    Voilà French Toast Brioche
    Jonathan C.

    Highly recommend reservations as it can get crowded on weekends. Tables are quite close to one another so if you're coming with LOs, there isn't much space for a stroller. A few parking spots in front of the restaurant. Pirate Caribbean Omelette: Pricey, but the crab tastes fresh and overall a solid dish. Potatoes were nice and crispy. Grilled cheese and French onion soup: A bit disappointing depending on your expectations. It's more like a croque madame (less cheese, more ham) and the soup bowl is quite small. French toast brioche: Definitely in the sweet side and better to share as a table. Tasted as expected. Chai latte: Sweet Overall, a solid restaurant, but not worth waiting 30+ min for a table so make sure to make reservations ahead of time.

    Sisterita is a small but mighty brunch spot with a blast of flavor you won't forget. The food, service and ambiance was out of this world. Once you get inside this restaurant, it instantly transports you to a slice in wonderland tea party vibe. The cocktails bring a boost of comfort, everything from a White Russian on the menu to the famous Harries Potter drink. As for the food menu, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose from the fried chicken, eggs Benedict or even my favorite, the Alcatraz Escape omelette! If you're looking for a place to eat with friends who love food, bring them here and thank me later!

    Snagged a table right before the lines started. All the dishes we ordered were great! The brioche in particular was so fluffy yet crispy with caramalized bananas and nuts on top! The tom yum scramble (Alcatraz escape) was really good as well. 100% recommend!

    Popular brunch spot with good food but extremely slow service. It was already very busy at 9am on a Sunday, so I highly recommend making a reservation or you might be waiting in line for a while. The inside is cute but crowded. We got the French onion soup, Neptune eggs benedict, and the waffle & fried chicken. Everything was delicious, especially the fried chicken which was juicy & crispy. Service was friendly and the servers were good about keeping our water and coffee refilled, but it took a long time for someone to take our order and for the food to come out. It didn't seem to be just us, as the couple next to us also waited about 30mins before anyone came to take their order, even though they told the server they were ready as soon as they sat down. I also didn't like that the tables were extremely close to one another.

    My friend wanted to try Sisterita, so I was happy to oblige coming back since my last experience was too. Service and Staff: - I arrived for my reservation, but my friend was running a couple of minutes late. When I checked in, the hostess said I needed to wait until the whole party was present. I waited a little bit to the side, but still in front of the restaurant. Five minutes later, a group of three people came in and mentioned their fourth was going to be a couple of minutes late. The hostess said that was okay and led them in....Not sure what the difference was, but I found this rude and inconsistent. Food and Drinks: - Supreme Burrito: filling, delicious, and flavorful the spinach tortilla was a nice touch - Royale: filling, delicious, and flavorful. The tobiko added a fun bonus to the dish Miscellaneous: - The restaurant isn't located on the best street. If you serve before your reservation time, would recommend waiting up the hill - Parking is available via street parking at the top or bottom of this street (not on the street the restaurant is on) - Seating is a bit tight, so not good for large groups (four is fine)

    More of a 3.5 rating. Restaurant itself is very cute but it is overcrowded with the way the tables are set up. We didn't have a reservation but only waited about 15min to be seated on a weekday. What we ordered: Glazed & Blazed - Eggs Benedicts with a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy. The potatoes were also crisped to perfection. Waffle & Fried Chicken - the menu isn't lying when it says "sweet Belgian waffle" because it is definitely on the sweeter side! The fried chicken thigh was golden crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I could had done without the strawberries because it added more to the sweet factor along with the maple syrup. The spicy Mayo for the chicken was a nice factor that balanced the dish out a bit. Voilà French Toast Brioche - definitely a dish to share. It is thick and filling. The citrus butter balanced out all the sweetness. Drinks were sake based and just okay. Also more on the sweeter side. If you like your food on the sweeter side then this is definitely the perfect brunch spot for you. I would go back to try some of their more savory options. Price point average was mid $20 a plate.

    Man! (This is an expression! It can be any gender.) Let me start over... Sister! Had a reservation on a weekday at 1 PM, arrived early, but they were still running late with a line out the door. I think we waited 25-30 minutes. Finally got seated, but they didn't take our orders until at least 15 minutes later and then gave us water. One server working hard doing everything from taking orders, bringing food, to greeting people. One busser busy wiping tables, getting water and cleaning up. While photogenic, most of the food seems mediocre, something we can get elsewhere in the City. But then I'm excited for downtown/Chinatown businesses doing well. My husband likes his French Onion Soup with lots of cheese and he ordered a side of bacon which he said helped a lot with the soup. I got their Voila French Toast Brioche with these caramelized bananas on top. Side of fried chicken and scrambled eggs. Super cute aesthetics but tasted okay. Way too sweet for me. Maybe others will like it more. The fried chicken and scrambled eggs tasted okay. This place is super cute, and you can take some insta-worthy photos. Sat tightly between two very interesting parties and inadvertently heard things even tho we weren't trying. Cute place but not particularly to our taste, nice we tried it tho, probably won't be back unless one of our out of town friends really wants to go. 3.5 stars. Located on Commercial and Kearny.

    The Best little secret you'll see in the city with very very good food and a touch of French decor . This place . I dined on a Monday lunch time . It's less crowded compared to weekends. I'm glad I did . Ordered Chicken and waffles? With side of mimosa ? (Big serving) I say a very good choice in a very secluded area near china town ., worth coming Great food Presentation and friendly service and a wow bathroom.. Strongly Recommended

    My team took me here to celebrate my birthday. We came at 11 and were seated immediately. The place was so cute and perfect for taking pictures. All of our drinks were delicious! I ordered the New York steak and eggs. I asked for medium rare, but it came out medium, so I had to send it back. The replacement was still not medium rare, but since they already made me another one, I didn't bother sending it back again. My team enjoyed their dishes. Parking is impossible, so don't drive here. There is a parking garage nearby if you do decide to drive. Will definitely come back to try their other items.

    We made a reservation, which I absolutely recommend on the weekends for brunch as the line gets long fast! These servers are kind and welcoming. The food was good, but not amazing, and the price point was a little high.

    Eggs Benedict Traditional

    My son was married at City Hall and they wanted to have brunch at Sisterita! There were so many great things on the menu. It was hard to choose. All the food came out looking and tasting delicious. We were stuffed and loved all of our dishes! We had a large group and I sent an email to book the table ahead of time and they were very accommodating ! We brought sparkling wine and a cake, and although they charge for both, they were amazing in serving all of it. The space is cozy and decorated like you might see in someone's home . The staff was very friendly and the food came out quick. Parking can be challenging, but there is a nearby parking garage, if your car can fit ! It is close to Chinatown so it is very convenient . 100% would recommend !

    I tried Sisterita SF with a few friends on a holiday weekday. We did not make reservations beforehand, and so we waited in line for around 45 minutes before being seated at an outside table. During our meal, we noticed that the line continued to stay long even on a rainy day. After ordering, it took around 30 minutes for our order to come out. We ordered different dishes and drinks, including their dungeness crab fried rice and hot chocolate. The quality of the crab fried rice was delicious! It had a solid flavor with fresh crab and veggies, and I loved the presentation of the fried rice adjacent to the veggies. The portion size was slightly smaller than expected for the price. The hot chocolate was also good, with a rich flavor in a cute holiday cup! Still, it was a bit more expensive than expected.

    The FOOD was absolutely amazing. I came here for a lunch date with my besties and we enjoyed every moment. We got the --- Basil Minced Chicken --- Crab Chicken Fried Rice (my fav by far) --- Volia French Toast Brioche Service was great and attentive.

    Can kids dine here?

    Yes. I took my kids who are preteen and teen but I saw younger children as well. It is a small space so tables are very close together.

    Are reservations required or can you put your name on a list?

    We recommend our guests to make a reservation over the phone (415) 6491919 or open table platform. You also more than welcome to walk-in anytime.

    Wondering if you serve alcohol and if not, could we bring a bottle of champagne at brunch?

    Yes they serve various alcoholic cocktails. You should try their Harry Potter and Bloody Mary (spicy).

    Are they open Christmas?

    Yes, we are open. See you :)

    Do they have restrooms for customers? Are they clean?

    Yes and Yes

    Does the place have brunch cocktails and is brunch served all day?

    Yes

    Since it has outdoor seating, are dogs welcome?

    Yes, we love dogs.

    Do they take walk ins or are reservations required?

    Reservation is only for 6 or more people, otherwise walk ins only.

    What are the vegan options at Sisterita? There aren't any on the menu (except a few of the plain sides). I suppose we could ask them to not put goat cheese on the beet salad, or hold the egg on the avocado toast or the fried rice. That's it? Really?

    Yes "Really." The Menu says it it all. It is not a Vegan restaurant. It is a fusion French place. French cuisine is definitely not vegan. Even though there are many non-animal dishes in French cooking, most use some animal product for… Read more

    I've been trying to call the restaurant to make a reservation and there's no answer. I tried your website, but the site requires a password. How do I make a reservation?

    May I have your contact number? I will contact you as soon as possible or you can call the restaurant right now. We are open :)

    How do you make a reservation?

    You can just call. That's what we did for a party of four.

    Do they offer take-out? If yes, where can I order from? Website, third-party, over the phone etc

    Any clues on how to contact the restaurant? The website is down, the phone number is "not in service". Has Sisterita gone out of business?

    Are there vegan friendly options?

    Yes, we have Vegan option

    Any gluten-free bread, pancakes, hamburger buns, pasta?

    Yea we have gluten free options available. Please inform your server. We neither have pasta nor pancakes.

To get the best optimal experience at Khao Tiew, please remember to put your name on the waitlist and to get there on time when your party is close in queue (if you're not there, you're square, no expectations since they have tons of people waiting). I came here on a Monday night with my friend and I put my name down on the waitlist around 5 pm on the yelp app (heads up you have to be one mile away to be applicable to put your name down). Since I have been here before I know the deal and expected the wait. We were seated around 6:40 pm but it was so worth it in our opinions. The shop itself has a good amount of tables with a nice retro Thai feel from its decor. The servers are very nice and friendly but also the food comes out super quick which is what I personally appreciate as well. Here are some highlights from our absolute feast that we demolished (no food was left behind or forgotten). * Nuer nam tok: The medium rare beef was chewy, had the right amount of spice, and paired well with the crunch of the herbs. The saltiness of the meat ate well with the fresh sides of lettuce and cucumbers. * Crispy shrooms with ground pork: The crispy mushrooms were my favorite last time and the version with ground pork was exceptional. The mushrooms had a nice light batter and the sauce coated your mouth with an umami punch. * Drunken noodles: I love the amount of shrimp and calamari they gave! The noodles itself were coated in a semi sweet sauce that had a delicious soy flavor. * Duck curry: WOW the most tender duck dish I ever had, no notes! * Kaya jam with coconut ice cream: Creamy, fluffy, and a great way to end a meal. This dish is so hard to explain in words, you have to get it. Overall, amazing spot, amazing find, would wait 2 hours again for a third time :)

    Finally decided to try this hyped-up restaurant that always seems to have a line out the door. I…read morecame around 6pm on a weekday and still ended up waiting about 30 minutes to be seated. The restaurant definitely leans toward upscale Thai cuisine, and the pricing reflects that as well but that's typical of SF restaurants. My favorite dish of the night was the Khao Pad Mun Nuer with Soy Cured Egg Yolk. I requested the beef to be cooked medium instead of medium rare, and it came out perfectly. The rice was rich and coated in beef fat, while the beef itself tasted incredibly buttery, almost like wagyu. It was easily the standout dish of the meal. The rest of the dishes, unfortunately, felt rather lackluster in comparison. We also tried the Khao Soi and the Tom Yum Seafood Hotpot, but both were surprisingly lacking in flavor, which felt atypical for Thai food. That said, the spice level was accurate. We ordered the soup medium spicy, and it definitely delivered the heat, which I appreciated. Overall, I don't personally think the food is worth the current wait and hype, but if the crowds die down, I'd come back specifically for the beef fried rice dish.

Both are rum-based and had a really nice kick, especially the Soi Ari with the pandan in the aftertaste (which we found super refreshing). Food we ordered were the Nam Tok Beans, the Pad Khee Mao, and the rabbit curry. Both of us love spice so the Nam Tok Beans blew us away! Did not expect that kind of packed flavor at all but it makes a seemingly ordinary bean dish so much more exciting. The noodles were cooked perfectly and made a great in between to the rabbit curry. Which speaking of, oh my god??? SUPER tender and fall off-the-bone. Rabbit can be a hard dish to put on for people who have never tried it, but I really appreciate that it's not as bone-y as other rabbit dishes I've had in the past. It really was like chicken but softer. Wow wow wow. Huge shoutout to our bartender for giving us extra birthday shots on the house. Never had Amaro before tonight but it was delicious. Did not get his name unfortunately but he's fantastic! The reason I give 4 stars despite the great experience was because I noticed less urgency from the host and the servers in terms of getting stuff out. Doesn't help that the place is smaller and more expensive for a Michelin star establishment. Sitting by the bar made a huge difference for us since we had a great experience with our bartender, but I have a feeling that those at regular tables that night might've lost patience with the wait times for certain dishes. TLDR: if you love spicy Thai food, have the money to spend, and aren't in a rush, this place is worth checking out.

It would have been nice to have had a few more vegetables thrown in, especially the broccoli as I counted just a couple of pieces.

Spiced well and very filling. We didn't expect the pork to be cut so large and mixed into the rice, but it was very tender and easy to still eat. We would've expected the pork to be sliced maybe in half or fourths to make the dish feel like a "pork fried rice" than a fried rice + pork mix, but it still worked well and if you love pork, this will definitely be your fix! 5/5 - Pad Thai - We thought the restaurant nailed this classic noodle dish. Filling portions and did not overcook their noodles. You can taste each component of the dish, which speaks to everything not being under or overcooked.
