No No Burger

Really great place and the food is extremely delicious. I try to go as often as I can.

The burgers are phenomenal. It’s hard to believe they’re vegan. They have the same texture and break down like a Five Guys burger. The only thing I didn’t like about the burger was the break. It’s white bread and it smashes up exactly like a Five Guys burger, but it tastes fine. Most vegan burger patties I e tasted have a distinct flavor that is gross in my opinion. These burgers DO NOT have that flavor!
While we were eating, a man walked up to us with a large camera and asked if he could photograph our food for promotional purposes. I didn’t like that since we were in the middle of our dinner. There was also a guy walking around in a thong which was inappropriate since people are eating and children are present. Other than that, the park is quiet and calming.

I’m more of a non-​processed, grasses pastured paleo type. Though open to other philosophies, it’s just what seems to work best for this body. That said, I’ll eat a little of anything if I know it will taste amazing.
Today was my first time at the SoMa street food market. I saw a hamburger place and thought, yeah, a burger! So stepped up to the truck and ordered my burger, lettuce wrap style (no wheat), and added bacon! At one point, the guy told me all their ingredients were vegan, but my mind was somewhere else, just give my burger.
Order up. I sit, I take a bite. Damn good!.. but different. That’s when I realized what I was eating. It goes against what I believe to be my optimal diet, but I came for flavor today, and I had it. Everything about it was great.
Had it registered in my brain I’d be eating a soy/​legume/​grain patty, I would have politely excused myself before completing the order. I’ve tried vegan patties before and they just didn’t do anything for my buds. Glad I wasn’t living in the now at that moment :)
Even though it’s soy, and there is some processing involved, it’s done with care for people’s health, which I always appreciate, no matter the philosophy. The owner was very open about the ingredients, nongmo organic soy from a local farm he has a relationship with, coconut oil in the amazing sauce, etc.

I had this as a food truck in SF during a pokecon (even though this wasn’t a poke). We really liked the logo of this truck so we decided to try it.
We ordered the waffle bites to share, which is basically waffle fries with Sriracha and mayo. WHO KNEW that these sauces mixed together is bomb bomb bomb. The fries itself was good, but mixed with the sauces… HOLY. Another pro of this place is that you could ask for more sauce on the top. We finished half of the fries and then asked for more sauce and they gave us twice the much sauce. It was honestly amazing.
I would like to try this in Oakland one day rather than a food truck and definitely recommend it ¹⁰⁄₁₀!

Went today and had a way better experience the burger was made to perfection and the vegan bacon was amazing. Hope this place is around for many many years to come. Thanks for reaching out Kendall and making my NoNo experience great again!
I recommend it you’ve never been here the green chile burger with cheese it is My favorite!

I got the volcano burger and it was the most flavorful burger I have ever had. Maybe I was just really hungry but it was amazing. Good eats!

Normally I’m anti Unilocal reviews but seriously? What have we done to deserve such good vegan food?!
This place is literally the most amazing vegan burger place in SF. I always leave completely satisfied and totally stuffed.
I take EVERYONE here, even my non Vegan friends, the staff is friendly, the food impeccable and it’s walking distance from my house.
I highly recommend the volcano…

According to me … best vegan burgers in California!!!
My bf and I LOVE SOMA StrEAT Food Park and eat here nearly every weekend now. It’s such an amazing place and No No Burger appears to be one of the permanent vendors (some of the others rotate). This is perfect because I can invite anyone to lunch and be guaranteed a tasty vegan option and not be stuck with a plain salad and fries! But get here early, because sometimes No No Burger runs out of food… because the food is DELICIOUS!
First, huge kudos to the awesome young woman who greets everyone and takes their orders. She rotates her hair color often and it’s always an awesome color – I will not name her for privacy reasons, but she’s super nice and makes the experience pleasant.
All of the burgers are amazing, so you can’t go wrong with any of them. I was told the ring of fire is the most popular burger and I can see why, it’s delicious! I’ve also ordered the more plain jane burger and still felt quite impressed afterwards. The waffle fries with aioli are also awesome, though something I don’t order often for the sake of my waistline, but something I’d like to eat everyday! The soft serve ice cream was also FANTASTIC and something I highly recommend everyone try. No No Burger is my #1 choice for vegan burgers in SF, bar none.

My daughter just started her new lifestyle of going vegan and wanted to try the NoNo burger. So we tried it out and I have to tell ya it’s just as good if not better than a regular beef patty burger. I had the mushroom burger while my kids had the original nono burgers and they loved it! We had fun at the StreatFood Park and will definitely be back for more! Yummy in our tummies!

Hands down the best vegan burger I’ve ever had!!! My husband and I went here for the first time today and can’t even begin to tell you how good it was. Nono burger puts all other burger places to shame. Sure it maybe more pricey than other places, but you pay for what you get! You won’t be let down.
The only thing I’d suggest is to add almond milk shakes :) I was bummed soft serve was only available on Sunday’s.

Was a huge fan when I first discovered this place at the SOMA street food park. Always nice and fresh and taste amazing loved the green chile burger!!!
But as of recently it just seems that the standards have gone down… Soggy fries sloppy burgers so covered in sauce that I cannot even pick it up with out it all falling apart. Some times I walk over to the food park when they are suppose to be there only to find it closed.
These are a few of the things that are keeping me from going as often as I once was. If this continues I will stop going all together! Please get your act together NO NO as I want to love you.

Today, I had my first NoNo Burger and it was AMAZING! I got it from the food truck at the Soma StrEAT park! Got Damn, this was a good burger and fries! Vegan is the way to go! No No with cheese was awesome! I can’t recommend this place enough. I am surely becoming vegan soon. Everyone must check this place out!

Vegetarian for over two decades. Have had many hideously disgusting veggie burgers.
I’m a healthy person. I eat a lot of healthy foods. But, as a healthy person, sometimes I feel like I might actually die if I eat another shred of kale/​soaked cashew/​date sweetened dessert. Sometimes you just need something good– not something über healthy attempting to be good (ugh… Ever had a black bean brownie? I rest my case.)
This was absolutely, hands down, the best veggie burger I’ve ever had.
Fries were okay, but outshone by the burger.
Slaw was excellent.
Soft serve with Oreos? Just. Yes.
As a bonus, the chick that took my order was super nice/​friendly. Can’t wait to go back.
**the ghost pepper sauce is actually spicy and very very good.

I’m neither a vegan nor vegetarian, but conversely, I don’t flip out if I don’t have meat in a meal. That said, their mushroom «burger» was surprisingly better than I expected, and actually really good. It’s a bit more on the messy side of the burger spectrum (vs. super refined white tablecloth), but the flavor and textural elements are (mostly) on point.
+ The mixture of grilled and raw onions was a nice contrast.
+ The bun was grilled for a bit of that nice Maillard goodness.
+ The lettuce was cool and crisp (not limp and wilted).
+ The mushrooms weren’t overly copious, and mostly stayed within the buns.
— They were a smidge heavy handed with the sauce, and it did tend to muddle the flavor of the other ingredients.
— The patty itself was on the thin side, probably a bit under half an inch thick. I had to specifically bite off a bit of patty on its own to check out the flavor/​texture, and it was ehhh, okay. Definitely not gonna confuse it with beef, but still had a good amount of savoriness/​umami, and leagues better than the old dry flavorless chewy hockey pucks of days gone by.
As a whole though, everything worked really well together. Plus, it’s a filling decent sized burger, and as a plus plus, it came with some kettle chips.
Docking a star due to cost. I know we’re in techboomtown, but even after accounting for quality ingredients, $ 12 after tax for a food truck burger (without fries) is a bit on the high side.

BURGER!!!
This is the best vegan burger ever I’ve tried so far.
I had the classic with cheese, which tasted like an In-​N-​Out burger (!!!)
The patty is definitely tastes like meat, the thousand island tastes like thousand island, and the cheese definitely melts and tastes like cheese. Everything is fresh. You can trust this review because I used to love and eat (inhale) beef burgers. No No Burger has translated some of the best features of hamburgers over to the vegan side.
I need to try all the other types and toppings.
Delicious!

I blame my mother for my hesitation at eating mushrooms, but I thank places like No No Burger for showing me the light. Mushrooms cooked the wrong way are terrible, but mushroom cooked the right away are incredible! And that’s what No No Burger’s Melted Mushroom burger taught me!
You’ll get a house-​made patty, lettuce, pickles, grilled and raw onions, No No sauce, sautéed mushrooms & melted cheddar for the reasonable price of $ 11. Expect your tastebuds to be blown away and your burger standard to be raised ten fold. Why go to a burger restaurant when the real deal can be purchased straight from a truck?! Thanks No No for showing me the light!

For a veggie burger it’s pretty good BUT starting at $ 9 for the basic burger and maxing out at a whopping $ 12 for the Ring of Fire it damn well better be! Add some fries for $ 3, $ 5 or with some Sriracha and mayo $ 7! Thats right, $ 2 for a squirt of Sriracha and mayo which is usually free at almost every single place on Earth. I went there the other day not thinking and just ordered without looking at the menu, I ended up dropping $ 21.00 for a Ring of Fire burger and Sriracha fries! No drink! Did I mention Ring of Fire? A drink would have put me at $ 25 so I suffered through the burn. I mean come on No No, you’re a friggin food truck, you’re suppose to be cheap! As good as the burger is it’s not worth the money. Sorry No No, you just lost a loyal customer, I’ll go back to $ 2 veggie tacos and save the $ 25 for a good bottle of wine, or and entrée at Range.

Awesome! I’m not much of one for vegan burgers, but these were delicious! And the fries are amazing too — I wouldn’t have thought to put Sriracha and vegan mayo together, but these guys really know what they’re doing. The people who work here and friendly and very willing to give suggestions, as well. I really enjoyed this lunch! Was surprisingly filling, too!

Do you want to try the best burger of your life? Then go track down No No Burger and have a taste. I can’t believe these burgers are vegan. I have no fucking clue how they make them but they are perfect, with the tastiest bacon (unfathomably delicious) and buns toasted to perfection. Get bacon and avocado, you won’t regret it. The Ring of Fire is fantastic. Skip the fries, they’re not worth the extra few bucks.

I love their burgers! I don’t know why someone would say their burgers are small… I completely disagree!
Burgers are filling and full of flavor! I can always count on Nono burgers for a nice filling vegan meal!
My husband loves it, my mother in law (non vegan) loves it as well.

I’ll be honest– even when I ate meat I didn’t really care that much about burgers unless it was on the way home at 3AM, but I’d heard enough emphatic recommendations of No No Burger to give it a go. And yeah, okay, I get it.
I was on the move so I got a Ring of Fire and fries to go. The burger was served up quickly by very friendly staff. Once I finally got around to eating it was delighted to find the slightly chewy, moist texture of the patty, the creamy spiciness of the sauce and the soft bun. The small fries was anything but.
I’ll confess that I checked whether they were open for dinner once I finished.

What makes a great vegetarian or vegan burger?
I get the meat sweats so I’m no vegetarian or vegan (much respect for those who are) but a solid vegetarian or vegan burger should make you NOT miss beef, yah?
Source knew this as they made THE best beet burger ever! RIP, you’re truly missed.
The No No Burger @SoMa StrEat Food Park was poor quality, poorly executed, and expensive.
My friend and I shared the Classic No No Burger w/​avocado, «bacon» & crinkle cut fries for $ 17:
. Seeing that I can get a burger and fries at Spruce, Nopa, and just about any upscale New American Restaurant in SF for around the same price, I expected something better than Foods Co-​ish ingredients thrown together.
Looks-​wise, the burger looked like a cafeteria burger but what’s important is the taste. It was mushy and wet in the center — really unappetizing. While waiting for our order, I saw one of the workers use his fingers (with gloves) to scoop out the avocado and smear it onto the burger. Not a big deal since he was wearing gloves but for such a pricey vegan burger, sliced avocados would be nice. What little avocado we received for $ 2 was brown and grey. The addition of the $ 2 faux bacon was missing but I didn’t want to stand in line again and wait another 15 minutes so that’s on me. Crinkle cut fries were crunchy but that’s hard to mess up.
With all the stellar reviews, I was hoping to fool my carniwhore friend like I did with Source’s burger:
Friend *takes first bite*: «Ummm, why does it taste like that?»
Me: «It’s a vegan burger.»
Friend: «WTF, I ain’t giving up anything for lent so you trying to imply something… like I need to diet?»
Me: «In-​N-​Out later?»
Friend: «Now, that’s WHY we’re friends!»
P. S. — The lady cashier was really upbeat and friendly!

I do appreciate a good vegetarian burger, especially a creative one. There are quite a few options in life.
So, I came to No No Burger in search of an actual burger. It wasn’t until after I ordered the Ring of Fire (with ghost pepper sauce on the side) that I realized that the burger may not be made of beef, whoops!
Honestly, it’s not my jam. The burger patty itself lacked flavor, texture, and was super thin. I’ve had many vegetarian burgers in my day (even made them myself) and it just was aiight, quite monotone. I would expect more from a housemade patty.
The amount of No No sauce that’s smeared all over is overwhelming and a turn off. The ratio of burger, to condiments, to fried onions, to chilis, to sauce is way off and unbalanced. Just. Too. Much. (especially not being a huge fan of mayo). I did know what I was ordering, just thought it would be a better ratio.
I did appreciate that when I asked for no bun, they wrapped it in lettuce.

So thrilled to know that this truck will be at the StrEat Park.
The Ring of Fire burger is incredible. If you’re wondering if you should eat at No No, i’ll keep the answer simple for you: YES YES!!!

Good but for $ 9 I was hoping for better since I saw such good reviews…
Honestly, it just tasted like a more premium McDonald’s burger. The bun was average and tasted like you could buy it from a normal grocery store. I wish it was at least toasted. The lettuce was also your typical lettuce from Subway. I was decently full afterwards but it wasn’t a huge burger.
Pretty disappointing. That said, the workers here are super friendly.

Addicted to the Ring of Fire burger but can’t go wrong with any of the burgers listed on the menu. I’ve tried a lot of veggie burgers and this one hands down is my favorite. Ghost sauce on the side for a nice kick. Plus the waffle fries drenched in crema and sirarcha are a fatty bonus. The regular fries are blah but everything else so good. Don’t mistake this for healthy eating. It’s a nice indulgence and you won’t miss animal meat. Trust.
Location is at the Soma Street Food park by the SF Costco.

After several months of being on hiatus, No No Burger is back! They have their trailer set up permanently at SOMA StrEAT Food Park in SF and are open every day except Monday, I believe. I’m a bit sad that they are no longer popping up in my neighborhood in the far East Bay (Concord) but on the other hand, I’m happy and glad that they are back in business! I missed them and craved their burgers so much while they were away.
It’s pretty cool to see that they’ve expanded their menu and now offer waffle fries with sriracha and mayo and more add on’s for the burger like vegan bacon and avocado. They even offer a vegan version of «animal style» fries.
One thing I noticed is that the bun has changed. I really miss the previous fresh baked bun and hope they bring it back.
Congrats to No No Burger for being back in business and that they are off to a successful start! I was there last Sunday for the monthly Very Vegan Sunday’s at SOMA StEAT Food Park and they were the most popular truck in the park.

A no frills vegan burger food truck that WOWS you from first bite to end.
I had my first No No at the Eat Real Festival in 2014 in Oakland. I did not even realize it was a vegan stand until it was pointed out to me by a friend. I’m so glad he did, because when I bit into it, my entire understanding of vegan burger changed.
Veggie burgers are one of those «standards» when it comes to being a vegetarian or vegan. We’ve all eaten way too many of them in our lives, willingly or not, and there are simply so many. And they range from amazing to downright disgusting. I stopped eating veggie burgers because there is simply more vegan food to be had in this world.
That being said, after I ate No No, I knew that this is the only Veggie Burger that I would WANT to come back and eat more again and again.
After over a 1 year No No Dry Spell, I received Christmas early this year, No No burger was going to be part of the rotating selection of food trucks at Soma Streat Park!
I got my butt over there on Thursday, said hi to Brandi W. (Hi Brandi!), and ordered myself a No No with Sauteed Mushrooms & Cheese.
When I bit into it, it was like No No at first sight all over again. The tasty patty, full of flavor, soft, and comforting, mixed with the oozing ‘cheese’ just made my taste buds do a happy dance. Every now and then, I got a huge bite of mushroom which was exciting.
The only thing that would make this better is probably some fresh California avocados or guacamole. Can we make that happen?
I even had my omnivore friend order one and was happily surprised at the quality and taste of the burger.
I’m already thinking about my next No No Burger, and I’m happy it will be sometime sooner than later!
