Best Californian Restaurants in Japantown

It was such a lovely meal. Had to wait for a minute even with a reservation, but they seated and the exquisite food keep coming.

This restaurant is a must if you’re in San Fransisco. The revolving menu keeps it fresh and exciting and all of the food is of high quality and amazing taste. The service was incredible.

This was such a wonderful experience, from greeting to farewell! The ambiance is casual yet sophisticated. The cocktails were great and they have an extensive wine list. The food was delectable, unusual yet usual pairings kept us intrigued and excited for each new dish. Overall, would highly recommend!

The food quality at Octavia is very high. The chefs really know what they’re doing. We had a pre-fixe menu for Christmas Eve dinner and they accommodated dietary restrictions with advanced notice. They actually called a few days in advance of the reservation to confirm the dietary restrictions which was really nice. We had 9 courses I think and they were all delicious. My favorites were the soup and the pasta dishes. The service was also very good, the servers were very attending and accommodating. There was one dish I didn’t eat much of because it had radicchio in it which I don’t like, and our server offered to have the kitchen make me a replacement dish with a different lettuce instead. The only negative of Octavia is that it feels very cramped. The space is small and they squeeze in a lot of tables so you’re sitting basically on top of other diners and it’s a little awkward. Everything else was great though. I would definitely recommend Octavia as a good place for special occasions or bringing out of town visitors.

I love Ferm Lab …it’s like home…hahaha , whether they like it or not . Can’t fail with the Happy Hour Menu= Chicken Sliders , Duck fat French fries , Bees Knees cocktail My new favorite must have is the Poke w Taro Chips
