We decided to share a mimosa flight, spring rolls, and ahi scoops. Even though it wasn't brunch, they still allowed us to order a brunch flight, and they were so polite and helpful throughout 4.8/5. The inside is tiny, but quite stunning, clean, and gives a lot of opportunities for insta-worthy pics 4.9/5, I only wish there had been an actual photo wall. Now to the food. The crispy spring rolls were cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. The clear noodles and veggies were so yummy. I asked for soy sauce because that's what I prefer over sweet sauce, but honestly they needed nothing 4.8/5. The ahi scoops had the best seaweed salad on it that I have EVER had, the wasabi cream on top was the show stopper, and I don't even like wasabi 5/5. We shared the flight and was more than tipsy from two drinks each, flavors on point champagne delicious 5/5. Overall

The steamed pork buns had soft buns and the pork belly was nice and rich, but not too rich.

The food came out in a good time and the service was nice and quick (but not too quick). When I come back to the area, I would easily come back here!

Finally have chance to visit and try this restaurant. I was not planning to stop by but when I…read morepassed the the restaurant and lunch time , I decided to stop by. This restaurant serves Asian fusion dishes and it is not that large and bright. The concept kind of like fast food style where you order and pay first. It was full when we arrived and we had to wait. You cannot get the table until you ordered. You order at cashier and they will get you a table after you paid. We ordered bulgogi burrito, bsnh mi, curry udon with fried chicken , and ginger chicken jook. Our order was ready pretty quickly. I love the jook. It is korean style chicken porridge. Combine it with chine donut is great. Curry udon is yummy. It like malaysia laksa or thai red curry meet japanese udon. The soup is not yoo heavy and the fried chicken was yummy. Banh mi is kind of same as what you get from vietnamese banh mi shop. Burrito is ok but not special except this one come with bulgogi as the protein. Thus on is Mexican food meet Korean. Overall it was a nice lunch with my family. Will visit again when I am at neighborhood to try other dishes.

Seemed like a…read moregood idea since while there was plenty of tables, all were occupied and people were definitely doing work there so would not be freeing up anytime soon. By the time I got home, I realized they gave me the wrong sandwich. Ordered the Asian Cuban, but was given the wooly pig instead. Side salad was good, the dressing was tasty and the salad was fresh. Despite not being what I wanted, the sandwich was good. Pulled pork had an excellent flavor and was tender and juicy. There was pieces of pork belly in the sandwich which kinda messed with it since they were a bit dry and tough. The bun was a standout, very soft and buttery. Basically melted in your mouth. Overall: 4.0/5

We ordered the garlic green beans which were delicious and properly seasoned, chicken karaage which the pieces were incredibly small, over cooked and salty. Poke salad which was just disappointing and katsu with curry. The katsu was cooked properly but just didn't have much flavor & the curry wasn't more than just brown gravy unfortunately. Was really hoping to enjoy this place since I'm finding myself in the part of town a lot these days. The hunt for a decent asian fusion restaurant is still ongoing

The garlic green beans were really good and probably the only dish I'd recommend. We also tried the veggie rolls, which were just okay--pretty mediocre. My fried rice looked great and had a nice mix of veggies, shimp and chicken, but unfortunately it was very bland and really lacking seasoning. The chicken was also quite dry, which made the dish pretty disappointing. On a positive note, the service and atmosphere were both good. Overall though, the food didn't impress me enough to come back anytime soon.

Hopefully you never end up in the hospital but if you do, Saucy Asian is right in the neighborhood so whatever you order gets here quickly right off the grill. Self-described as "flavor mashups served with Korean style and a California kick in the buds," I would order their Saucy Asian Poke bowl ($17). With rice, greens, assorted fish and kimchi, it was a welcome and delicious meal that hit the spot with protein, fresh salad and slaw. As a self-described saucy Asian myself, I endorse this spot.

Because it was delivered, the bowl didn't taste as fresh as I imagine it would dining in, which definitely impacted the overall flavor. The spice level was also pretty mild for something labeled "spicy poke," so I ended up adding my own hot sauce to give it a bit more heat. On the positive side, I did like the portion size. It's not overly large, which makes it a good option for a quick, lighter meal without feeling too heavy.

On both of our visits, Chef Azalina served each dish and explained the story behind it and how she came up with her own version. Every dish is beautifully plated, and the tasting menu has a thoughtful progression. One thing to note - due to the location in the middle of the Tenderloin, you should take a rideshare or very carefully plot your route if walking. We actually had a pleasant walk home after dinner, but we are very familiar with the area.

But after giving it a day, maybe it was just an off day for the restaurant- hence the bump up to 3 stars. We made a res thru open table. We arrived and said our reservation name, to which they said they already seated that table (even tho I had a confirmation email), so they told us to wait. Then a group of 4 walked up and got seated immediately (before us) and they got the only open table in the shade. A few minutes later we got seated in the sun, that's fine. There were only 2 plates and two cups at the table and when we asked for 2 more the waitress said "we're currently out" so we had to share. It was awkward and unprofessional. When we asked to order one more dish, we asked if we could get 2 more plates and cups, which they finally had available so we were able to each have our own. While the food was good, it's not worth the experience, so I probably will not be back.

Honestly, I've never heard of this place. But we were looking for a bar to grab some drinks before…read moreour dinner at nearby R&G Lounge and AI recommended this place for the great view of Coit tower. At first we thought maybe the place had closed because the entrance was locked and there were no informational signs on how to actually enter. We started to leave but I decided to try the nondescript callbox. I don't think the reception even said anything, just buzzed the door opened. We came on a very slow Sunday, so maybe during other times the door is unlocked or they have someone in the lobby, not sure. Anyways, we take the elevator upstairs and enter a nice, upscale restaurant and bar. As mentioned, it was a super slow Sunday, so the place was completely empty except for a private party in the lounge area. We told the hostess we're just going to grab some drinks and headed to the bar. The bartender instead told us we should take the table near the window to get a nice view. So we did. And that's what the AI was talking about. At the end of the bar is a high top table for about 8 people that has a great view of San Francisco, in particular Coit tower. We order some drinks, no food since we're having dinner soon. Drinks were solid. The drinks were actually pretty reasonably priced. Given the upscale nature of the restaurant I would have thought most of the cocktails would have been more than $20 but I think all our drinks were less than $20 except my Black Manhattan. Because it was a super slow World Cup Sunday we essentially had the place to ourselves and it was a great hangout spot for some drinks before R&G Longe crab feast. Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a drink and checking out the view. I'll try to comeback for dinner too if I'm in the mood for a more refined Chinese dinner.

Visited Empress by Boon over the weekend to celebrate my husband + father in law birthday but…read moreoverall I was not impressed by the food or service at all. Parking is either on the streets or garage nearby. We arrived to our reservation at 6pm. You go up the elevator to the 6th floor for check in. We checked in with the host and asked if they had a high chair or booster since we were seated in the booth but unfortunately they didn't. It's not a kid friendly restaurant just FYI. We all had to order the $118 prefix menus and we ordered the vegetarian fried rice for my daughter. Every dish was just okay. Nothing special about it and the portions are very small. I expected dessert to be included for $118 but nope! Roasted Black Cod with scallion oil, egg whites and cloud ear mushrooms was probably the best out of all the dishes. It was unfortunate that the boba drink also was not available. The interior was nice and service was overall decent though. I just don't think I would justify paying $118 for a prefix menu where all the dishes were pretty small portion for that price in my opinion.
