Restaurant Nisei San Francisco Reviews
Nisei is another great modern Japanese restaurant where
Nisei is another great modern Japanese restaurant where both the food and the space are artfully designed. Every dish feels thoughtful and beautifully crafted. Great place to impress someone. That said, portion sizes lean on the lighter side, so some
All three Food Service and Ambiance were exceptional.
It's on the pricey side but if you can afford it you'll have a wonderful experience.

Delicious food in a beautiful setting.
We were in the private back room for an event. The high ceilings and decor gave it an intimate and luxurious feel. Perfect for special occasions. The food was stellar - from the karage chicken to the goat cheese infused shishitos to the delicate de

Hubby made reservations for seating at the bar and we thoroughly enjoyed the night. Service was top notch and was nothing short of what a Michelin starred restaurant should be. The food was delicious and innovative. I loved all the homage they paid t

Love the emphasis on a seasonal menu.
Everything tasted super fresh. My favorite dishes were 1. the dessert tree cake, which was super unique, 2. the fish on a cracker and 3. the pine nut soup. The service was amazing. Everyone was attentive and charming. Overall really enjoyed the exper
Every dish was fragrant, some actually did contain flowers.
It was a very enjoyable meal. The corn dish was exquisite and absolutely yummy, texture and flavor. The salt water eel is really good, flaky and very very tender. The pine nut soup is a staple, with marinated pine nuts, cauliflower mushroom wit

My second time here.
The chef thinks so out of the box. Every dish is so thoughtful and incredible. The staff are so kind. Great experience. Worth the price and then some!

A few years prior, I was already impressed with Nisei's unique Japanese-American tasting menu that offered a fresh perspective on California cuisine. During my last visit, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much the menu had matured. Not only were

What an experience! Dining at Nisei was quite nice - loved the food. The majority of the food was delicious, the presentation gorgeous. The sourdough mochi? AMAZING. it was my favorite thing. So worth getting the caviar add on. But if you get it, don
Had a birthday dinner at this place, undoubtedly amazing
Had a birthday dinner at this place, undoubtedly amazing experience so far. The food was great and interesting. We had a lot of fun experiencing all the courses. My favorite dish was the sukiyaki A5 with the raw egg yolk! I felt like I was in Japan.
I've heard hit or miss things about this place but the menu
I've heard hit or miss things about this place but the menu has always intrigued me. Finally tried this place and although all the dishes didn't knock it out of the park for me...80% of them did. The menu was creative, inventive, floral and oh so pre

Just a little bit of a disappointing experience from the food aspect. Service and ambiance were fine, and the dishes looked really pretty and seemed to be thoughtful. Unfortunately, all of the dishes appealed visually way more than taste-wise. Ever
What an amazing place.
Our first time, the experience and taste was great. There's not much that interest me more in life then to finding a gem restaurants like this. Highly recommend.

Dined here at Nisei on 3/7/2024 - One of the best dining experiences I have had in recent memory. The food and presentation were excellent. The service from the staff especially Natalie and Sophia our servers were outstanding. I wish I could remember
Every creative, unexpected dish Nisei served surprised me.
Yet once I tasted them, I knew they were exactly how they should be. The dinner expanded what I understand can be done with food. It is clearly rooted in Japanese tradition, yet feels cutting edge and contemporary. 3,4 or 5 different flavors are
Love our experience here.
Staff was so accommodating and warm whenever they came to our table. They were so knowledgeable about each dish and each question we had. Love that everything had a little story. The restaurant is small and dark but the tables were lit just right. I

Another fantastic fine dining experience in San Francisco.
A set of small and beautiful, flavor-first dishes fusing Japan with California. However, subtlety was the key in each. My friend said the pine miso soup was the best soup he had anywhere. The scallops reminded me of a similar dish at Kiln. The fried

I went here for my 30th birthday and can't imagine a better location to celebrate it. Amazing food (taste and presentation), service staff is so warm and welcoming. We sat at the chef's counter and it was so fun to see the action in the kitchen.
Unique atmosphere, unique food, and great staff.
We went for an anniversary and had a wonderful time. Drinks were fantastic and a work of art. I will say some ingredients on the dinner menu, if you are a picky eater, will not be for you. But I'd encourage you to keep an open mind. There is no bette

Service is for sure undefeated.
Natalie was amazing. Such a kind and attentive waitress. The food was yummy. 11 courses to power through. An impressive place to take your date to!
Make time for the experience.
With 11 courses in the standard prix fixe dinner and plenty of add-ons like caviar and wagyu, the experience is a delightful blend of artistic creativity, presentation and tastes. The overall theme is seafood ranging from a scallop themed course to
The food was extremely lackluster to us.
There were ideas, but nothing stood out for anyone of us in the group. We felt that while service was good, it couldn't make up for the many misses we had for our dishes. I even made a comment that one of the dishes wasn't bad -- it turned out to be

Our parents are Nisei, and so this inventive homage to the delicious simplicity of Japanese American cooking was something we wanted to experience. We were not disappointed! Everything was wonderful from the impeccable service, to the exquisite din
One of my favorite ever Michelin dinners.
I have been here twice, once before it received its star and once after. Both times I was very happy with the service and food. This place has a great seasonal tasting menu and a delicious wine pairing. Maybe I'm biased because I prefer whites and th
Connect with users posting reservations for Restaurant Nisei San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Restaurant Nisei San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Restaurant Nisei San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Restaurant Nisei San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Restaurant Nisei San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Restaurant Nisei San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
