I go to school in SF and have heard about this matcha spot from so many people so I had to try it and it didn't disappoint! My girls and I got the matcha latte with strawberry cream and jasmine tea with matcha cream. We ordered online so I wasn't able to interact with the staff but drinks were ready fast. The parking is always difficult in inner sunset so you might have to walk a bit. Overall great spot. If you're ever near Golden Gate Park, try it out (: read more

We came in on Saturday afternoon, and the line wasn't too long. We were able to order within 15 minutes, and our food was ready around 10 minutes later! We got the chicken filet karage sando, strawberry cream sando, unagi onigiri, mushroom onigiri, and matcha lattes with strawberry cream. The chicken filet karage was savory and lightly crispy. The strawberry sando was lightly sweet with fluffy cream. The unagi onigiri was really tasty and savory. My friend got the mushroom and pickled daikon onigiri and she liked it. The matcha lattes were not too sweet and the strawberry cream gave it a light fruity taste. I typically don't go for fruit matcha lattes since they tend to curdle, but having it as a cream top prevented that! I like that the sandos came in two pieces, so then we could share one savory and one sweet sando! The place is small with limited seating, so definitely be on the lookout. Very casual chill spot to catch up with friends. Otherwise, this is a good spot to do grab and go for a sando and matcha latte! read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - strawberry sando, chicken sando, unagi onigiri, matcha lattes with strawberry cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great matcha and munch spot :) Big fan of their onigiris and also tried their iced matcha latte with pistachio cream. The drink is a solid 8.9/10 (regular sweet with almond milk) with great blend of nuttiness and sweetness, just wish the matcha was a tad bit stronger. I've tried their shiso unagi, shiso beef, shiso salmon, miso snow crab, and mushroom and pickled daison. Shiso salmon was my favorite given great portion of fish and roe, great pickling on the inside, and the shiso giving a fresh element. Shiso unagi is my second favorite, but wishing eel flavor is more. Beef and snow crab were pretty good! The mushroom and pickled daikon is also good but prefer it combined with the other fish for an elevated flavor profile. read more

Another matcha spot that came back from resilience, Tadaima in Inner Sunset. Like the one in Mission District and Cow Hollow, same matcha drinks, same neatly prepped onigiris, and same sando variations. There's even a 50g matcha green tea powder pouches waiting for anyone to have. And of course, I never grew tired of its café space and vibe. The iced Straight Matcha with sugar never fails to please me even when it's never on their menu option. As for the mixed fruit sando, I received an assessment from my brother after he tried the whole thing. He claimed that the milk bread from Tokyo Central in Emeryville tasted way better than the milk bread of Tadaima. Of course, everyone has different views when it comes to their taste buds. All in all, I be more than welcome to come back once more to order a sando straight from the specials. read more

I've wanted to try this place for sooo long. Found a parking lot nearby and it was a 5 min walk. I came here before it opened and there was only a small line. Onigiri is also freshly made. It's actually pretty spacious inside with seating. Service was good and quick. Iced Matcha Latte: thin drink but still a really strong matcha taste. Got their default sweetness with less ice and it was a perfect sweet. I prefer bittersweet matchas and this was perfect. read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - Iced Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on a Sunday & there was a short line outside. It was well worth it! We ordered an iced matcha with strawberry & an iced matcha with salted cream. We also ended up trying a tuna onigiri & a yuzu salmon onigiri (which they were running low on, and making fresh). The matcha drinks were only $7.50 and $7.75, which seemed pretty reasonable because the matcha was fantastic. There was some seating inside & the place overall has good vibes. I'd come back! read more

newest and most spacious (I think?) branch! I love that they lay out all the onigiris up front so you can grab and go, minimizing the cashier line. the matcha (Matchaful) they use is pretty creamy, light umami, and has only a slight bitterness. I usually get a matcha with flavored cream top but this time I ordered the plain matcha latte ($6.75) I could taste the matcha and it wasn't grainy but it was a little too sweet (default sweetness), I'd ask for less sweet next time. also, they sell merch here! their receipt actually said I could get a free tote with a review but they said they ran out and didn't seem to want to give away the display ones :"( read more

It's worth the hype. I'm still dreaming about my visit here a month ago and am planning my next trip here. It was theeee perfect place to meet with a friend. There was a line already at opening and it wasn't a surprise! I loved being able to look in and watch them make the onigiris and how delicious it all looked. My favorite onigiri is the Shiso Salmon. Their matcha is strong too I had the salted cheese topping. I have yet to try their Sandos but only hear good things. There's seating inside. Cute to meet up for a date or catch up session! Looking forward to my return! read more

The chicken karaage sandwich was my favorite! I would definitely come back for this. It was very lightly fried and the milk bread they use was so light and fluffy. I tasted 1/4 of the fish sandwich which was my second favorite. The tonkatsu pork with pineapple I would probably skip next time. The pork was a little on the dry side. Though, the pineapple was sweet. I took some onigiri out to try later, but haven't tasted them yet. The ordering system was quick and we waited maybe 10-15 minutes for the sandwiches to be made fresh. They have some small tables to sit and eat at and there is a clean and beautiful bathroom. The green color interior of the restaurant is very soothing. I would say this place is a little better than Yutori in Palo Alto in terms of their sandwiches. read more

Came here for their jasmine tea with matcha cream as I heard someone shouting "there's no line!" at 3PM on a weekday, so I knew I had to come by and try it. Interior was small with very few seats. Seating space was probably as large as the ordering area. Went to eat my solid meal and then came by again, still no line! It was quick to order and get my drink (I was the only guest ordering lol). It was pretty good, but I'm not sure I'd wait in a line for it. But if there's no line and I'm interested in some matcha, I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Out of all the matcha in the city, Tadaima is definitely in my top 3! I was super stoked to hear that a location opened up in one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city! As you know, parking in the city is a complete nightmare, and wanted to give you a heads up, this is right smack next to GGP so this is no exception. This location is very cute and has more seating than the other locations (for example the original one on the mission.) Over here, you can get a table to enjoy your drinks with your friends on a slower day. On weekends, the line even tho can be long, the wait honestly isn't too bad. I believe what sets Taidama apart from its competitors is the quality of its matcha, its ratio, and the balance between having fun flavors without overwhelming the natural grassy notes of the tea. As a bonus, I really appreciate their selection of onigiri and sando so you can get your caffeine fix with some lunch. I would recommend you checking out Taidama out, especially for their strawberry matcha. It might be my favorite in the city, creamy, not too sweet, deep strawberry flavor. read more

Came here mid-afternoon for a snack. I ordered a hot hojicha latte, a shiso beef onigiri, and a mushroom pickled daikon onigiri. Both onigiris were super yummy-lots of filling inside and very flavorful. I ended up feeling like I ate a meal instead of a snack, but no regrets because they were so delicious. The cashier recommended heating up the onigiri for 30 seconds. Hojicha was also quality, but pretty strong, and had a slight bitter flare to it. Store is pretty clean but limited seating. Parking can be difficult in the area, so if you are driving, I'd recommend bringing some coins/credit card to pay for a metered space. Prices are a little high but good quality. Hope to try a fruit sando next time! read more

Got lucky at noon on a weekday, swung by on my lunch break and didn't see a line, even got a seat inside to quickly engulf my food. You can certainly bring it a few steps down to the park as well. Chicken karaage sando - perfectly crisp, juicy chicken, bread was ok. Very easy to eat, came out fast if you're looking for something quick but fresh! Salmon shiso onigiri - lovely snack, packed with flavor. Good portion of salmon, whole shiso leaf, more veggies mixed in the seasoned rice ball. I loved everything in this one. Strawberry matcha - great matcha flavor even without adding extra shot. Strawberry cream was a treat, and they offered half/less sweet which was perfect. Am interested to try the tonkatsu pineapple sando and pistachio matcha! Lots of other great onigiris and drinks and specials too. The fruit sandos look beautiful. read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - Strawberry matcha latte, shiso salmon onigiri, chicken karaage sando - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I really don't want you to go to Tadaima Inner Sunset...because it's super popular already! The onigiri is incredibly fresh and delicious. You see them making them in the front by the window. Fascinating to see the staff pressing ingredients into the triangular molds. I love the variety of salmon onigiri (from simple Yuzu to more fancy with some thin omelette covered ones). I've tried the beef and yuzu salmon. Yum! Still I will get to the curry chicken onigiri and other flavors. Let's talk beverages: the matcha lattes are one of the best in San Francisco! I've had both hot & cold with oat milk. The Hojicha lattes..omg..SO good! There is even more at Tadaima: sandwiches(!) both savory and sweet. Customers are gobbling these up. The tonkatsu Sando (savory) and the fruit cream sandos (sweet) look delicious. If possible, don't linger inside the shop. There is only a wall bench with five small tables - it is a small seating area. It's a bit cramped inside when patrons are waiting to pick up drink or food orders. Take the food/drinks out and go to Golden Gate Park - only a half block away. Having Tadaima here in the Inner Sunset adds another jewel in this wonderful gourmet corridor. Food: 5 stars Ambiance: 3 stars Service: 4 stars - polite and prompt read more

Nice vibe at this Tadaima, where the onigiris are displayed on the counter and you could fill a basket before purchase. I bought a hot almond matcha and my daughter ordered a cold matcha latte strawberry foam, saying it's her 2nd favorite in the city, after Maruwu Seicha. Tbh, I thought my matcha was overpowering. Good service. read more

I came here to pick up some takeout for my parents. There was already a line when I got there at 11. And it was a Wednesday so I'm thinking that the line must be longer on weekends! They were continuously making onigiris. I watched them make them through the window while I was in line. I finally made it inside! There are woven flat baskets to pick up your food. Signs say something like if you're going to touch the food, please buy it. I really appreciate this messaging because even though the food items are individually wrapped in plastic, they're still very delicate! Please don't touch food that you're not going to buy. These other items I bought: Shiso Salmon onigiri $8.50 Yuzu salmon onigiri $6.00 Mushroom and pickled daikon onigiri $3.50 Strawberry and cream sandwich $12 The strawberry and cream sandwich was made to order. So they gave me a buzzer and it took a while for them to make it. The strawberry and cream sandwich was absolutely delicious. It's well made, with sweetened whipped cream and big pieces of strawberries. The crust have been cut off. But honestly, it's not much different than what you can make at home. I left the onigiris with my parents and they said they were very delicious. I would like to come back and try a few more of their menu items. They're Matcha lattes all sound interesting. read more

Tadaima's third location in the inner sunset. On a Sunday morning at 11:45 am there was a short line. Menu posted on the window outside and inside. Once you walk in the onigiri/spam musubis are on display to choose. Savory and sweet sandwiches/drinks can be ordered from cashier. Not a whole lot of tables and not good for big groups. I liked the yuzu salmon onigiri. A little pricey for the small size but still good. The mixed fruit sando was kinda sweet but good. Next time, I'll just get the strawberry version. Street parking is tough read more

I've been hearing a lot of people recommend Tadaima for a good matcha so finally got the chance to stop by. There was a short line when we got there but we got our drinks pretty fast. I ordered a matcha latte with salted cream as well as a yuzu salmon onigiri and the prices were pretty decent. The matcha was so good and the saltiness of the cream balanced out the matcha. There are a few tables inside to sit at and the staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend and come back! read more

The Sandos are so good! I got Chicken Filet Karage and the strawberry and cream sando and both were really good. The bread was soft and moist on both. The chicken karage was a standout, very flavorful and crispy. I enjoy this location better than the mission. There's always a line out the door but it's easier to order online and pick up. read more

Solid matcha, the strawberry cream top was really good and wasn't overly sweet. I think i prefer this over the jammy strawberry puree other matcha spots serve. I also tried their yuzu salmon onigiri, the rice was perfectly seasoned and there was a decent amount of salmon both inside and outside. The inside can get loud and feel a little claustrophobic but drinks come out pretty fast. read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - yuzu salmon onigiri - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came on a rainy Monday afternoon and there was no wait. We got 2 premium onigiris (shiso unagi, shiso salmon) and they were super flavorful! Also got a hot matcha latte which had a nice bold matcha taste. It passed my basic matcha test of not tasting like a cup of milk. There are a few small tables to eat at. The matcha cup and onigiris can feel a little sticky and the tables were kinda dirty, so this is something that can be better. Normally would've rated a 4 for the price for value, because 8.50 for a small onigiri is quite steep, but the food is good and I want the business to continue improving, will round up. I want to try the sandos another time, to bring me back to the conbini days in Japan, but the $16 may stop me. We'll see how I feel... Street parking can be tough in this busy area and the meter maids are on high alert. We were 2 mins past our meter time and Bam! $107 ticket. So be mindful if there is a wait during busy times. read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - Hot matcha latte (6.25). Shiso salmon onigiri (8.50). Shiso unagi onigiri (8.50) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

So happy they opened a new location here! Tadaima is excellent. We went on a weekday and it was busy inside but there was no line. The onigiri is made fresh and set out so you can easily grab what you want and check out without waiting. I also ordered the tonkatsu pineapple sando which took about 10 minutes, so not bad at all. The shiso salmon onigiri was really good with a decent portion of salmon on top. We also tried the shiso unagi onigiri which we liked and thought had even better flavored rice, probably from the unagi sauce. The tonkatsu pineapple sando was good and the pineapple paired well, but I still prefer the chicken filet karaage sando (tried this at their other location). This is a perfect spot to pick up lunch on a weekday. I would not wait an hour or more on the weekends, but weekday was great! There is limited seating inside, or you can take it to go and enjoy it at the park or beach nearby. read more

I like this better than the one in Mission. Although staff there were friendly, I never thought I'd try Tadaima again since our first try was ok. Mid as what the new generation call it. This branch probably just does it better? I don't know. Food is great! We had 2 savory sandos (fish & chicken) then brought home a bunch other things (mango & mixed fruit sandos plus different flavors of onigiris) ALL were a hit! We got 2 drinks and they were both perfect to the last drop! Perfect ratio and well balanced. Hopefully they keep it up. Place is clean and well kept. Even their restroom!!!That's how you know the place is really clean! I like how it's spaced better than Mission's. Only thing I dread is parking! We shall be back. Please keep it up! read more

Omg. I didn't realize how DELICIOUS Tadaima's matcha was. I saw this place all over social media and was skeptical about it. A close gf told me she really liked their matcha so we went! And I do indeed get the hype. Their pistachio matcha is sooo good and creamy. We came on a weekend and line moves decently fast(ish) and seats open up here and there. Parking is around Irving St, so you already know how that goes. (Be prepared to maybe park far and walk) read more

So excited that this location opened up in Inner Sunset! The onigiri look so delicious and I will definitely come back for those another time. Ordered a hojicha latte and a fish katsu sandwich. The hojicha latte was a really good drink portion and the caffeine definitely got me through the afternoon. The fish katsu sandwich had so many great textures and flavors and the sandwich was built in a way where the bread wasn't soggy even after traveling with it. The line was pretty manageable and the items came out quick after ordering. I think it only took 5-10 minutes of waiting time. The interior is also much larger than expected. The exterior makes it look like it might be a tiny shop but there's actually quite a good amount of seating inside. read more

I came to this place because I heard it was a new restaurant that opened a little while ago. I finally got a chance to try it. I waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. From the window you can watch them make the onigiri fresh. When you walk in the onigiris are on wooden shelf/trays and separated by ingredients. It feels like a to go place, pretty clean, and drinks can also be ordered I ordered the snow crab, salmon yuzu, and spam misubi. The snow crab was okay, the texture is soft. The salmon yuzu had a yuzu taste. It was more flavorful than the snow crab. The spam and egg misubi was pretty regular. They have specials and sandos. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if I have a craving I would comeback. read more

Probably my favorite matcha in the city (': I'm so glad they opened up a spot in the inner sunset! It's situated in such a perfect location, so it's a great option for grabbing a quick matcha and strolling in the park! The space is pretty small with maybe 5-6 tables, but I've been able to grab a table to sit and chat every time I've visited. My go-to order is the matcha oat latte with the pistachio cream. The matcha is very strong and smooth, and the pistachio cream rounds it out well with its nuttiness and earthiness. Definitely worth the hype and worth the visit! read more

Tadaima - Inner Sunset - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

We're always looking for new spots when we visit SF and this spot was walking distance from where we were staying. We heard there are pretty long lines, but when we went on Sunday around opening hours, it was only about a 10-minute wait. They serve sandos, onigiri and drinks which is perfect since it is right next to Golden Gate Park. Once you enter the shop, you grab a tray and pick the onigiris you want to eat. They have a decent selection but we went with the Shiso Unagi, Shiso Salmon and Miso Snow Crab. I'll start off by saying that these were pretty pricey and they add up pretty quick, however, they did have quality ingredients so I guess it's not something you can get all the time. As for drinks, we tried the Matcha Latte and Matcha Latte w/ Salted Cheese Cream. Both tasted a bit watered down, but the flavor was there. Overall, it's a solid spot and there were some other items we wanted to try so will save it for next time. read more

It's honestly so nice to have another matcha spot in the Sunset. I usually get their Iced Matcha with Strawberry Cream, and the matcha ratio is just right. My partner and I stopped by on a warm weekend, and even though there was a long line, the staff making the drinks still didn't skimp on the matcha. Iced Matcha with Strawberry Cream ($7.50) - It's somewhat similar to Komeya Bento's matcha latte, but a little less creamy, so you get more of the matcha flavor instead of mostly strawberry cream. Tonkatsu w/ Pineapple Sando ($17) - I personally liked the sando with the savory and sweet combo but my partner did not. You normally won't see tonkatsu paired with pineapple at all. But then again, there's pineapple on pizza so who am I to judge. It wasn't anything super special though..the tonkatsu itself kept its crisp texture. it's pretty filling for the most part, you can share with a friend easily. Strawberry & Cream Sando ($12) - I enjoyed the sando! The bread was soft, and the whipped cream was heavenly. It wasn't overly sweet, but I do wish there were a few more strawberries and that they were distributed a little more evenly throughout given the steep price.. The shop felt pretty open overall. There was indoor seating and I believe they also had a backyard patio, though I didn't get a chance to check it out. When you walk in, you can see the staff making drinks and sandos right behind the counter, and a large display of onigiris and musubi. The space itself had with a clean, natural minimalist Japanese café feel. read more

I fear I crave Tadaima on an unhealthy basis. After first visiting their other location and learning of their newest one in the sunset, I knew I had to pay a visit. I am such a fan of this spot for convenience and quality! I came with my companion after running an errand in the area. It wasn't too busy, but there was a short line out the door. Lines move fast since you order and wait for your drink to be called. If you're ordering food, it'll take longer. There is a decent amount of seating inside, where I see people working and hanging out. I wouldn't mind coming back to chill, but I usually grab-and-go. I got the Matcha Latte with Salted Cheese Cream and Oat Milk. I love salty things, and this was my two favorites in one! Creamy and earthy matcha with a hint of salt--so well balanced! I highly recommend it. They also have onigiris on display, which seems popular amongst folks. I haven't tried them yet, I am curious, but being Japanese, I need fresh nori on my onigiris, haha. I am also interested in trying their sandwiches. Matcha girlies and everyone who is a fan: Tadaima is a must-try in the city. I prefer this location since it's convenient and I enjoy grabbing it and walking in the park. This location is off 9th Ave. with metered parking around. read more

Stopped by Tadaima recently and had to come back again a few days later. First time we grabbed a bunch of sandwiches and matchas for a picnic and it was so good it made the return trip easy. Service was smooth and friendly, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. The ambiance is clean, modern, and minimal. It feels like a quick grab-and-go spot but still has a calm, welcoming vibe that works well whether you are stopping in or taking things out for something like a picnic :)) Matcha Latte with Salted Cream Cheese Creamy, balanced, and not overly sweet. The salted cream cheese added a nice contrast that made it stand out from a typical matcha. Tonkatsu with Pineapple Sando Crispy tonkatsu with a good crunch, paired with the sweetness from the pineapple that worked surprisingly well together. Flavor and texture were both on point. Everything we have tried here has been consistent and well executed. Tadaima is one of those spots that feels easy to come back to. Definitely a place I will keep in rotation !! read more

Went to Tadaima in the Inner Sunset around 12pm on a sunny Saturday and there was already a long line out the door, but it seems like there's always one! We waited about 20 minutes which honestly wasn't bad. I love that you can choose different cream flavors with your drink, and the pistachio was pretty good. It had a really nice nutty flavor that paired perfectly with the matcha and it wasn't too sweet. I also tried the salmon onigiri with egg, but I didn't particularly enjoy it because there was a bit too much rice, so the flavor was masked. I do want to come back and try the other drinks and the sandwiches though! read more

Quick matcha and katsu sando with a friend! The matcha and katsu sandwich were so good. The matcha is the perfect balance of matcha and milk. The katsu sandwich had crispy flavorful chicken covered with soft bread. I wanted to go back the next day to try another matcha and sando. Lunch time is busy but service was pretty quick. There are a few tables/seating inside but not much. No outside seating either. Best to take to go. Parking is difficult in this area, I'd park more in the neighborhood to avoid meter/pay parking. I will definitely be back again soon! read more

Stopped by around 1:15pm on a Saturday. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. It was cool to see employees assembling onigiris through the windows. Onigiris were placed on the counter where you could grab them on your way to the cash register. We ordered a potato and egg sando ($14) and a fish katsu sando with shiso leaf ($18). I debated getting the tonkatsu with pineapple over the fish sando but went with the fish instead. The egg sando was ready immediately (premade) whereas the fish sandwich took about 20 minutes (fried to order). It was a bit of a wait but understandable given the amount of people in line. Further in the restaurant, there are a few tables for people to sit at. On a weekday when it is less crowded, it would be nice to sit and enjoy the sandwiches fresh. Fish katsu sando (4.5/5). I wasn't able to eat for about 20 minutes after we got them and to my surprise, the sando was still warm and the fish was still crispy. The fish was nicely fried and not greasy at all. I liked how they included two layers of filet. The tartar sauce was tasty and not overpowering. The spring mix gave it a nice freshness though I wasn't able to distinguish the shiso or pickled dikon much. Took off 0.5 for the price (I think something like $15 would be more justified) but it is San Francisco. The milk bread was fluffy and sweet. I would happily get this again. Potato and Egg Salad (3/5): It was good but nothing special. There was so much egg salad that it was falling out of the sandwich. Milk bread was good. Not worth the $14 to me- I preferred the fish katsu. Overall, food was delicious and I give this place 4 stars instead of 5 given the prices of the sandos. I would come back to try the other hot sandos (chicken karage and tonkatsu pineapple) and a matcha drink. Update: Queued about 20 minutes on a Sunday (around 12pm). Got the tonkatsu pineapple sando. I'd give it a 3/5- I liked the idea of the pineapple slice to offset the tonkatsu but the sandwich ended up being too sweet for me. Picked up the karage sando for a relative but didn't try it myself. Was told it was delicious though so I'll need to try it for myself! read more

Matcha has been spreading across San Francisco for a while. There is an expansion of a matcha joint with lots of following it since its first inception in the Mission District where Don Juan de La Matcha was going to get his matcha in the old neighborhood. Today this place just opened its third location in the Sunset strip of San Francisco on 9th Avenue by Golden Gate Park. On a matcha stroll in the Sunset strip of San Francisco they opened a Taidama where different of matcha varieties are sold. I always try to get something different when it comes to matcha because I usually get the Dirty Matcha Cream Latte .This time I got Matcha Latte with Salted Cheese Cream. It had a smooth taste and it wasn't too sweet but a bit cheesy like some in SF. This place is consistent when it comes to matcha like the other locations but I did not see the mango sandwich I usually like getting. Overall good addition to the Sunset Strip of San Francisco. Food in San Francisco is "innovative"and some are "creative" in search for the best matcha is highly "debative" but it's all good for Don Juan de la Matcha a born and raised San Francisco "native" Taidama matcha is "valid" with fruit and cheese "added" different taste for your "palate" and they even have savory sandwiches like the "Potato & Egg Salad" read more

I came here for lunch with a friend on a Sunday. It was a short walk from Golden Gate Park. The line can get long, but don't worry. The service is fast and hopefully, you won't have to wait too long. Take a picture of the menu or browse Yelp to figure out what you would like as you're waiting. You can watch them make and wrap the onigiris and musubis once you get to the window. You can see how fresh the ingredients are. The workers here are efficient and friendly. The salmon shiso onigiri was my favorite of the two that I had bought. The shiso leaf made it taste so fresh. The salmon was seared and they do not skimp on the rice and fish eggs. There is also a layer of fluffy egg. I would definitely get again! The chicken kaarage sando was worth the wait. The chicken has a crunchy outer layer and the meat inside was tender. The mustard used has great flavor. The cabbage and lettuce add the vegetable element with some crunch. All of this is packed with soft, delicious bread. They put a whole mango in the mango and cream sando! The mango was ripe. It was sweet, but the cream balanced it out surprisingly. Again, the bread is pillowy soft and complemented it well. Beware if you get the potato and egg salad sando that it gets pretty messy. This one was also good, but there is a reason why it is wrapped in paper. The potato and egg salad had a risk of falling out! Matcha is what everybody was getting as they left the store. But I opted for a black sesame latte and it did not disappoint. It was flavorful and perfect for a creamy drink. There is some seating inside. They can fit only about a dozen people. But be warned you may be rubbing elbows with the people next to you. A lot of people were getting their orders to go and taking them to the park to enjoy. Overall, everything we got was worth the wait. I would definitely come here again. It is the perfect place to grab something to go and enjoy a picnic at Golden Gate Park, especially since the weather is getting warmer and the days are longer. read more

Newly opened Matcha place in the Sunset neighborhood. I've heard there are multiple locations but I this is my first time trying Tadaima. What makes this place different than other Matcha places, at least in San Francisco, is they offer a variety of oniglly options that are freshly made. There is a line so for us the wait was around 15-20 min. We didn't try the onigilly today but did order the Matcha with Strawberry Cream and one with Pistachio Cream with 50% sweet. Just about the right amount of sweetness for us. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and pronounced. Both drinks were good. The pistachio cream has a little more crunch and saltiness with the cream. read more

3.5 STARS Tadaima needs no intro. Since launching in The Mission in 2024, they've been popping off on socials for their photogenic Japanese sandos, onigiri, and matcha. Over the weekend, they opened their third location in the city just steps away from GG Park. There's only a few seats so it's more of a takeout spot. Until 2/24/26, it's 15% off your entire order which was the perfect opportunity to try more of their sandos. Incentivized reviews - you get a free tote If you post a review on yelp or google (didn't partake at the store). That probably explains the influx of five-star reviews...but how are you supposed to leave an *honest* review before you've even tasted the food or drinks? F O O D * Chicken Karaage Sando ($16) My fav of the two sandos, the thiccc dark meat cutlet was juicy, flavorful, and maintained some of its crispness on the way back home (15 minutes). The milk bread was fluffy soft with the green bean tempura, japanese mayo, and shredded cabbage adding a nice crunch and creamy freshness. I just wish there was an acidic element like pickles or a touch of yuzu to cut through the richness. * Tonkatsu Sando w/ pineapple ($17) Unfortunately, they sold out of the fish sando within an hour of opening so we opted for this. I love salty-sweet combos but there was nothing salty to contrast the pineapple's sweetness. Additionally, the pork cutlet was dry and pineapple's moisture made the panko crust soggy. S E R V I C E Friendly and efficient but indecisive customers create a bottleneck. Overall, I'm glad I tried Tadaima again and was able to take advantage of the 15% off opening promo at their new location! read more
