I went to Kiitos last Tuesday for their Happy Hour. I'm doing Sober January so Dolly made me a couple of delicious mocktails. Their draft beers are only $2 on Tuesdays and the HH includes free pool - brand new table!! A really awesome lady (Hera) was leading a whisky education class, which looked very cool and I wished I could have participated - next time! I met the owner Kaushik - he was very down to earth and welcoming; not what I had expected at all, based on the comments that have been made online about him. The cocktail list looks great and I can't wait to try some of them in February. I am an event bartender and do my best to support my peers; it's sad to me when folks in the industry and customers of the previous establishment (Uptown) tear my fellow industry folk down based on hearsay or unrelated real estate stories. As Heracitus said, the only constant in life is change! Every single customer that I encountered that night (except one person who came in for two seconds, badmouthed the place and left), including long-time regulars at Uptown, absolutely loved Kiitos. I would encourage everyone to come with an open mind and check out Kiitos for yourself. I'm confident that you'll love it too!

The craft cocktails are fantastic and designed to mimmic Asian dishes…read more Korean Cold Noodles ($19) Probably the most unique cocktail, and equally as delicious. Pandan Vieux Carré ($22) By far my favorite cocktail of the night - very well balanced, spirit forward but also bright and silky. A5 Wagyu & Black Truffle Old Fashioned ($25) This was also fantastic, rich and buttery old fashioned with truffle accents. The A5 Wagyu is sourced from the Niku Steakhouse local butcher shop! Ube Cheesecake ($19) Wonderful dessert cocktail to finish the night. We didn't have time to try the Escape Room connected to the Speakeasy, but we'll be back! There are two rooms, one in the front with a puzzle theme, and another in the back with a Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings) vibe. Staff was friendly and took time to explain the clever menu to us!

Lore's Wonderland escape room was a fun and delightfully whimsical experience. **This review is…read moremainly for the escape room, as we did not order any additional drinks outside of the escape room.** THE SPACE // Lore Speakeasy and Escape Room has cool themed decor everywhere, from the dimly-lit speakeasy/bar room in front, to the Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings-themed board game room, to the individual bathrooms, and of course the escape room's multiple Alice in Wonderland-themed rooms. Clearly a lot of effort went into building these rooms and evoking a certain vibe for each. THE ESCAPE ROOM // The puzzles in the escape room varied in difficulty - some required us to think a bit more, some required our observational skills to work harder, and others required a light level of physical skill/movement. We were perplexed a few times but never got stuck for too long, as the White Rabbit (played by Phoenix, the live actor/puzzle master) would jump in occasionally to provide clues over the speaker or in person. It took us about 1 hr 20 min to finish the entire escape room; I thought the pacing was good. THE [ESCAPE ROOM] DRINKS // Lore's escape room experience comes with "a flight of themed cocktails or mocktails, including "potion"-style drinks that are integrated into the experience as you progress", per the website. We got to choose one cocktail/mocktail option (Korean Cold Noodles) from a list on the website, and the other two drinks are pre-selected to supposedly fit into the Wonderland theme, with the flavors described online as "berry" and "peach". You can get both cocktail and mocktails for your party, in case some people want alcohol and others don't. We all enjoyed the flavor of the Korean Cold Noodles cocktail, which was refreshing and surprisingly a bit minty in the mocktail version. However, we didn't like the two other two pre-selected themed drinks as much. The "berry" drink gave us cherry cough syrup vibes, and the cocktail version of it was quite strong. The "peach" mocktail drink reminded me of canned fruit syrup; we also were missing the two cocktail versions, though we decided not to ask for them as the mocktail version already was less than impressive. One other missed expectation here was the size of the drinks that we received in the escape room. We were expecting full-sized cocktails, like what they serve in the speakeasy in front. Instead, we found out that the drinks are served in small "vials". Given the size of the drinks in the escape room, combined with us not even enjoying two out of the three drinks, I would preferred to go through the escape room without the drinks at all, and likely pay a bit less for the escape room then. OVERALL // I'd still recommend the escape room as a good one-time experience with a date/friends/family. Just don't expect too much from the included themed drinks! The speakeasy drinks on the main menu do sound unique/tasty, so I might come back again to try those sometime.

Love what + how they do it. It's a neighborhood bar that…read morejust feels right. Food wise I'm drawn to a few favorites like the stellar pork belly banh mi slider, fries and the chicken bites. It's a thoughtful menu w something for everyone. Had a Paper Plane which the bar man furiously shook to an icy froth on the top. Soooo good. Went on St Pat Saturday and was looking for a non frat crew vibe and was really pleased I remembered BH was close by.

Cool bar with bites in the Mission District. We got there shortly after it opened at 4pm on Friday…read moreafternoon. I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

The food is very good - we've been here twice and had great food all around…read more Our first visit we had some trouble with the service, feeling rushed thru for what is a pretty expensive dinner, but the team there contacted us after (we had a reservation so they had our email) and they made it right by inviting us back as guest of Rob, the Bev Mgr. The 2nd visit the service was impeccable, everything went exactly as we had hoped. We will be back. We can recommend the scallops and the Salmon, the chicken was very tasty. Also, for the food, I recommend the dips and the fresh pitas, so good. We'll be back just for that. Reminds me of the old Berkeley restaurant years ago, Holy Land (IYKYK). Mmmm. Thanks!

We each ordered the sunrise sandwich - one with bacon and one with sausage. The sausage was super…read morethin and dry. The bacon was fine. The sandwich comes with a small dressed salad and three tomato halves. It was nice. The potatoes served with the sandwich were roasted but served cold and dry. Like they were left over from the night before. Randy enjoyed his mocha. We shared a very dry, flavorless except for the two small bits of jam in them, "cheese" danish. Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

Some restaurants have an identity crisis…read more They can't decide what they want to be. Coffee shop? Cocktail bar? Date-night destination? Late-night hangout? Then there's Shoji, which looked at all of those options and confidently replied, "Yes" By day, it's a stylish Matcha Café, where beautifully crafted drinks quietly fuel laptops, conversations, and people pretending they're only stopping in for one cup. But when the sun goes down... It's like someone flips a secret switch. The lights dim. The music settles into a smooth groove. The room transforms into a sultry Japanese dining experience that feels as though Tokyo and San Francisco agreed to collaborate on something deliciously dangerous. Now that's a glow-up. Our evening began with the oysters, and they were absolute showstoppers. Briny, impossibly fresh, and dressed just enough to enhance their natural sweetness without stealing the spotlight. They disappeared so quickly I'm not entirely convinced everyone at the table actually got one. Then came the pork jowl with shishito peppers. Ladies and gentlemen... This wasn't simply an entre... It was a gastronomic masterpiece. Perfectly caramelized on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside, with rich, buttery pork that practically dissolved the moment it touched my tongue. The smoky shishito peppers added just enough char and balance to keep every bite exciting. I briefly considered ordering a second plate...for "research purposes." Then our server arrived carrying what can only be described as the culinary equivalent of a standing ovation. The legendary Shoji Burger. Beautiful sliders nestled inside a cast-iron skillet overflowing with bubbling cheese fondue. Read that again. Cheese. Fondue. Burger. Whoever first pitched this idea deserves either a Michelin Star or a Nobel Prize in Comfort Food. Every bite was gloriously over-the-top. Juicy beef, buttery brioche, gooey melted cheese, caramelized onions, tangy pickles...and then an entire lake of warm cheese inviting every slider to take one more luxurious swim before reaching my plate. Diet plans quietly packed their bags and left the building. And then... The French fries. You know how some restaurants treat fries like they're legally required to include them? Not Shoji. These golden beauties arrived perfectly crisp, beautifully seasoned, and dangerously addictive. They became tiny edible spoons for the fondue, creating a level of happiness my cardiologist would probably prefer I keep to myself. By the end of dinner, our table had fallen strangely silent. Not because conversation had ended... But because everyone was completely focused on making sure not a single bite escaped. Great restaurants serve outstanding food. Exceptional restaurants create dishes you'll find yourself talking about weeks later. Shoji somehow manages to do both while effortlessly transforming from an elegant daytime matcha café into one of San Francisco's most exciting nighttime dining destinations. Overall: 5 stars. Outstanding food, imaginative cooking, impeccable presentation, and an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. From the unforgettable pork jowl and pristine oysters to the outrageous Shoji Burger and fries that deserve their own fan club, every dish was memorable. Shoji doesn't just serve dinner... It serves an experience you'll already be planning to repeat before you reach the parking lot. Come hungry and Go Big!!!

This review is for BAR Shoji (not the Cafe)…read more Wow! Talk about ambience. You need to be 21+ to enter and they do check ID. It's dark and sexy inside. Table setting was gorgeous. Decor is minimal. Menus are scanned using the QR code at the table. Service is excellent! We were approached/reminded that our reservation was for 1.5 hours but the party after us wasn't arriving until later so we can extend our stay for another half hour. That was very nice of them to let us know. We started with cocktails. Beautiful glassware. They may look delicate but these drinks are strong! Very delicious though. We ordered: KABOSU - like an elevated spicy clarified margarita with Thai flavors. Not too spicy. It just adds a kick. This cocktail paired well with what we ordered for dinner. KOHAKU - like a matcha whiskey cocktail SHOJI MARTINI - dry and made with Japanese gin For dinner, we ordered: FRENCH FRIES with Akazu aged vinegar aioli, tobiko - the fries were dusted with Thai seasoning which were flavorful eaten as is but when dipped in the aioli, whoa!!! The tobiko added the right amount of balance to the tang of the aioli. Next level!! OYSTER - the dressing was good. A little on the sweet side. PORK JOWL - tender and so flavorful. I wish it came with rice. The pear and pineapple kimchi was the perfect side. CEVICHE - fish was fresh and the flavors were well-balanced. Loved the giant pieces of nori rice crackers. SHOJI BURGER - this was a nice show at the table. The fondue cheese was yummy. The burger was well-seasoned. Good for sharing. For dessert, we had: HOJICHA AFFOGATO - Beautiful, delicate and delicious dessert that was fun to watch prepared at our table. Lovely experience. Thank you for the great service. The staff was kind and professional. Well done.
