About the restaurant

62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

Harris’ is the quintessential steak house experience. We offer dry-aged, mid-western beef, outstanding martinis, and an award winning wine list.
In our lounge we have live jazz nightly.

Although the lounge is available for more casual dining, we do have a dress code in the main dining room: please, no shorts, t-shirts or sportswear.

The service doesn’t match the food. I think it is a shame considering what an institution this place is.

This place is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of FiDi and North Beach. Although the cost is a bit of a splurge, it's worth it for a special occasion, date night, family celebration or just dinner with friends. Happy hour is well priced, with delicious cocktails and bites, and chocolate cake on the dessert menu is beyond anything you have ever tasted. I have eaten both in the upstairs (Restaurant Week) and downstairs (Happy Hour) areas, and both have a great ambiance. The downstairs has a lounge/speakeasy vibe that would be perfect for a date.

About the restaurant

Located in San Francisco’s Design District, Niku Steakhouse is a meat-focused restaurant, highlighting an in-house dry aging program, exclusive cuts of coveted Japanese A5 wagyu with an emphasis on wood fired cooking.

Niku, by the Omakase Restaurant Group, hosts a dining room oriented around a roaring custom binchotan charcoal and wood-fired grill, where guests watch as Executive Chef Dustin Falcon (Lazy Bear, The French Laundry) and his team prepare steaks to perfection. At Niku, there is a true marriage of American and Japanese sensibilities. Falcon’s cooking is driven by the terroir of Northern California — which finds its way onto the menu through foraged ingredients and products from local farmers — met with the highest quality domestic and A5 Japanese Beef.

Service overall good. The ceviche mixto, Morcilla blood sausage, and filet mignon were delicious. The tables are very close together, so we could hear other people’s conversations. I received a free dessert for my birthday, which was a welcome surprise.

We were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary, Originally I was nervous because they sat us at the patio bar area but it was heated and blankets were provided. Our waiter, whose name I can't remember was pretty great, he checked on us, kept our wine glass filled, and did not steer me wrong with the espresso martini. The food was also delicious, we ordered the tomahawk, Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, poke, Caesar salad, and black truffle mac n cheese. everything was delicious. would definitely go back again.
