Best Casual Restaurants in Western Addition

Great lunch experience and they have a huge menu and lots of options for lunch sets. If you don't want to do hibachi they have lunch options with sushi, sashimi, poke, and even noodles. Everyone found something for them and enjoyed lunch together.

The "dim sum" small dishes are delicious, innovative, surprising. And they keep on coming. The servers are so friendly, so efficient, and so obviously proud to work at the restaurant. That alone would keep us coming back. PS: wine isn't and can't be the primary issue at a restaurant with these amazing tastes, but their wine is good and really complements the meal.

Food and service was amazing. Karaoke rooms were clean and you could be as loud as you want! Definitely would come back.

I was excited to check out this new place in Japantown and it did not disappoint. We had duck tacos and pork belly Benedict & they were delicious! Duck tacos were my favorite - savory and complex. The menu is mostly Asian fusion and the kimchi is house made (obvs in the name) and sooo good. Who knew kimchi & hollandaise combine to delicious effect. Cocktails were great too. Best of all was the server. So kind, friendly, and super fast. Also, we went for brunch and there was an entire baby group in there and it was not even loud. So everyone go check out the Fermentation Lab!!

I’ve been to Anchovies Bar on numerous occasions and ALL of it, from the food, service and ambiance, it is top of the line. It’s anchovy season so get there now if you want a real”party in your mouth” experience! The anchovies were incredible and Chef Stuart brings them up to a whole different level w/his amazing and delicious recipes. HIGHLY recommend this place, you’ll be a return customer, it’s all about the seafood!
