Walking down Japantown days after the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco nostalgia starts to…read morekick in. The performances and the parade are no longer there until next year. The unique merchandise for manga , anime, Hello Kitty, and Pokémon by the street vendors are now indoors. What really stands out at the Cherry Blossom is the aromatics of the food. The scent of Yakitori grilling brings back memories. Then there is the sushi and matcha of course for Don Juan de la Matcha. There is one place where you can enjoy the food and drinks of the Cherry Blossom all four seasons at home or at a local park.It's located in Japantown in San Francisco it's called Super Mira Market. On a Spring stroll the week after the Cherry Blossom Festival I walk past Osaka Way in the sunshine and landed on Sutter street inside Super Mira Market. Inside you will see ready to eat bentos along with hella of sushi rolls. You will also find onigiri and some okay shrimp tempura along with chicken kaarage. You can find ten don ( not the connective tissue beef tendon) tempura donburi and the Gyu Don( for Don Juan). They also have raw salmon filets for sale along with fried fish cod and fried oysters. There are desserts available like the mango cheesecake. To warm up they sell Ramen and also the OohDon(Udon). You can wash it down all with a bottle of sake. A great Japanese market to enjoy drinks and food not just during the Cherry Blossom Festival but all four seasons. Going to the annual Cherry Blossom Festival at the Japantown in San Francisco is so "monumental "and attending it annually has become so "sentimental"the food with fresh fish and rice for the sushi is so "fundamental" to eat along with a box of "Bento" Although the Cherry Blossom Festival is over for this year it's "gone "it's okay for "Don Juan " because he just goes to Super Mira and just grabs shrimp tempura , sushi rolls , and "Gyu Don " and some sake and take it home and warm up the "OhhDon ( Udon)"

Plenty of hamachi chunks with seaweed salad, avocado, and edamame beans. I think this is about $12 or $13 if I remember correctly. so good and wallet friendly Sashimi (5/5) I loveeee hamachi (yellow tail) and I always get their sashimi and nigiri here. They have both regular hamachi and also the hamachi toro! The toro is about $18 for 6 or 7 pieces. So much cheaper than what you can get at restaurants. I wanted to do a make your own hand roll night at home and got a variety of sashimi, a small container of ginger and wasabi for $1 each, and a small container of tobiko for $2! Everything came out to about $80 and enough to feed 3 people. They have plenty of rice bowls, sushi rolls, and you can even order catering from them. And since they are a mini market, you can get a variety of Japanese snacks, drinks and ramen! Service is fast and the lady at the cashier is very nice and efficient.

That being said, the freshness, quality, and convenience keep me coming back. Service has always been friendly.

The filling to rice ratio is really generous, and I like that they have this bigger assorted version with three flavors- fishcake, tuna, and kimchi so I could try a bit of everything! Loved the kimchi one a lot. Gotta come back to try the other flavors out. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the market, but they seem to carry a bunch of Korean ingredients that are hard to find at a regular grocery store! Lots of nostalgic snacks, seasonings, I even saw fresh Korean rice cake which I'll definitely be trying out next time.

I walked into the restaurant about 45 minutes before closing time at 9:30 PM and several other diners came in after I was seated. The unsettled weather made the people hungry for dumplings. Bao is warm and woody and serene on the inside, a great counterpoint to the bustle of Valencia at every hour. Upon entering there is a large window looking on to the kitchen prep area where culinary experts are often at work constructing the food diners later enjoy on their plates. Tonight a couple of wizards were in the process of making chicken potstickers. Even being vegetarian, just seeing how the dumplings and other items are made is like seeing secrets being shared. I love it and it sets the vibe for the restaurant. My order consisted of the steamed vegetarian buns and sautéed string beans. The buns come out beautifully presented and taste even better: the bun itself is just slightly sweet and that sweetness adds an amazing dimension to the chopped fresh vegetables inside. Can't tell you what any of these veggies are individually and I don't care, they are so good. Next came the sautéed string beans and the sear on the beans themselves was perfect and smoky and delicious. The crispness of the sautee makes the string beans a lovely pairing with the soft yummy of the steamed buns. Last came the sesame balls as a sweet meal ending. I love donuts and fresh-made sesame balls are similar to a donut hole just with a filling that is actually food and so sweetly tasty. The outer fry was crisp and the insides absolutely perfect. Three dishes, all fantastic, and I walk home happy and thankful to Bao for a great simple meal!

This is slightly more upscale Chinese/dumplings/dim sum than I'm used to (I usually go to Chinatown.)

Pretty good - Sichuan Xiao Long Bao and Shanghai Xiao Long Bao: must-get! - shiu mai and har gow: my must-gets at any dumpling/dim sum place. Interior is polished and clean.

Which was great since I was only on my lunch break. I did notice this location had a lot more options for snacks, drinks and adult beverages which the other location doesn't have. I will definitely come back when I have more time to sit and enjoy my meal
