San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Japantown Restaurants
|
|
|
With over thirty Japanese restaurants packed into a small neighborhood, not to mention the traditional Japanese Kabuki Spa and several karaoke bars, Japantown, also known as Nihonmachi, continues to be the epicenter of Japanese culture in San Francisco and California's largest Japantown. With the requisite Benihana for birthday parties and an AMC movie theatre all within the three-block stretch of Japantown Center, Japantown dining comes hand in hand with entertainment. The signature Japantown Center features plenty of shopping, including kimonos and a Japanese bookstore packed with the world's leading fashion magazines and anime comics, to keep visitors hungry for the many sushi and noodle houses readily available.
Cafe Kati
1963 Sutter St. Tel. 415.775.7313
$$. A little place, dimly lit, with home-style American food, featuring flavors borrowed creatively from Japan, Italy and elsewhere. |
Isobune
1737 Post. Tel. 415.563.1030
It's a chain of tourist sushi restaurants, and the food sails by on boats. But the sushi, which is pretty much all you can get here (except for sake and T-shirts), is good quality and a good deal, and the boats are about as good as restaurant entertainment gets. |
