Phenomenal hospitality, food and drinks from Derrick and Vicky for my 40-person private event! What a San Francisco GEM. The wines and cocktails were excellent, the sushi delicious and fresh, and our community delighted in finding this local neighborhood winner. I will be back to try the ube cocktail and the karaoke room next time. So glad I found this place! read more

Grabbed a quick lunch of hamachi with jalapeno and a spicy tuna hand roll. Both were good, with the hamachi being served with a light ponzu sauce and some greens. The tuna could have been spicier but it was still very good. Cool decor and a very interesting menu. Will stop back next time I'm at the Mascone. read more

Came here to grab a bite with a dear friend after work and had a great experience. I would highly recommend the nigiri omakase. The size of the fish was not large and over bearing. They take the proper care to slice and prepare their nigiri with care and it shows. I also appreciated identifiers such as small pieces of tomato and cucumber to help us identify differences between similar fish. When she dropped the omakase dish she took the time to point to each fish and tell us exactly what it was in english and Japanese. MANY places forget to do this. They did take a quite a while to prepare each dish but given the great company and conversation I was having I didn't notice too too much. I just wouldn't say this is a quick place to eat unless you try maybe the skewers and apps. All things considered, they have a ton of seating. There's booth at the sushi bar side and a full dining room. This has def earned a spot in my sushi rotation list Thanks for the hospitality, good food, and great service read more

We went pretty close to closing but were treated so well by the owner/bartender! I RAN to the restaurant when I found out the cocktails are different from his selection bar at the Blind Pig. we got his avocado gin drink, the unique blue cheese Toki drink, and the tomato jalapeño and thought they were excellent. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of his menu!!!!! So excited to live close to this restaurant!!!! read more

Went to have dinner with my wife and my mom to Dragon Horse. A place that I have been so many times. Great food as always and the drinks are as usual very refreshing.

One of the few restaurants that are opened late in this part of SF until 11pm! Went there on a Sunday night at 930pm, and was immediately seated with food that came quickly. If you're looking for a late night bite and not concerned about spending 30+ for a meal, definitely consider here. Otherwise, its a pretty typical Americanized Japanese restaurant with a higher than average price tag which is expected in SF. The sushi rolls are the best bang for your bucks if you're looking to be full and not spend too much! Long rolls and plenty of toppings. The sushi are all decent quality which is expected given the high price tag of 5+ dollars per piece. The premium otoro was amazing! For nigiri, also recommend the salmon belly, scallop, and ikura. The medium chutoro was also amazing if you dont want to pay for the premium price tag. The squid is a bit tough and overly salty. The chicken skewer is definitely less juicy than those you get in a real Japanese izakaya. Still, all plenty tasty especially given they're open late in the night. The atmosphere was clean and not crowded on a sunday night. You shouldn't need to wait for a seat on most nights. read more

Visited for dinner with a friend mid week and was happy with the atmosphere, service and food. The space was decorated really nicely and the prices were reasonable for the city. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and attentive. The fish was fresh and the beef skewers were tender. I would visit again next time I am in the city and in the area. read more

Really cool bar with an EXCELLENT bartender. Came on a slow Wednesday night for a quick drink and was extremely surprised at the quantity and quality of drinks here. We decided to be interesting and got the tomato jalapeño which wasted like a cold hotpot in a glass, and the onion cream cheese cocktail that tasted like a sour cream and onion chip. I know these sound kind of bad but honestly all these drinks delivered on flavor and were perfectly balanced making each a delicious and unique experience. I'd highly recommend stopping in and checking out the works if you're interested in craft cocktails. --- Sweet: delicious cocktails! Interesting flavors to say the least Bitter: food service a bit slow read more

My friend had a daytime baby shower here. The place is quite large and there is even a karaoke machine here. We had the catered food but was surprised to find that all the food was quite cold. I guess they must have prepared the food way ahead of time. I thought the food was decent flavor wise - fried rice, vegetables, sushi, etc. but everything was so cold! read more

I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain -- "Purple Rain", Prince After a stellar Bishop Briggs concert, we all needed some late night drinks and good and Dragon Horse fit the bill. Solid sake and drinks list, the food was very good, service friendly, and we sat in the Karaoke room with a couple of other small groups. They urged me to perform so "Purple Rain" was what I belted out! :-) My first time singing my favorite song with a crowd. I'm not sure I improved the ambiance ;-) But it was a fun stop! Parking was easy to find on street. We enjoyed everything we ate and drink. Highly recommended late night stop! read more

I was out with a group looking for an impromptu dinner out nearby. We found this place on Yelp, hiding behind some road construction amongst tons of apartment buildings in the neighborhood. Honestly, when we found the front door we thought it might be closed because it was not busy and had kind of a dark, moody industrial vibe. Which I'm here for btw, a bit like being on the main ship in the Matrix. Oh right, I think it actually shares a dining room with the business next door. Anyway, a couple of us were not drinking that night and asked for mocktails. Got the "Strawberry tea" one which was great. Our order included a couple rolls and some nigiri, and all was great, with the salmon belly the top winner. Perhaps no surprise there. Would absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

My work team reserved a large table in Dragon Horse's back room and shared an assortment of appetizers and rolls. Overall- subpar food in an old restaurant...much left to be desired. - chicken karaage, shrimp tempura, agedashi tofu: didn't enjoy the breading/coating on any of these. The agedashi tofu didn't taste silky at all. - vegetable tempura: not great coating on these either, and strange to see most of this be bell peppers. - dragon horse roll: this was decent - crazy spider roll: didn't care for this one read more

Vickie and Derrick were so friendly and attentive. We rented the large dining room for a birthday. They had the tables set up and all of our pre ordered food items on point. The karaoke was fun. My favorite dishes were the pork belly and beef tongue skewers. Mushroom California Roll was decent too, the breading of the mushrooms had a nice crunch. The party wings were disappointing because the drums were small. Had a special drink menu. I had 2. A flaming Dragon & a high ball. Both drinks were just ok. They both were really sour. The Flaming dragon didn't have much cocktail and they added ice to fill up the cup. I would throw another party here because of the service and the space. I'll be back. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for Valentine's Day dinner. First, keep in mind that there is only street parking in this area and it isn't a place I'd feel comfortable walking alone at night. The food is delicious but the area is undesirable to visit. The ambiance inside the restaurant is very nice and everyone who served us was so friendly. My boyfriend and I were seated in a booth and the napkins were themed for the occasion. I ordered a salmon nigiri and the crazy spider roll. My boyfriend ordered the zucchini skewers, beef skewers, and gyoza. The salmon nigiri was very fresh and even my boyfriend who doesn't like raw fish enjoyed the bite he took. The crazy spider roll was amazing and I'm sad I didn't take a photo of it. Spider rolls are one of my favorite rolls to order and this one did not disappoint. Our friends who also had their Valentine's dinner here ordered it too and loved it. My boyfriend loved all of his food, although he felt that the beef skewers' portion size was small for its price. He especially enjoyed the zucchini and said he'd be happy with just a big plate of that for dinner. At the end of the dinner, one of the servers gave us heart shaped lollipops for Valentine's Day which I thought was so sweet. Overall such a fun experience! read more

I love that they continue to build their menu and have more to offer- everything was delicious! Server was very attentive and checked in on us often. We got our food and drinks at a reasonable time.

From the ambiance to the cocktails, I enjoyed my whole experience at Dragon Horse! I came with a group of friends Saturday night around 9 pm. They had made a reservation for our party of 6, but it wasn't really needed as the place was much emptier than I expected. I had food earlier, so I was here mainly for the drinks. I tried two cocktails, both of which blew my mind with how good they were. I started with the Kouma ($16), with gin, cucumber, shochu, avocado, shiso leaf, peppermint tea, lemon, and ginger. It was a very light and refreshing drink. Next I got the Guava Thyme ($16), which had gin, guava, avocado pit, rosa, lemon, apple, and egg white. The presentation for this one was really fun, and the drink was fruity and tasty. I couldn't really taste the alcohol in either drink, which makes them quite dangerous... I didn't try the food here, but they have a good selection on their menu featuring sushi, skewers, and various hot dishes like rice dowls and fried foods. They started the karaoke system around 9 pm, so some folks started putting in songs and singing from their table. This was a pleasant surprise to me, since I didn't realize they offered karaoke here (it seems like they do so most nights after 9 pm). I happily joined in for a few songs. The karaoke system they use is Chinese, so it doesn't have all of the songs, but it's got a decent selection. Would definitely come back for the karaoke and cocktails! read more

Had a great dinner here. The place was very chill when we showed up around happy hour. Service was great even though there was only person working the tables he did an amazing job keeping up with everything and making the drinks. I had been wanting to try this place since I learned they were associated with blind pig since I loved the drinks there. This place also has fantastic insanely creative cocktails with ingredients that I wouldnt have ever thought about being in a drink but the flavor combinations are amazing and delicious. The bites were also pretty solid! It was still happy hour when we went so we got to try some items from that menu as well. Overall we loved our experience, service and overall vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Came to grab takeout and ordered the Unagi Don which is advertised to come with sushi rice, avocado, omelette and ikura but really it was such a small portion of unagi with pickled radish and seaweed salad which for me is a much lesser combination. The unagi was solid but the rice was too hard and felt like it was in the fridge. I don't think it was worth the price so I'll be looking for takeout elsewhere next time. read more

I have been here many times, organizing events in their back room. The owner is super nice, very accommodating for our groups. The food is excellent and the vibes are amazing. Karaoke and sushi and good drinks are what you're gonna get here! read more

Amazing sushi, but service was VERY slow and inattentive. 5 star if service was better.

Sushi was below average, especially in comparison to other restaurants in the area. The other foods were average. The fried foods had wet batter in the center so it was really off putting and a bit slimy. The cocktails are creative, but there isn't a big selection. The service was extremely slow. read more

Service very nice but tbh I don't understand how this place has such high ratings because the food was pretty mid :/ We ordered veggie gyoza (those were pretty good), edamame, orange chicken skewers (needed more flavor), and a spider roll (also mid). Ambiance was nice and clean. read more

Visited on a Saturday around 10pm, only a few guests seated with plenty of room, easy to walk in. They do have a private room with karaoke which had a party, so that space seems more reservation based. Drink: T.P. Gimlet - good, light and refreshing, slightly tart and sweet with a savory finish, very well balanced, didn't pick up much apple or banana in flavor mostly lime and citrus Service was good, friendly and prompt. Was served water upon being seated, the server and bartender checked in regularly and the check came quickly when requested. Overall a nice spot to grab a cocktail, the menu was pretty unique, would come back to try more. Food looked pretty good as well but didn't get to try any on this occasion. read more

My group of friends have been to this location a few times in the past under a different name. The only thing difference is that I've noticed is they've added ceiling decorations. On our recent visit we made a reservation at 6:30pm on a Saturday for 5. This was not necessary because the whole place was pretty much empty and I'm not sure why. The staffs were friendly and attentive. They have so many options for cocktails with some having unusual ingredients such as the Onion Cream Cheese - charred onion with strawberry cream cheese and brandy. Some people may like it and some people may not. I personally didn't like it but another person in my group did. I also got to try the Wasabi Bean drink which was better but found it light in alcohol. The wasabi didn't hit me as hard as I thought. The Smoke Unami drink was strong though but the "smoke" effect was underwhelming. Guava Thyme was my favorite but also found it light. At $16 each I was hoping for a bit more alcohol. For food we ordered a bunch to share. The baby back ribs normally come in 4 pcs but they were able to accommodate us and made it 5 pcs. The nigiris here tasted fresh and I would come back for it. Our table did order 6 x salmon belly nigiris and an 8pcs nigiri omakase. I'm a bit disappointed that in one of the 8pcs was another salmon belly. This was chef's choice but I guess there was more than 1 chef who didn't pay attention. The fried food was just okay. Nothing really stood out for me. I'll stick to the nigiris. read more

This place was located kinda not near anything interesting but to my surprise the food was actually very delicious! We were a big party and ordered a little bit of everything to try. My favorites were probably the chicken wings hands down, they were crispy but not too battered. The nigiris with salmon belly also were bomb. Did not enjoy the beef tongue skewers they were chewy. The pork belly was good. The meatballs and gyoza were okay. They had a banana panda drink that tasted like dessert. I had one specific drink that when I got it, the glass was half empty which was a bummer because drinks are expensive you know. read more

Wow wow wow!! This really is a hidden gem. This place has innovative cocktails curated by the owner I believe. Such a creative mind I should say! We came on a fairly slow night (it was just my friend and I and two other people in the restaurant). The food was AMAZING, a little pricey, but would definitely make a trip back to try more cocktails and the karaoke. The restaurant serves as a bar and a dine in restaurant and the inside gives off a very intimate atmosphere with a quirky feel to it. The service was great (I believe the owner served us) and was very patient with our slow decision making (everything on the menu sounded so great!) Thank you for having us and we will definitely be back soon!! read more

Mediocre food. Came here with high expectations and was disappointed. Best dish was the chicken skewer. The hamachi kama was decent. Ramen was so so. The rest were overcooked (cauliflower) or over fried (gyoza). I didn't like the beef tongue skewer ( they need some of the traditional Japanese seasoning to make this better). read more

Out of the 3 dishes we ordered, dragon horse roll, organic chicken skewers, and karaage chicken, the karaage chicken was the only decent dish. The sushi tasted pretty low quality like what you'd get from the supermarket, and the organic chicken skewers were too salty. For drinks we got the flaming dragon and miso peppercorn and ended up preferring each other's drink, so we swapped. I think maybe this place would be better for karaoke where the food is just an addition to the entertainment. read more

Great service and food! I I'm only giving this place four stars because I don't think the quality of the seafood warrants the price. I guess you can say I'm a bit of a sushi snob As far as the vibes go, I'd say it's a 10/10 because of the way the public karaoke room is set up. It gives the atmosphere for socialization and relaxation. Public karaoke space. Open every day free of charge! I would definitely recommend this place for dates and groups! read more

Started with some warm edamame and went in on the drinks. Tried a couple recommended drinks by our server he was really nice. -Kumamoto sunshine -Very easy to drink light gotta lick the salt for that added effect -Smoke umami-More bold but lightened because of the vanilla butter you can smell and taste it -Kagoshima to Oita- easy to drink has a bit of a kick it's really good -Hot and sour - easy to drink not what you expect you smell the jalapeños but it's very light -Heaven and earth and dragon flame required fire!! has a Smokey herbal smell and had a sour taste so different. Overall a great place for drinks but didn't get a chance to eat there since we had dinner plans across the street. I definitely don't mind coming back to try their food and omaksae. read more

Phenomenal find honestly! I am so glad I found this gem. I visited this place twice on a Saturday night once for a date with my husband and once with my friend. This place is the perfect place where you can sip delicious and refreshing cocktails and have a great conversation. The ambience was so simple yet very minimal and artistic. The servers gave us some amazing recommendations and they were so friendly, they really took care of us and this place has one of the most humble staff in the city. Me and my husband tried the Flaming Dragon cocktail and first of all I loved the presentation, it reminded me of Harry Potter and we all love Harry Potter. Such a Royal looking drink and it was a strong one, but it tasted great and was very well balanced. The next cocktail we had was Kouma cocktail which was so refreshing with a great flavour of cucumber and peppermint. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and I would come back for this one on a hot summer day. Overall, this place is a 5 on 5 for me because the service, ambience and cocktails were on point. Even the food looked appetising and would love to try it when I come here next. Would highly recommend this place for a date night and a great time. read more

We were excited to try this place and hang out. We got a cocktail from the menu and noticed the bartender was using Evan Williams whiskey for cocktails that clearly said whiskey Markers or Angels Envy, which is 2x the cost of Evan. We asked him about it and he said oh that's out of date. Got very defensive immediately and then aggressively snatched my drink from me to remake it without me being able to respond to his question about remaking it. We asked him to not be this aggressive we are simply trying to have a conversation, but he was having a bad night or something. Either way the whole situation felt very slimy. I hope this is not standard business practice to cut corners and skimp customers, but it sure felt that way based on how he reacted. It killed the vibe so we left and saved the night at Tempest down the street! read more

Overall, I loooved the beef tongue skewers and the 5-piece nigiri omakase plate. I thought the rolls overall were okay; the rainbow horse roll's assorted sashimi on top was too stringy. The drinks though were insanely good. They had a special pop up lunar new year cocktail menu and all the drinks were so unique, fun, and delicious! I liked how chill the overall vibe of the place was, and our waiter was also very patient with us since we were there for 3 hours slowly ordering and chatting. He was great! read more
