I returned solo to E&O after being there awhile back with my team. That previous experience of sampling several dishes, from interesting green beans to specialty nan, to perfectly cooked and seasoned beef ribs, to all the dumplings was super memorable. Tonight, I ordered a couple of dishes, with intention of ordering a couple more to take out at my family's request. Great service....and not so great food: A plain nan dripping in butter and topped with something green sprinkled all over the top (sent back), a mushroom noodle dish that had five little mushroom pieces, tons of veggies (the tough parts you'd toss), and tons of soy sauce. No distinguishable sauce or spices. Saltiness that brought a thirst for hours. It could have been Chinese food in a can. Then, delicious mushrooms in mushroom dumplings that had not been cooked enough. So, the dumpling casing was chewy, pasty. My family wanted the interesting fries, until I was told they potatoes are frozen, not fresh. Was that the same with the green beans? I didn't get an answer. Just a smile. The service was the best part, with a smile. That's not the reason we dine out. Great service and mediocre food is a losing combination....as in losing this family's desire to return.

I ate here in 2003 and finally I was able to enjoy it again. But this time with the wife and the kids. Crazy how life happens.
Its just as good as I expected it to be. The food looks delicious and is presented well.
We all had a nice time.

Food and atmosphere were excellent no complaints. service not the best. food was brought to the table out of order. a side dish was brought to the table after we were done, needless to say, it was sent back. table next to us was complaining about the same thing. Even the expreso was brought way before the desert .

We tried E&O tonight and ordered 4 dishes. While the starters were strong, the entrees were disappointing. The flavor was extremely one note, and portion sizes could be better. I can cook better entrees than what this restaurant offers. It’s embarrassing for us to ask for salt and pepper from an Asian fusion restaurant because there’s no flavor in their risotto…The snow peas in my dish weren’t even prepped properly, so I had to peel off the inedible string bits myself. Our server wasn’t the most attentive, so I didn’t even have enough water during my meal to wash down all the oil in my noodle dish.
This place has the potential to be so much more, but unfortunately for us, we won’t be back.

Connected with a few colleagues for dinner here. It had been many years since I had been here but I remembered that the service and food was really good. Well they did not disappoint. The service was really great and they took really good care of us. The food was as great as I remembered. It was late so we got a few dishes that we could share. We had the Naan with Minced Lamb, Salt and Pepper Calamari, Minced Chicken with Lettuce cups. Pad Thai (with Shrimp), Roasted Black Cod, and the Corn Fritter Bites. Everything was really great but the Roasted Black Cod, and the Corn Fritter Bites were the stars of the show. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were really good also. Next time I am in SF I will definitely will come back.

Incredible food. Atmosphere was very calm and warm. Servers were very helpful with questions about the menu and the kitchen was very accommodating for the fussy eater in the group. Plenty of choice on the menu, and all high quality options. The Dandan was brilliant. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This was the first time we went to this restaurant . . The food was pretty good, but the attitude of the server was dismal . He was surly and did not offer any advice or information. I am certainly not going back there again. It was an awkward experience, especially since we had taken some guests with us.
The mushroom dumplings were astounding but the rest of the food was above average but not earth shattering. The atmosphere and size of the place were both wonderful, but the service was just okay, lacking accuracy and urgency but very warm and helpful.

Better place in the downtown with good service. Food wise was not not so great with the dishes. Could have better options for the vegitarian!
