   So happy to finally try State Bird Provisions. Our family of 4 were there to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. The food was excellent, service was cheerful and attentive. So glad they brought back the famous dim sum tray style. Our favorites included the lamb tartare toast, pork belly, squash medley salad and squid. Least impressive were the raw oysters- small oysters with too many other flavors competing. For dessert the ice cream sandwiches were phenomenal! The atmosphere was fun but a bit too noisy for us to have long conversations. Overall a wonderful experience.

   The food was wonderful, the service was great, and the format of having small plates offered to you throughout your time there is great if you are an indecisive and curious eater like me. There was no dish I didn’t like, the stars of the show for me were the pork belly salad, the steak with charred eggplant, and the cheddar and tomato pancakes. Their menu changes really frequently and their food is very fairly priced for the quality. This is my absolute favorite restaurant in SF.

    Most of the food was just OK The state bird dish was excellent The was no vision in the other dishes Dont think the rounding carts with dishes is great idea, it make you nervous more then anything and if a waiter decided to skip your table or approach late you left with leftovers The music was too loud so explanation on dishes was problematic to understand Overall there is a lot of potential but if I am coming back is not for michelin star experience more like come to celebrate your birthday with group of friends food will be secondary

    Never a bad meal here. The flavors are incredible. We love seeing the carts back. We were a table of 4 and tried everything that went by. The staff has such a great vibe, are really hospitable, and provide fantastic service that makes dining here such a memorable experience. I’m already looking forward to another meal at State Bird Provisions.

    Excellente expérience pour l’ambiance, la qualité des mâts globalement excellents mais avec une ou deux fausses notes (dommage!) parmi les plats qui circulent dans le restaurant et que vous pouvez choisir de prendre au vol ou pas. Environ 300$ pour 4 avec boissons

    Food was good and inventive but veered on the salty side. If this is Michelin level then there are other restaurants that I have been to that are not listed that should be as well. Service was very good and friendly but based on the cost and the size of the dishes, it’s a pricey night out but that is the nature of the small plates phenomena in restaurants.

    Even after all these years, State Bird's execution of entertaining and wholly satisfying the palates of food-lovers far and wide inarguably remains steadfast - and they create a pleasantly energetic and unstuffy space to do so, to boot! (playlist included) I have yet to be disappointed by their creative culinary dim sum-style delights. Indeed, their innovation is remarkable and exceptional. You leave absolutely stuffed, full of Michelin-quality cuisine, and you don't break the bank as a result. Eating at the counter was an added bonus to the experience. Loved watching the chefs in their element and seeing all the tantalizing dishes come out.

    Most of the dishes were good, but not amazing, which is the reputation that State Bird has come to represent. A few things were not going as we thought or expected: 1. The rice noodle entree that we ordered did not come until more than half way through the meal, even though we ordered in the beginning of the meal. Even when it got the table, the flavors were mediocre and not worth the $20+ that we paid for that dish. My local go-to take out Chinese restaurants on DoorDash, that charged half the cost, tasted better with more flavor. 2. The steak entree that we ordered came lukewarm or room temperature, as if it has been sitting out for 10+ minutes waiting for a server to bring the plate to the table. The flavor was amazing, and it was well cooked, medium rare... but a dish like this should have been served hot, instead of at room temperature. But it was easily the best tasting dish of the night. We did let our server know that our dish came lukewarm, instead of being hot... his answer back to us was "i'll let the chef know"... but this shouldn't have been a kitchen problem. it's a server problem, they didn't pick up the dish quickly enough to get it to table hot. so that was definitely a disappointing response. 3. The dim sum style plates came pretty quickly in the first half of the meal and then it seems to have stopped coming by after the first 35-35 minutes of our meal. Everything was good, but not blow your socks off good as one comes to expect from the years of hype of State Bird since its opening. Overall, i think it was good, i would be on the fence about going back again in the future. I think my $500+ dollars might be better spent at another restaurant.
