Oh man, do I enjoy this place!  

Favorite dishes:
* Drumsticks (every time - all my non-veggie friends love these too)
* Beef and Green Beans
* Sesame balls and Mango ice cream for dessert

Everyone should check this place out, veggie or not!

This place is great.  Their Tom-Yum is perfect.  My wife and I come here at least once a month, usually late at night (open till 1) and always have a great time.  It's always super mellow.

Try the Thai Tea ice cream -- sooo good.

I've been coming here weekly for a matter of months now to get crickets for my Chameleon.

It's a surprisingly large and well stocked for being out in the boonies of the sunset.  They really care about their animals, and are full of great advice on how to take care of your animal.

If you're looking for a place in San Francisco to get exotic reptiles, fish, or birds, this is it.

Decent crepes, not the best, and definitely a bit over priced considering they are often under-stuffed.

I went back for a second try, ordered the same sandwich, and got a dramatically experience, plus a free cookie from the mobile check-in offer.

    I ordered a "Piemonte" which is their name for a balsamic roasted portobello sandwich, and I'm unsure of if I like this place or not.

    The good:  the flavorings on the bread and the portobello were absolutely perfect, really good core sandwich parts.

    The bad:  They messed up my order.  It was a sandwich of only bread, mozzarella, and portobello.  It was missing all the important fixins like tomatoes and greens.  And they got the bread wrong.

    I'm pretty sure the guy assembling my sandwich was new, but that just means their management isn't on top of things.  Despite my lack of a full sandwich, what I got was so tasty that I'll probably give them another shot - but next time, I'm watching you like a hawk, Ed.

I've only been here once so far, but my wife and I will definitely be coming back.  Their treats are eye-watering, and delicious.  There are a dozen different things I want to try.

The location kinda sucks though, they're out in the sunset.  On the other hand, it should keep the hipsters away.

Everything about this place is just... yes.  Win.  Winning.  Not two hours ago I consumed a spicy paneer burrito, and my insides are still glowing from the delicious spicy burn.  This is not a place for those who don't like hot food!

I'm inspired, everything should come in burrito form now.  I've been here about 8 times this month now.  It is the best truck food around.

This place was great.  Came here with my wife on our 6 month anniversary and we had a great time.  The service (on a quiet Sunday late afternoon) was very good and fast.  The food was truly excellent and the ambience just right.

Would strongly suggest this place for a romantic evening, or if you just like good Italian food.

Very expensive chocolate, but worth it.  They mix in a whole bunch of flavors into their bars, including minimally processed sugar chunks, chiles, cinnamon and such.  They've got a great wall showing all the ingredients and production process.  

Definitely worth checking out.

Their products make great gifts.

Zomg, sign me up for their cult, as long as their reclusive camp (all cults have these right?) serves foods like this!  

I came here with a ton of people from work so we ordered almost everything on the menu.  As a large group of Yelpers, you'd expect someone to be unhappy, but no, we were all floored by the awesome.

The fake fish is the most satisfying fake meat meal of my vegetarian life of over a decade.  The beef and broccoli likewise was dead on - the fake beef was satisfyingly chewy.

The lemon chicken was heavy on the batter, so I'd suggest it be avoided, thought the flavors were great.  Also, the jalapeño tofu is probably too strong for most and we didn't finish it, but it was still a great counter flavor to the rest of the meal.

Rest assured that I will be convert devotees in the future!  Long live the glorious Golden Era!
