Best Brunch Restaurants in Japantown

I had not been in many years…but I remembered the food was great…and it still is. We were two…she had a salad, a soup and a chicken dish…she loved them all….I had the scallops scrudo…tender and mild for those who eat raw shellfish….the pork chop was outstanding, my drink was the last kiss…wonderful. Thank you to our primary server Maria for her guidance. Everyone was attentive…not overbearing. A beautiful dinner was had.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere - highly recommend!

This is what an excellent dining experience is about. From the greeter at the front, full of warm welcomes on a rainy evening to the general manager re-seating us due to a wobbly table we had the most amazing evening. Service is excellent, Christian and the house managers were attentive polite and professional. The sommelier as well chose our white and red wines and nailed it! The food goes without saying, we had pear salad, crudeo and pasta. The special white truffle pasta as a share was amazing. Duck, scallops, lobster pasta as mains. Benigets for dessert with a vanilla and dark chocolate sauce. Cocktails also supreme, old fashioned, martini's and a Paper Plate! We really had such a wonderful time and it reminded me of the wonder of our city and the talented restaurant chefs, and servers in the Presidio.

I was excited to check out this new place in Japantown and it did not disappoint. We had duck tacos and pork belly Benedict & they were delicious! Duck tacos were my favorite - savory and complex. The menu is mostly Asian fusion and the kimchi is house made (obvs in the name) and sooo good. Who knew kimchi & hollandaise combine to delicious effect. Cocktails were great too. Best of all was the server. So kind, friendly, and super fast. Also, we went for brunch and there was an entire baby group in there and it was not even loud. So everyone go check out the Fermentation Lab!!

The venue was steps away from our hotel room. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Food was served hot, fresh and delicious. Service was excellent.
