KAIYŌ Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

Hands down my favorite date night spot in SF. Flew in town during Memorial Day weekend and I had to check this place out. The ambiance was modern yet cozy, and the attention to detail in both presentation and flavor was impeccable.

My girlfriend and I started at Kaiyo Rooftop and then came down here; instant regret. We should've started the experience at the ground floor restaurant and then make our way up to the rooftop, which oversees all of SOMA.

I had the Shishido Peppers and the Miso-Butter Corn followed by oysters and Uni, but the true mouthwatering item was the A5 Wagyu Sando with Caviar! So bomb!! Each bite-sized piece was perfectly toasted, stuffed with succulent beef, and topped with a generous dollop of caviar. The delicate balance of flavors and textures was a testament to the chef's expertise. This dish alone is worth the visit!

The exceptional cocktails and food were matched by the outstanding service. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure that every detail of our dining experience was perfect. Special mention goes to Aaron, who was so fun to talk to and incredibly helpful. His recommendations and enthusiasm added an extra layer of enjoyment...

We went as a group of 6. The tables are long for large groups which does make serving and sitting inaccessible and difficult. The service was wonderful. Mathias made jokes and kept things light. Drinks: Drinks pictured are a an old fashion and pink rose. The old fashion lacked flavor and color. The rose was golden lacking the pink tint and flavor. Food: The food was okay but also lacked certain components. The pork chop needed a bit more than butter as seasoning. While still a bit moist, chimichurri is not the only topping needed. rib eye (we got cooked medium well) was the best part of the meal with bold flavors. The bone was charred and tasted burnt. Yucca fries- overcooked and bland

Overall: Negative: lacking flavor, flat plates leading to butter all over the table and us, sides seperate, and drinks weren't the...

Absolutely dynamite food! My taste buds were happy and satisfied. The gentleman who welcomed us in, gave us great recommendations, and we devoured the food after the first bite so no pictures.

I ordered the Anticucho de Lomo Fino w/ Brussel Sprouts. The Brussel Sprouts were made to perfection: not overly roasted or having a burned taste. Yet, flavorful and roasted to perfection. It left my palette feeling clean and refreshed. Perhaps, that squeeze a bit of lemon juice over them to finish them off?

My sister order the same dish with Papas Fritas! The fries were seasoned well with red pepper flakes offering a great balance between spicy and salty.

We’re considering returning for another great experience.

We didn’t visit the rooftop however it...
