Japantown Restaurants

State Bird Provisions exceeded all expectations. The restaurant was moderately noisy, however, it wasn’t so loud that I couldn’t hear myself think. Lots of people were enjoying the excellent food and service provided by the attentive staff, and my wife and I were two of the lucky people dining here. It was our 8-year wedding anniversary, which made the evening extra special. I highly recommend dining here, as it will most definitely be a memorable experience. Lots of variety and both a dim sum offering and traditional menu of food offerings. This place is popular, so make a reservation in advance.

The Progress never disappoints. We sat at the bar for a pre birthday celebration and had the best time. First, if you get to have the pleasure of Brent the bartender and server was outstanding in every sense. While making tons of cocktails, he was able to guide us through the menu and pick the best choices for our meal - all with a beautiful grin. The food is above excellent, imaginative, well prepared and presented. Service staff is efficient and just the right amount of friendly. A definite go to!

We sat outside and it was quiet and the heaters kept us warm. Delicious food, a nicely priced glass of wine (for San Francisco) and excellent recommendations and service from the wait staff

The food quality at Octavia is very high. The chefs really know what they’re doing. We had a pre-fixe menu for Christmas Eve dinner and they accommodated dietary restrictions with advanced notice. They actually called a few days in advance of the reservation to confirm the dietary restrictions which was really nice. We had 9 courses I think and they were all delicious. My favorites were the soup and the pasta dishes. The service was also very good, the servers were very attending and accommodating. There was one dish I didn’t eat much of because it had radicchio in it which I don’t like, and our server offered to have the kitchen make me a replacement dish with a different lettuce instead. The only negative of Octavia is that it feels very cramped. The space is small and they squeeze in a lot of tables so you’re sitting basically on top of other diners and it’s a little awkward. Everything else was great though. I would definitely recommend Octavia as a good place for special occasions or bringing out of town visitors.

I love Ferm Lab …it’s like home…hahaha , whether they like it or not . Can’t fail with the Happy Hour Menu= Chicken Sliders , Duck fat French fries , Bees Knees cocktail My new favorite must have is the Poke w Taro Chips
