Nari San Francisco Reviews
Ok but disappointing.
We had the sweetbreads, eggplant curry, and squid and pork jowl and cocktails. The cocktails were excellent and innovative. However, the sweetbreads were way overcooked and the little pepper slices were so hot they killed the rest of the flavors. Ho
The food was absolutely incredible.
Every dish was delicious, and our server was very friendly and attentive. However, for a $200+ meal, the pacing felt rushed. We were in and out in about an hour, and we weren't allowed to order appetizers separately from our mains, and everythin
Tried the tasting menu.
Thoughts on it: Presentation was amazing The servers were all very attentive and explained the courses before serving Good portions Left very full and happy Worth the price:)
Amazing flavours and lots of spice Standout dishes for me
Amazing flavours and lots of spice Standout dishes for me were the gang bumbai aubergine (crispy eggplant in spicy bumbai curry), and the squid and pork jowl with sticky rice. They are not playing with the spiciness, I was crying while eating the e
Honestly couldn't have been more disappointed.
We had a big group dinner there and portions were tiny and I couldn't think of one memorable dish as I'm typing this. So many better food options in this city, no joke papa John's is one of them. Service lacking too, didn't feel w

Service: Our experience began with the host, who greeted us with a straight face and asked if we had a reservation. Since he represents the first impression of the restaurant, a warmer and more welcoming approach would have made a big difference. Alt

Some of the best curry - the eggplant red curry was so delicious I'm still thinking about it. Overall the food is great, the restaurant itself is gorgeous and our server was so funny and personable. The squid and pork jowl was so so good esp
Michelin Star??
We booked Nari with high expectations, but the food and the concept were questionable. Most of the food was spicy more for the sake of being spicy than for actually having good flavors. We would’ve been better off going to a traditional Thai restau

For a special occasion, my companion surprised me by taking us to Nari. Nari has been high on my list for numerous reasons--it has a Michelin star, it's the sister restaurant to Kin Khao (where we've dined before), and he and I both enjoy T

I didn't know I enjoy fancier Thai food until I been to Nari. Been a few times and never disappoints. My go to every time is the squid and pork. It's a MUST! I love their curries and it changes once in a while. I really like the grilled
Words can't even describe how amazing Nari is! The waitress
Words can't even describe how amazing Nari is! The waitress was helpful in her recommendations and was transparent about spice levels. Definitely love spice but if you don't I would pass on the eggplant curry and get the fried fish. However
We expected the price to be expensive but so as the quality.
We ordered shrimp, flavourful, but hard to eat because they have small tails but large heads. They leave shells and heads on and they were not very crunchy so they stab your gums and they are sharp! Not a good way to start a meal. Next, the spicy rib
My experience dining here was absolutely incredible.
I ordered their mango lassi with pandan whipped cream which was so delicious. Their curry was one of my favorites. It was so flavorful and the lamb was very tender. We came for a birthday and they had custom menus which was an unexpected nice detail.

Food - Naem Khao Tod: huge fan of crispy rice salad dishes, so I always order them when I see it on the menu. This one leans more on the aromatic (specifically ginger) vs others I've had which I enjoyed. It does lean salty, so I would balance it

we got a really nice table a bit separated from other tables so it wasn't too noisy. our server was accommodating and polite--e.g., initially we requested vegan recommendations and he suggested some, but later he informed us that one of them had
Always a 10.
Service is phenomenal. Some of my favorite bites in the city still. Easy for every occasion.
No dietary accommodations
Parties of 5 or more must do tasting menu and they make no dietary accommodations. We had non-picky vegetarians but this was unacceptable. We left so this review is about their process not the actual food.

I think this place is decent but a bit underwhelming in my opinion. I think the food is good but I think I expected more as a Michelin restaurant. We ordered 4 dishes and 3 drinks; the rib eye was very good. The yellowtail dish was not good, SUPER SO
Delicious Thai fusion meal
While the setting was great with excellent service, the highlight was the meal. Everything was delicious! Outstanding mix of creative flavors! Well deserved Michelin star, will definitely come back.

I made a last minute reservation for 2 on a Tuesday evening at 6PM to celebrate a girl friend's birthday. The restaurant is located inside, next to Hotel Kabuki's lobby in Japantown. Upon arrival, we were greeted promptly by the host, thoug

Amazing food and service.
Shout out to Brian. Chef's tasting option is the way to go!
Came here with my mom for a Sunday night dinner.
The restaurant was hidden to the left side of the hotel and we were seated quickly at a corner table. The overall vibe was chic and clean. The wait staff were all very attentive and friendly. We wanted to try more vegetable heavy dishes so we got m
Came here for dinner and had an amazing meal.
The star was definitely the pork jowl. The fat was light and crispy and sweet. It was chewy on the outside, and the inside was soft and melts in your mouth and was full of flavor. And there was a slight acidity from the lime to cut the grease. Each b
Food is unique, more fusion than Thai.
Very small portions. Had fish sauce cabbage, egg plant and fish and a salad. A bit disappointed that they didn't have several of the dishes I saw photos of on yelp, and not even the typical Thai paratha/roti we always order with any Thai meal.
I have eaten here 3 times in total.
The first two times we were a party of 4 and we had amazing meals. Recently I had a dinner for 12 in the semi private room near the kitchen. The food and service was amazing. I had frustrations with the events manager who did not seem on top
We had a phenomenal meal here for our anniversary dinner.
I made a reservation about a week before. Our waiter was wonderful, but everyone at the hostess stand was not friendly or welcoming. I checked in and they didn't seat me until my fiancé was present, even though I said he was just in the restroo
Overpriced and Obnoxiously Trendy
A few hours before my reservation on a Sunday in October, I received an email asking me to come in an hour early. I agreed, and we entered the restaurant at 8:00. To my dismay, despite my favor, the dude at the front sat us at the worst table in th
Michelin Stars No Longer Have Value
Michelin needs its head examined for giving this place a star. While the food is tasty, nothing else about the experience connoted quality. Numerous times, the wait for cocktails was over 25 minutes. The restaurant is serviced by a bar upstairs which
Amazing Meal
Phenomenal flavors. Super unique take on traditional Thai food. Family style dining but the portions weren’t obnoxiously large. Lamb shank was the most amazing lamb I’ve ever had. Great cocktail program. Service was friendly. I’d come back.
Disappointing
The food was underwhelming for a mi Helen one star restaurant. Didn’t feel fresh or special. The service was ok. The ambiance was too loud. The acoustics in the space were terrible.
SUBTRACT! Oof.
So...I did not, NOT like it but I definitely will not come back. It is an insult to the Michelin population and definitely NOT worthy. There was a minimum of 98 flavors in each bite. Seriously, how many flavors do I need in my mouth at the same tim
We went to Nari's for our anniversary.
The ambiance of the place was very urban garden. There were beautiful, luscious plants everywhere with exposed walls. Since it was our anniversary our menus had a little note on it for us. The server was a gem. Super quick to answer questions. Being
Very flavorful and all the dishes were great.
The favorite was the eggplant curry. The fish appetizer is also delicious.

We sat early before the restaurant filled and enjoyed everything we ate, but uneven service. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable but intense and moving. Food and drink delivery from others was by committee and uneven. Ambience was airy, leafy and

TLDR: In the iconic salt, fat, acid, heat theory to cooking, Nari adds that incredible acidity to its dishes like no other restaurant I've experienced. This was one of the first meals I've had in a long time that made me truly go "WOW", dis
Way too spicy coupled with poor service
Way too spicy. Was taken here as a surprise for my birthday by my fiance. I can handle some spice. This food was on another level. Absolutely zero warning from the waiter about the spice level of any dish. Barely ate. Fiance who has strong spice tole
Have your Tum Tums ready
I was highly recommended this place so decided to pop up for an early dinner. First choice - aubergine - i was told by my waiter it was spicey so i moved on to seafood wrapped in bamboo leaf. He said nothing so i thought, great, it's a safe choice. W

We invited close friends of ours to join us for a delicious Thai meal at Nari. I'm not sure they'll be friends with us after that disaster of a meal. The food was just plain bad. I'd say it was the saltiest meal I've ever had in my life. I really ca

Connect with users posting reservations for Nari San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nari 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 Nari 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 Nari 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
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Nari 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 PerceptiveWash44 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, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44'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 Nari 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.
