    Joyful testimonies from patrons.

    When you're pursuing the wonderful and enchanting Japan Town mall with the love of your life and end up craving Ramen--come to K Dragon! The vibration and energy of the service, the atmosphere is matched by the delicious traditional food. You will be warmed in the belly and in the heart.

    Poor quality food. I got the sashimi salad bento and the unagi bento. The sashimi was very fishy and inedible. The tempura was soggy and the pumpkin was still hard inside. For one of the tempura, my friend almost choke from the hard plastic that was left inside. Service wasn't great and staff were pretty rude. Definitely won't come back again.

    Cute little restaurant tucked into the SF Japan town! They only had 1 server working but didn't have to wait that long. I got pork chashu ramen, and it was delicious! The noodles are cooked just right, and pork is not too fatty. If I have to give a critical feedback, it's that the egg is overcooked slightly. I expect ramen egg to be runny. Overall a good experience, definitely recommend!

    Took to Yelp to find a spot in Japantown to eat. The reviews were good so we decided to try it. It's a very small space but the decor is nice. The server provided water and you have to place your order online by scanning the barcode. It was easier than expected. We ordered the fish balls, shrimp ramen, fried chicken ramen and spicy chicken bento box. The food was yummy! The table also had hot chili crisp oil and soy sauce. We left full and enjoyed our meals.

    Tuna/salmon poke

    I ordered the salmon/tuna poke combination. The portion is generous and the amount of fish they give is enough good for how much rice they provide. The bowl will leave you with a lot of sesame flavors and it's easy to get like taste fatigue? by the end. I appreciate the amount of greens they give you and that it's not very salty at all. There's a small flower of ginger in the middle that I'd recommend moving to the side. Overall great, priced well, and service was prompt and polite.

    I got the spicy tuna and salmon poke bowl. It was stuffed. I will say though that whatever sauce they use to marinate the tuna and on top of the rice - I didn't like and wasn't expecting. It was kind of gochujang-y? Which normally I love but I wish I could've removed it or changed it. Other than that, the fish and all the ingredients were good quality.

    We stopped in early Saturday afternoon. It wasn't too busy but steady flow of traffic. We ordered the Tuna and Salmon poke bowl to share and it was delicious! Very generous portion of fish. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. It was a great snack between lunch and dinner. Very casual ambiance. Great service!

    Cute hidden shop inside one of the mall, small dining atmosphere, but good food! Service was nice and quick, went on a weekday midday as it was really slow. I got a poke bowl, I was skeptical at first about the food given low reviews, but it was yummy!! The poke bowl was filled with salmon, greens, and a very nice spicy sauce! I would go here again just for it! My boyfriend had a bento box that was also very yummy and with lots of food! Decent prices too for everything. Accepts Apple Pay too :) Thank you for a great meal and time K Dragon!

    Haven't been to Japantown in years but had the opportunity to visit twice the last few months. There are many many food options there but K Dragon caught our eye and we ended up dining there the last two times. K Dragon is located at 22 Peace Plaza opposite the Restaurant Row building. It's across the under-construction "Peace Plaza". Although a narrow restaurant, it opens up slightly in the back with several wide dining tables. You order via the QR code via your phone. They do have physical menus available upon request. Everything we ordered here was excellent! -Teriyaki fried chicken bento box (for the kids) -Gyoza - 6 pieces and freshly fried -Curry tofu thick noodle - one of our absolute favorites!! Generous amount of tofu and the curry was amazing -unagi don - Plenty of unagi and sauce, with a kale topping All the sushi was fresh and nicely presented. I loved the fresh wasabi that was included with the fish. -Salmon Nigiri - So much fish! -Tuna Handroll - huge amount of fresh tuna -avocado Handroll The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommending giving K Dragon a try if you're in Japantown!

    Unagidon
    Lanessa S.

    K Dragon is a cute little restaurant located in San Francisco's Japantown and it did not disappoint! You are able to order and pay using the QR code at the table but our group opted for physical menus and our server was more than happy to provide assistance! The ramen was great and came out hot, good amount of toppings and had a LOT of noodles. But we were hungry so that was a plus! The Unagidon was my favorite, the eel was plump and cooked perfectly, served in a bowl of rice. The takoyaki was also delicious and was destroyed by our table within minutes. I did notice it doesn't seem like they serve hand rolls anymore, I was looking forward to trying those but the other menu items make up for it.

    bubble waffle ice cream
    Taylor W.

    was eating at a restaurant nearby and their bubble waffles caught my eye. It wasn't very busy for a Friday evening, and honestly prefer this over Sophie's crepes. I liked that it was very quiet, simple, and quick to order. They also have poke, sushi, and other specialty drinks that looked good.

    Oyakodon
    Evan H.

    The service was very good and the food was great and the menu photos looked especially good. The oyakodon was glistening, came like it looked!

    Chashu ramen with extra egg and noodles and liver appetizer - a perfect amount of food for two!
    Aria

    Wowowow! What a wonderful cozy gem found in the heart of Japantown. From their matcha boba tea with its' perfect sweetness level, to their chashu ramen with its' delicious broth, to their liver appetizer with its' delicious food combinations. If you are looking for a wonderful hole-in-the-wall experience with reasonable prices, efficient service, and yummy food - I highly recommend this place!

We had recently visited Japan and were interested to see if we'd find some of our favorite products here and were happily surprised were there. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

They had a final closing party this past Saturday, and we knew we had to stop by for few last drinks and bites. It was low key kinda sad as we had to say goodbye to some of our favorites. Over the years (past decade or so now) we've gotten to know the staff and this spot has been a spot where we knew we'd get great service, good convos, and of course tasty wings, totchos, and $1 oysters on Thursdays.

Paina closing is a reminder that it's important to not take your favorite restaurants/bars for granted because you never know when that final day will eventually come and when it does it comes way too fast.
