The staff here is very knowledgable about the menu. Our server was nice enough to ensure that the items I ordered did not contain any of my allergies, like seafood and nuts. The place is small and cozy. You are given a certain amount of time to sit at the table, so just be mindful. I think it would be helpful to make a reservation beforehand. The food overall is very good and packed with flavor. The drinks were probably my favorite, the Rice and Shine was so yummy and easy to drink. I also really liked the pork dumplings. This would be a cute date night place.
Last seating is at 10pm and there is not much of a rush to get you out. Super fun and fresh menu that changes often. Although I see thought in the dishes , I cant help like something is missing. For example, the porcini donut was crispy and the sauce paired well but it couldve done with more of a porcini taste (maybe top it with something?). Pork dish was also dry. Would also skip this on the pate
Excellent attentive warm service! The food was oh my my flavorful!!! The black truffle egg, pork chop, 21 day dry aged ribeye are my faves so far. The birthday dessert was a sweet surprise. It resembled the taste of a thin mint girl scout cookie, but much more delicious and worth the calories! The ambiance was perfect for celebrating my birthday. It was casual and lively in there, while the service and food was Elevated! I have to come back to try the rest of the menu. Thank you to our waitress and all the staff at Rich for brightening up my day!
Came here with a group of friends and an opentable reservation! Good - Super nice and bougie! - Food is all pretty good and tasty - my favorite was the donuts and also the ricotta toast and the fried rice had an awesome texture - Short rib was yummy - Staff are really nice Bad - Portion sizes are so so small - Super expensive Overall this was an good experience overall and just left feeling like I overpaid
Was really excited to eat here but sadly left disappointed, though perhaps it was just an off night. The porcini doughnuts were our favorite dish and easily the most unique item we tried. We also enjoyed the mushroom tart, sea urchin cacio e pepe, and the dry aged ribeye. Unfortunately, the service detracted from the overall experience. The difference in attention/tone between tables felt noticeable from the moment we sat down. We were also celebrating a birthday, and while we certainly did not expect anything complimentary, it felt a bit awkward when nearby tables received birthday acknowledgments and we did not, even after ordering dessert. Overall, I do think the food had some highlights, especially the porcini doughnuts, and I wish the team the best.
Honestly if I could give it a 4.5 I would. I really did enjoy this place. I would recommend it but it's not cheap. We ended up doing the tasting menu and what I realized were that the portions were smaller and it would've been better to order à la cart. The sizes of the dishes seem to be much smaller in the tasting menu. As always, I prefer the smaller dishes and less the entrees. The sardine chip was good; donuts, stone fruit. The dry aged ribeye was good but they just aren't that unique unlike smaller dishes. Feels like there's more creativity in the smaller dishes and next time I would just order from that list and skip the entrees
Rich Table provides a very nice, casual, fine dining experience. Their menu changes so you can expect something new between your visits. On our recent visit, four of us shared a round of small plates, appetizers and pasta/rice. The server took care to explain how the menu works because it was most of our party's first time. The food is definitely inventive. My favorite dish matched bluefin tuna with strawberries. The rice dish was also excellent and topped with watercress. The cocktails we tried were just ok. It was a good experience to try out the concept. I would come back at the next menu change to try something new. I also appreciated how they have a post card of local recommendations ready if you're visiting from out of town. Folding your napkin when you get up from the table is a nice touch.
This restaurant is one of my favorites in the Bay Area and the dishes are consistently delicious. Cocktails rotate and are delicious. The sardine chips (pricey) and porcini doughnuts are full of umami flavors. These are staples and stay on the menu. The caviar and cornbread was so so good, a great mixture of sweet and savory. Toro toast on milk bread. If you think of it as a sushi, but toasted bread instead of rice, you can get an idea of the flavor. Fried rice à la plancha: Soo soo good! Definitely get it. The mushrooms and peas were delicious and the rice had a great smoky and crispy texture. Would order again. Fried pork chop: A very substantial cut with Vietnamese undertones. Worth getting if you're hungry. For celebrations, they provide a complimentary mint ice cream dish that is reminiscent of Girl Scout thin mints. This place is always crowded and worth it. Expect to pay $100/pp at the minimum.
Was left feeling quite unimpressed with the food here. Nothing that wow'd for the caliber of this restaurant. - "Ribeye": well-done, tough and thin. It was the quality of a strip steak with no marbling, already was a red flag that they don't ask how you would like the "ribeye" cooked. Extremely disappointing (1/5) - Beef dumpling: not much different than what i could get elsewhere. The dumpling wrapper tasted homemade at least. (3/5) - Tonnarelli: the pasta itself was a mushy texture, wished for al dente bite. Barely any urchin flavor, was essentially just cacio e pepe (3/5) - Agnolotti: nice curry rendang sauce, again needed adjustments to pasta for a more al dente bite (4/5) - Porcini doughnuts: fluffy and steaming, this had great texture and the whipped raclette dip complemented well (4.5/5) - Cod collar: nicely cooked, the cod was crispy on the outside but stayed juicy. Great spice coating and the strawberry with radish all worked! (5/5)
We celebrated a birthday here and it was an amazing dining experience! The staff are all incredibly friendly - they offer to take your jacket when you enter and check in on you often! They also provided us a birthday dessert! I recommend the steak! It was a nice medium rare with good texture and you can taste the spices with every bite. All the side dishes we had were all tasty too - I really enjoyed the doughnuts and the mousse toast. Overall very cute date night or place to celebrate an occasion
Was staying in SF for a long weekend for the SF Whiskey Society annual event and we booked a late dinner seating at Rich Table on a Saturday night. We have been wanting to try this place for over a decade but never scored a table and planned far enough in advance in the past - so this visit was long overdue. Turns out we weren't exactly "blown away", so perhaps either Rich Table is just "going through the motions" now, or we simply expected more than they can offer. Service was nice, but the menu options seemed like a list of disparate items that really didn't make for a cogent linear meal. Originally, we thought we'd do the chefs menu but it was already 9 PM when we sat down and I had been enjoying many dozens of whiskey's and scotches and bourbons at the Whisky Society event earlier that evening, as well as dim sum from Yank Sing, so my wife and I shared a number of dishes and most of them were decent but seriously nothing all that notable or memorable. We started with the classic Dried Porcini Doughnuts with Raclette, which was made into a frothy cheese sauce and they were good when hot but after a few minutes they became greasy and dense. Some fresh whipped cheese sauce helped but I think this "classic" starter has past its prime. Next we shared a teeny tiny blue fin toro with yuzu on a piece of milk toast and it was fine but for almost thirty bucks it was really just a quarter of a slice of bread - so damn small and exactly as described,...chopped up toro on a thin slice of bread - something better executed at many Japanese sushi joints in town, and probably easier to share. This tiny raw fish toast was followed by the best dish of the night, BEEF RENDANG AGNOLOTTI, PICKLED FRESNO PEPPER, ASPARAGUS, TATSOI - which was genuinely unique and tasty. The solo highlight for the night. Our last dish was really nothing special and quite honestly having just returned from a work trip in Munich, any number of places I ate in did a better job with what was essentially a pork schnitzel ! Their FRIED PORK CHOP, RAU RAM REMOULADE, BABY CHARD, MEYER LEMON NUOC CHAM was essentially a fried pork chop. Yawn. All in all, after years of waiting to check out this well regarded restaurant we walked away relatively unimpressed and likely not to make a return visit. Prices were on the high end and all the menu prices, despite a new menu being generated weekly, for some odd reason doesn't state the actual prices, they add 6.5% Surcharge on top of the entire bill at the end of the meal for "rising costs". Here's a novel idea, price everything on the menu accurately. Otherwise it starts to feel like an airline charging me to bring in a bag, or Ticketmaster's junk fees, or the crappy resort fees some hotels tag on the back end after you stay, for things that you are already paying for and probably didn't want to use or already paid for ! New menu made weekly, how about the actually charges for each dish,...unless you are afraid to honestly show what you are charging for a teeny tiny slice of bread with tuna on top ?! On balance, really pretty average and costly for what it was. Disappointed. Perhaps we caught an off night or a so-so menu ? Unsure but there are plenty of places in the area that try harder and impress us more. And so it goes. Meh.
Finally was able to try this restaurant. It was recommended by some friends and I also saw it on an IG influencer that I follow's page so I was really excited to try it. I went alone so it was easy for me to get a reservation but I did hear it was harder for bigger groups so keep that in mind when making reservations. I was lucky and found parking right across the street. It was pretty tight but I made it work. Sat at the bar. Ordered a glass of champagne. Kinda pricey ($25) and didn't know until the bill came but that's partially my fault cause I didn't specify what kind of champagne I wanted so I'm sure the bartender just gave me one of the more expensive ones. It was delicious either way. For appetizers, I ordered two of the dumplings. You can order by the piece but I figured 1 may not be enough. It was $5.25 a piece. It was pretty good. Would have liked some sort of acidity but the flavor was good. It was chili crunch dumping. They didn't skimp on the chili crunch but it wasn't spicy at all. Then again, my spice tolerance is pretty high. I also ordered the toro toast. It was brought out at the same time as my dumplings which was great cause I was able to alternate eating both. This was delicious. But I love most things with yuzu. I could have eaten another but I had more food coming. For my entrees, I ordered the dry aged rib eye medium rare and also the uni cacio e pepe. They brought out the cacio e pepe first. I ate about half of it before setting it aside. It was delicious. Creamy, perfect amount of saltiness and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I didn't want to get too full before my steak came. As for the rib eye, it was cooked perfectly. Seasoned just right. Love when a steak is well seasoned. It was tender and was served with a bearnaise. That was delicious also but it didn't even need it. The asparagus and garlic that was on the side was also cooked to perfection. I was so full, I couldn't order dessert, so that just means I need to come back. Great service, good food and can't wait to come back and try other dishes. Thanks for having me!
Very good food. Fine service. The tasting menu is exceptional. Fairly expensive but variety is good and quite filling. The donuts are a consistent part of the menu and the best. The bar is really cramped. Corner tables are ideal. 6.5% add on fee is disgusting and dishonest like so many other restaurants lately. Get rid of garbage fees and be honest.

First time dining at Rich Table and would definitely come back! Our server was so nice and explained the menu very thoroughly. Highlight of the night was definitely the duck, Toro toast, and porcini donuts. I recommend coming here with with a group of 3-4 that way you guys can order more dishes and try some of everything! read more
Dried Porcini Doughnuts Raclette $10 - The doughnuts were so fresh and fluffy like beignets. Their dried porcini powder is addicting. I think that is the mushroom based "umami powder" they sell in a bottle. I sprinkle it on rice, salads, popcorn at home! Aged beef dumplings + chili crunch $5 - Personally didn't have the dumpling but the chili crunch oil is so good! I started spreading this everywhere. Was sad when the waiter took the plate away when I wanted more chili oil lol. Watermelon, chamoy, cheddar popped sorghum $11 - I was looking forward to this one the most since it seemed so unique. It was good and refreshing and indeed the most unique and aesthetic dish. It's a good light dish so you can try more dishes! *Smashed cucumbers, pickled mushrooms, nectarine, sesame garlic yogurt $18 - Really good salad. The picked mushrooms are the wood ear variety so it kinda tasted like seaweed. I loved it. If I were to get something again, I'd get this. Sea urchin cacio e pepe $28 - This was highly anticipated but it was too salty. It would have been nicer if they left some uni intact on top. I've definitely seem other restaurants add extra uni at this price point. The noodles were perfectly chewy. *Dan Dan Bucatini, figs, peanut crunch $25 - Also very chewy chubby noodles again! Really good flavor, I personally liked this one a little better than the uni pasta. *Ratatouille lasagna, cashew gremolata, tomatoes, basil $34 - I've always wanted to try rataouille after the movie. Looks different than the movie and comes in a lasagna shape instead like the name. A really tasty healthy hearty dish with layers of roasted veggies. Aged duck confit, bbq, apples, cornbread $31 - Duck was too chewy and tough at some parts. Very hard to cut. Maybe I'm not a duck fan. But the cornbread was some good carbs. Seasonal Sorbet - Strawberry - Super soft and refreshing! It's very small. All for party of 4, we were stuffed! Left no crumbs. Definitely get reservations. Parking wasn't too bad in this part of hayes valley actually! read more
My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and I we have mixed thoughts. We've heard so many raving reviews about Rich Table and as lovers of RT Rotisserie we had such high hopes. Overall there were hits and misses for both the food and service. First the food: We opted to do a la carte since their $110/pp tasting menu didn't have items that piqued our interest. Our waitress informed us that the menu was made for sharing so with that in mind we ordered: Blue fin tuna toast ($21): this was really delicious. I love the light fluffy milk bread and the fresh tuna. The yuzu kosho spread MADE this dish and complemented the flavors really well. This was a really good start and was on par with tuna toasts I've had at omakase. Chicken liver mousse ($14): the chicken liver mousse was pretty good but loose. I'm not sure if that's how they meant to serve it but I'm used to chicken liver mousse being a little bit more firm. I do love the kumquat and the sweet sesame crackers that it was paired with. They also brought supplemental crackers so we could finish the mousse which was nice. Grilled baby fava beans ($9): I've never had a whole stock of fava beans before but it was delicious! I loved the fresh bright flavors from the lemony chimichurri but it was a bit salty for my taste. Aged beef wonton ($5/each): this is where the food started to take a turn for us. The outrageous $5 price tag aside, this wonton felt more like a dumpling to us. When we think wontons we think of thinner skin. This wonton skin was super thick and probably would bode better as a pan fried dumpling. Additionally, I felt like this dish had no balance. It was slathered in chili crunch and oil with no relief of meaty flavor. My boyfriend compared it to eating a hamburger. We felt like a little ginger in the filling or green onions would've helped. Tonnarelli uni cacio e pepe ($27): the cacio e pepe was sooo delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce was creamy and sharp and had /some/ uni flavor. Really solid pasta and no complaints here! Trout al pastor tostada ($39): this dish....was our least favorite of the night. The al pastor sauce was so strong I couldn't appreciate or taste the beautiful trout that it smothered. We were also taken aback by the super neon green pepper sauce that surrounded the fish. The dish overall was a bit confusing to us and we would've loved it to have been served on the tostada or served with more tostadas. It just didn't seem like a dish that was shareable the way it was presented. Honey roasted duck confit ($36): this was the saving grace of our dinner. We loved the duck confit. The meat was tender, juicy, fall off the bone. Flavors were on point and the accoutrements like sour cherry were on point. Onto the service: The "hits": The woman doing front of house with fun earrings was so nice and kind. She was very welcoming, was on point with cleaning the crumbs off the table and was overall really friendly. Our waitress Dana was also very nice and kind! She made sure to grab our names, congratulate us on our occasion and checked up on us frequently. The "miss": there was a gentleman in a blue shirt and mask who acted as a food runner/busser and we felt like he was quite rude in comparison to our waitress and front of house. We both distinctly picked up on a couple interactions where he was very short and detracted from the experience. The first time was he was bringing us the fava beans and quite literally dropped the plate in front of us and said "fava beans" and left. It would've been nice to have a pleasant explanation or for him to clear the empty wonton plate from our table. Every time he came to deliver or take away food he just did not seem like he wanted to be there- he even tried to clear a plate from the table behind us without asking and they had to tell him "we're still working on it". The inconsistency in the food and service left us feeling a bit disappointed with our experience at Rich Table. Although we probably won't come back, we'll definitely still patronize RT Rotisserie for the delicious chicken and rice plates. read more

the good: - ofc this is RICH TABLE so the service is phenomenal. everyone serving us was so sweet at explaining everything and even gave us backstory about some of the dishes that we loved - the bluefin tuna toast is one of the best bites I've ever eaten. we liked it so much we ordered it again. we were told that this was a special menu item that people ADORED so they keep it around, and I can see why. buttery tuna on milk toast is realllllly something my god - the wontons were incredibly umami and the RT chili crunch is insanely delicious - sardine chip was wildly entertaining and loved it paired with the dip - the POG shaved ice dessert is really delicious, wish I could come back just to have it. not too sweet and packed with flavor. I think about it often. some stuff that was more "meh": - ok yeah the sea urchin "cacio e pepe" is good but I don't really get any uni flavor...maybe my palate is off but it was kind of giving slightly more buttery cacio e pepe vs. any briney uni flavor I would like to come back for the toast alone and order 3 for myself LOL read more
Came here on a weekday night with 2 other people. Really powerful flavors in all the dishes and left feelings satisfied. I will go into details about the dishes I tried. In order of best to worst. I judged them relatively based on what they were - ie how does their steak compare to a steak, their temaki compared to a temaki. Comparing apples to my idea of an apple, as opposed to an orange. Duck breast (5 star): The duck was so incredibly soft (sous vide??) skin was crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Out of this world!! It came with some hoisin sauce and rolls which were honestly not necessary. Porcini doughnut (5 star): I'm not sure that I've ever had anything like this. The donut was so light on the inside dusted with super umami powder and dipped in an airy soft creamy tangy sauce. I could keep eating this. Dry aged ribeye Larb (4.5 star): I love Larb so the tartness really hit the spot for me. I think I would prefer the outside to be a little more charred but the inside was soft and perfectly cooked. Albacore zukedon Temaki (4 star): This was really solid. Ponzu is a magic ingredient so it is a bit of an unfair advantage. I really enjoyed the Passionfruit addition. Sourdough bread and cultured butter (3 star): the sourdough was very tart and it really needed something creamy to add depth. The cultured butter was too cheesy and not to my liking. Sea urchin pasta (3 star): I really love sea urchin but this pasta made me question whether or not I knew what sea urchin tasted like. I couldn't taste any of the briney-ness and just a ton of umami like it was just pure liquid Parmesan sauce - which would be delicious but wasn't my expectation. The pasta had a little too much resistance and was less done than a chewy al dente. read more

Rich Table was a blurry experience fueled by a little too much drinking during the day. We were actually going to cancel the reservation, but after reading the fine print regarding cancellation fees, we decided to dig deep and make the trek back out. I don't mean to come off disrespectful, but we were all pretty exhausted (and not that hungry). To eat, we ordered a variety of items. I honestly can't recall the names of all the dishes we tried, but I thought the quality was certainly elevated. Service was impeccable throughout the night, and the decor and atmosphere were both on point. I would like to come back again to try more of their dishes in a better state of mind. read more
It is a good spot for small groups (up to 6), celebrations, and birthdays. The tables are close, very intimate, and loud. They are known for their signature cocktails. Our favorite of the night was "Hell Yeah." All dishes are shareable; you can share a pasta dish and still get a main dish. Everything was good! I don't think we had anything bad. Sardine Chip (delicious dip), Blue Fin Tuna Toast Dried Porcini Dughnut (raclette was to die for) Duck Confit (super soft, moist) Squid ink bucatini with bone marrow (I'm a sucker for bone marrow and lots of seafood!) read more
I celebrated a birthday here in a group of four, and we had a great time! Food and drinks were all on point and service was extremely attentive. Porcini donuts - these are a signature for a reason. So fluffy, savory, and really tasty. Dumplings - these are FAT with great beef flavor. Rib eye - this is HUGE. Come hungry and enjoy the excellent steak. Duck w cornbread - the duck has a really smoky flavor, and the cornbread is a real treat Cacio e Pepe - this was a highlight for me. I loved the creamy texture and the flavor was on point Dan Dan bucatini - this was the only dish that my group didn't finish, it was good, but not as special as the other dishes. Desserts were all incredible as well. We ordered a panna cotta which was a giant portion. The texture was more pudding-like, but we really enjoyed it with the whipped cream and sugar cookies it came with. read more
Make the reservation as soon as the books open. Order everything. Enjoy. No but seriously the smashed cucumber dish with the sesame garlic yogurt and chili oil- any restaurant that can make mushrooms and cucumbers taste like that deserves all the stars. Get the donuts that are warm puffs and get dipped in cheese. Get the dumplings. Get the cacio Pepe. No regrets. Also the staff was incredible. Everyone we interacted with was just so lovely. Happy people make happy food. read more

What a TREAT! I had been wanting to try Rich Table for the longest time and was finally able to try it for my birthday. Overall, the service was stellar - everyone we interacted with was so friendly and enthusiastic. But I have to write about the special treatment we got at the beginning -- We arrived at the time of our reservation and our host let us know that the table before us was taking a little longer than expected. While we were waiting outside on the bench, looking through the menu and just chatting, a waiter came over and brought us 2 complimentary glasses of rose. I thought, wow, how nice! Shortly after, another waiter came over with 2 small portions of savory panna cotta - "a little snack for you", he said. I really enjoyed the different flavors. Anyway, maybe 5-10 mins later, he showed up again. This time with the sardine chips! And then with the famous porcini doughnuts a few mins after! We didn't get to touch the porcini doghnuts yet before our table was ready so he ended up bringing that dish in for us. We ended up getting the table around 30-40 mins after our reservation time, but still, that was A+ service!! Anyway, onto the food.... - Sardine chips: not something I would've ordered, but it wasn't what I expected. They fry the chips so that there is a little pocket for the sardine to sit in. Paired well with the horseradish creme that came with it. - Porcini doughnuts: YUM!! The doughnuts were light and fluffy (yet chewy) and full of the umami flavor. Raclette cheese sauce it came with was flavorful and not too heavy. - Dry aged beef dumplings: lots of hype on the dumplings but I thought they were just okay - Uni pasta: cacio e pepe sauce was delicious although I wouldn've have minded a stronger uni flavor. I personally like the sauce here more but like the noodles at Ernest better - Sweet and sour trout: not the sauce/dish combination I've seen normally but it worked and tasted good; skin was nice and crispy - Birthday dessert: (complimentary) mint chocolate cookie with milk ice cream. I am a sucker for mint chocolate so I loved this - Chocolate panna cotta: very rich and a little more like a pot de creme than a panna cotta haha. Delicious nevertheless and paired well with the palmier cookies that came with it For drinks, we also tried the Artemio Palmer (milk wash) cocktail which was really good! You don't see milk wash cocktails that often so I thought it was pretty unique. Anyway, great dining experience and highly recommend visiting! read more

It's a very relaxed restaurant with knowledgeable staff and great atmosphere. The food has all sort of flavors so you can find something for everyone's tastebuds! read more
came here in a big group of 8 for a company dinner and they curated a family style 4-course dinner for us. first of all, service is amazing here -- the staff are constant checking in, efficiently refilling our water, and asking if we would like more drinks. they took our dietary restrictions and allergies very seriously and provided special alternatives for individuals with restrictions. the family style was perfect because it allowed us to sample a plethora of dishes without getting uncomfortably stuffed in the middle. we got to try their homemade buttermilk, which was impressively creamy. I especially loved the sea urchin cacio e pepe, ribeye, curry fried rice, and cucumber sherbet. read more

This is the best meal I've ever had in SF! I took my boyfriend for his birthday and we did the tasting menu. Everything was phenomenal! It was A LOT of food, so be sure to come hungry. Our one regret was not having enough room to enjoy every bite. The service was lovely and very attentive. We will definitely be back! I bought their cookbook and am going to attempt the mushroom donuts myself. read more
Vibe: Beautiful airy space, plenty of outdoor seating. Surprisingly casual given the caliber of the food (I'd feel comfortable coming here without dressing up). Service: 5/5, our server was really approachable and the food arrived at a nice pace. Food: 5/5, definitely one of the best "Californian" cuisine meals I've had in my life. Everything is on the pricier side but the portion size is reasonable. The standouts for me were the sea urchin cacio e pepe and the dessert with melon ice and black sesame. Also loved the veggie lasagna, porcini donuts, and sweet and sour trout! Presentation was absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to come here again! read more
With a restaurant you have fond memories of sometimes upon return they disappoint, but that is absolutely not the case at Rich Table. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could. The current menu is *chefs kiss*. We started with the (porcini donuts & beef dumplings), followed by the buratta toast (holy moly this is DIVINE), the albacore caesar, the raviolo a la Cotogna (this rivals the original), and the pork chop milanese w/meyer lemon. They delivered hit after hit and we could not stop talking about our meal this morning. I'm dreaming about that pork chop... To top it all off, our waitress Stephanie has been at RT for years and recognized us, which is always a lovely surprise. We're already looking forward to our next meal here. read more
This was one of my favorite dining experiences in SF! The service is super sweet and conversational. Since it was busy, we had to wait 20 minutes more than our reservation time, but they brought our table champagne and Porcini Donuts on the house! They even called us twice when we forgot some of our leftovers. We also really enjoyed the dim lighting and ambiance of the place and it felt like a great date night place. Food: Dried porcini donuts with raclette (9/10), these were so light and fluffy! i would get this appetizer every time Sardine chip horseradish creme fraisch (8/10) House cultured butter (9/10), an on the house item but it was one of my favorite parts of the night Burrata tikka masala (10/10), so unique and bright and would 100% get this again Sea urchin cacio e pepe (9/10), this was so so good! Aged beef dumplings (7/10), loved this with the chili oil but it wasn't as unique as others. Ricotta dumplings w pomegranate (6/10), good but could have been a bit more flavorful and fun. Would definitely take a visitor here for some unmatched service and great food! read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night and had a terrific meal! I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and it did not disappoint. We had a reservation for 7:45pm but still had to wait about half an hour before being seated. However, we were able to order quickly and the dishes came out quickly too. Here's what we ordered: Small bites: - sardine chip - dried porcini doughnuts - aged beef wonton Apps: - blue fin tuna toast Mains: - sea urchin tonnarelli - duck confit Dessert: - pog shave ice Everything was delicious and flavorful but the standouts were hands down the sardine chip and porcini doughnuts. The sardine chip was so creative and the horseradish creme fraiche complimented the chip so well. It was such a great bite! And the porcini doughnuts were so chewy and fluffy but crisp on the outside. The porcini added such a great flavor to the doughnut and the ricotta dip was a great pairing as well. Service was great and everyone was so friendly! The atmosphere was very lively and warm. It was packed on a weekday but still felt relaxed and cozy. read more
Fantastic meal overall; California cuisine meant to be shared with some very unique and delicious bites! We tried: - porcini doughnuts were really tasty and would definitely recommend. The 'doughnuts' themselves are light, airy, and chewy. They come dusted with what I assume to be porcini powder which was an absolute umami bomb. In addition, they're served with a raclette dipping sauce which was perfectly salty and funky - blue fin toro toast was tasty and presented beautifully. Great, bright and acidic toro tartare on top of toast but not the most memorable. - aged beef dumplings were really flavorful and came covered in a delicious house made chili oil. Dumplings were well made and very beefy but also had all the flavor of chinese dumplings. Chili oil on top had tons of crunch and texture, I ended up buying a jar of it - sardine chips with horse radish creme fraiche was a very unique bite but not a standout in my opinion - aged beef agnolotti was a great stuffed pasta dish. A rich and flavorful sauce and a lot of fried sunchokes which was a great textural contrast to the pasta itself. - mushroom fried rice was tasty but not one of my favorites. It sat somewhere between a fried rice and a risotto in terms of texture. It came topped with lots of mushrooms, cheese, and garlic chips (which were great for texture). It tasted more of butter and less of mushroom/umami than I'd expected - gochujang black cod was absolutely delicious and the fish was cooked perfectly. The fish was buttery and flaky and covered in a sweet & salty gochujang sauce. The salad accompanying the fish was refreshing and I love the inclusion of apple pears for sweetness and texture. I'd certainly recommend trying the fish. Staff was friendly, quick, and attentive. Went for my birthday and all of the staff wished me a happy birthday and were incredibly nice. They even gave a complimentary dessert and a menu to take home that was signed by all of the staff that night; a really sweet and memorable gesture. Certainly think it is worth visiting; must tries are the porcini doughnuts and black cod! read more
I've heard great things about Rich Table and I was so hyped about coming. This is probably one of the hardest reservations in SF (unless you want to eat dinner at 10pm) and I was so excited when I got a reservation the day before due to a last minute cancellation. The restaurant is pretty small and the space is a lot tighter than I had expected. The interior kind of reminded me of State Bird Provisions and Beretta Valencia. It happened to be a winemaker takeover night and we came in for a "wine dinner" reservation, which gave us exclusive privileges to order wines from Big Basin Vineyards, which were featured on the menu, just for this night. The waitress gave us a rundown of the menu and recommended the following that are staples on the menu: *Dried porcini doughnuts raclette *Sardine chip horseradish crème fraîche *Aged beef dumpling RT chili crunch *Burrata tikka masala "schmear", crispy brussels sprouts, Schlok's bagel *Tonnarelli, sea urchin "cacio e pepe", idiazabal (she said this is a 100% must-get item) For 2 people, she recommended getting 2-3 bites, 2 appetizers, 1 pasta (2 if you're really hungry), and 1 entrée. For us, this was WAY TOO MUCH food. We didn't finish 4 out of the 7 dishes that we ordered. I would personally say to pick no more than 3 items between the bites and the appetizers. Their appetizers are basically entrée-sized. The sardine chip was a good starter dish. It's pretty light and refreshing, and the horseradish crème fraîche was delicious and paired well with the chip. Everything else did not feel like an appetizer to me. The aged beef dumpling was good but not spicy in the slightest. Also, $5 for a dumpling? That is a little insane. In all honestly, I would like to give the dried porcini doughnuts raclette a 1/5. This was an absolute miss. We both took a bite and just looked at each other. It was way too heavy and just made me feel absolutely gross. There were 5 of these in a serving, and we each only had 1. The burrata tikka masala "schmear", crispy brussels sprouts, schlok's bagel was one of my favorite items of the night. It was delicious. We also ordered maguro tataki, braised cranberry beans, swiss chard, fried sourdough. Honestly, this dish just had me confused. I was confused about how to eat it, what was going on, and honestly just everything about it. Other than the fact that the tuna was kind of bland, everything else tasted good by itself, but it just felt like everything was thrown together haphazardly. The presentation was confusing and I was just so lost at what this was or was meant to be. Also, neither of these two dishes felt like an appetizer. Next was the tonnarelli, sea urchin "cacio e pepe", idiazabel. I have to say that this tasted pretty standard, like a normal cacio e pepe. It was very rich and creamy and I can understand why this attracts an audience. Kind of weird that this was the same size as the appetizer though. I don't think I could have eaten more than half of this by myself, just because it's so rich and heavy and the taste becomes quickly monotonous after the first few bites. It was a good dish to share. I also think the use of acidity (for example, lemon) would have balanced out the creaminess and elevated the dish a lot more. Lastly, we had the dry duck confit, quince, and duck fat cornbread. While I really wanted to enjoy this dish, I was just way too full at this point. The duck was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the duck fat cornbread was simply delicious and was probably my favorite item of the night. The quince and the sauce were a little too sweet, but overall this was a solid dish. Flavor wise, I would give it a 4-4.5/5. But I honestly just had so many questions about the dishes throughout the meal: the pairings, the sequence, the presentation, etc. It felt like everything was too much of its own thing and didn't flow into a sequence very well. Also, every single dish was garnished with chive, A LOT OF chive. I didn't dislike it so much as I was just confused. It made the plating look messy. The presentation of the dishes can honestly use some improvement. Service was good. Our waitress checked in often to see how we were doing. I would come back and order half as much food. read more
I'm fairly new to the Bay Area but Rich Table has been my favorite dining experience thus far. They for sure live it up to their Michelin star reputation. Everything was terrific, and I mean EVERYTHING. From the savory doughnuts, to the aged beef dumplings and the cacio pepe pasta. Nothing missed the mark! At the end of the night, I spent 60 to 70 dollars on myself and I have no regrets. If you have the opportunity, grab a reservation at Rich Table, you won't regret it! Special shout-out to Larry for being an awesome server/bartender too! read more

An amazing birthday dining experience! My first time at RT and very impressed by service/ wait staff, the coziness of dining room being immersed with the kitchen, and of course the unforgettable food and cocktail. We tried a lot of the menu but really couldn't get over the grilled black cod with the unreal Korean flair. The menu is rotating seasonally so I can't wait for the next big occasion to come back and celebrate. read more

Great place to celebrate a birthday! The three of us started with sardine chips and a couple of crab salads. I confess that I was glad to delay this dinner until January since Dungeness crab season opened late. The crab salad was my favorite last year... but that was before I tried the oysters! OMG! Do NOT miss them! Hog Island Sweetwaters are fabulous naked, but dressed in kumquat and peppercorn!!! There are no words! The Trout Almondine was succulent and a work of art. The ribeye and the tonnarelli pasta were good, but did not delight in the same way that the other dishes did. read more
Rich Table has long been one of my favorite restaurants. I've been here more than once and the food is always fun, the ambiance is casual & warm, and the service is excellent. I've tried their fixed price menu as well as a la carte. The food are always fun and creative, taste very delicious as well but they are mostly in the smaller size. I tried their famous sardine chips, they were very tasty and quite addicting. The Sliced Geoduck was not cut in slices, instead, in a small square shaped which I think was too small. The Tonnarelli Sea Urchin "Cacio E Pepe" was very tempting but it was very oily. My favorite is the "21 Day Dry Aged Ribeye". I am glad our server mentioned about how great the steak is and yes! the steak is super succulent, better than the steak served in a steakhouse. We celebrated a birthday here, and we got a complimentary birthday dessert, which is sweet. The cocktail menu has variety, they taste delicious, but some cocktails portion are too small. Whenever I dine at Rich Table, it always create a sweet memory and I always think of coming back. read more

Impeccable. Flawless. Outstanding. I knew Rich Table was going to be an incredible experience based on the people who said it was exquisite. To start, the atmosphere and service are stellar. Our waitress Dana was one of the most friendly and knowledgeable I've ever had. Her recommendations guided us through the dinner and did not miss. Each dish enlighten my tastebuds with flavor combinations I've never had and will never forget. Small & Large Plates: - Chicken Liver Mousse "PB&J" - Kampachi 'Prosciutto & Melon' - Smashed Cucumbers, pickled mushrooms, nectarine, sesame garlic yogurt, and chili oil - Tonnarelli, sea urchin cacio e Pepe - Aged Duck Confit, Kansas City BBQ, Duck Fat Cornbread Desserts: - Sour Cream Pound Cake, lime curd, brandy soaked peaches - Mixed Melon & mint, cucumber sherbet, black sesame Overall highlights: - Smashed Cucumbers : mind blowing for the flavor, heat, combination. Truly remarkable. - Chicken Liver Mousse: so unique , with odd flavor combos yet light and delicious. Must get this. - Duck Confit: the corn bread combo with the sweet bbq and impeccably roasted duck. Just remarkable. I can't even begin to describe the perfection every single dish was. The chef's at Rich Table have truly mastered their craft. Im aware this menu is constantly changing and that just excites me more knowing that everyone experience will be different. Cheers to Rich Table bringing me an unforgettable dining and tasting experience. The best dinner, food, and experience I've had to date! read more
I knew I would like Rich Table given I'm in love with eating at RT Rotisserie. I would put that porcini dust on anything and everything if I had the chance. Our dining experience was great here. Things we loved/would order again: - Porcini doughnuts (my god!) - Sardine chips - Sea urchin cacio e pepe The main entree (not pictured) was a bit of a let down. Great restaurant to have a small date night at! read more

After great experiences at Ernest, we decided to try out Rich table. I was a little disappointed. The only thing that I would go back for was the oysters. Nothing really blew me away. Dishes lacked a little salt or acid, wasn't drawing me in for one more bite. Wish I could say better things. Will not be trying again, there are better restaurants in the city for this price point. read more

I have been wanting to eat at Rich Table for a long time now: Reservations are extremely hard to get. We came on a Thursday night. The service was awesome. The corkage fee is $30, which is super reasonable for SF! We got: - Porcini doughnuts: definitely live up to the hype, MUST GET - Dungeness crab/spaghetti squash dish: another good bite, definitely worth a try if you like crab - Aged beef dumplings: decent but wouldn't order again - Albacore tostada: again, decent but probably wouldn't order again - Sea urchin cacio e Pepe: other than the porcini doughnuts, this is the thing to get!! Creamy and delicious!! - Seafood bisque beef Triangoli: not a fan of this dish at all. The combo of the beef inside the pasta with the very strong seafood flavor of the bisque didn't taste great. - Black cod tempura: decent, but I hardly remember what it tasted like. Definitely not a stand out. - Butterscotch panna cotta: if you like butterscotch flavored things, you'll love this. The pretzel on top is a perfect salty balance. Overall, I had really high expectations and Rich Table didn't really wow me like I expected. For a restaurant that is so popular and hard to get reservations to, I expected to LOVE more than 2/7 of the main dishes. Of course, all of the food was still good, but I just felt a little bit underwhelmed. I would love to come back and try their menu again when it changes. read more
Rich table was absolutely fabulous! Everything from the service to the food was stellar. My partner and I had a great experience and wiped pur plates clean! We ate every single morsel of our food and drank every drop of our cocktails. We started with the chili crunch dumplings. They were delicious! They make their chili crunch in house and sell it for $8. For our mains we shared the tonnerelli sea urchin cacio e pepe and the grilled black cod. They were both SO yummy! Our favorite was the pasta thoiugh. Our cocktails were also tasty! I don't think it was one of my too favorite cocktails. But the food was the main event and will make me come back. It is hard to get a reservation but it was well worth the wait. read more

*The best restaurant and food experience in San Francisco* This was my 2nd time going, and this time my wife & I brought 3 friends who were visiting from out of town. After our first trip in August, I knew I had to bring our friends here for dinner. It's hard to find a reservation at Rich Table (rightfully so), but Resy notifications helped me secure a reservation at 9:45pm on a Friday night. Arrived and got seated 10 minutes early; the service from right when you walk in throughout the whole night was outstanding. The hostess helped us order drinks right away. Shoutout to Erika who was our server both times. She's great and felt like a friend. We ordered a handful of drinks and food, but I Recommend ordering the Oysters, Beef Dumplings, Doughnuts, Lo Mein, and Duck Confit with Cornbread (not pictured). The chef even brought us out our entrees, that was a nice touch. We didn't have room for dessert, but the dessert menu itself looked appetizing as well. There a lot of hyped up restaurants in San Francisco (and rightfully so), but Rich Table is at or near the top of that list. read more

Ask the Community - Rich Table
Do you split checks?
While I am not certain, it seems like the type of establishment that would do this.
Do you need to keep your mask on at the table in between sips and bites?
No mask required.
Do they offer a tasting menu?
Yes! It was pre fixed menu and everyone received different dishes but it was fun for everyone to try ! So delicious
What exact time do reservations open online? Is it midnight 30 days in advance?
That answer is completely wrong. It is hugely competitive. Right now, only the night that became available today, 30 days in advance, has openings, and only very early and very late. All other nights over the next month are completely booked. I… Read more
