Akikos
This week’s dinner was at Akiko’s, which recently moved into their new location on Folsom St. as of January 10. As we entered, there was a very nice cocktail bar at reception. Had we known, we would have come earlier to enjoy although since it was right by the door, it was a bit rough…

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star…

Kusakabe
This week’s dinner was at Kusakabe. This place was recommended by the woman we were seated next to at the last Ritual dinner so we decided to give it a try. It’s right across the street from the Transamerica building. It’s a Japanese kaiseki style restaurant so we were very interested to see how they…

Uchi
Last night’s omakase dinner with Trisha. My favorite dish was the negitoro roll, the fried tofu dish, and the eggplant.

Robin
This week’s dinner was at Robin. I hadn’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but Andrea had eaten here with Trisha since then. Back then, I really enjoyed the modern take on sushi and enjoyed the rap music playing as background music. So I was really looking forward to coming here again, but wondered if…

Hand Roll Project
We’re looking for an impromptu dinner with sushi. This was a place I was curious about based on all of the hype it received in the press V V, probably because one of founders was Geoffrey Lee from restaurant Juni (one Michelin star) and they were expanding on the handroll concept. This restaurant currently doesn’t…

Yuji
We eat out a lot so always in something new and unique. This week I had us booked at Yuji, a kappo-style Japanese restaurant with a scant 8 seats in the heart of Japantown that just opened up a couple weeks ago. You can’t book them on OpenTable, Resy, or Tock (or even Seven rooms)…

Wako
I’ve been wanting to come back here…we last ate here pre-pandemic, although we did do take out during that time and as good as that was, it’s not nearly the same. Last time we ate here, we weren’t seated at the counter, but this time I made sure we were and that makes a big…

Sato Omakase
This is a new multi concept restaurant that just just added their 10-seat omakase counter a few weeks ago. Seating is not socially distanced like The Shota was, so was a little tight if you are concerned about that. Of course we went to the first seating since I’m old and like to go to…
