Definitely one of my favorite japanese restaurants. The tiger roll is excellent and I love the chicken teriyaki dinner. The homemade salad dressing is wonderful. Always crowded here so try to go during the off-peak times.

Great Thai place to go at night since they're open til 2am. Food is decent and reasonably priced. Service could use some work; the waiters always look bored and don't speak much, only amongst themselves. Service is definitely quick-they want you in-and-out as fast as they can. Usually pretty packed in there. I like the fish cakes, thai spicy pan fried noodles. They make the best thai iced teas but always add too much ice. Not in a great neighborhood and parking is almost impossible, but the food is worth it, depending on what you order.

One of my favorite Korean restaurants. The spicy tofu is excellent and the short ribs are the best. The spicy pork was a little mushy though. Service is friendly and they don't mind dishing out more appetizers or rice.

Nice place for large groups since they serve family-style. The decor is simple and open. The food wasn't as good as I expected but the oysters were terrific. Martinis were good and service was okay. A bit pricey for the quality.

Very similar to Pasta Pomodoro but with a fusion twist. Service was great and attentive. The food was better than expected considering it is a chain restaurant. The calamari pasta was pretty good. Not a bad place to eat if shopping around at Embarcadero or catching a movie.

A little pricey for the value but the meat is terrific. A spot for business dinners or a romantic night out. The service is excellent and not too overbearing. The decor is elegant but very plain.

One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. It has an elegant and romantic atmosphere perfect for celebrations or dates. The food is wonderful and definitely priced perfectly. The only vice that I have about this place is that they charge $3 for a small glass of soda with no refills. They can afford to give customers a free second helping of meat, but can't afford to give a free refill of soda? Other than that, I would highly recommend this place and make sure to make reservations!

The crab is absolutely delicious. The garlic noodles may look like plain noodles but they are my favorite as a side dish. Full of garlic and just enough oil make them perfect match if you're getting the crab. Ambiance is nice and service is excellent.

Way over price in my opinion even though the crab was delicious. Although I was in a party of 10, the wait was not long at all. Not a bad place to go if you're craving delicious crab and willing to spend $$.

The menu is overwelming and the wait times are RIDICULOUS- 1 1/2 hrs for a party of 2?? There are only a select FEW dishes that could hold the status of even "good" while the rest are simply there to just confuse the hungry patron that has been waiting for an hour for a seat. Besides the masses of tourists, the noise, the wait time, and the huge menu, the various cheesecakes are definitely worth it.

Very reasonably priced menu and the food is good depending on which dish you order. Wine selection is small but what can you expect from a chain restaurant? Service is usually great and FAST. Excellent place to go before watching a movie next door at Kabuki.

The atmosphere is nice except it is much too dark in there. I could barely read the menu! The food was nothing new - regular steak, chicken, etc. I ordered a medium-rare steak and it came out burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. Not the best, but not that bad either.

I love the bar setup in this restaurant. I thought this place would be more of a bar/lounge because of the name, but it has no ties to it's indian/french cuisine at all. For a waterfront restaurant, the view is terrible; you get a small glimpse of the bay and bridge but mostly the parking lot. The food prices are high for the quality but the drinks are worth it. They have a couple of exotic and playful drinks on the menu which are different.

Although the place has a dark, pub-like ambiance and cafeteria style of ordering, the food is great depending on what you order. The cooks are usually nice but the waitresses seem like they don't want to be there so better off to order your drinks while you're still in line with your food. I love the special braised oxtail with pasta and the lamb shank is always good. Nice place to grab a quick bite before catching a movie across the street.
