The Panna Cotta is great and a little different than what you're used to ✨
Great tofu made in house, also fantastic for brunch!
Make sure to get a sashimi platter, the croquettes, and the hojicha panna cotta!
Food was good, but not mind blowing. Delicious desserts. Great atmosphere.
The daily sashimi spread is always perfection. Izakaya bits are stellar.
I thought everything was generally ok but there were no amazing standouts
Fun (and smoky!) vibe. Gyoza, udon carbonara, and tsukune were all good. Skip the panna cotta- good flavor, but really stiff texture.
Fun place for tapas style Japanese cuisine. I enjoyed the fried chicken, yakitori, and the sashimi. Cocktails are a little watery
Very authentic - brought me back to yakitori in Japan. Order Maguro No Yukke rice bowl (add Uni), karaage, chiizu Katsu and any/all yakitori! Yum yum
One of the best meals I've had in San Francisco. Period. Delicious skewers, and a great shochu selection. It's pricy, but well-worth it. The croquettes were great too, as well as the shabu.
Most authentic izakaya in SF. Get the sweet potato beer and katsu
We had so many things, delicious, a bit expensive, but worth it. Did not love the "carbonara" ones. The chicken wings, amazing!
Rintaro's gyoza aren't always on the menu, but when they are, make sure you order the Berkshire pork-filled, lattice-surrounded dumplings.
Get the Gyoza! Chef’s counter seats are great
The portions are perfect! Not huge American ones that leave you stuffed with tons of leftovers; but Japanese portions that leave you satisfied and still able to move. Everything is delicious!
You will feel transported in Kyoto. Try their Katsu with melted cheese in the middle and their Udon Carbonara. Everything else is amazing.
Yakitori, katsu, sashimi... everything is amazing. Don't miss the "limited" items. Udon > donburi.
Karaage. Dipping ramen.
Big fan of the tamago dish and the whole, fried fish. My favorite new izakaya in SF!
