Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Chinatown

This is for the night of the Chinese New Year parade, so it was very quiet inside an Italian restaurant adjacent to Chinatown. The servers were very attentive. The food was delicious. The desserts looked fabulous, but we were too full. We enjoyed our drinks, thought the complimentary bread was tasty, and devoured our 2 entrees: steak with lobster ravioli and branzino. Would love a whole fish option, but still, delicious food in a nice, spacious room.

Great food. The duck was delicious as was the fire cracker chicken.

We went for valentines, great experience! We’re seated immediately, food came out quickly & was very good. Plus one of the best espresso martinis in SF!

I wanted to bring my cousin here to try the food, and I was very lucky to land a reservation when I was notified of an opening two days before the date that I requested. Also, the staff was very accommodating and allowed me to add one more person to my party just two hours before my reservation…👌🏻! The food was great!😋!

You need to do the Omakase. My wife and I flew up for the day on a cheap flight and explored the city and you will not be disappointed with the Omakase experience especially if you sit and the dining counter over a table! Presentation, taste, and ambiance were all amazing. You will be taken care of! Thank you for everything Roka Akor and making my wife’s birthday special. I will fly back up just to visit again!
