Rabbit Hole is an awesome neighborhood bar with inventive Asian-inspired food. They have happy hour everyday 3-6pm, with one of the best smashed burgers I've ever had. We also had the ribeye and fried chicken sandwich. All food was good, especially the ribeye, which was amazing. At $31 for a ribeye, one of the best deals I've ever seen. Highly recommend trying out this place and I'll be back soon to try more items on the menu. They also have indoor and patio seating. Patio seating was great for a warm afternoon. Service was also really attentive and they had great recommendations. read more

Was really excited to give this spot a try; drinks were okay, but the service ruined it. Came here for a pre birthday celebration, and while the drinks and small bites were okay....the service was just bad from the beginning. Came here with my partner and the waitress only wanted to approach me, and was not nice to my partner at all. When he was mid sentence ordering his drink, she cut him off and demanded to see his ID. ( mind you...it is also his bday...) A while later, we decided to get another round and he raised his hand hoping to get her attention. I completely understand that being a server is hectic and very stressful, but a little acknowledgment when you see your table asking for you should be bare minimum. She completely ignored him multiple times. When she finally came to our table and bluntly said to him " I see you okay. I'm doing other things but I see you. " she only wanted to speak with me when ordering also....which I found kind of weird. She is also not the nicest to the table next to us also, so at least it's not targeted. But aside from that, drinks and small bites are pretty standard for a cocktail bar. Nothing too special, but a good place to try with friends. The service mostly ruined it for us that night. read more

Was very excited to try this place as my partner & I are pescatarian and also eat a lot of vegetarian. Their menu offers a good selection to fit those diets. And we love cocktails. Food: Liked the Bao, noodles were overcooked, bok choy lacked flavor, jicama was large and dry making it difficult to eat. Cocktails: Just ok, nothing exciting. The service was mediocre and then went down hill all night. Waitress who started us missed my HH N/A cocktail, lame. Once all food was dropped off never spoke to her again. Took forever to order a 2nd drink for me from the "drink waitress" and she whipped away w/o asking my partner if they wanted a drink. That took another while to get her attention. Both 2nd drinks too a long time. Kinda wished they had just forgot so we could pay and get out. Too windy out coming in. Close the doors. read more

I came here with my friend visiting from the East Coast, and we split a smashed burger with furikake fries, popIcorn chicken, and cucumber salad. The smashed burger came with gochujang ketchup, and I can't stand ketchup, but luckily the ketchup was on the side, so I was still able to enjoy the smashed burger, which was pretty good with the accompaniment of Asian pickled veggies. We also really liked the popcorn chicken. It was well-seasoned, and there was a lot of it. We were less thrilled about the cucumber salad, which was too sour in my opinion. It was pretty nice though that we got to take advantage of happy hour for a couple of the items. Overall pretty decent eats and not bad vibes. read more

Been eyeing this place for a while and finally got to try it out. We sat inside, but they also have a patio in the back. We ordered the sesame peanut noodles, cucumber salad, and scallion pancakes. The noodles weren't my favorite--they leaned a bit too heavy on the vinegar. The cucumber salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The scallion pancakes were good on their own, and while the dipping sauce added a nice tangy touch, it also skewed pretty vinegar-forward. The standout for us was surprisingly the ribeye. The portion was generous. This is definitely a dish I'd come back for. For drinks, we tried the Hello Kitty and the Teacher's Pet. My partner enjoyed the Teacher's Pet, but the Hello Kitty had a strong alcohol flavor that didn't pair well with the food. Service was fine overall. Our orders were taken without any issues. Our waiter was attentive but distant and not especially warm. Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, so plan ahead. read more

Went here for brunch on a sunny day-- definitely sit out on the patio if the suns out. Our waitress was super sweet and nice. I tried their shiso martini which was delicious and refreshing, and my friends got the banana cocktail and a matcha situation. On our second round they got others and all the drinks are five stars. I ordered the congee which side of pork-- too watery and bland for my taste. My friends got the loco moco and while they were satisfied they have had better. The food I'd give three stars. They were super sweet, when they heard we we're celebrating they gifted us a lil sip of sparkling rose. I'd come back for cocktails for sure! read more

My husband and I stopped by since we were I the area and we enjoyed the apps and drinks we ordered. This was a little while back during March and we tried the cucumber salad and the spice bag. Both were very good. Cucumber salad was so fresh and a little spicy. The spice bag was great, good amount of chicken and fries and the peppers and onions were perfect. The cocktails were good too, we ordered a version of a martini and it was well made and I liked the fruit garnish. Definitely would come back if I was in the area. read more

Was walking down the street and decided to have brunch here- an asian fusion restaurant that is spacious and you can be quickly seated (I also came around 1 pm so probably the rush for brunch could've been done). Service was quick and attentive. The ube drink did not taste like ube at all but still a good refreshing drink. All the drinks are pretty strong so you get a lot for what you pay for. I do think chicken may have cross contamination/ seasoning with peanuts because I'm allergic and my throat was tickling a bit (Schezuan spices commonly do have peanuts) but I could be wrong. The burger was juicy and filling and the chicken was crispy as well as the mochi waffles. Sweet and savory! read more

Went for Sunday brunch and was very impressed with the food menu. We ordered the spam masubi and tomato egg with popcorn tofu. The portions are decently sized. Service was very friendly. The server and bartender were both very helpful in answering questions about the food and beverages offered. We were seated right away; there was plenty of space in the restaurant and the bar. They also have a patio in the back with a few tables. Overall a great experience and I'll be back to try more menu items. read more

It's been a year since we've been here and it's improved a lot! The menu has expanded, and they've added kid's options. Note: We called a bunch of times to see if they have space for us for brunch, no answer. We mentioned this at the restaurant, they said they don't even have a phone and were wondering if the number was going to the owner's private line? They would bring it up with management. Parking was easy on a rainy December Saturday around 2pm. No wait, and they told us it doesn't get crowded to a point where there's been a wait for brunch (which is SO unusual for such a quality spot in SF!). $90.15 for a meal for 3 adults & 2 kids, before tips. * Pink Slipper cocktail ($16) - 4 stars. Very tasty, well balanced, served up, with a light layer of foam. Could've used more foam. Was a little spirit-forward for me, but I'm a total lightweight. * Musubi ($7) - 4 stars. Really nice little spam musubi with rice, spam, fried egg, avocado. Only complaint is the seaweed holding it together was stale & hard to cut. * Xi Fan ($12) - 4 stars. Such a nostalgic homemade chinese dish to me! Great to have you tiao (savory chinese donuts) mixed with rice porridge, some peanuts, and hot sauce. Not sure if this is a great meal if you don't have the childhood memories to go with it, but I really liked it. * Fried Chicken Sandwich ($16) - 4 stars. Really nice soft brioche bun, juicy chicken with great breading. The vinegar based dip was a nice touch. * Yi-Er-San Kid's Meal ($9) - 3.5 stars. Kids liked the fries but found the chicken spicy (did not taste spicy at all to adults). They liked the juice/milk options. read more

We ordered the mochi waffle, tofu musubi, tomato egg with popcorn tofu, and a carafe of coffee. Everything was delicious and it was the right amount of food for two people. Everything was fresh and amazing. The staff were super nice too. It wasn't too crowded for Sunday brunch, so it was a nice change of pace from super crowded brunch spots. read more

Im actually not sure where to start the experience was so horrid. Food was actually moldy tasting and we both ended up gettin sick. I almost felt like I was on an episode of Gordon Ramsey kitchen nightmares because it really tasted like the water glasses still had salt on them. We got almost everything on the menu and the sesame noodles were not edible they were like glue so thick. No flavor. The smash burger was the moldy item. It tasted off to us and we both took only one bite and it still made us sick after. The chicken Bao was well fried but the sauce was also off and tasted a bit moldy. The poke was fine but the rice tasted like it was three days old and they left it out in the open it was so chewy. I'm not sure rice should be chewy? Really confused about all the good reviews here because this is definitely the worst food I've eaten in some time. Service was just ok. The first waiter sat us and then ignored us for some ladies in the back patio so we had to get someone else to help and order. Good beer list? Definitely would not recommend this place at all. read more

First time here and I came for food specifically (was also happy hour). Nice set up and cool bar top alongside the dining area for inside seating, but they also have a back patio for seating and vibes. I got the smash burger (added a fried egg) with fries and let me say this is one of the best smash burgers I have had in a long time. The flavor has good slices with some added pickled veggies. The ginger was interesting on a burger, but paired greatly. The cheese was melted perfectly the burger was juicy and succulent, and the bun stayed crisp on the skin layer and did not get soggy from the juices. The staff were friendly and held great banter. I will happily come back here for a bite and drinks with friends. read more

I was excited to try this Asian fusion happy hour place for dinner. Came with a group of friends. The cocktails are really cool and unique. Decent happy hour deals. The popcorn chicken was the star of the show. Cucumbers were a bit too chunky for me, and the baos were just okay. What really left a taste was the service.. it wasn't bad. But it wasn't the best. Mainly I felt like one of the hosts/waiters was just unwelcoming vibes right off the bat. The people I came with also agreed. Our orders were taken and everything, but it was really just the vibe from our waiter that made the experience okay.. read more

We stopped by on a Friday night for some drinks and bites and there was a short wait but we were seated pretty quickly. The popcorn chicken was huge and so delicious, and we really enjoyed the cucumber as well. The cocktails were quite strong and super unique, and the baijiu flight was super fun as well. Would definitely come back and I want to try their brunch menu next time! read more

Just left this place and wish I would've read the bad service reviews beforehand. They're spot on. Everyone seemed overwhelmed, disinterested and kinda pissed off to be working there. We watched our beers poured, which then sat at the bar for 15 minutes. I actually wanted to walk over to pick them up myself. The food also took way too long. If the food was amazing, could overlook the bad service. But the food was just okay, not really memorable. They do have some cool hard-to-find Asian beers though. read more

I've been to Rabbit Hole twice now, and I would totally visit again despite how far it is from me. This is the perfect spot to grab bites and drinks with friends, and there's definitely a little something for everyone on the extensive menu. recs: popcorn chicken, fan tuan - Popcorn Chicken: Generous portion size and tastes breaded in potato starch -- the exact dry texture that I like. The chicken itself is super moist and they even include fried basil leaves. - Fan Tuan: Pricy but so good. We all loved this. The sticky rice is sweet and the filling contrasts it well. - Scallion Pancakes: Comes in several shareable slices. Very crispy and savory! - Tomato Egg: Like an inoffensive rice bowl with well-cooked tomato and scrambled eggs. It was a nice balance with all the other savory and oily dishes that we got. The cocktail menu was such a dream with the number of creative Asian-inspired cocktail options. I got a boozy boba that was way stronger than it was sweet, and the staff was nice enough to give me extra brown sugar syrup to balance out the taste. Service was really attentive and considerate! Already looking forward to my next visit here. read more

My fiancé and I tried this place for the first time, & it did not disappoint. If you come get the ribs & the hello kitty cocktail. The cucumbers were on happy hour and they were also very tasty.

We will definitely be coming back. read more

Torn on this one. The food is mediocre, not amazing, not really hitting the spot, but effort is there. If they're trying to exhibit Asian flavors, it's not working. Needs a lil...something from an Asian chef ykno? However, service is amazing and employees are super kind and accommodating. We've sat in the back outdoor patio as well as at the bar. Each time have felt so welcome and workers really made sure we were content with our experience. Cool cocktails and beer selection! Wines are not good here. I tried two glasses of the orange and rose and they both seem to not have kept well in storage or such. read more

Love the brunch! Service is fast and friendly! Love the selection of food and the option to order a pitcher of coffee. Highly recommend the tofu musubi that was my favorite.

Stopped in on New Year's Day and immediately loved the dark, cozy vibe. It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in and take your time. The cocktail "Hello Kitty Is Not a Cat" was a standout. A really well balanced gin based drink and easily my favorite of the night. The menu leans toward shareable plates, which made it easy to try a variety of dishes. We ordered the chicharrones, cucumbers, furikake fries, smash burger with egg, pork belly baos, and popcorn chicken. Everything was flavorful and great for sharing, and I appreciated seeing gluten free options on the menu. Service was friendly and especially helpful with recommendations since it was our first visit. For San Francisco, about $150 for cocktails for four plus plenty of food felt very fair. Great food, good energy, and welcoming staff. I would absolutely go back. read more

We sat in the backyard and enjoyed the atmosphere- you'd never know it had a spacious back area from the street. We came for the gluten free options and the popcorn chicken was absolutely amazing, a must get. I got a smash burger which was an interesting flavor palate, including pickled vegetables, some kind of mayo and a special ketchup- it was a lot of different flavors at once. Lastly, we split the ribs which came with a really interesting kimchi dip. We also got a caffeinated tea which comes by the carafe for sharing. Our server was super sweet and friendly and patient with us as we decided which dishes to choose. I would definitely come back for the cocktails and perhaps a mocktail or two. read more

Loved the name "Rabbit Hole". A friend loved Alice in Wonderland and all I remembered from that story was "going down the rabbit hole." I picked this restaurant mostly because of their name. The other reason was having smash burger. This is no smash burger but a really juicy hugh burger. It had pickled ginger but it looked likesliver of lotus roots. The fries were great with Korean ketchup. Come during happy hour and it's on the menu from 5 on to 6 pm. I love this bar. It had low volume music and I actually hear the conversation.. Fantastic! The drinks look super cute. My co-eater got the fried chicken (dark meat) burger. Looked hugh too. We got hugh chunks of English cucumber as a side. Order of peanut noodles which seemed to be a clump, sticking together like a glob. Need to thin down the sauce. Great service, very respectful and let us talk. Very cool vibes here! read more

First of all the Customer Service from the rabbit hole is outstanding. We wanted to make sure we'd be seated outdoors so I reached out and got a message back if that was fine and to remind them when I got there. When we arrived from an unassuming front the inside is beautiful - spacious, lovely bar to the right but plenty of tables for dining. The outdoor space is no less gracious - plenty of tables, heaters if you need them and great for parties of two up to maybe six. But what really grabbed me was the staff - every single person I dealt with felt like an old friend and welcomed me like I've been there 1 million times before. I commented that I wish they had a place like this in our neighborhood and the server agreed! Every neighborhood needs one! Food and drink. Whatever you want to drink they probably have it. Beer, wine, spirits, not alcoholic, Coffee, Tea, spritzers - I couldn't decide between the cider and the sake but since it was early in the day I went for the cider. And if you like food this is the place to be. (I'm starting to feel like Stefon from SNL.) this place has everything. Popcorn chicken, waffles, steak, bacon eggs, vegan dishes, the best scallion pancakes ever and a bunch of other things for brunch. I definitely want to go back for dinner to have the noodles and the ribeye. You really can't go wrong at this place. Lovely people, lovely place and if you are not too chef from brunch or dinner, there's a great panaderia a couple of doors down... but really don't bother to save room for a pastry, you will be nice and full from your meal at the rabbit hole. read more

I randomly enter this bar for lunch. It expecting much but their food blew my mind. It's Asian Fusion and I had the Xi Fan, which it's similar to Jook or rice porridge. It's flavorful and packs a punch. I added the pork belly which is good but not necessary. The dive bar atmosphere and cool service make it that much better. A total hidden gem! read more

We have gone to Rabbit Hole several times and we really like the menu and the food. If this review was just for food I would rate it with five stars. On the flip side, the restaurant is understaffed and we've had a few less than average service. Last night, in particular, four of us went, ordered food and drinks. Most of our food was delivered before our drinks arrived. I reminded the server that we didn't have our drinks, and she replied that they were backed up. I then saw our drinks on the bar so I got up and retrieved them myself. Then the check came before all our food was delivered. Because of this experience I will no longer go if it's busy unless the understaffing is corrected. read more

Came here for dinner! Saw the staff be friendly and very sweet to this elderly man who was alone. Ordered the tofu bao, veggie noodles, bok choy and cucumbers.

Good ambiance and not too loud! read more

What a brilliant find. Rabbit Hole serves an unexpectedly fantastic Taiwanese American fusion menu, and everything we tried hit the mark. The service was genuinely impeccable, and the drinks list was just as strong. We ordered the peanut sesame noodles, jicama salad, smashed cucumbers, popcorn chicken, and the happy hour burger with fries. The burger was a steal at fifteen dollars, and every dish delivered big flavour. The total came to about sixty dollars for the food, and we still took home two generous boxes, so the value was excellent. The hot sauce is a must try, and the gochujang ketchup was fantastic. We were too full to attempt dessert, which tells you everything about how much we ate. The space has a relaxed, family friendly feel, with a mix of families and date night tables, and the staff were incredibly warm and helpful. The whole vibe is easy, inviting, and very San Francisco in the best way. We loved it and will absolutely be back. Highly recommended. read more
