• Japanese Speciality • San Mateo
Booked 7 times today
Always friendly and welcoming- only downside (and also an environmental upside)- digital menus, although they have paper ones by request. Such a friendly place, we always feel welcome- the charcoal morsels were off the hook good, and such a wonderful staff!

• Japanese Speciality • SOMA
Booked 41 times today
My partner and I celebrated a belated 3rd anniversary here which was also the 3rd time we’d been. Avery was an amazing server and host and made the experience that much more fun. All of his recommendations were fantastic. Brooklyn was sweet to humor us with our barrage of questions at the counter. We love Niku and look forward to returning!

€€€€
• Japanese Speciality • SOMA
Twelve floors up at Hyatt Place in SOMA, KAIYŌ Rooftop is an open-air bar for Nikkei-inspired cocktails, shareable plates, and skyline views toward Oracle Park. Heaters and wind shields keep the tropical-feeling terrace usable after sunset.
