Healthyish Republic — Restaurant in San Francisco

I cannot give enough stars to this place and ownership. First - as someone who tries to stay in ketosis, I can't express how nice it is to find a place that's keto AND has food for other dietary needs.

Everything is INCREDIBLY fresh. I went a bit crazy because I wanted to try a few items. I got the broccoli cheddar soup (keto) and the shrimp zoodle bowl. The soup was pureed, which I didn't think I'd like, but the flavor was really balanced. It wasn't drenched in cheese either. Perfection. The keto roll with the meal was SO SO SO soft, moist, and delicious.

The zoodles were soft and the portions, like the soup, were deceivingly large. Pre keto I could eat a full pound of pasta on my own. I left full. The Alfredo sauce really carried the dish. The shrimp were great. Instead of 1-3 bigger shrimp, it was a good amount of baby shrimp that really complimented the dish.

My wife got the garlic chicken soup. The broth was out of this world good. Fresh spices and flavorful. She also got the garlic chicken rice bowl. Despite the similar names, the dishes were very different. The chicken was was so tender. It was served with rice, avacado, and some sort of red pickled onion salad with a yogurt dressing that had small spice kick (mild) and was absolutely incredible. It also a hint of something sweet (maybe a berry?).

The amount of food you get for the price is very generous. The soup by itself is enough for a meal (maybe the chicken more than the pureed broccoli).

For drinks we got keto lemonade which was refreshing (bottled) and Mexican coke.

We absolutely loved this place and can't...

Unless you have diet restrictions, stay away from Healthish Republic.

The front staff were busy talking to each other, ignored me, and I had to request to place an order. No greeting. No sense of customer engagement or service. There were no other customers in the restaurant at the time (6pm, prime dinner time).

The floor smelled like a dirty mop. As a previous restaurant manager, that would not fly with me.

The chair was uncomfortable, and the seat was too low for the table. Children would have trouble eating here.

Ordered the keto bowl. The grilled chicken was too soft (slightly undercooked), and had no flavor. The avocado was firm and unripened. The pickled onions had no crunch or flavor, just limp and soggy. Though, there seemed to be some mojo dressing lurking in the background, though not definite in flavor. Had to douse the bowl with hot sauce and only ate half.

I'm never going again and cannot recommend this...

We'd eaten here almost exactly a year ago and really loved the gluten free and vegan options so we tried it again. Ordered the mediterranean chicken, shrimp, lamb and falafel rice bowls for takeout. Didn't bother checking the order as we waited for it and were in communication with the cashier at the time who let us know our order was ready. Get home and they switched the shrimp for some gyro seeming meat and didn't bother to label the lamb and chicken which looked suspiciously similar. The person who ordered the chicken last year couldn't eat their dish as it seemed to be way over spiced. The person who ordered the shrimp was understandably disappointed but it was too far and too late to go back. Will not order from Healthyish again as it was a very sad meal - with the exception of the falafel bowl which...
