“One of my favorite SF restaurant. Some authentic Japanese dishes and some more modern ones. Overall everything is very solid and ranges from perfectly executed sashimi with clean flavours and fun skewers to comfort brothy bites. The restaurant is also very beautiful with a charming patio and an main room that transports you to Japan without being gimmicky.Order the whole menu! Everything is delicious.“
“Their selection is great. It’s one of the few sushi places where they have makimono that emphasizes fish over rice + other fillings (not that I don’t also love the standard American sushi options, but it’s nice to have a leaner, simpler option).The veggie side dishes are also amazing - the eggplant is charred and juicy but not drowning terribly in oil, and okra is also really good.They also do delivery, which makes it a great casual option.“
“came for happy hour, if you’re looking for don or ramen they have a lot to choose from. we were looking at smaller plates, everything was super delicious and fresh. calamari wasn’t overcooked, the scallops were so well dressed with a vinaigrette and fresh micro greens, pesto udon was a bit strong and greasy so i’d skip next time, and the kabocha croquette was sweet and battered fried.“
“Came here on a Tuesday night with my coworkers without a reservation. Great for large groups and it was walking distance from the grand Hyatt on Stockton. Very walkable and didn't feel dangerous at night. We had 12 people total. Food was good. Overall less than 800 for 12 people which is not bad. They had no issues with separating the alcohol bill for each person.“
“We tried the combo skewers, millionaire green bacon, and salted egg kombucha. Everything was tasty! It was pretty busy on a Friday night. There was a wait by 6:30pm, but food service was quick. They don’t serve alcohol currently, but you can BYOB for a small fee.“
“I been there last week with my family. It were our first time, and i was very impressed with the food quality decor and service. Our server was friendly and informative. She guided us through the menu and her recommendations were spot on! Great value as well. A hidden gem! Very glad i came here.“
“This is my new favorite restaurant in SF! The food was delicious and service was great! I personally recommend the Spicy Garlic Miso broth for your hot pot. All of the food was very fresh and tasty. The all you can eat is a very good deal and I was soo full when I left. The waitstaff was super helpful with guiding me through the menu, as this was my first time doing Shabu. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant - it was very relaxing and cheerful. All of the cat decorations are very cute! The service was very quick, even though the restaurant was full when I arrived. I felt prioritized by my server and was never left waiting for food or drink. The staff were all so friendly and it seems like they have built a great community there! I will absolutely be coming back here and recommending Jin Pot to all of my friends. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic Shabu experience and great service/hospitality from the staff. If it was possible I would rate 6 stars!“
“We made a reservation which cost $10 but we didn't make it in time so we missed our reservation but we were still able to be seated quickly. They were just two of us. On a Friday night..The vegan ramen was delicious and the rice pudding was as well.“
“Best chicken I've ever tasted must get the fried chicken and gyoza appetizer that comes yum yum sauce?? I had a beef short rib and teriyaki salmon bento box. The other two got the millionaire tonkotsu and the miso soup. The only reason I took one star out for the atmosphere was because the music was too loud where we were sitting.“
“Food was delicious and interesting. I got a soup that had more of a curry broth, than a normal ramen broth, which was a nice change (they also have regular broths available.). Servings were a bit too large, I would have liked to have tried more dishes, but I was stuffed!“
“Kio - a nice spot! Super easy going vibe. Great service. Some tasty izekaya selections to meet all and any beer snacking needs one might have. On my visit - tried the soft shell crab sando and the okonomiyaki. The sandwich was super tasty, okonomiyaki was delicious but not my preferred style. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the extensive menu.“
“New favorite ramen spot! We loved the signature soy sauce tori paitan - very rich soy sauce and black garlic base, and the slow braised chicken leg was so tender. My personal fav was the shio paitan - what’s better than a rare-find bowl of rich creamy chicken broth on a rainy evening! Plus very efficient service.“
“?full stars for an amazing happy hour experience?I cant believe this spot has open tables when we came in at 530 to catch their happy hour.Everything was absolutely delicious, my favorite was the crab sunomono and the wagyu skewer. The pork kimchi and gyozas were also very tasty.The dishes that I thought were good but nothing to write home about were the fried chicken skin and agedashi tofu.Service was spectacular and the music and overall vibe was great. 10/10 will come again!For 3 people we paid $188 with tip, which included 2 cocktails.Vegetarian options: There are some veggie dishes on the menu, nuts it's predominantly meat based.“
“This is the only place in SF that has Gluten Free Ramen. The food was swell, and the service and ambiance were great! We dropped by before a movie at the Kabuki, and it was kinda dead. By the time we left, it was packed. We'll definitely be going back!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to gluten free dining. We were thrilled!“
“Nomu Skewers near Union Square is a hidden gem that transports you straight to Tokyo. From the fresh sushi to the mouthwatering Kushiyaki, every bite is a culinary delight. Don't miss their Tsukune with raw egg yolk dip or the lobster tail skewers. With impeccable service and a cozy ambiance, this modern Izakaya-style restaurant is a must-visit in San Francisco.“
“I basically ordered everything on the menu. It was great food, amazing even. I wouldn't justify the 2 hour wait though, especially since we were first in line. Being told to come back in 2 hours would've been appreciated. Ambiance was great for a small shop however the Service was mediocre. The only reason for the high rating is just for the amazing food. Literally anything else would've helped give it a 5 but I would rather take my Japanese cravings elsewhere“
“I actually don't care for their tonkotsu ramen...way too greasy. The chicken broth is much better. That said, despite "ramen" in their name, the yakitori is what steals the show. Love them all! The waitress takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond. Tip her extra!“
“The veggie miso ramen has changed recipes and is not the same to the previous ownership. Devastated that I didn’t know the last time I had it would have been my last forever. I hope the new ownership does well here. But my search for my go to ramen spot sadly is beginning after tonight’s meal.Broth wasn’t hot enough. The entire dish tasted over salted. Positives: the new set up felt refreshing. The service was polite and welcoming.“
“Very good quality sushi and Ramen. Living in the Richmond area, we stumble across this sushi place just by chance.Really enjoyed the flavours of the ramen that we had.The sushi rolls were also quite impressive.Overall, we had a good experience here.“
“Unfortunately, our first dish, bacon wrapped scallops were not great. I should've said something, however service was not always attentive. The bacon was all fat and inedible to me. I was very surprised. You were also out of a lot of items/fish we ordered and we weren't promptly told. It would've been nice if the staff had quickly suggested a good substitute. You did bring one item on the house, which we appreciated.“
“MY FAVORITE go-to in my neighborhood, I embarrassingly eat HERE at LEAST once a week. Definitely a quality over quantity spot. Ramen isn’t some ridiculous HUGE gut bomb, BUT it IS rich satiating fare. EVERYTHING on the menu is DELICIOUS, be sure to hit it at an off time or expect a wait. EVERYONE is well aware of how GOOD IT IS.“
“I can't believe I haven't been to this place in about a decade! That's only a testament to the fact that we have so much great food in the city and not a reflection upon this restaurant because it's still fantastic. A great mix of food to share, including raw bar, yakitori, salads and vegetables, and ramen. Tried a little bit of almost everything but sadly our eyes were bigger than our mouths. We'll just have to come back again soon!“
“Insanely good, cannot recommend enough! The pumpkin sushi was delicious, and shredded tofu was a great addition to rolls. Peppermint tea was great and freshVegetarian options: All veg!Dietary restrictions: Completely veg!Parking: 2 hour parking (free) and paid hourly parkingKid-friendliness: Kid friendly, just a little loudWheelchair accessibility: Easy parking and entry“
