Here’s an excerpt of a Yelp review from Kim C.:

Why Cassava does not appear on every best of SF/must do while visiting the city list, I do not know, but this place is a charming hidden gem. Definitely rivaling Outerlands across the park, the food is perfectly seasoned and the flavors dance in your mouth. I cannot say enough accolades for every menu item I have tasted.

Bonus, the service is as good as the food :] Everyone is friendly and looking to accomodate in whatever way they can.
