“Tonight was probably 5th or 6th time we have brought out of town guests to Hazie’s and yet another impeccable meal loved by all - the 4 of us shared the Oaxacan Cheese Fundido, a Caesar Salad, roasted Salmon with risotto, Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak with Chimichurri sauce, fries and addictive flash fried broccolini, and a Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. We had prompt helpful service and the added joy of meeting the chef (Joey Altman) who stopped by the table to introduce himself and check on things personally - so welcoming and easy to talk to. We will definitely be back.“

“Killer casual Japanese curry in the Mission district. The signature curry bowl was a slam dunk (we tried both the pork cutlet and chicken katsu — slight preference for the chicken). It was pretty sweet but the table had five different spices to add in, making it easy to get exactly the level of fire you want.

The portion was generous and since they don’t have a large menu, the food came out quickly. It’s a killer spot for a warm homey meal if you need food and you need it STAT.“

“Our hostess was awesome. She went above service level and worked with multiple bartenders and waitresses to find a place where the six of us could enjoy enjoy our music and food with heat. As you know the nights get cold and our original reservation had us outside but for some reason we were placed at a table without a heat lamp. The hostess did a great job and found us a perfect replacement. Good for her!“

but the guy that welcomes you in, makes recommendations and cracks a little joke-

I don’t know his name but that guy is the biggest difference between The Grove and every other eatery in San Francisco. He really sets the atmosphere that reverberates through the rest of the restaurant.

I hope he’s here every time I am.“

“This was some of the best food I've had in a while. I tried several things. I'm not usually a fan of Brussel sprouts, but I wanted the calamari, so I got the sprouts and Calamari and it was so good! The Calamari is cooked perfectly and the sprouts were very flavorful. For the main dish we had the pork chop and apple sauce and the Bolognese. That pomegranate reduction on the pork chop was heavenly. The highlight however, is the Bolognese. I've never been to a restaurant and believed that the noodles were actually handmade. I've tried Bolognese very often and always been disappointed. I wanted to eat this stuff by the bucket. I can't wait to go back!“

“Ollei is a fantastic neighborhood find that brings a warm, welcoming vibe and top tier Korean comfort food to the bustling Russian Hill area. The atmosphere is cozy and character filled, making it a perfect spot for everything from a casual dinner to a late night craving. The service is consistently praised for being friendly and attentive, with thoughtful touches like hand drawn happy faces on takeout orders that show they truly care about their guests.

Don't miss the Ollei Chicken Wings perfectly crunchy and available with a delicious soy garlic or spicy glaze or the inventive Creamy Ttok & Pasta for a unique fusion twist. Whether you're diving into a hearty bowl of Beef Ramen or sharing a plate of Corn Cheese with friends, Ollei delivers a satisfying, 5-star experience that feels like a warm hug in every bite.“

Overall, taste was great, but the price is a bit high since you don't get that large of portion.“
