Ask Eater: Where Can I Find Excellent Octopus at San Francisco Restaurants? - Eater SF
"Nara, with locations on Haight Street and Polk Street, represents a whole other side of the octopus game. The Japanese restaurant’s Haight location offers four panko-fried tako balls for $13. The octopus cooks sous-vide for six hours and is then combined in a ball with truffle mashed potato, diced onions, mushrooms, and jalapeno before being deep-fried. The crunchy, fried snack gets a sprinkling of bonito flakes on top. (The Polk Street outpost offers a similar dish for just $8.)" - Paolo Bicchieri
