Truly a unique experience; fun and memorable. They let you book your table with pinballs that are only reserved for you preselect the theme ahead of time so you can play the premium new machines. It was overall a great, chill, and not to forget we had a very attentive server, who was super nice! Kudos and thank you for making us feel super welcomed! Anyway, we love it so much we ordered so much food for just two mouths!
I was so glad I came here. While planning a trip to Hawaii I really wanted to eat Loco Moco and found this place. Its interior was quite unique, clean, stylish and fun. I loved how it wasn't crowded with many outside seats, felt like an upscale arcade bar. Our server was phenomenal, funny, funny and attentive. Loco Moko 3.5/5. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed, wished there was a bit more taste. I'd say I watered the curry. But I liked the crispy of rice! Burger 4/5. But Fries 5/5. Super crisp, perfectly fried and this Korean style seaweed sesame seeds on the pommes was very unique and so delicious. 5/5 Service 5/5 In general, the food was fine, but I appreciated unique things about food (from crispy rice, seeweed sesam toppings on fries) I also loved how gluten-free this place was!
Outer Orbit has the best points in town, a very good beer selection and excellent flipper. The rest of the vegan foods is not much to write at home, although it is nice that their menu has become more flexible over the years.

If you haven't gone to OO, you must go! We saw OO on Check Please! as a recommended eatery; we had a wonderful experience! The food is outstanding! Attentive and friendly service as well! We had the Smashburger and it was superb with perfectly cooked fries, crunchy on the outside and moist inside. We decided to take out the shrimp tacos and so glad that we did! They were the BEST tacos we have ever had, and we have traveled globally and have eaten at many eateries. Highly recommended! We plan to return to OO!!
Amazing food, great atmosphere and the pinball machines are in awesome shape. love this spot so much!

This place has a great combination of interesting food and the opportunity to play pinball machines! The decor is quirky and the staff is fun

This place is perfect for enjoying a beer along with a few tasty snacks or a full meal. The quirky interior with pinball machines adds to the fun atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the fries and tacos. Overall, I would rate the food a 4 out of 5.

Super solid beer selection (can draft), cool fun vibes with old school pinball machines and tasty Hawaiian style food
Being honest the menu never interests me but we love to come here for pinball and good craft beers!

Unfortunately I wasnot too impressed, wished there was a bit more flavor. Tasted like watered down curry I would say. But I liked the crunchinessof rice! Burger 4/5. But Fries 5/5. Super crunchy, perfectly fried and this korean style seaweed+sesame seed topping on thefries was very unique and so delicious. Atmosphere 5/5 Service 5/5 In general, food was okay but I appreciated uniquethings about the food (ex crunchy rice, seaweed sesame toppings on fries) Also, I loved how gluten free this place was!
Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: It's a great place to come to for food and pinball fun. The extended review Food: Korean Chicken Tacos 3/5 A good app to share. Some decent flavor combinations here as well. Pig Melt 5/5 I have to say that I had some lower expectations here and was pleasantly surprised. The taste was awesome and I wouldorder it again. And the best part is that I was able to get some tots with this. Malasadas 3/5 I ordered these and curd iswhat really makes the dish. The malasadas were pretty standard fare so make sure to get a bunch of the curd on there. Service:4/5 We sat at the bar and the service was awesome. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Ambiance: 5/5 It's a goodset up where it doesn't allow for that many people inside so it seems more intimate. And as you are waiting for food you canplay pinball!

I visited this place during SFBeerWeek for tap takeovers by Humble Sea and Alvarado Street. They had a variety of delicious vegan options to choose from.
