“This Noe Valley restaurant is a mainstay for neighborhood residents craving an affordable night out, and more so for those with dietary restrictions. Yes, just about everything is gluten-free, but pretty much all the items can be prepared plant-based, too. The Japanese sweet potato tostones, laden with a citrus and ginger glaze, are one such vegan delight. * [Book a table on OpenTable](http://www.opentable.com/firefly-restaurant?ref=9040) * [4288 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Firefly%20Restaurant%2C%204288%2024th%20St%2C%20San%20Francisco%2C%20CA%2094114%2C%20USA) * [(415) 821-7652](tel:4158217652) * [Visit website](http://www.fireflys”
