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 came here for late night dinner - fresh sashimi is 10 out of 10 ?Vegetarian options: I saw some vegetarian options on the menuParking: It’s always plenty of parking around or cross streetKid-friendliness: Yes, big dining room and I saw high chairs for little kids tooWheelchair accessibility: Yes, they have big dining room so wheelchair can move freely and bathroom is also big and it’s ok for wheelchair
Pretty disappointing overall. Food was mediocre and overpriced, drinks were decent, and atmosphere is pretty good. Overall a pretty good spot for a date but I don't plan on eating here again.

We stopped by for a drink on a weekday night; considering it was a weekday, it was pretty busy. The service was a little slow and took quite a bit to get our orders in but once we ordered, the drinks came out pretty quickly. The drinks come in cute/fancy dragon themed cups! And they were very tasty too. I would want to come back to try their foods next time!

We unexpectedly landed on this little gem while visiting SF and right away we were greeted by the whole staff! Amazing service, delicious cocktails and the food was delicious! Definitely a place worth going to!

Went to Dragon Horse for Valentine's Day and you would think it's still Christmas lol they still have Christmas wrapping paper on the walls and lights strung everywhere. Their Valentine' day diner theme only was seen with the paper heart napkins given to us. Next the food, the drinks are WILD... never even imagined you could have a raspberry donut cocktail. The hot plates are all great, where things really take a nose dive is the sushi. The sushi rolls are all rushed and look mangled. It wasn't just ours, but the tables around us were disappointed as well with the quality of the sushi and how they were prepared. The serve was extremely nice and took both roles off of our table because it seemed like a common occurrence that night that sushi was sent back... It's nice that this place is right around the corner from us but it's definitely not somewhere I would be going specifically for sushi. There are a lot of better places for that.
Overall, I loooved the beef tongue skewers and the 5-piece nigiri omakase plate. I thought the rolls overall were okay; the rainbow horse roll's assorted sashimi on top was too stringy. The drinks though were insanely good. They had a special pop up lunar new year cocktail menu and all the drinks were so unique, fun, and delicious! I liked how chill the overall vibe of the place was, and our waiter was also very patient with us since we were there for 3 hours slowly ordering and chatting. He was great!

The food and the sake were both stellar! We had a tough time getting service a couple times but when we got back in touch with them, they were crazy helpful. Really cool vibe inside with nice decor and clean bathrooms. If you like sushi definitely give them a try!

Interior and ambience: 9/10 Food: 6.5/10 Drink: 9/10 Overall: 8/10 Nestled at the intersection of an Izakaya and a speakeasy bar, this establishment's unique concept fills a void in SF's late-night dining scene. Despite my appreciation for the concept, the drinks overshadowed the food. The Paitan noodle earned a 6/10; it was passable, but the soup was overly salty, and the noodles lacked texture--room for improvement here. The vegetable and shrimp tempura, however, deserve a solid 9/10 recommendation. The grilled fish received a 6.5/10 rating. While the taste was satisfactory, the small portion size and abundance of bones left it lacking in my opinion. Popcorn chicken, rated at 6.5/10, showed promise with well-sized, crispy chicken. Yet, it fell short due to blandness--marinating and seasoning before frying could elevate this dish. For a delightful fruity and sweet cocktail experience, I highly recommend tropical ice cream cocktail in the Little Pig Cup, a perfect 10/10, even though the specific name escapes my memory.

I loved blind pig and was so sad that they closed down but was so excited to hear that the same owners opened up dragon horse. The venue itself is super spacious and is a good mix of bar vibes and restaurant vibes. The servers are so sweet and attentive! The drinks are so creative and I love how they incorporate Asian culture in menu! I would definitely bring a group of friends and come back!
