   It was a beautiful experience, so much flavor with a lovely combination of different textures and ingredients. Marvelous service they were all very sweet and nice.

   I’ve been there a few times and Chef Yoshimura always come out to greet us. Service is always great, makes you feel at home. Food is innovative with good presentation and well prepared. A place that deserves our attention and appreciation!

   Fantastic. The team elevates multiple common, more humble Japanese dishes while retaining their warmth. Ochazuke, omurice, Dungeness crab and miso soup are my favorites. The last dessert dish with pear is also excellent

   We had such a wonderful time celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. Our servers were very nice & warm. I love that they have conversations with us and chime in from time to time. It definitely gave a very homey feel compared to all the other Michelin experiences that we have gone to where our servers don’t tend to make convo’s with the guest. Overall, it was amazing. The food was beautiful!

   Our experience at Nisei was phenomenal. It was our last night of our honeymoon, and the team and Chef David ensured that everything was an incredible experience from the moment we walked in. The food was so delicious, beautifully plated, and many times very surprising. The team recommended a sake for us to try to ensure it met our taste expectations before purchasing it. The entire experience lasted about 3 hours, and we left there ready to plan our anniversary trip back to San Francisco just to enjoy Nisei again. We wholeheartedly recommend Nisei to anyone looking for an amazing culinary adventure.

   From the moment you walk through the doors, you're met with a beautiful modern room that is perfectly decorated with Japanese flower arrangements. The persimmons hanging down from one of the tables is stunning. Every server seemed to be doing a perfectly choreographed dance, as they moved across each table delivering beverages, different courses, or simply providing new utensils. Definitely an experience that I won't forget. The little bites were small in size but big in flavor. They were all perfectly plated with such attention to detail. My favorite dish, one that the chef wasn't sure about, was the omurice. I joked that I was having a "Ratatouille" moment with that first bite. Being taken back to childhood and just eating a bowl of rice for lunch. Everyone was so knowledgeable and so very friendly. Natalie, our main server was so sweet and such a blast to be around. She even knew the brand of the drinkware!

   “20% service fee is not inclusive of gratuity” - what is someone supposed to do? Tip another 20% on top of that? The server said explicitly it was not gratuity. Never going back.
