I have dined there multiple times and hosted several parties there. Everyone tried the food all love it. 5/5. They also have a happy hour menu and the portion is filling. I specifically love the Wagyu garlic noodles, it's garlicky, buttery, beefy, it super addicting. The ground floor is smaller with a bar with 5 TVs where you can dine solo and drink beer at the bar or have smaller parties. The second floor is huge and there's also a large karaoke room where you can easily fit 30 people for a bigger party.

We came on a Saturday evening for an early dinner and were able to walk in with no wait. The server…read moregreeted us warmly and seated us right away. The restaurant was quiet, clean, and comfortable overall. We ordered the Australian Wagyu AYCE menu. The meat and veggie options weren't a lot, but everything we tried was really high quality. We chose the tonkotsu and Japanese tomato soup bases, and both were tasty without being too strong. The chicken karaage was a standout -- we liked it so much we ordered it twice! It wasn't exactly traditional Japanese-style karaage; it tasted more like Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which we loved. Overall, a great dining experience!

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.

I usually don't repeat restaurants that soon, but I had Do Re Mi three times in one week!…read more Do Re Mi was inspired by the three kids of the sweet owners, Judy and Ivan. I first visited their Mission location and ordered the sushi bake + chicken rice. The sushi bake was flavorful. Then I happened to be back in the area midweek, so I returned for the beef rice dish and a few onigiris. During the Chinatown Night Market, I stopped by their Chinatown location, which just opened this month Safe to say this spot will be added to my regular rotation.

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.

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 :)

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.

Menu is relatively the same as Dumpling Home featuring my faves like the numb and spicy XLB and the sheng jian bao. Both very delicious! The remainder of the dishes we got were also good.

Dumpling Home will always be my favorite (still prefer it a TINY bit), but because there is less of a crowd, service was amazing! I definitely wouldn't mind coming back considering there the difference in wait time to Dumpling Home.
