“We absolutely loved our dinner at Liholiho Yacht Club — everything from the vibe to the flavors was on point. We started with a couple of appetizers that set the tone right away: bold, fresh, and packed with unique flavor combinations. The pork ribs were a total standout — perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweet and savory, and the fried rice that came with them was rich, flavorful, and satisfying on its own.
But the real star of the night was dessert — the Baked Hawaii. Not only was it beautifully presented, but it was also hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. A creative twist on a classic, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt fun, vibrant, and effortlessly cool. We’ll absolutely be coming back next time we’re in SF! Highly recommend this spot — a true gem.”

“Authentic Italian bakery. 1 product, foccacia, done to perfection. My Italian grandpa lived in North Beach and brought it to Sunday dinners every week. Now, generations later, a stop at Liguria is mandatory. But get there early, or you will be disappointed. 5 star best foccacia ever.”

“After years of walking past the always-crowded HK Lounge Bistro on Folsom Street, I finally made it—and it was worth the wait.

The restaurant opens at 10 a.m., but I arrived at 9:50. Even though I was a little early, they kindly welcomed me in and let me take a seat. That small gesture already made me feel at home.

The atmosphere inside is warm, cozy, and charmingly chic. It’s not a large place, but it radiates a sense of comfort and familiarity—as if I had stepped into someone’s welcoming home, ready to enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal.

Though I hadn’t tasted the food yet, I knew I would love it. Everything about the experience—the ambiance, the hospitality, the anticipation—made it feel like a moment straight out of an epic. A quiet, modern-day victory.

Without a doubt, 5 stars. Thank you, HK Lounge Bistro, for making my long-awaited visit feel so special.”
