Q:
How long do u keep you cooked meat and how do u store it and keep it warm?
A:
Hi Ed, we slow roast our proteins between 8-10 hours depending on the protein. Proteins are kept in our ovens and continue to slow roast throughout the day until they are used.

there is a limit to how much sh*tposting and snacking on pastries one can partake in before it is time to be somewhat linkedin-friendly and eat your vegetables. when such an age of reason arrives, Ben's Fast Food comes in clutch. the answer you are looking for is the wagyu beef hearty bowl, add avocado. yw

Cheap but they cook the proteins until they're ridiculously dry and stringy.
Chicken should not have the texture of pulled chicken
Need a lot of dressing to cover it up.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hey JS! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you found our proteins to be dry and stringy. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will address this matter with our kitchen team to ensure the quality of our dishes meets our standards.
Regarding the texture of the chicken, we apologize for any disappointment caused. We strive to provide tender and flavorful chicken, and we regret that we fell short of your expectations this time.
If you decide to give us another chance, please don't hesitate to let us know if there's anything we can do to make your experience better. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're committed to improving.
Thank you for choosing us!Jan 21, 2021Previous reviewcalled last night and spoke to Ben. sadly they closed a little early due to running out of food. good sign.
tried it today. Feels healthy and good value, a welcome addition to San Francisco where everything is crazy pricey. - Jan 18, 2024
3.5 but rounding up because they're on a mission to make fast food differently! Overall, the food is healthy and affordable. If you're not into that, it might taste bland. Convenient on DoorDash.
I ordered the following:
-Green Smoothie: Not sure if this was freshly made but it didn't taste terrible. The color and taste was decent, not too much ice.
-Chicken Hearty Bowl with Smoky Chipotle Sauce: I added slow roasted chickpeas and potatoes as well as fresh avocado slices. It was filling but at an extra cost.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I really liked this place! I've never been to a ghost kitchen before so it was cool (and a little confusing). It's pretty cheap and so healthy! I ordered the chicken hearty bowl which came with veggies, some grains, and super tender chicken. The chipotle sauce is so delicious. This is one of my go-to places to order from if I'm too lazy to cook but want something healthy and delicious! The only thing is the portion size isn't super big, so you may be a bit hungry after. I sometimes order the green smoothie so it's more filling - it's thick with coconut milk and has a refreshing light sweet flavor!

Hey Sophie! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Ben's Fast Food and that you found the concept both cool and intriguing, even if it was a little confusing at first.
It's fantastic to know that you found our food both affordable and healthy. Our chicken hearty bowl with its tender chicken, veggies, and grains, paired with our delicious chipotle sauce, is indeed a fan favorite! We're delighted that it hit the mark for you.
We hear you on the portion size! While we aim to strike a balance between satisfying and healthy, we understand that appetites vary. That's why we love that you've found a clever workaround with our green smoothie. It's wonderful to hear that it adds that extra touch of satisfaction to your meal with its creamy texture and refreshing flavor!
Thank you for making us one of your go-to spots. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again soon! - Nov 15, 2023
Wow! I stumbled upon Ben's Fast Food with Doordash.
What a pleasant surprise! I was looking for a healthy restaurant with delivery and this place hit the spot.
We ordered the Chickpea and Potato Mixed Bowl and Chicken Mixed Bowl. They have various sauces to choose from and we tried the Rosemary Balsamic. The dishes had quite a bit of food for the great price point. I wish I would have gotten extra sauce, it was so good.
I'll definitely order again:)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Found this place on Yelp as we were looking for a healthy place to eat after a long run. Had good reviews so decided to try it out.
First thing to call out, this is A GHOST KITCHEN. We came here without properly looking into it and found out on spot but they still let you order there. Overall they have a very streamlined process which I was impressed by. Everything was pretty automated and you pick up your food very fast after ordering.
The food was also very affordable! 9.95 for the chicken bowl which for the Bay Area I'm surprised even exists. The whole meal was also super healthy and also tasted really good! Not to mention I was also actually full after eating it ?!
I'm really happy I discovered this place and would come back again if I'm feeling healthy!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1Business owner information

Hi Doreen, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad that you found us based on good reviews & are thankful that you left one as well!
Glad to hear that the Ghost Kitchen concept was efficient & convenient for you. We know that it's a newer concept to some folks & we are working with the ghost kitchen team to make the process as seamless as possible.
We are on a mission to make healthy food affordable, delicious & healthy, thank you for supporting us & we look forward to serving you again soon. - Leslie R.Discovery Bay, CA1407068Feb 26, 2024
So fresh and tasty! Lacking a little on the amount of protein....only reason im not giving 5 stars. Only had about 4-5 bites of chicken. Next time ill order extra sauce and extra meat. Got the lemon thyme and i want to drink it its so good!! Added the chickpeas. They have SO much flavor! Also got the green drink. Tasty as well. Definitely hit the healthy spot.

Hey Leslie! Thanks a lot for your review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and found it delicious and fresh. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we're sorry if the amount of protein didn't fully meet your expectations. Just so you know, we typically include 60 grams of protein in our bowls, which is a little over 2 ounces. Maybe next time, with a little extra protein, we'll earn those 5 stars from you. Can't wait to serve you again!

What a disaster, and I'm honestly not sure who to blame. I placed an order for a Pork Shoulder Hearty Bowl via DoorDash and came to the little pickup center that serves many restaurants, including Ben's Fast Food. The entire process was anything but fast, and the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 star is because the food was actually decent.
I kept scanning my confirmation screen at the kiosk, but my order couldn't be found. No one else seemed to be having issues with their order, so I thought it was just me. I finally flagged down a staff member, who couldn't find my order either, despite the messages I was getting from DoorDash. Unfortunately I had to wait for my meal all over again.
It was late at night, and this SoMa alley already didn't feel the safest. I was exhausted post-workout and not sure if I'll give Ben's Fast Food another try. Maybe delivery? Seems to be what everyone else was doing. But seriously, if you're going to have an automated food pickup system for customers, at least make sure it works. Or make up for errors.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Business owner information

Hey Stefanie, really sorry to hear about the breakdown in the pickup process that you experienced. We appreciate the feedback & have not really had any issues with customers picking up their orders, so that means we have additional work to do to continue to improve.
We don't really know what happened here, it could have been a technical glitch in the system that lost your order or potentially it was mistakenly picked up by another driver / customer which is why it didn't show up in the system.
We are thankful that we were able to remake your order fresh. We will provide this feedback to the building management who owns the tech behind the pickup process.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review. We hope you'll give us another shot to change your experience. - 117107437Jan 20, 2024
Needed a quick, healthy lunch and found Ben's on a delivery app. So excellent! Chicken bowl with avocado and walnuts added was enough for two people. Tons of chicken and everything. Chipotle dressing was delicious too. Really good value and high quality ingredients.
