"Sofiya is one of the few Uzbek restaurants in the city. The dining room is filled with comfortable booths and chairs, including two lofted tapchans, each with a large table that can fit all of the food you need to order here. The puffy khachapuri topped with a smearable egg yolk is a must, along with the tender plov and savory pumpkin manti. As an added bonus, the Central Asian spot is one of the few sit-downs in this part of Nob Hill open until 10pm on weekdays." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
