3.5 stars. 3 for savory foods and 5 for desserts/cheese. And 4 for ambiance, although I felt the timing between dishes was way too slow.
Overall, I was really hoping to love this restaurant since it’s Japanese french and I usually seriously enjoy that mix. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in the savory foods except a couple things. And this is a one Michelin star place so I definitely had higher expectations than usual.
The best savory dishes were the a5 wagyu (very high quality beef and cooked perfectly) and the scallops with potato and truffles. Other dishes were just okay, nothing memorable and a lot of the flavors mixed together just didn’t produce synergy.
The cheese dish and dessert were both to die for, honestly superb. I wish they could just serve me dessert. :)
I’m glad I tried this place but probably wouldn’t be back.

Have dined here twice. Each time we had a wonderful time, enjoying the presentation and flavor of every dish. Highly recommended.

One of our favorite places to eat at in San Francisco. Good mix of Japanese and French. Slight menu changes each time we go which is nice

Such a wonderful fine dining experience for my husband's birthday. We were seated in their small dining room with only 4 other couples. The room was very intimate and we got the best seat in the house.
All of the dishes were so carefully plated and design, the wine coinnesseur and waiters were so knowledgeable in the ingredients and took the time to explain them and the technique used. Ingredients were very fresh.
They gave us extra desserts to take home with us! Will definitely be back for another special occasion.

Good food, reasonable price. The service was somehow made me feel "pressure" not pleasure, though.

The superb dining experience at this 1 Star Michelin restaurant is unparalleled. They have only 1 seating per night where all the courses are served at the same time, so you will have to time your visit. The food is obviously delicious, but the atmosphere and the experience is what made it unique. They have a romantic setting to that is great for couples and also host larger groups up to 12 for special events. It's a local get that shouldn't be overlooked. I'd highly recommend it.

Excellent food tasting menu and service wasn't too formal, just the right amount of friendliness and professionalism. There were interesting wines paired with each course. I think its a really cool combination of French and Japanese food. There are only a handful of tables and as they only have a single sitting per night, it makes for an intimate and exclusive feeling.

Such a wonderful place! The courses feature on traditional French cuisine, but incorporating much Japanese element. Most of the courses are seafood, in which sushi fish, cooked in French style, is imported directly from Japan. It reminds me of a number of high-end French restaurants in Tokyo. Beware that the interval between courses is a little bit long, but other than that everything is great. Ingredient is so fresh; so it totally worths.

A restaurant that requires time to enjoy… the menu presents an attractive offering… the Uni is a favorite. The wine list is not deep, but expected… not all pairings enhance the flavors… excellent service, almost to a fault… such presentations require time and good company to enjoy… sadly, the downside for me was the excelerated timetable due to the scheduling of reservations…

I picked this place for my 5 year Anniversary with my boyfriend. The restaurant was very romantic and quiet. It's a perfect place for you to bring a first date to impress. Wehn you call to make reservations, you will need to give them your credit card information in case you try to cancel the reservation last minute, they will charge you a fee. I would suggest you to check out the Sample online menu they have on their website to know what to expect. It's going to be around $150 per person for 12 small plates including complimenary dishes. But that does not include drinks. The service is wonderful and you get served your dishes the same time as the tables around you. They explain each dish in detail so you know what you are eating and how to eat them. My favorite was the A5 Wagyu.

Michelin star restaurant has unique way of disguising itself as a local neighborhood place. Hidden within the corner of an old apartment building. The courses are generous size with the finest seafood, some from the Tokyo fish market, and included a cut of A5 Waygu. Plan on 3+ hours for this meal. Loved it.

Service very good, foods ok. The uni is delicious.

Truly an exceptional dining experience. It's a 1 Michelin Star restaurant but I think it is underated. The place has a peaceful atmosphere brought to you by the impeccable décor and the attentive personel. Every course is surprising with a pronounced Japanese influence. Delicate is the adjective which would best describe the overall experience. For wine amateurs, you have to ask directly to the sommelier who has amazing bottles for every budgets.

While it's not inexpensive, it is worth the cost in comparison to other restaurants in that price range. We had a very nice and relaxed meal with some interesting and different food, and great wine pairings. We would definitely come back again.
Alex Mackenzie-Torres
Outstanding and probably my new high end fave restaurant in sf. Yes, the price is high but you are paying for an exquisite selection of wines and food. The wagyu beef was as tender as butter; the tempura sides just superbly light and the desert out of this world. I would completely get back here for more and for another special occasion. This time was more about celebrating our great week and love, next time... Who knows? Well done Keiko!

Absolutely exquisite dinner set in a converted apartment with decor that exudes class and elegance. The restaurant offers a 7-course menu for an extremely reasonable price, especially considering the superior level of execution in the dishes. Of particular note was the cauliflower mousse served in a glass vessel trapping a cloud of cherry blossom smoke, the lobster ravioli hidden beneath a mound of Parmesan foam, and the tempura figs. The wine list is both intimidating and eccentric, though our sommelier was able to guide us to a lovely Hospice de Beaune pinot noir with a fascinating history. Service was exceptional and attentive -- a visit is highly recommended.
