    The food was great and amazing. Definitely recommend 2 of each to make yourself a little fuller. But overall flavor is phenomenal. Service was nice, took a little bit of time, but didn't really mind it at all. The food was brought out to us, the seating is at Bare Bottle Brew Co. Ambiance there was also amazing. Very nice welcoming feeling with arcade and pinball machines to play from. Also they have a photomatica! Recommend!

    Soo good highly recommend! I haven't found any spots in SF that makes inari pockets. The ingredients are super fresh and prices are decent. I highly recommend the spicy tuna, chili garlic salmon, mayak egg, and bulgogi with cheese. The owner came out and delivered these to me inside of Bare Bottles super friendly guy! Check them out

    We didn't know this was only for pickup, but Craig was so nice and let us inside so we could take our time to order; he even offered to bring us chairs! We ordered the bulgolgi, garlic salmon, and Craig was kind enough to throw in a cheese corn -- which ended up being our favorite one! We'll be back for sure, for the food AND for the great service! Parking is just a little tough, street parking and steep hills. But worth our trip!

    I got the bulgogi w/ cheese and the spam & kimchi, both were really good! I don't know any other places around here that have these kinds of inari so this was good find. There's a QR code outside that you scan to place your order. Once the order is finished, someone will bring it to you. I was seated inside bare bottle and when my order was done, someone called to ask where I was so they could deliver to me, which was nice! The only downside was that I did wait over 30 mins for my order.

    Loooove this food! Was driving around sf and decided to grab a quick bite..just wow. So much flavor and super tasty. It brought me back to my childhood the bulgolgi had a grilled taste! They had hand delivered it too, what a great personable experience!! Can't wait to come back.

    There's no seating, but you can sit in the bar next door if you'd like; they will bring it to you. We especially liked the Mayak Egg, highly recommend trying this place!

    I stumbled upon this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I placed my order and paid online, and it was ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes. Curbside pickup is a very convenient. I parked in the front and the guy brought the order to my car. The rolls were incredibly delicious, juicy, and flavorful. They make for a great snack.

    No idea where this place is. Found a bar and a hamburger food truck, that's it. Was there a food truck here before ?

Each dish is thoughtfully served with a story -- not only is each sooooo tasty but also unique and something I've never had before. And to top it all off they make new menus all the time?? The first time we went we were celebrating our friends' wedding, and the second time was for my husband's birthday. The vibes were so personal and immaculate, they even got the whole room to sing him happy birthday. I can't wait to go again and see what else they cook up!

Nice openings bites but thought it was just okay. Roppongi sen ~4/5. Quite tasty and nice presentation. Really liked the crust and accompanying flavors. Well balanced. Nanangs balay ~4/5. Good and quite tasty. Octopus was cooked well, and the accompanying flavors were quite unique especially with the wilted greens. Pot au feu ~3/5. Okay. Resembled sukiyaki, but the white sauce on top looked a bit unappetizing, and I thought the taste was okay. A cup for sarap ~4/5. Tasty dessert with a combination of ingredients. Sheet cake was okay, although I would have liked something more interesting or complex. Service was very good. Cute origin story and entirely owned and run by the couple.

Dishes we family-styled: the slow shrooms, the Kothai ceviche, pear and endive salad, the lamb roti with sichuan pepper sauce chili vinegar and charred eggplant, the pork chop with miso parsnip and broccolini, and the almond torte with yuzu ice cream and candied pecans. All their dishes we tried here were beautifully presented, combined creative ingredients, and delicious! Warning: the Kotahi ceviche was super garlicky, so you vampires have been warned! Also, it normally comes with two pieces, but because there were three of us, they added on an extra for us. The meats for the main entrees were cooked perfectly and the almond torte was the perfect way to end the meal. I thought it came with vanilla ice cream at first, but it was actually a creamy yuzu! We even saw the owner helping out front of the house. Service was helpful and courteous.

    This should be a good indicator for how much I enjoyed Lapisara. I was in San Francisco for four…read moredays and I visited Lapisara three times. Twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The servers are so friendly, kind and hardworking. They truly know what exceptional customer service is about. The food was perfectly prepared and the presentation was so appealing, with the little touches of Thai hospitality. My first breakfast was the Meat Lover's Omelet with House Potatoes. Tasty and it really hit the spot. Great coffee too! Dinner consisted of a flavorful beef Mussamun chili dish. Awesomely tender beef in a savory sauce. A Stella Artois worked well for my drink. My second breakfast was a Belgian Waffle with Chicken Apple Sausage and Scrambled Eggs. Perfection, with fruit accents of banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Thanks to the chefs and servers at Lapisara! I'm a big fan now.

Next time I'm here I'm not getting the chicken and waffles and order more appealing to my palette like salmon or them steak and eggs. Service was good the workers are very nice. Also my meal was free bc my grandma paid for it so that is pretty awesome

    Incredible Thai food with wonderful service in a cute space. It was a great experience end to end…read more Walked in with a party of 6 an hour before close, and the staff was kind enough to accommodate us at the bar and ensure we got orders in before kitchen close. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. We all noted that it was truly the perfect dinner portion where you leave full but not stuffed. The price is extremely reasonable for SF as well, so that combo of right size and right price really tickles my fancy. Cambodian Beef Skewer ($12): Bomb. Like, really wonderful. Tender, charred, salty, a bit sweet, and umami. This is one of their specialties, and I see why! It is absolutely one of the best skewers I've ever had. Pumpkin Curry w/ Chicken ($18) + White Rice ($3): So delicious. Silky-smooth curry loaded with all the mix-ins. If you like curry, just get it. I took a bite of my brother's Loc Lac ($15): also great. There was a broth + egg noodle-based dish that I can't remember the name of that was also super good. On the side, we ordered some Roti ($3 ea), and those were flaky and crispy. Finally, dessert was also fantastic. I LOVE to see a restaurant kill the mains and also bring out wonderful desserts. - Mango Sticky Rice ($8): Truly so good. I loved the sesame seeds on the mango to add some crunchy nuttiness to an otherwise smooth dish. They executed very well. - Fried Banana with Honey ($8): Could pop like 10 of these. I say order. - Roti w/ Ice Cream (between $8 - 12): fun, yummy. Probably my least favorite dessert, but still good. Amazing work, Megan's Table!!! If you are in the area, don't miss it :)

    Cozy spot for Thai/Cambodian food with a few tables and bar seating available. The menu is limited…read morebut with solid choices and classic options, including pad thai and pad see ew. We opted to try the cambodian beef skewers, khmer salad and mee ka tang. At the time we went, the phnom penh noodles that was shown in some menu images was removed as an option. The beef skewers were tender with balanced flavors of the aromatics, including lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. The khmer salad reminded me of papaya salad but with different greens. The salad had just the right amount of dressing--it was flavorful without being overpowering or drenched in sauce. The mee ka tang had wok-charred noodles topped with a mild, lightly seasoned gravy and a generous portion of protein. The prices are reasonable. Food comes out quickly and the staff is very sweet. Overall a great spot for Thai food.
