Crema's Take
“Wooly Pig is a beloved San Francisco spot that masterfully blends excellent specialty coffee with craveable, bold Asian-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes—think crispy you tiao alongside silky jook and flavor-packed curry udon that keep people coming back. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between casual and intentional, with genuinely warm service and a clean, comfortable space that feels equally welcoming whether you're settling in for a leisurely morning or ducking in for a quick bite. Get there early to snag a seat and experience why this place has earned such devoted regulars.”

Revisited, had an amazing breakfast experience with nobody there. I could see why people fell in love with this place. My recommendation is to get in early.
Good food. I got the chicken and ginger jook (the added crispy and warm you tiao was a nice touch) and my husband got the Szechuan tofu with rice and greens. I thought the house side salad had too much dressing, which I ended up wiping away. Service was friendly and helpful. I was not a big fan of the cavernous, noisy, bustling cafe atmosphere. Too much echoing and running around for my taste.
so cute and amazing service! the food is great too i came here when i really had to poop all of a sudden and graciously they had a very clean bathroom too.
The Wooly Pig sandwich was a let down. Too much meat and not enough crunch from the arugula; the flavors and the textures were out of balance. The texture reminded me of pulled pork rather than sliced pork belly, which was how it was advertised on the menu (“Shanghai-style braised caramel pork belly”). More arugula and more pickled onion would’ve helped this sandwich immensely. Or even a few shreds of pickled cabbage because the arugula is too delicate to balance out the pork. The shrimp chips were the best part of the meal.
The food looks a lot better, but I forgot to take pictures until halfway through eating the delicious meal! We got the Szechuan chicken and curry udon - every bite was an explosion of flavor. The restaurant fully beat my expectations (admittedly, I was a bit confused about what the food would be like going in) 😬 but everything was amazing. Would highly recommend!!!!
