Restaurants near San Francisco Zen Center

Excellent lunch, excellent cocktails, warm and thoughtful service. Our server asked right away if we were going to a performance and made sure we got there on time, without any sense of rushing. Highly recommend!

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!

We had a pre-theater dinner. Seated promptly at reservation time. Orange and beet salad was a perfect combo I wouldn't have thought of. Both mains were very good. The mushrooms on the risotto stood out. Tables are close, but this is a city after all.

Nakama delivers some of the best sushi and dining experience you can get, and I say this as someone who loves sushi and has been to Japan over 50 times. My wife and I went there for dinner before a show and got the omakase. Our server Ben was super friendly/personable and attentive while also being subtle and discreet along with the rest of the staff. The food was amazing. Our favorite was the fresh sea scallop sashimi that was so delicately sweet and complex. But we also liked or loved everything else including the tuna sushi, which was the best we had ever had, barracuda sushi, their uni from Japan with roe from Scotland, and many others. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The sushi is as good or better than anything you can get in Japan or other great sushi restaurants in the US (LA, NYC, etc.). And our server Ben helped to put them over the top. Go there and you will have an amazing meal and experience.
