40 Reviews for All About Herbs @ Paris Cafe
The lady who runs the place is so pleasant. She is the main reason to visit this place. As everyone else has mentioned, it is a cafe in the day, serving coffee and pastries and in the evening, they serve health vegan Thai food. I loved the Herbs Fried Rice and the SF Sweetheart. They have a menu with pictures of the food so that makes It easier to pick out your order. We ordered about three different things that they didn't have which bummed us out a little (hence the missing star) but the food was yummy and the service was nice. I recommend this place.

The first and only time I went here, everything was spectacular!!! Everything was cooked to perfection, perfectly and delicately spiced, and it was extremely amazing quality for the price -- not your average, fast and greasy Thai food... And it was a block away from Milennium so I could grab dessert there after a yum-tastic (and cheaper than Milennium) meal at All About Herbs. I couldn't wait to go back.
Yeah, I passed by this place hoping to fill up on their clay pot dish, but sadly, they were closed... Hopefully they'll come back? I don't know. I guess, since someone else found that All About Herbs was closed that they've gone away forever, but my wishful thinking has got me believing the two (or maybe more?) sweet people who run that tiny spot have just gone on a short vacation. *Crosses fingers* Please come back!!! I want your yummy food...
yep, CLOSED.....after reading all the great reviews here i was psyched to check this joint out during my recent SF trip...humped it uphill for what seemed like dozens of city blocks (okay, i got a little lost) only to find a closed paris cafe with no mention of all about herbs. was totally bummed but maybe next trip.
Super cute place. The tables are entirely too small if you intend to be a pig and order everything on the menu like my friend and I did. Our waiters did sort of disappear in the middle of our meal, no really they left out the front door and hailed a cab, but the cute owner lady took care of us. It was a tiny cute place and I hope to go back when I move into my friend's closet
Ginger tea - was way too tangy for me
Tom Khaa Soup was yummy
Apple salad was delicious except for the celery (which I HATE), but hey you can pick it out, just like i did.
Roti dish was amazing...I want it again now...
Terryakki was pretty good

My new favorite spot for a healthy, fresh meal. My favorite items so far are the hotpot and the SF Sweetheart, perfect portions, great flavors and healthy to boot.
Really though, my boyfriend and I come here for the ambiance. It's tiny, comfortable, and the woman who owns the place is very cute and charming.
Another reason why this place is my favorite: everytime I've been in here, there is this french song playing in the background, basically on repeat. It makes me think of a parisian carnival at night. This is purely my imagination working though, because I have never once stepped into a parisian carnival. But now I want to.
Food seasoned mostly with herbs. Flavor explodes in mouth (especially since cooked in 100 point kitchen).

The teriyaki is delicious. The herb rolls were lacking the avocado that I was promised on the menu. That was a bummer. The peanut sauce they were served with wasn't the best peanut sauce ever. I think they'd go better with plum sauce. But you know what? They have apple in them. That's neat.
Also, the soup. I forget the name but it's the one that's not Tom Ka Kai. It's like hot and sour. It's really tasty.
The little lady who took my order was sweet and each table had an adorable bok choy bouquet.
The food is light and seems quite healthy. The location is great for take out but the ambiance is very relaxed as well.
Wow, this is one boring review. What can I say to spice it up? I have no idea. What I'm really thinking about how no one uses the word "reckon" and I wish they would. What a great word.

I love this concept. Baguette and pastry shop by day. Vegetarian restaurant by night.
As darkness descends not only does the cuisine change, so does the name of this tiny hole-in-the- wall restaurant - from Paris Cafe to All About Herbs. It is cute and quirky. I couldn't resist giving it a try.
The menu is limited but good. And the ingredients are fresh, fresh, fresh. They were bringing in shopping bags of groceries as we were waiting for our food.
I myself am not a vegetarian, but the table next to us was. They were completely ecstatic about the place. I guess there aren't as many good veggie spots in the city as I had thought.
This place is cool. Too cool.

This place was really sweet. Or maybe it was the little woman running the place who was sweet. Five stars for opening a vegan cafe downtown! It was a great option when we were exhausted from shopping and didn't have time to head back to the mission. However, I wasn't bowled over by the food. And the service was pretty slow. Whatever, maybe I'm a jerk... please, just try it for yourself! And grab a bottle of beer from the corner store.
Umm, I've been here 3 times in a week. It's devastatingly good.
In fact, don't go... I don't want to have to wait.
I keep thinking, "this is Thai food?" Everything is perfectly spiced and nothing is greasy, not even the fried rice.

Thanks to Wakako's suggestion, I gave All About Herbs a try.
I liked All About Herbs. The staff was very nice. (There were only 2 people worked there and the service was a bit slow though) They do not have beer / liquor license but they let me bring in Kronama (Japanese dark beer). The food was very fresh and light.
The Spring Rolls were very fresh and tasty. It had nice peanut sauce on the side. The Hot Pot was full of flavor- Nice soy sauce base with a little sweetness with a hint of lemongrass. It had soft silver noodles, semi hard tofu and non-overcooked vegetables.
I also had Fried rice which was spiced by curry powder and lemongrass. Vegetarian dishes can be boring but they used brown rice and added cashew nuts in the dish which gave it a very nice nutty flavor without adding too much oil. Only a complain I had was that they didn't put vegetable protein (I think they meant Seitan) even though there were listed on the menu.
The bottom line, I will go back when I want to eat clean tasting food.

We need a separate YELP entry to rate Paris Cafe. All About Herbs serves totally different things at night. Both are totally different type of business. Who can help with the rating system? Oh well, if the ratings are all 5 stars, both business will benefit
At night , CASH only place that serves 10 different signature dishes and BROWN rice. Yes, brown rice fans, no need to look further.
Just l/2 block from this place are THREE, yes THREE Thai restaurants competing for business. (bet they don't serve brown rice) All About Herbs are trying to find a niche by making this a superb vegan healthy delicious Thai restaurant.
By the way, right next door used to be a veggie cafe called "Green Bean". It did not do well cause parking was tough and a lot of their foods were made else where. So let's see what happens to All About Herbs...
Yes, my curry was tasty and not greasy.
Yes, the owners will do their best for your business.
I love the name, it give me an indication the food will be tasty, fragrant and not made with tons of salt, MSG and fish sauce.
Herbs ....herbs give me LOTs of herbs.

Wildly delicious!
We ordered half the menu; it ranged from addictively tasty (various soups and curries) to addictively inventive (the apple salad! Dear god! The kind of thing you never want to stop eating).
Dessert (some type of sesame dumpling -- sesame paste inside rice flour dough -- in a tangy ginger broth) was also unique in a very very good way.
Hopefully this place will stay open, because I'm totally hooked, and don't know where I'd find these things elsewhere. I want to eat there every night. I might do that this week since I know I won't be able to stop thinking about it.
And it doesn't hurt that it's an adorable space with two sweet, attentive women running it.

it is *all* about the herbs here! It's tiny, but charming. Vegetarian, but who cares--it's freakin' delicious!
I recommend the tom yum soup, herbs fried rice, and fresh rolls. YUMMINGTONS.
Throw a black blanket over the pastry case and you're off to a great start for a vegetarian (vegan?) restaurant. The owner (?) hopped in the air and clapped when we said we were ready to order, she seemed so happy to be there. Service was a bit slow, but she was the only one working the floor, and bringing out dishes from their kitchen upstairs one at a time. The food was fantastic, i loved the inclusion of apples in some of the dishes. There's a bodega just across the street if you need to bring some beverages with you, but be sure to have a bottle opener or a corkscrew, they didn't have one when we were last there. Oh, and don't bring a party of more than 4, since it's all two-tops.
Everything about this tiny cafe is perfect, at the level of restaurants twice as expensive. Decor is comfortable, serene, and timeless, enhanced by dim lighting and dreamy pop music. Food is clever in conception (apple salad, for example, and tempura-style mushrooms). As the name implies it's all about the herbs. Every dish features them, and because it's basically Thai food (with snippets from Japan and India) that often means basil and lemongrass, aromatic to the point of therapy. Maybe good medicine but also kick-ass tasty. Best of all the presentation is amazing. If you like your food to look good you'll break out grinning to see the plates. So color saturated and carefully arranged, it is as pretty as the pictures uploaded here on the site.
It didn't matter to me that it's vegetarian, but the tofu they use is good and plentiful, and one or two dishes have mock meat.

Love it! This place is a quirky, small, and the food is exceptional. Some may be turned off by the whole, sandwich shop by day, cooking in the family kitchen upstair by night concept, and the service can be a little slow on busy nights.... but grab a bottle of wine at the Liquor store next door and enjoy a slow food San Francisco experience.
What was that that just rode by? Oh right, it's just the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Never did I EVER think I would knowingly and willingly eat at a vegetarian restaurant. My middle name is actually Pastrami. But hell, I like to try new things, so I gave it a chance.
And I'm glad I did. They were having a special tonight--the hot pot. It was like a flavor explosion, and I didn't even miss the meat. It was healthy, delicious, and not oily at all.
It was very fancy food, but it was served at a price that regular schmoes like me can afford.
Minor minor complaint-it was almost a little too herb'ed up, which was great at the start, but got to be a little much at the end.
Otherwise, it was sup-herb. *you may roll your eyes now*
PS. My deepest apologies for triggering the rapture.

Adorable and artistic food. The deep fried oyster mushrooms and the chili sauce were perfectly paired. I never thought I can like crispy basil leaves so much! The lychee in the curry is a great idea and the herbs fried rice is excellent as well. Will definitely go back again!

EDIT 12/13/07: I bypassed this place after a shopping spree downtown the other day. I had a craving for cheap Thai (surprised?), and knew I'd spend close to $20 trying other items on the menu if I came back here. But I felt a guilt over me as I walked down to Bang San, which turned out to be packed--I wasn't so much as even acknowledged. I left before I could place my order, and crawled back to All About Herbs. I got the attention I deserved, with complimentary homemade tea that was absolutely delicious as I waited for my order. I tried the Hot Pot, which was good, but not enough to satisfy my hunger. I'm starved for more, and told the lady that I'd be back to try the Roti (which suggests that there's more than just Thai cuisine), and then again to try the Teriyaki Tofu...and the herb fried rice, and...
Bottom line: They easily earned their fifth star.
---------------------
Someone's opened up another Vegetarian Thai joint in this town. Someone up there must love me.
I like All About Herbs for its simplicity. The menu list is small, but has enough appetizer, soup/salad, and entrees to keep you slightly indecisive (seeing the mouthwatering pictures to accompany it isn't any help). I found a few surprises in the dishes: Sprouts in the spring (herb) rolls. And lychee in the fish sauce free curry.
Decor is almost nonexistent. No signage is on display to inform passerbys from afar that a restaurant operates in the same space that houses Paris Cafe. Because past 5 p.m., the glass case showcasing pastries is covered over by a dark floral sheet, and the light is turned down low...really low. Otherwise, it's still the same tiny lil cafe it is during the day, menu boards and all.
Service was as hospitable as you can imagine; the owner here can easily pass off as anyone's loving grandma. Sit down, relax, and trust that she'll have something nice and hearty fixed up for you. It lacks the pretentious vibe that I've been seeing from newly opened establishments featuring Thai food, such as Grand Pu Bah and Tara.
Only open a month, I hesitate to give it a fifth star. But they're on the right track. A sign to expose their restaurant would only help the word of mouth advertising they'll be receiving (such as through review sites like Yelp). Even with Mekong as its closest competitor in veggie Thai cuisine, AAH's non-use of fake meats and sole vegetarian menu keeps them in their own league. I'd say the prices are higher than I'd like, but I'm cheap, and the food is worth it. Averaging out to $20 per person, they should soon consider accepting credit cards.

lemongrass tea: tangy and delicious

apple salad: crisp, fresh and delicious
sesame dumpling dessert: adorable and delicious
i shared the teriyaki steak and roti entrees with a friend and both were very good, although i am not a big teriyaki fan so i probably am not a great judge. the place is so cute--the little ceramic egg cups filled with bok choy on each table touched my heart! we had two servers and then halfway through our meal they left and the owner served us and all were so helpful and so nice. can't wait to go back and get all the things i couldn't today. everything on the menu looked great.

all about herbs is great!
i just went there for the first time. i had herb's fried rice and my boyfriend had the hot pot and ginger tea. everything was super tasty, fresh, healthy, and the presentation was nice. the lady in charge is too cute! she couldn't have been nicer, actually.
it's also a super romantic place!
the food was outstanding. the flavors were intense but well balanced. i wish the servings were a bit larger its also a bit pricey. i could not get enough of the Hed, which is the deep fried oyster mushrooms. so good!
signage: 0 stars
service: 3 stars (polite but understaffed)
decor: 3.5 stars
food: infinity plus five stars
I went for Valentine's day, and all seven tables-for-two were full, meaning the whole place was full. Yes, total capacity = 14. We ordered mostly from the dishes marked as signature/specialty and holy jamoley they're really really good.
My entree: Tofu Cutlet. Like the man on the space ship says, sometimes you gotta roll the hard six. Tofu cutlet = awesome. Instant black belt in veg cuisine goes to the person who made that work. Great texture, great flavor.
My appetizer: some kind of cashew salad thing, which I expected to be all savory and salty with some kind of soy-sauce based flavor. WRONG. It was light and sharp, with little teeny bits of LIME in it. It was sort of like a sushi restaurant kind of clean crisp taste, but using more Thai ingredients. Excellent.
(The wife got a very nice curry and spring rolls, both of which were super yummy, but not as surprising as my choices.)

This vegetarian Thai restaurant is a labor of love. Started by the former director of cuisine at the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. the dishes all prominently feature, um, herbs. If the aromas wafting out of the kitchen don't make you fall in love with the place, than the exotic ingredients will. Things you don't often see in Americanized Thai food--such as galangal.
Don't let the awning that says "Paris Cafe" throw you off the trail. You'll want to get to this place before the word gets out. That way, when everybody talks about this place as a badge of hipness, you'll be able to lean back and talk about how you've been a fan since before they even had a sign.

Super friendly service, really good turkey sandwich on a french baguette and a decent cup of coffee.
The best drip coffee and friendliest service that I've had in the neighborhood. It's also a good place to do a little reading or studying if you like a quiet atmosphere [Ok, so I'm a fan of soft rock]. Try the cafe mocha- you won't be disappointed!

a SOILID five stars.
this place is SO easy to miss, it's ridiculous. we only found it thanks to yelp. paris cafe by day, AWESOME thai food restaurant by night!
there are only about six or seven two-person tables in this place, and they were all filled last night (saturday). the menu is fairly small, completely vegetarian, and absolutely delicious.
we shared two dishes, which came out separately, which was a little weird, but kinda necessary 'cause there was only room enough for one dish at the table.
the rainbow curry (!) came out first, and was so amazing, once the tofu and veggies were gone we drank the rest of the liquid as if it were soup.
the herb fried rice was great, too. i didn't like it on the first bite, mostly because i couldn't place the flavors, and i was so smitten with the curry. as i kept taking bites to try to decipher the flavors, i liked it more and more, and eventually had to stop myself from eating, because i was so full.
the waitress is an adorable lady who is extremely friendly and very attentive with the water.
the noise level, music, lighting, and decor made for a very intimate atmosphere. we witnessed a very cute, and seemingly-successful date happening at the next table. use the other reviews of this place for conversation topics... the story of this restaurant is amazing!
Don't forget, it's CASH ONLY!

I can't add much more to the already excellent and thorough reviews of All About Herbs. Some random notes/thoughts: We went with a party of six to celebrate a friend's birthday. One of our party called ahead to make a reservation and we were really glad we did because we learned from the chef that she went out and bought food especially for our party that day. She has no car and shops by foot and bus at local farmer's markets and stores. If you are bringing more than a couple of people with you, I'd recommend calling ahead to make a reservation. The eating space itself is very nicely appointed.
The food was terrific, as the other reviews suggested it would be. They were actually able to make dishes spicy or mild to satisfy the diverse tastes of our group. No credit cards are accepted; only cash. Entrees and appetizers are very reasonably priced. The soups were especially delicious and free of heavy oils, yet bursting with flavor. Ditto for the sauces that came with our meals.
The chef cooks from her heart and wants to make a go of it at this restaurant. Please try it and if you like it, let your friends know so that she can continue to make these delicious dishes!

I live right around the corner from this little place and have been meaning to stop in so when I found myself home sick from work (cough,cough) I decided to do just that. I ordered a large nonfat mocha and was pleased to find that their prices are far cheaper than your mega chains like Starbucks or Peets; $3.53 for a large mocha including tax. They also have FREE WiFi! I eyed the donuts and pastries which looked really good but, having eaten an entire pint of Haagen Daaz the night prior, decided that I didn't want to further stretch my ass to jean ratio. They also serve Vietnamese sandwiches which will please my roomie to no end as he loves them and currently walks several blocks to get his fix. It's cash only and it's family run so I intend on supporting them. The only gripe I have is that they used Hershey's Chocolate Syrup in my mocha...it tasted alright but it just felt WRONG.

Ultra Cute & charming place...there are about 6 tables so space is limited. Luckily we went on an evening when there was no crowd, so the service was not a problem. But I can easily see the waitress lady ( who is very very sweet ) get overwhelmed when there's more than two tables to wait on...
The food was great though highly tofu dominated. We tried the Indian rosti, rainbow curry , fried rice and the herb rolls. The herb rolls and the Rosti were hands down winners...the rest was pretty awesome too though not different from other places.
Great place to go to but make sure you go there during the off peak hours else you might be put off by the slow service.
After so many excellent reviews, I was eager to try this place. My husband and I were going to an 8pm play a few block away. So we got there at 6:45 and ordered right away.
and then we waited...
after 15 minutes we got our drinks
and then we waited ....
we asked about the food -- explaining we had to leave before 8pm... the woman working there repeatedly told us that it was ready and she was going to go get it ... it wasn't and she didn't...
after about 45 minutes one entree arrived
we couldn't wait for the second entree, but that wasn't a big loss for us because the second entree they were planning to bring us was not what we ordered... "but your fried rice is almost ready!" ... "uhh... but we ordered curry"
There were about 4 tables full in the place and almost everyone of them had a similar problem ... people either did not get part of their order or they were given the wrong thing... three of the tables (including ours) told the waitress just to give up on what ever they were waiting for.
She apologized saying that there were just so busy! There are only about 6 tables there and most of them were full, so I kinda understand -- the people next to us did not , stating "How could they be less busy?"
On the plus side, they did bring us together as a community as we all chatted with each other marveling at the slow arrival of food and mistakes.
Now I understand that a little family run place with fresh food can be slow ... I am prepared for that... it was the feeling that we were being misled that really bugged me... continually telling us that the food was ready when it was not...
why even two stars? benefit of a doubt and potential... the place is pretty cute. it is very intimate and somehow kinda nice even though it is a counter service place during the day. The food that we got was decent. I may even try again one night if we were the only people in the restaurant and I'm not starving
warning for dates: there was one couple there on a first date. not a bad locale for it. Who cares if the food is slow when you have so much to learn about each other? BUT -- everyone in the place could hear every word of their awkward get to know each other discourse...
The only label that need apply is great food prepared with great care! Exciting combinations of Thai influenced dishes that were all delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered a bowl of soup, the mock duck red curry and the fried rice and all were excellent and more than enough for for two.

one of the best veggie restaurants in sf i've eaten at, and, given the low prices, probably the best so far. food is very unique for a thai restaurant ( we tried everything on the menu--large group--everything was excellent, the weakest dish being the roti and even that was good). service was very very attentive and super-sweet...if i lived in the neighborhood, i'd be here every week....

If you want something you've never tried before, All About Herbs is the place to go. The lovingly prepared food is so incredibly tasty, I want keep eating long after I'm full. The dishes are so healthful, eating a lot is not necessarily a bad thing.
Many of the flavors are new to me, and the menu is unique. You won't find these dishes at any other restaurant in SF. Very little oil is used- it's almost undetectable. The flavors are savory, fresh and full. I particularly like the fried rice, which is full of vegetables and of course, fresh herbs.
The owner / chef, Mok, an exquisitely lovely young lady from Thailand, said she wanted to do something different with her restaurant, and she has certainly succeeded. She treks all over the city to collect her herbs and produce, and prepares everything herself in the upstairs kitchen of the restaurant.
Vegetarians note, there are two separate kitchens in the restaurant. While the downstairs kitchen, used by Paris Cafe during the day time, does use some meat products, the upstairs kitchen, used by All About Herbs, never stores or uses meat in any of their equipment or space. The two spaces are entirely separate, so I feel assured that there is no potential for contamination or 'cooties'.

Love it! The presentation of the food is equally as pleasing to the eye as the explosion of exotic flavors on your palate. I don't think I've ever had food like this at any other restaurant be it vegetarian or Thai. The staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable. The small, cozy atmosphere makes you feel like you're enjoying a 5 star dinner in your own private restuarant. I can definitely foresee this vegetarian delight becoming the next hush-hush place to go.
Menu includes: Small Plates, Soups, and Entrees:Tom Yam Soup, Rainbow Curry, SF Sweet Heart (Golden fried Tofu), Herbs Fried rice, and a fabulous salad called "Something about Apple."
MY FAVORITES: Hot Pot, Crispy Rice Salad, Tofu with Panang Sauce, Rainbow Curry, Herbs Fried Rice
You HAVE to try the Ginger Tea (hot with honey, cold is already added).
There is a New Year's Eve Menu!
Soup
Tom Khaa
Traditional Thai coconut soup with combination of herbs and fresh tofu

I adore this little cafe, and the sweet old couple that run it! Delicious coffee, good pastries and the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had (but be prepared to wait a little while, it takes them time to make it right). Wish there was more outside seating. And wish they would open a bit earlier.
Went there this morning - coffee was ok, nothing special. Chocolate croissant was superb - lots of chocolate, very fresh.
I ordered a bagel with cream cheese - it took the lady around ten minutes to make it. And there was no line or any other orders to take care of. Too slow.
I pass this lil' place every day on the way to work so it's only natural that I stop in, right? My first time in I had a French twist /cruller and a cup of coffee. I think the donuts were out fr a while for it was a bit stale but the coffee was hot and tasted fresh. The lady behind the counter was nice.
My second time in I expanded my experience by getting a roast beef sandwich which was simple and tasty. No crazy roll or insane toppings to be come across as gourmet. A friend of mine who I ate the sandwich in front of was equally impressed withe the simplicity of the roast beef, lettuce, mustard, tomato and pesto(?) between to pieces of white bread. The three women behind the counter possible spanned three generations of family . . . actually I take that back there was a little baby in pink that was far too aloof so maybe four generations. Anyway they were all very nice and thus they get an extra star.
I'm not exactly sure why this is the "Paris Cafe" though, a side from a single photo of the city of lights it's almost the exact same decor as the restaurant it was just a month ago (Eura).
Really this is just a tiny sorta cute donut shop.
