Really enjoyed the style of service with dim sum choices presented to you as they come around. All the dishes we tried were excellent, but in particular the duck mouse wowed us. We enjoyed them so much we felt we were too full for mains!

This was such a different experience for me! Very SF! I am an SF native and I felt like at home haha. The vibe was just very chill, people chatting, laughing, having fun, enjoying the food. The food is dim sum style which I didn’t know what that meant at first. They have multiple servers walking around with trays of different options of different style of food. You can tell it’s very fresh and in season, offering persimmon, butternut squash and trout. What stood out to us was the flavor of everything! Very different, but very flavorful! The sauces were the highlight, just divine!

We’ve eaten at SBP about 6 times before and always been wowed by the food. I don’t if it was just what they happened to be serving on this particular night but it was all kind of bland and ordinary. Except the quail which is their signature and is always delicious. Service was meh whereas before it had been excellent. I hope we just hit it on an off night and that this doesn’t represent a decline.

This restaurant has a menu, but they also bring around different items on trays just like a dim sum restaurant. Highly recommend not ordering off the menu until after you have seen what is being brought through the restaurant. Food is great.

Service was below average at best to outright rude. It was our first time there and were seated with no menu/no water/no acknowledgement. After 10 minutes of waiting around, the server said, I will get to you shortly. I said "excuse me" to another server who stood by our table. She was looking at the dining room, she did NOT turn around, but said, very rudely, "your server will be right with you". I was only wanting to ask to see a menu but wasn't even given the courtesy by their staff to be properly acknowledged nor the decency to turn around and facing someone when speaking to them. The food was good with some misses but doesn't warrant the disrespectful service.

The food was terrific. Loved the fact the true dim sum format is back. It makes the dining experience fun and spontaneous. We really enjoyed the bavette steak and fried quail off the menu , and the pork belly dim sum as well! The staff does a great job of being attentive to ensure a well paced meal and a perfect night out!

As a person who has always loved "small plate" dining and dim sum, I was intrigued by State Bird Provisions. But it's notoriously difficult to secure a reservation. I'm so happy that I planned far in advance and the experience was great. Every dish was unusual and delicious! I highly recommend you try this place!

State Bird is renowned for a reason. The service was impeccable as was the food - every dish we selected was phenomenal and if I had more room in my belly I would have wanted to try everything! Great for groups to get to try more things, but just as wonderful for a date night.

Exquisite small plates that are customizable (i.e. we asked for two without the sauce). The squash mochi entree with vegetables and broth is a sublime plate of textures and subtle flavors. Deserts are awesome. Be back soon.

Far too loud - we had an unpleasant time because we couldn’t hear each other or the servers. They had to shout to tell us what was in each meal, and lean down to hear us. It detracted from the amazing food.

The hype is real. This place has some of the most amazing food I’ve ever tasted, combinations I would never imagine. The flavors are so refined and elegant that you cannot stop eating. It does help that the portions from the cart style services just right for two people. The ambience is a little different than I’d have expected. We were seated at a table for two right next two another table for two, almost like we were dining with them. It becomes harder to have a private conversation that way. So be prepared for it. But, the food helps to forgive any other shortcomings. If you get a reservation here, don’t think twice, just book that table!

Great food at affordable price points. Would come back again and again. Generally you can’t go wrong with anything here. Quail was good but not mind blowing so each to their own - I’d still try it though! Writing this makes me feel hungry honestly.

From the South Bay. We returned to SBP after a too long hiatus (COVID, city turning undesirable for visiting eg crime, car break-ins (4 times in 2 years), general blight, homelessness, etc) and it as fantastic as when we regularly visited since their opening. Food, service and people are super. And I didn't get my car broke into! :-)

Enjoyed the delicious and surprise food selections traveling by, inspiring and fun. We didn’t order additional food from the menus since the small dishes came fast - nearly too fast-even before we had drinks. There is not much privacy, everything is packed and staffed to the max. And since the restaurant was fully booked, the noise level was quite high. Staff was friendly and responsive to our needs, but that changed when our time was up and we were asked to leave, we we were already paying, that was a bit underwhelming.

Great experience, and the food was done excellently. The only thing that I tried that I wasn't a fan of was the oyster dish. It was done well, I just didnt like it but that doesn't mean it wasn't good or that you wont like it. Just my preference, I knew I was taking a risk when I asked for it. The State bird was awesome and an unexpected stand out for me was the "world peace" shot at the end.

Outstand creative food service. A little unsure what to expect with "menu items" mixed with items served Dim Sum - style, from a cart, as they came out of the kitchen. As a result we ended up with too much food - but, as I said, the food was outstanding and the staff was very helpful.

No one will read this, but here goes. When I went to SBP pre-COVID, it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Tonight, I experienced almost the complete opposite. - I’ve dined at my fair share of top-rated restaurants and in my experience, most times a solo diner = automatic bias and reduced quality of service because I don’t spend as much - I requested a bar seat in the reservation notes which seemed to be completely ignored because they put me at a table - I had to wait around 25 minutes for my “table to be ready” even though I had a reservation, whereas other large parties were seated immediately even though I came in before them - I feel like I was ignored by my waitress for the majority of my meal due to her having too many large parties, she made no attempt to delegate until I was basically done eating - My waitress made almost 0 small talk besides asking me how my food was, but it looked like she was having a great time giving speeches to other large parties (even asking about someone’s day is totally fine; maybe I need to borrow a baby, a dog, or some hot frat guys next time) - My dessert was dropped off by a different waiter completely and then it seemed like they ran away in a big hurry - There needs to be a way to opt out of the dim sum options entirely instead of saying “no thank you” 50 times Could not pay my check fast enough.
