- LLindaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoDelicious food and fun concept with having the chef as the server and cooking our dishes perfectly, but needs a dramatic interior revamp and exhaust fans. Interior is mismatched, sad, and cheap, but again, the food was delicious. Bit of a weird disconnect. Fun to go with foodie friends who can afford to pay premium for yakiniku and don't care about ambiance and smelling like a cookout afterwards, but not a beautiful restaurant for a romantic date.More infoYakiniku ShodaiPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese Speciality• Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness•4.8
- JJennieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •22 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoFound this new restaurnt in th city, and this is such a great find! Pleasantly welcomed by the hostess though we are early, every servers were very patient and detailed to explain through all the dishes and drinks where we were spoilt for choice. The serving of the meat were amazing especially with the A5 wagyu which was stunning! Soju recommended by the server was so good and the portion of meat were generous. Ended the night with dessert and they were soo delicious even though we were stuffed. Amazing experience and will definitely come back for sure!More infoABSteak by Chef Akira Back - San FranciscoPrice: Very Expensive• Korean• SOMA•4.5
