Best Seasonal Restaurants in Civic Center / Hayes Valley / Van Ness

Joyous experience. Our third or fourth time here, fabulous food and service each time. Maz and Jordan are extremely attentive and friendly. The dishes are exquisite and delicious. The Taste of the ocean dish is a must. So good. The menu changes seasonally, with some staples on there year round.

Amazing food and great service! We highly recommend!

Dining at Hayes Street Grill always feels like being with family! Everyone is so nice and the atmosphere is always so warm! I do have to add that after several years of dining there that they can update or tweak their menu a little bit.

Every dish was crafted beautifully! Each morsel delicious! Such a unique and tasty meal! Service impeccable! Will come back! Would like to see more Napa reds on the wine menu and higher rates wines.

Have you ever dreamed about having a meal where everything was perfect? Have you ever thought, I would love to taste Waygu beef and have it melt in my mouth? Do you have someone special in your life who you want to have a once in a lifetime dining experience? You will have all these things happen, and more, when you choose Yakiniku Shodai. I can say without hesitation, this was one of the best, if not the best dinners I’ve ever experienced. Yes, there will be sticker shock, but this isn’t Sizzler. Go ahead and live life. You will never ever regret you did this for yourself and the person(s) you love. Thank you Shodai, for the meal, experience, evening of a lifetime.
