice cream and lemon poppyseed cake). Solid espresso martini and an n/a blueberry drink.
Read morePros: Spacious, Excellent pizza, Fantastic desserts
Cons: Pricey (but SF is expensive)

Fantastic - Edit
Everything was perfectly delicious. Especially the curried cauliflower appetizer! I loved that they asked me about my “airflow preferences” when I said I’d prefer to sit indoors. I dislike sitting by a window as I don’t like wind blowing on me while I’m eating. I have never before had anyone ask me about my air flow preferences, and I do have strong ones! I really appreciated that.

Innovative seasonal cuisine - Edit
Great spot with a changing menu featuring seasonal dishes that incorporate some traditional foods with some twists. Fancy interior with lots of seating, though originally placed at a small table crammed along the window, upon request was able to move to a more inviting table with a booth.
Read moreGood drink selection including n/a options. Ordered two fancy juices; Orange and Green. The green of course had some "green" taste to it but if that's your thing, you will enjoy! The orange was fruity and felt healthy with a good balance of all ingredients.
For food, ordered the Beet Poke, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, and Butternut Squash and Ricotta Ravioli. The beet poke was interesting, I enjoyed it but wasn't overwhelmed. The flavors blended well and had some crunch thanks to the taro ships. The brussels sprouts were excellent, whatever flavoring they use was ultra umami and the dish was eaten quickly! As a ravioli aficionado, this dish was fantastic, blending the veggies and pasta nicely.
And of course, dessert! Warm beet chocolate cake, yes please. All the flavors and textures were divine and was sweet without being sickeningly so.
Overall great experience here and can see why so highly rated here on Happy Cow. Enjoy!

So good! - Edit
I've been to Wildseed's Palo Alto location a couple of times but finally made it to the San Francisco location after a fun visit to the museums at the Presidio (highly recommend!).
Read moreWow, our meal was so good!
We shared a winter pizza which was so dang good. I loved the crustiness of the crust, the thin slices of pear, the tempeh bacon. So delicious.
We also shared an Oklahoma Smash Burger which was also great as were the fries.
It was wet and cold out so I also enjoyed an oat milk latte. Nice and strong and it hit the spot.
I'll definitely be returning when I am in San Francisco!
Pros: Excellent food, Friendly server

Great lunch in S.F.! - Edit
So happy I came here. I got the tomato and pepper bisque as well as the fall pizza with brussels sprouts Tempe and pears. It was phenomenal! I’m not sure what some people are referring to as some dishes being hit or miss especially for the price because even though I only had two things they were both Five star. Excellent! I would definitely come back here and try multiple other things on the menu. sadly I’m only visiting, but if I lived here, I would be back here pretty often!
