Mehmet AkdemirJanuary 6, 2014It's an updated take on the Zuni formula, with the success to show. Both neighborhood standby and destination restaurant, Nopa continues to grow admirably under Chef Jossel.
RosalineNovember 7, 2015Tasty dishes, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. Loved the high ceilings.
Amy RobinsonSeptember 1, 2014The pork chops really were delicious but I don't think you could take a step wrong here. A real treat.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Thomas McNaughton, chef of Flour + Water, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Country pork chop. Read more
Corey BruinsApril 12, 2018Pork chop came highly recommended and did not disappoint. That said- I wasn’t over-the-top wowed by it.
Tianna JohnsonSeptember 12, 2012The food and drinks are great. Unique twist on New American. The burger and rotisserie chicken are to die for!
Brad TJanuary 5, 2013True, 0ork chop is def no joke but if its your first go for something else. PC is always on the menu sans Tues so you can always come back.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011Nopa prides itself for being a real San Francisco community center. They support Bay Area artisans (check out the mural!) and serve local, rustic food.
Eric BenjaminNovember 15, 2014Get the goat cheese appetizer and save some cheese to put on the burger you should also get.
Amy SagarSeptember 13, 2015The goat cheese crostini, broccoli cooked with anchovies, and the pork chop are amazing!!!!
Experiences by GroupMeAugust 28, 2012They tell you the dining room wait is two hours but head to the bar and hold out for ten minutes -- lots of room and you can enjoy the whole menu there.
Jessica MooreAugust 5, 2014Best pork chop you will ever eat, according to my boyfriend. Also, the salmon is like butta. A+
The food is AMAZING! So are the drinks, being peruvian I love a good pisco sour. Servers are attentive and friendly but my only complaint is that most of the bartenders lack personality.- Ken BaldwinMarch 31, 2014Nopa is a great place to hang out - they have an amazing burger and the crowd is Lower Haight ish.
Eric AuldMarch 28, 2013They're open until 2am and do a ridiculous burger, and generally have delicious food. Their dessert is rad too.
Maya 🐟September 15, 2013Nice dinner. Get Warm Goat Cheese, Pickled Beets, Frisée and Crostini, and the Country Pork Chop.
timoni westApril 17, 2013Ah, Nopa. What is there to say that hasn't already been said? Go and eat and drink and be merry. But make a reservation, or go at an odd time.- Karin XApril 7, 2010I am not a big meat eater but I loved the pork chop @ NOPA. Order the Old Cuban or the Huckleberry Shrub from the bar, you won't be disappointed. One of the best restaurants in SF.
Ashok LalwaniAugust 12, 2014Good, vibrant in the nights. Went there for desserts and drinks. Highly recommend.
Sannidhi 🐾February 5, 2017Custard French toast, Tcho hot chocolate and Spanish tortilla were delicious. Soft scrambled eggs were meh.
Fran SuMarch 21, 2016Agree, the pork chop is good. Love the energy. Great people watching on 2nd floor balcony.
Rebecca GobersteinMarch 18, 2012I'll be honest - I haven't been here yet, but it's on my list because it's one of the best known top SF restaurants.
CybilSeptember 3, 2012Get the burger. I know what you're thinking: Fancy place, great drinks. Not a burger place. But trust me. You won't be sorry.
Ed JohnsonMarch 24, 2013Ask for one of the 4 bar seats directly in front of the kitchen, so you can see the dishes prepared while you decide.
Sandra RubinchikMay 18, 2015Come with friends who like to share and order everything, especially the duck breast.
erin ashleyFebruary 6, 2013Try the Bacon burger - Bacon burger with blue cheese, amazing. Lots of flavor and the fries were delicious #yummy
Food & WineMay 17, 2011Star chef Laurence Jossel’s commitment to sourcing locally means he uses beef from nearby Bernard Ranches and Becker Lane Organic pork belly to make his house-smoked bacon.
Laura MasonApril 7, 2014Get there right when it opens to snag a table with no reso :) this food is amazing.
Bay McLaughlinSeptember 2, 2012The blood and sand drink is to die for... Bet you thought I was going to say the burger eh?!? Well, yeah, that's amazing too!- For walkins : get there at 5.30pm any day and put your name on the list, you'll eat by 7pm for sure
Boris BaldingerNovember 3, 2013An awesome place for really good food. Go with the Choped Pork. It's delicious!
Marlon MolinareMarch 11, 2015Burger was amazing. The flatbread and avocado toast were solid. The pork chop was good but just barely undercooked for my taste
Daniel GohNovember 4, 2013Everybody says try the pork chop. It's great, but the squab is also excellent in its own right.
Everything. Especially Justin at the bar! He’s the best.
- Brad TSeptember 20, 2014Whatever you do for brunch, wrap it up with a single serving of french toast.

"The cocktails can be expensive, but it's still a great bar nonetheless. Turns into a fun dance spot on weekend nights but I enjoy an after work libation here all the time. Good place to meet friends."
