The Port of Peri Peri — Restaurant in San Francisco

This review was painful as I enjoy the food from this chain so much. I frequent the Fremont location and am always raving about the food to my friends. I’m chalking this experience up to a new location and new staff, but I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I always had a feeling that online/pre-paid orders get subpar treatment but this solidified my belief.

I traveled over 2hrs for this food from Sacramento and was hosting 10 people over, and this was our dinner. I ordered 2 large family platters, another half chicken, and an extra side of rice. For reference, this is 4 whole chickens, and 9 large sides. When I was grabbing the food I asked the server for more sauce, and he was arguing with me that I already had some. Extra sauce on a $200 order didn’t seem like an unreasonable request. Grudgingly, he gave me more.

In terms of taste, the lemon and herb chicken was fine, but the mild chicken had no seasoning/sauce on it, which was more than half the order. Again, it appeared that this order was taken care of in a careless manner. The cassava fries were overcooked and burned, which left no flesh inside and it was so dry that it was very tough to eat.

The size of the sides, appeared to be the size of small portions, as it was in smaller plastic containers. I have ordered from Fremont Peri Peri before, and it was halved compared to then.

I felt ashamed when I had guests over and this was the dinner I was serving them. I’m hoping this experience never happens to anyone again, but I had to share what...

I stumbled upon this place whilst out walking and made a visit as I absolutely love peri peri in the UK, whether it's Nando's, family run Peri Peri places or the Nando's knock offs and this was the only Peri Peri place I could find in downtown SF.

1/2 chicken (medium hot), peri chips and a mango lemonade. Wow, it was delicious and certainly on par and even better than many UK Peri Peri places. I opted for the Medium spice level which was way hotter than UK Medium spice levels so if visiting, be aware that you can have a nice hot kick if you so desire.

The chap who served me was friendly and attentive and the food came out timely and hot. Definately recommended if in downtown SF, especially if you like Peri Peri chicken or even if you've...

Restaurant is very clean and the staff is very nice. We tried the beef ribs, brisket plate, chicken quarters, corn and fries.

All of them were really good, if you like spicy food definitely pick the “hot” option. I think it’s the perfect level of heat for spicy lovers.

The ribs were big for beef ribs which was great and the brisket special was huge. Easily shareable with someone. And the chicken was very well cooked, bone sliding out tender.

Definitely a great place to recommend, especially if your halal only and want to try...
