    Food is excellent, pace of service was extremely slow. Did not have any food or drink delivered within an hour of seating. Not sure if the kitchen is too small for the amount of tables inside or outside or if they are understaffed, but it took too long to order, too long to receive food. Waiter was nice but unapologetic.

    Service is slow and not trained enough Portions are to big and need to be shared They should think less is more,like when I finish the plate I want more,but really had enough and it was perfect! I don’t like talking food home! When there’s too much food on the plate left, That’s a bad feeling

    Super delicious food and they accommodated us being a few minutes late which was nice. They didn't rush us and we had an amazing birthday dinner. Would definitely recommend but be careful as it can get pricey.

    Fabulous food, excellent service though know that this is a noisy restaurant. From our arrival at 8:00 pm to our departure at 10:30 pm we were shouting to be heard across the table. Not sure much can be done about this with the ever high ceilings. All four of us throughly enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and desserts and the service was spot on.

    Exceptional service, far better than any restaurant we recently visited. Plates and utensils were cleared as we finished courses, next course never landed on top of what we were eating, wine orders were anticipated and filled immediately, and food was served actually hot and not luke warm. Food was great. Two in our party had the delicious thick-cut pork chop and two had the tagine, which was the winner. The grilled asparagus and mushrooms was outstanding. This is one of SF’s finest restaurants and has kept its innovative menu sharp year after year.

    The food quality has deteriorated over the past months. The server only looked at my husband while communicating the dishes cause he thought that he was going to be the one paying for the table. It was only when he saw me take the bill that he tried to save face and engage with me. Also my husband was the only white man on the table. So, if you’re looking to get overpriced food and stereotyped into nonsensical social tropes, go there. But there’s plenty other phenomenal restaurants in SF. I won’t be coming back here.

    NOPA NEVER DISAPPOINTS!! From upon entering the entire team looks so happy, willing, engaged, and most of all approachable. Mel was an absolute pro with finesse in timing as our party was embarrassingly tardy for our reservation. Ashwini was an amazing ambassador of aloha spirit! Food was all outstanding as every dish was distinct in flavor and look. So happy that their zero proof drinks were so flavorful. Overall, FLAWLESS NOPA!!! Applause!!!

    This was my first visit to Nopa. I sat at the chef’s table which was a treat. Watching the talented staff work their magic was really fun and the dishes I had were spectacular! The Chef/owner must be doing it right because the whole staff seems happy. The beautiful gal that served me was a pro and I’ll request her the next time I’m in the area for sure. Thanks for a memorable evening!

    You really not need to go here. A restaurant with a name but with out the extra. Food was poor and way to expensive for the experience. The staff welcomed you and after you got your food the next you saw of them bye your table was when they took your cash. 0 $ in tip for this place. I’m sorry that I had this place on my San Francisco list, put way to much money on really nothing. When the waitresses measure the wineglasses in public after a measure glas crawling on the floor for not to give the guest a single drop of wine to much … I was chocked Nopa… never more.. I will do my very best to spread this review in Europe
