    Really a cool spot, the lamb was delicious, so as the clam dish. Believe it's called Mydia . The octopus civeche was more tomatoes than Octopus, that was pretty disappointing. Great wine selection . Owner was there and was really nice. Our waitress was really nice to and very knowledgeable about the dishes. Will come back again.

    I’ve been a huge fan of this restaurant for years. We love the coffee marinated spare ribs. If you love coffee, you gotta try them! We drive in from the East Bay just to enjoy this delicious dish! Also, the sea bass with leeks dish is very good too! Dim sum is awesome too. This is a great little spot on Folsom. They used to be on Geary long ago and was forced out bc of a terrible nearby fire in another building that damaged their restaurant. I’m so grateful they reopened! Service is excellent. Try to make online reservations ahead of time. It’s easy!
