Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup
Tasha H.

This place is such a gem. The food is delicious and our server was super sweet and attentive. There are only a few tables but seems like they do a ton of takeout. Interior is pretty camp - it was fun to dine in! Fish cakes - never had this dish before and I loved it. Fish cakes are very smooth, not as bouncy as the Chinese kind, and the broth is SO GOOD. Tangy and savory. Combo platter - love when restaurant have these so you can try more dishes. Classic beef rendang, beef was very tender, good fried chicken and veg. Laksa - I appreciated that the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the noodles were nice and bouncy. It didn't quite have the fishy flavor bomb I was looking for, but I haven't had indo-style laksa before so not sure if it's just a regional difference. Overall, loved my meal and will be back soon!

Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup

R2K is the latest addition to my list of favorite restaurants in SF. Service, portion sizes, and flavors are all phenomenal! recs: padang platter combo price: ~$30/person tips: service fee included in check - Padang Platter Combo: Just the most satisfying combination of spices, meats, and textures. Comes with beef rendang, fried chicken, egg, crunchy corn + anchovies, and shrimp chips. This portion is substantial and is easily split between two people. - Shrimp Laksa: I was pleasantly shocked when this came out with soup filled to the rim of the bowl. The shrimps were bouncy, and the soup was comforting. I would have liked a bit more shrimp/fish flavor in the broth, but it was still excellent despite the lighter flavor and consistency. Chris, our waiter, was super attentive and patient with us. For a casual dining spot, I felt like I was taken care of at R2K as well as I would be at a swankier restaurant. Would easily come back to try their other dishes!

I got this delivered and it is amazingly authentic! The Padang mixed plate has my faves of ayam goreng AND rendang. Both travelled well and super ENAK! The nasgor has a lovely flavour, unfortunately there wasn't an option to ask how pedas that you want it, but I ordered sambal ijo on the side so that is a good call. Tempeh goreng was still crisp when it reached me, so very satisfied right now.

Padang Platter: beef rendang, turmeric chicken thigh, fried boiled egg, chard, fried anchovy and krupuk

Ever since Berkeley's beloved Jayakarta closed, I've been searching for a truly Indonesian (not Singaporean) restaurant in the Bay Area. RASA RASA Kitchen (R2K) delivers. Located in the Mission District, R2K stands out with its bright mural and warm, welcoming vibe. The owner-chef is incredibly kind and accommodating--he even held a table for us on short notice and thoughtfully explained the dishes. We ordered kerupuk with house sambals, fried tempeh with sambal and kecap manis (delicious and vegan), Javanese-style nasi goreng, a Padang platter with turmeric fried chicken and deeply flavorful rendang, and gado-gado with rich peanut sauce. Everything was very flavorful and quite authentic. The only minor note: the kerupuk and tortilla (used for gado-gado, as a nod to the neighborhood) could have been a bit crunchier. The restaurant is spotless, artfully decorated, and full of character--even the bathroom walls are fun. A true neighborhood gem and a destination for anyone missing Indonesian food. I'll definitely be back.

Pan Fried Noodles

Rasa Rasa sits in a nice location and walking distance to many top rated bars. The place itself is small with few open air, casual type seating. At 18% included gratuity on all bills, there's a lot to expect from this place. The menu and ordering is online and self-serve, with the service being fast and sweet. There is no alcohol on the menu. There are few vegetarian options in each category - appetizers, entrees, and sides but none that look very familiar to the Spark social food truck location meal boxes. Opted to try the vegetarian Gado gado salad which was huge for one person but needed a bit of zest or tang to really hit the spot. The vegetarian mie goreng was delicious and the start of the show - I would recommend this. Overall a nice casual place to meet friends but wishing there were more vegetarian meal plates similar to the food truck location.

Chicken "Soto Kediri" soup
Alyson S.

I am so glad to have discovered this amazing Indonesian restaurant in the city. Rasa Rasa serves comforting dishes including noodles, curries, soups, and famously Soto (traditional Indonesian dish featuring rice in soup). The interior is cozy and the staff and owner are very welcoming. I first visited Rasa on a Wednesday, unbeknownst to me of their midweek special of 50% off soups! I don't know how long the offer will last. However, $9 for a hearty bowl of meat, veggies, and rice in soup is hard to come by these days. I had the Nasi Bakmoy, sweet stir fry chicken and mushroom with rice, fish cake, and egg in broth. Super delicious, I highly recommend! I'll have to come back again to try their other dishes.

Our platters
Nina C.

First time here and we enjoyed our meal. I was the first in my party to arrive and was offered a table without having to wait for the rest of my party to arrive. Casual dining area with QR code ordering. My group of three decided to split two platters so we could try an array of dishes: the Nona rice platter and Padang platter. We upgraded both to include turmeric coconut rice (worth it!). Favorite bites included the turmeric fried chicken, beef Padang, and greens. Everything was flavorful and the dishes complemented each other well. No wait on a Saturday night: a nice spot for a quiet and relaxed dinner. A note about their ordering system: they had a flyer explaining the 18% service charge on all orders, and that tipping was optional. When we checked out it looked like the fee was only 8% so we ended up adding a 15% tip. The actual bill (after checkout, once already paid) did include the 18% charge which was not disclosed at the checkout stage. Listen to the flyer: it's correct. Otherwise you'll double tip.

Wings (6 pcs) them jawns are hella spicy
Daniel Cody R.

on today's segment of trying every Asian ethnicity's food, we go to Indonesia! I'm not gonna lie this spot surprised me. This is neither a good or bad thing lol. First most, this is a very casual, order on your phone with a QR on the table kind of joint. However the service was still very friendly. None of us have had Indonesian food before and little did we know we booked a one way trip to flavortown. Food so good we lowkenuinely locked in. and did not talk to each other. Maybe we were just hella tired, cold and wet. Okay morning after note: this place had no reason to run our pockets like that

Pan Fried Noodles
Raymond Y.

Great decor and loved the benches that made it feel like an Indonesian night market! Came here with another Yelp Elite friend and we ended up splitting a padang platter combo (with upgraded coconut rice) and the pan fried noodles w/ shrimp. I thought the noodles were very solid and tasted like a sweet/savory Indomie...only wish it was a larger portion. Padang platter was a fantastic sampler of so many different ingredients! My favorite was definitely the chicken leg quarter, which was so juicy and tender. I also really liked a spoonful of the coconut rice (definitely worth the $1 upgrade) + beef rendang + gulai greens, all in one bite. The crackers were also the perfect treat! I really loved how many different textures there were in one dish So many other interesting plates that we could've also gotten like the gado gado and nasi bakmoy, but I'll have to come again Do note that there is already an 18% service charge!

Combo platter
Sintu R.

By far, my favorite Indonesian restaurant in bay area. We tried their combo platter which covers most of the appetizers along with gado gado, need rendang. The service was very good as well and the ambience has cozy vibes. Oh btw, their hot ginger tea is amazing.

Chicken Satay (6 skewers) (P)
Ziling M.

This place was somewhat disappointing. The chicken satay skewers had the texture of cardboard, just very dry, and the sauce wasn't anything special either. The noodles were the only good thing we ordered, which says a lot, considering they were basically a turned-up Indomie mi goreng, if you know what I mean. Another thing that felt out of the ordinary was the ordering process. We had to scan a QR code and order online, which is pretty normal these days, but it asked us to pay (with tip) before we even got the food or any service. The server didn't bring us water until after we had already ordered, which felt a bit off.

Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup
Natalie L.

The second we walked in, the manager (?) greeted us with a ton of energy, and it really felt like he was very prideful of the food. He talked to us about the menu and provided updates for us after we ordered, which was really appreciated! What a nice guy. As for the food, the laksa was delicious and the shrimp was perfectly plump. It was enough to feed two of us, but we also got the sambal and crackers, which were honestly the star of the show since we love shrimp crackers. I've never had things to dip it in though! One tasted a lot like bagoong (Filipino shrimp paste), another (green) was very hot, but you first get hit with flavor before the spiciness kicks in, and the third was on the sweeter side. What we did, though, was dip the crackers in the laksa soup. Really recommend doing that! The acid of the soup seems to come alive when it's with fried crackers and tastes a tad bit different than straight sipping it. Glad I found this spot, especially since we were looking into eating at Farmhouse Thai but thought it was waaaay too expensive. Would come back if I'm in the area!

laksa
Crystal T.

This is my first time trying Indonesian food! The service was quick, scanning a QR code to order and pay. I decided to order the sambals + crackers and laksa noodle soup. The sambals came with three flavors: shrimp, tomato, and some sort of lemongrass. All of them were very tasty and flavorful! I also loved eating the laksa, perfect for the rainy day I was having! I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

Are there any Dairy Free options? I saw mention of Peanuts for allergens on the menu, but what about the rest of the top 8 allergens?

Yes, there were several dairy free items on the list. We had tofu tex, which was tofu with a peanut sauce. I believe the chicken satay and the Gado Gado, which is vegan.

She surprised me with a reservation at Ox + Tiger and I was immediately impressed. The restaurant only seats 8 people, making the whole experience super intimate and personal. When Japanese and Filipino flavors come together, you get such a unique fusion cuisine inspired by chef couple Ej and Hatomi. Dinner was more than just a meal it was a 2 to 2.5 hour storytelling experience about their menu creations, how they met, and the grind behind keeping their dream alive. The menu changes monthly, so even if I told you what we had, you probably wouldn't get the same dishes unless you book now lol. It's a 3-course menu with optional add-ons, and definitely unlike any restaurant I've been to before. As a Filipino, I'll admit I can be picky with Filipino-inspired food because we grow up spoiled by our parents' cooking but this? I was genuinely impressed. Think familiar flavors recreated in their own creative and elevated way. Highly recommend.

Situated in a small, 8 seat counter, dinner is intimate with dishes being prepared right in front of you. The menu features three courses, an appetizer, main, and a dessert - with the option for an additional add-on. Our meal featured a focus on fish, in particular mackerel and monkfish. Each of the dishes were deconstructions of familiar concepts such as Caesar salad and a California roll, but enhanced with new flavors. The mackerel was sublime, perfectly charred exterior with a still raw interior. The monkfish was tender, coated in a ginger, wasabi sauce next to crispy sweet rice and avocado. The dessert was by far the most unique, being a miso dashi, mushroom cherry coated coconut ice cream with a tupig-like mochi on the side. The savory, sweet, sour combination completely catches you off guard but becomes increasingly addictive the more you eat. So bold and absolutely memorable. Ox&Tiger takes familiar concepts, breaks them apart, then fuses them back together with a flair of Filipino and Japanese flavors. This results in dishes that are utterly unique and innovative. Additionally, with menus and playlists designed by family, this truly feels like the epitome of a family-run business and a meal cooked with so much care in front of you. This is absolutely worth a visit and an opportunity to try new flavors you've never experienced before.

My son is still looking forward to trying that taiwanese minced pork bowl

I came here at the recommendation of a friend in the neighborhood, and honestly, my thoughts about…read morethe place so far are that the food and experience were average. Everything about the ordering process and the quality of the food itself was good but not great. There was no wow factor or anything that left me feeling extra motivated to return, but I also wouldn't be opposed if I were nearby and craving onigiri. There's a single kiosk in-store to order at, but you can also place an order with the person working the counter if it's not too busy. I wasn't sure what I wanted immediately, so I waited for one of my friends to finish before ordering. I added 1 unagi eel, 1 unagi onigiri, and 1 crab onigiri to my basket and checked out. I have absolutely no idea what's the difference between "unagi eel" and "unagi onigiri", and when I went to pick up my order, the staff member told me my order was two unagi and one crab. However, I was charged $4.50 for the unagi eel and $4.30 for the unagi onigiri, so go figure. I could not detect a difference between the two, and the price of each averaged out to $4.40, so it's whatever. I unwrapped one of the unagi onigiris to eat in-store as we waited for a Zoox to arrive. It was actually pretty difficult to extricate the seaweed and rice ball filling in one piece to consume together, which I presume is because the onigiris are each made-to-order and due to the freshness, the separate ingredients haven't had a chance to marinate and congeal together. As I had not eaten all day, I quickly devoured the onigiris before and after our short ride back to a café where some of our other friends were waiting. The onigiris were, as I mentioned before, pretty standard minus the fact they kind of fell apart. I would say if you like onigiris, then these will get the job done, but they're nothing exceptional, so keep your standards at baseline.

Even before this most recent visit, I'd enjoyed intimate dinners here for its creative, Korean-Thai-inspired menu that always packed an impressive punch of flavor but, dare I say, the brunch might be even better. The steak sandwich was absolutely phenomenal, with the steak seasoned and cooked to perfection and pairing beautifully with the charred onion aioli, plus a side of expertly crisped smashed potatoes that were so addicting. The steamed mussels were sumptuous and packed with umami, and I loved the two large bricks of toasted sourdough focaccia that were perfect for sopping up every last bit of the delicious dashi broth. But the pièce de résistance was the custard French toast, which I can only describe as the love child of bread pudding and tres leches cake as it was crispy on the outside but uber moist on the inside, custardy, and simply divine. Kothai will be deeply missed in the neighborhood, but I'm excited to see what's next for chef/owner Sung Park and will be first in line for whatever future project comes next.
