The food is BEYOND EXCELLENT. The service efficient and friendly. I like everything about this place except something they can't control, there is no Muni stop near by and both maps and muni trip planner route you through that iffy 6th and Market area. Try as I might, the best I could do is go downtown and take 14 to 6th and Mission to get a little closer to Howard. Even so, walking towards Howard, it felt like The Tenderloin, although we were left alone. But at the corner of 6th and Howard, where Bini's Kitchen is, it is like a breath of fresh air. Such an attractive, clean and inviting place. And the food is so totally worth it. I just have to find a better way to get here. In the meantime I will savor what I have with hopes to return.

I was running errands in the area and was absolutely famished--pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem. I enjoyed their momos and the curry sauce--I think the combo plate is the way to go in order to fill up. I got the Gurkha Chicken, which came with plenty of meat--I ended up with enough for leftovers for the next day's lunch. It reheats well! I do have to note though that the surrounding area is kinda sketch, so just walk fast + keep your eyes & ears open.

I'm obsessed with the vegan moms from Bini's Kitchen. I've ordered from them on Grubhub before, and I've also grabbed food straight from their truck in the Ferry building. Everything is so tasty and perfect for takeout. It's definitely one of my top spots for amazing vegan eats in SF!

Loved this restaurant. Had the chicken, lamb and vegan. The favorite was the chicken mono. They were juicy and tender and bursting with flavor. The spice blend was perfect, paired best with their tomato sauce on top. The lamb was also fantastic. The vegan one was a little too sweet for my taste.

Wow I love this place! I been chasing their food trucks in the past, but glad I finally get the chance to actually check out their stable restaurant and not a truck. It looks like this their main location with sit down dining and you can see the ladies making the scrumptious dumplings on the tray. I bought three Chicken MoMo which is Nepalese Ground chicken Dumpling serviced with spicy tomato cilantro sauce. plates to go to let my family try it. It was soft, tender very similar to the Chinese dumpling which I enjoyed. Yummy in my tummy! The most popular street food in Nepal is the momo where each dumplings are stuffed with either Lamb, Turkey or Tofu and Vegetables and served with a tangy roasted tomato and cilantro sauce. I also tried the Gurkha Chicken which was a bit spicy that is made of Boneless chicken thigh stewed in yogurt, tomatoes, and our Bini's Kitchen house spice blend. You definitely needed rice to go with this dish. Great flavoring. I would love to come back here and try more items, and I am glad I took a day off work to make a side trip here. The corridor from 6th and Market is a bit sketchy, just walk quickly. People mostly keep to themselves.

I've been getting Bini's chicken combo plate since 2017 and it's consistently been so good. I love this spot!

TGTO The Nepal dumplings were delicious with the saffron pilaf and garbanzo/red beans. It was flavorful with spices. Packed to go in a compostible container with foil to line it to keep the steam from disintegrating the container. Very clever. What a place on 6th street corner. I was coming from Howard since 6th street is so intense from Market to Howard. They only open M to F 11 to 3 pm. Very narrow window of opportunity.

My first time having Bini's. Stopped by the Bini's stand at OutsideLands. I ordered the turkey momo combo plate with chicken curry. The momos were so yummy and the chicken curry was flavorful. My favorite dish from OSL!

Honestly Bini's Kitchen deserves a special shout out for the lamb momos they serve. Hands down one of the best momos I have had in my life, trust me I have had plenty and the moms here are a star dish. I first found them when I was exploring the farmers market around the ferry building and I fell in love with these momos. The value for money is great (8 pieces for 10$) and they come with a tomato sauce at the top. It's so tasty that it's actually finger licking good. I have tried the turkey momos also and they are also quite legit. The lamb momos are the show stoppers definitely and I almost go once a month to the farmers market for them. Keep up the great quality. Would recommend to everyone who loves momos. Trust me you will really enjoy having the food from here. I don't have a clear picture because whenever I buy them I instantly start eating. Most delicious and scrumptious momos I have had.
