Zen Izakaya - San Francisco

Hidden jewel. This place is new and it is delicious AND the portions are huge. I expect this place to be super popular. The power lunch is an excellent value udon soup, veggie tempura ball, and an entire role of your choice! For $17!

Way too overpriced for the taste. I think one of my dishes was premade and heated in a microwave oven. Some part of it was still cold. Ugh

This is a lovely restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. It wasn't crowded during my visit, and their tea is also fantastic.

Focus on quality shines through, especially in the Tempura and its batter. The Ochazuke dishes are truly authentic, and they serve real Wasabi. I'm impressed by the kitchen's versatility in providing such a diverse and high-quality menu! The place is a charming, tidy little spot. The KIMCHI PORK BELLY is a must-try! Overall, it was a delightful culinary experience!

The sushi was excellent, but the warm dishes took over 45 minutes to arrive, and by the time the last two meals were served, everyone else had already finished eating.
