I was around this area for the first time since I was visiting UCSF Pride Hall.
It was around lunch time and I wanted to grab some coffee and Luna’s appeared on the search.
I read on the Google reviews that their chicken teriyaki sandwich was excellent so I made up my mind to see what was the hub bub.
I enter the little cafe and I see it’s small but also quaint with its diner design. I meet one of the owners Khalil and he impressed me with his patience and hospitality.
I ordered the chicken teriyaki sandwich meal with a coffee for a drink.
The coffee was ok. Wasn’t coffee connoisseur levels of excellence but it got my cravings out of the way and it was nice to get oatmilk with it as a complimentary addition.
The fries were EXCELLENT with their flavor and crunch. The texture was crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The amount of oil used was just right to give the fries more flavor and not a greasy texture. The addition of salt and pepper added flavor to the fries.

I left Luna’s that day feeling energized before my walk to work and if I find myself in the area hungry, I’ll be sure to stop by again. Not to mention, it was pretty heartwarming to see regulars in the neighborhood come and go in and out of the cafe. Just shows me that Luna’s has made itself a valuable place in the...

Khalil and Lutna the owners will remember your name after the first day, they'll remember your boring regular order and will crack jokes the whole time you're there waiting for your order. This an awesome family business, that knows how to make amazing sandwiches, my favorites are the chicken teriyaki, cheesesteak and the BLT. Breakfast bagels are also da bomb! Stop by here, say hi to Khalil and cheer for the 49ers! That might get you a free...
Read moreI really wasn’t expecting much from this place when I first walked in. However, the price for coffee is a great deal! In addition, I’m a huge fan of white mochas, and let me say... they are delicious here! The turkey sandwich I bought here was gone within seconds... that’s how great it tasted. The man who helped me also was extremely nice and helped explain everything to me, since I’m from...
