Saucy Asian - San Francisco

Very difficult to find rice cakes in any capacity of take out so I was excited from the start. The kimchi burrito with only a $1 up charge for beef bulgogi was very affordable, especially for the size of the burrito and handmade chips. Thoroughly impressed and would recommend those visiting to try, especially if you’re not wanting to drop $40-60 for a meal! From my understanding though, very limited if any at all gluten free options (which is expected since most items have soy sauce)

Saucy Asian is a nice, unexpected corner café in the Castro District/ Mission Dolores area. While it’s unfortunately not fully plant-based/vegan, the staff is quite knowledgeable about allergens and instead of simply removing items which do not fit the plant based/vegan or gluten-free criteria, they have substitutes which do not remove flavor and allow for a well-rounded flavorful meal. The vibe is reminiscent of beachside cafès in Mumbai.
