Really creative and interesting food, wonderful service. They don’t rush you at all. It was hard to get a table but very much worth it. Thanks for a lovely evening!

This place truly deserves its star. Every dish we tried was deceptively simple yet layered with complexity and intention. The dashi egg custard tart was one of the best bites I’ve had in a long time; I could have easily eaten a dozen. Exceptional food, attentive service, and an all-around a memorable dinner.

Recently went there for dinner after wanting to go for SO LONG and I am so tempted to just make another reservation to go again!

Everything was absolutely delicious. No notes! Except I wish they also had a bakery so I could just order the dashi egg tart with roe and lapchong brioche anytime I wanted.

Well worth the struggle to get a reservation! Keep trying. Chefs Alan and Sarah are so warm and welcoming and every dish was spectacular.

Excellent food & service in an intimate setting. Loved how fresh the ingredients were. Here was the first time I had bay leaf ice cream & it blew my mind! Wish they sold it in pints.

The dinner was excellent with a wide variety of different dishes and flavors. Each course was packed with seasonal ingredients that were locally sourced. I'm so glad I was able to make a reservation

Sun Moon Studio is a very personal experience - it's a tiny restaurant with four tables and you get to meet all the staff. The food was excellent, my favorite was the mt. lassen trout. I ordered the pairing as well. There were nice surprises like Sake and unusual wines. I've had wine pairings before where the food and wine together blew my mind. In this case both were great but it wasn't a 1+1=3 situation. The service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

Sun Moon Studio was a delightful surprise. The moment we stepped through the curtain we felt special and welcomed. We were late due to severe traffic, but they understood. Each course was a wonderful surprise. Each course excited our taste buds and kept us thinking about the flavor combinations. Thank you for a truly amazing experience.

The tasting menu is worth the splurge, made from the highest quality, carefully sourced ingredients and expertly prepared. The accompaniments to the seafood dishes complimented the flavors perfectly and did not overpower.

Among all my fine dining experiences, Sun Moon Studio is the only one that makes me want to try their menu every single season. Their cuisine carries a sense of home, you can truly taste the care, passion, and dedication they put into selecting their ingredients. The final surprise was incredibly thoughtful. I'm truly grateful that I was able to end 2025 with such a wonderful dinner. Thank you Sun Moon Studio:)

My second visit to Sun Moon in 6 months. One of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Food quality is comparable to most 2 or 3 Michelin Stars restaurants and I have been to all the 3 stars and most of the 2 stars.

Exquisite. Heartfelt. What a lovely and amazing dining experience. I loved everything about it - the chefs, their two lovely staff, the level and quality of the music, the persimmons drying suspended by string, the food! the wines!
