                                                          A longtime fave with fun vibes and a personable staff. The food’s always been solid but felt even more refined this time, including a few new menu items (the always great yakisoba def leveled up, miso Brussels sprouts are way more interesting then your average offering, and the crispy Korean “tacos” were bomb). If you haven’t been in a while, I suggest giving it another visit.

                                                          This has easily become one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco. The Vegetarian Restaurant Week Menu was absolutely amazing. Their Vegan and Vegetarian options are so flavorful and outstanding. They have a wonderful Natural Wine selection and so many fun pinball games.

                                                          Maybe the best value was the tater tots. The tiny cup of ketchup was insufficient and the extra 50 Cent charge for more ketchup, was a WTF! The other dishes were OK, but not stellar. The service was erratic, and although we were the first customers of the evening, it still took them more than 10 minutes to take our order after we closed the menus and waited. Overall, we were unimpressed and wouldn’t return.
