The Best Dishes Eater San Francisco’s Editors Ate in August | Eater SF

"On my return to this new restaurant from chef James Yeun Leong Parry, the standout was the crab rice roll: rice rolls arrive swimming in sauce and salmon roe, and a server snips the noodles with scissors for easy sharing. The “gravy” is a seafood-laced, umami-packed sauce punctuated by pops of caviar, and the delicate-but-bouncy rice rolls hold their own against it; I’m already planning to order it again. Bonus: If you love fried sesame dumplings, don’t skip the mochi rocher for dessert." - Paolo Bicchieri
