Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in Japan Town! My sister had been raving about this place for awhile and convinced me to go today. Needless to say, everything was gorgeous and amazing down to the presentation, taste, service and decor! I ordered the Loco Moco and my sister ordered the squid ink pasta. The Katsu Loco Moco was crunchy and the sauces blended well together (miso and gorgonzola sauce). The egg was perfectly cooked with a sprinkle of furikake. The squid ink was creamy and the garlic flavor came through. I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there. Will definitely be back!

I went last night for the first time, I just wanted to go somewhere for unique cocktails at Fermentation Lab was perfect for that. The inside of the place feels very chicly decorated, and we had a very attentive server. The cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had, specifically the lychee martini was amazing if you like a sweet balanced drink. The price is a little unfortunate but it is to be expected in san francisco and feels warranted given the upscale atmosphere. Our server, Adrian, was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel right at home, and was incredibly informative about their offerings. He recommended a sake that I loved after asking questions on what I like/dislike in other sakes Ive tried, and also didn’t feel like he was trying to upsell. Would absolutely for the lovely drinks, perfect location (very convenient to get to and surrounded by cheaper karaoke bars so you can have a nice drink followed by cheap drinks and fun), and excellent service.
