Exceptional. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Every bite was inventive and exquisite, and it’s clear the owner-chefs absolutely love what they’re doing, and bring their creativity and culinary expertise to every element of the experience. They were also very mindful about a food sensitivity I indicated ahead of time and gave legit substitutes, and generally seem to take great care in ingredient selection. I could go on, but suffice it to say, if there were a monthly membership to come back, we’d be their first to sign up!

A really lovely dinner - I was here back in July 2024, and am looking forward to returning soon to try the new menu!
The location can be a bit hard to find, as it’s in/around the Tenderloin and just a small chef’s counter. Everyone is seated along the counter (so I’d recommend coming with just one friend if you want to be able to talk). A big part of the experience is being able to watch the chefs, which are a very sweet couple, prep each dish and explain the story.
We had four courses; salmon sashimi, tofu egg roll, duck, and fried mochi. My favorite were the first two courses. The sauce on the duck was a bit too overpowering for me, and I couldn’t finish the fried mochi (just not a fan in general). However, the chefs clearly have a lot of passion for their craft & overall a great addition to SF!

A truly special experience. The restaurant blends a laid-back vibe with gourmet cuisine that feels both inventive and comforting. The menu focuses on modern takes on classic dishes, and the quality of the locally sourced ingredients really shine through. The best part of the food are the owners' personal stories behind each dish.

This Bondfire dessert changed my life. On par with: eating oysters for the first time (favorite food), and eating chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream (favorite general dessert) for the first time. A bon(d)fire blazed up into glory in my brain and all my senses were heightened for these few minutes. I almost cried when I was close to finishing it. I then prayed in remembrance of this small thing that gave me goosebumps with every bite.
Everyone should go to Ox+Tiger

Came here with my family. One of the best experience. You can tell the owners are passionate about what they are creating. They are creating an experience. We are happy to be part of this journey with them even though just for 1 to 2 hours. They intertwined their personal history with such delicious and multi-layered food. The whole experience is like having dinner with friends who happen to be excellent chefs ( :

A very special experience! You get to see the two owners and chefs cook everything in front of you while they talk about their passions and life stories! The food was phenomenal, very tasty and insanely original. Their menu changes every few months, I’ll be back for sure! 10/10 dining experience!
Incredible restaurant with incredible food, great couple serving with awesome stories for each dish, and nice atmosphere :)

What a great and unforgettable, intimate experience! Very Japanese-feeling setting with such a personal presentation. Great and creative tasting menu at a very reasonable price, that changes seasonally and based on inspiration - we will be back!!

We've dined here four or five times now, each menu has been phenomenal, inventive, completely unique and delicious. We have never had food like this anywhere else and every time we return, we're blown away all over again. We're huge foodies, veteran Worlds Best/Michelin star but also the most incredible street food and everything in between & etcetera. This is a unique combination of cultures and cuisines and techniques, in a very intimate little space, with the most personal service we've had anywhere. What a treat to have Ox + Tiger in our own city.

Loved every dish we had. It was just like dining with fam. A treat to find out about the histories and cultures of the chefs. I was so excited to see that they use asin tibuok! Domo-salamat!
Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate certain dietary restrictions. You can ask for pescatorian version of you don't like meat.
Kid-friendliness: We brought my 13 yo niece and she had a lot of fun.
