    Kaiyo is worth adding to your San Francisco list! It is a hidden gem rooftop bar/restaurant. The rooftop views are incredible, especially at sunset, and it's the perfect spot for photos and selfies! I visited during the winter, and their seasonal hot toddy was the perfect drink for the chilly weather. We also tried two different types of oysters (the creamy/milky was my favorite), sushi, and the Wagyu sliders - which were hands down the best thing we ordered. If they're still on the menu, definitely give them a try! There was plenty of seating, we were seated quickly, and the overall atmosphere was amazing. Whether you're going for drinks, food, or just the views, Kaiyo is a spot I'd definitely recommend!

    Shrimp ceviche
    Nuran S.

    Hmmm not sure about this place. 2.5/5 stars but I'm rounding up due to location and view. They have a good size menu with plenty of options but nothing wowed me. The shrimp ceviche came with whole shrimp which I wasn't used to. The plantain chips that should be included with the fish are an additional $8. I wouldn't say it was traditional Peruvian ceviche by any means. The veggie gyoza were okay, could use a little more flavor even when dipped in the soy sauce. The Drinks were mid as well. The View/rooftop is limited depending on where you sit in the restaurant but saves this place. I don't think it would be doing welll if it wasn't for the view and location next to the stadium. Overall, Kaiyo was Just an average dinning experience with nothing exceptional or worth noting. Staff was okay, food was just okay...

    I enjoyed this spot more than I thought! I went here for brunch, and the food was really great. I got a fried chicken and waffle dish basically, it was good and a solid portion size. The drinks were really good, my special request requested a whiskey, sour and the bartender definitely knew what he was doing. Lots of bathrooms as well which I think is really nice.

    Lima Roll

    The rooftop was beautiful! Loved the view of the skyline and overall great environment. I personally didn't like the mango mambo but it was still a good cocktail, the spiciness in the drink due to the jalapeños just wasn't my thing (always got try something new though right?). The poko cocktail however was lovely! I honestly think the Lima roll might have been the best sushi roll I've ever had too and I wish I had access to it closer to home. It was a very busy night for staff due to it being graduation weekend, a Friday night, and they had a private party but they still made sure we were well taken care of.

    This place has a great ambiance and equally great food! The service is great, staff is friendly. The ceviche is amazing. I've been a couple of times and often for their non alcoholic passion fruit drink and requested tequila in it, so good!

    Came here with a couple friends on a Tuesday windy night before a dinner reservation later that evening. Took an elevator up to thw rooftop. There was bar, indoor and outside seating. Decided to sit outside with a view facing the city. It was really windy, our server asked if wanted blankets which we said yes to. There was also a heartedly above us where we were sitting. The drinks had interesting names. I got a coffee flavored one since I like an espresso martini. I think i prefer an espresso martini than the drink I tried. Maybe its the alcohol that was used in the cocktail that wasn't doing it for me and that I'm not used to. A friend ordered chicken karaage which was fine, a couple pieces were little salty, but had a decent crunch. Service was mid. Period.

    Our waiter Alejandro was great, helpful, friendly and quick. Love the views and the rooftop setting but it was cold and windy the day we went - recommend going in the summer. The food was tasty but the portions were small in comparison to the price. But hey, that's SF for you. I could skip the beef empanadas next time. It tasted fine but nothing epic about it. I think I have a slight addiction to their plantain chips- they're thin and light and tasty with the cevice or guac - edamame dip. Yummy The drinks were pretty good too! I wouldn't mind coming back to celebrate or experience the rooftop again with friends. But I likely wouldn't come back for a monthly or weekly dinner date.

    corn ribs
    Isabel T.

    tldr: delish food! def pricey and had some bumps in our experience but i'd go back for a cute rooftop moment. ordered: lima roll, corn ribs, and yucca fries. my friend also got the chicha morada highlights: honestly all of the food was great. it was just two of us and it was the perfect amount. i really liek the roll (the initial taste was peruvian which was such a fun twist). also the ribs we so juicy and flavorful. ambience: the lighting and vibes are gorgeous. only thing that was annoying was that where we were sitting had two loose tiles so anytime people walked by us our whole table would shake. it also did get chilly so don't forget a jacket! other notes: we got a reservation for monday at 6 (pretty easy and only booked about 3 days in advance). the entrance is kind of hidden. It's up a little ramp on the side and the security will send you up the elevator (don't forget your ID).

    Lima roll
    Katelynn V.

    Nice rooftop for a date night! However the food is below average tasting. My friends and I came here Thursday night and it was a bit more than halfway booked with just a few tables open. We all got 3 things to share and only 1/3 was good. 1. Kaarage Pollo -- This is one of their petite bites. It's Japanese fried chicken but oh my when I took bites of it I was disappointed. It was too salty and the sauce they pair with it didn't help. I would not get this again... 2. Lima roll -- This roll was good for how simple it is! I recommend it! 3. Kaiyo roll -- This roll was just alright for me. I feel ehh about it. It's a 6.3/10. Try at your own will. It's really pretty at night! I love the vibes of the place and how they have a screen lit up of the beach. I was worried about it being cold but they have heaters running and glass walls. Also the music they play here is bomb. They be being bad bunny and Karol G! I'd come back here to try their drinks but I didn't have the best experience with most of the food. However the workers here are so nice!

    The views are beautiful, truly the highlight of the experience. The very best! Customer service was responsive and solid as well. The food and cocktails, however, didn't quite match the setting. My hot toddy and the Kaiyo roll both looked great but tasted fairly bland. I sampled a bit of every dish, and my girlfriends and I all agreed the food was on the bland side. It's a cute spot for a group hangout or a romantic date, especially for the atmosphere. Very unique interior and space. I'd must go in with adjusted expectations when it comes to the food and drinks.

    Mango Mambo

    Came here on a Tuesday night for drinks and a light dinner. We had a reservation, so we were seated right away. The restaurant was hosting a private company event that night, so service was a little slower than usual. Considering how busy they were, it was understandable. The spicy miso soup was one of the highlights of the meal. It was simple, flavorful, and comforting. The papas fritas paired really well with the aji amarillo sauce. I ordered the Lomo Saltado Roll, but was served the Lima Roll instead. Since we had to leave earlier than planned, I didn't bother sending it back. It was decent, although it had a stronger fish flavor than I was expecting. The Spicy Tuna Roll was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The Mango Cocktail was probably the best thing I tried. Refreshing, well balanced and easy to drink which can be dangerous. The atmosphere and views are what really stand out here. The Japanese-Peruvian fusion concept is a great idea, and it's one of the reasons I wanted to try the place. While the food was good overall, I was expecting a little more creativity and flavor from some of the dishes. Overall, it's a great spot for drinks, conversation, and the view. The food is solid, but for me, the experience and cocktails were the real highlights of the evening.

    Was really excited to try this place because it's been on my list for a while, but was disappointed. Service was slow, took some time to have our order taken and even longer for the food to come out. After ordering, the 2 rolls came out shortly, however the 2 orders of nigiri and 2 handrolls did not come out for another 20+ mins. I understand that dishes don't always come out at the same time, but the gap felt unusually long given how small our order was. A server let us know that it's due to them inputting the dishes periodically rather than all at once. We would have preferred for them be placed all at once so that the timing felt more cohesive. The servers weren't very attentive and it was difficult to get their attention. The food itself was good, presentation was nice, but the slow service unfortunately took away from the experience. We went upstairs to check out the rooftop, and it was nice. Drinks were good and the view was pretty with good photo ops.

    Kaiyo Rooftop was the absolute highlight of our holiday SF outing with our friend group! The views of the city are truly spectacular and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration. They also have an indoor restaurant on the 1st floor. We loved the unique blend of flavors in the delicious Peruvian/Japanese influenced food, and their creative holiday drinks were expertly crafted and hit the spot. The atmosphere was vibrant and festive, making it an unforgettable experience for our group. If you're looking for a place that combines amazing service, great cocktails, and a view that can't be beat, this is definitely the spot. Ambiance: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Food: 10/10 Drinks:10/10 Music: 10/10 Seating: indoor & outdoor Parking: street parking available Price: $60-$80 per person (depends on how many drinks you order ;))

    View was cool but the weather was too cold even with the heaters.

    Ask the Community - Kaiyo Rooftop

    All over 21, but someone in the party has a 4 month old baby. Is that allowed for the rooftop?

    Is the rooftop and restaurant available to rent out for private events?

    Yes, please email events@kaiyosf.com with your inquiry.

    Do they have tap pay?

    Yes!

    Can 15 years old girl enter?

    Kaiyo Rooftop is typically a 21+ venue but the restaurant (floor 1) is open to everyone!

    Is their valet?

    No. Street or garage parking only. On game days, I would suggest to Uber/lyft

    Is this restaurant able to accommodate those with shellfish allergies?

    Kate, yes absolutely! We have plenty of non-shellfish dishes on our menu.

    Are any of the veggie options vegan or are they just vegetarian?

    They have 2 vegan rolls and a third vegetarian roll that can be made vegan

    Do they accept brunch reservations? There are none on RESY from what I can tell.

    I've been calling to reserve and send email but no answers, how else can I reserve? For the NYE event, are minors allowed?

    You can book through their website, it's super easy! Not sure that it's kid-friendly. They ID you before you can get in the elevator to go to the restaurant which is at the top of the Hyatt Place Hotel. Perhaps you can instead call the hotel to… 

    If I am coming with a party of 8-10 just for drinks, no need for a reservation correct? How long is the wait for bar walk-ins for this party size?

    Definitely make a reservation. If you don't, be prepared to wait and fight the crowd.

    Do I need a reservation for a party of four on Friday night?

    I would highly recommend it. The place gets incredibly busy, especially on weekends, and there's not a lot of seating.

    Is there a dress code?

    None noticeable. It's on the trendy/classy side if that helps you pick what to wear. Jeans and a t-shirt are fine. It's also on a rooftop in San Francisco so it can be a bit… 

    Do you have to spend a $75 minimum per person for Easter brunch?

    Is there a dress code?

    business casual

    Is it 21+?

    I believe it is.., at least at night it was... they def checked everyone's ID to make sure they were 21 but to double check I would give them a call :)

    Do you need a reservation?

    For food yes. If you're doing drinks only and are okay to stand at the bar walk-ins are allowed

    Do you have take out or curbside pickup?

    nope they don't

    Wait so are walk-ins welcome?

    Not if you want to eat. Standing by the bar walk-in is okay but you won't get a table

    Is there a DJ on Friday or Saturday nights?

    We have live Dj's or band for special events but do not have them on a weekly basis

    Is the restaurant 21+ even if we just want dinner and no drinks?

    Yes, they check your ID before you go up the elevator

I understand that it was an escape room + the staff + the cocktails. If you max out the party size, it's about $85-ish per person which I think is pretty solid. Still very unique and fun and glad I got to try it

Needed a kick - The jerk jerky: goddam this was spicy! From someone with a medium spice tolerance! Good thing I had the cocktail to wash it down haha. The parts that weren't tongue burning spicy were so flavorful though - The red eye: the espresso rub was subtle but a fun contrast - The thicc Jim: better than any slim Jim or chomp stick you'll ever eat. Fresh pork and that hot honey garlic essence Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Limited street parking nearby but right next to the light rail and buses along third street and the bay bike trail - Non alcoholic options available

    Such a cool Japanese bar with a great atmosphere! Make sure you bring your ID, because they will…read morecard you at the entrance as if you're going into a club. The inside has a really cool, stylish vibe, with a great selection of drinks and very good bartenders. The food was amazing too, especially the sando -- honestly, it might be the best sando I've ever had in San Francisco! Excellent service all around and a fun, comfortable place to meet up with friends for drinks and some seriously good Japanese food. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!
