The Best Things Infatuation SF Writers Ate In May 2025 - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"By day, you’ll find fantastic coffee and tea drinks at this SoMa Japanese spot, and at night, it becomes a restaurant with a flawless uni and sweet shrimp donburi. Gently nudge the jewel-like jammy yolk in the center and stir it throughout the entire bowl to bind everything together. The uni has the texture of a warm pad of butter, and the shrimp has a barely-there chew before melting in your mouth. Just take a big scoop, cradle it in a toasted sheet of nori, and take a moment to appreciate your handiwork before eating. Whether you go during the day or at dinnertime, we suggest getting a reservation. Walk-ins are accepted for cafe and restaurant hours, but you may end up sharing a booth or having to stand at the bar. The good news is that reservations, particularly before 7pm and after 9pm, are easy to snag just a day in advance." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, julia chen 1, patrick wong, julia chen 1, patrick wong, julia chen 1, julia chen 1, patrick wong, patrick wong, patrick wong, julia chen 1, patrick wong, julia chen 1, patrick wong, julia chen 1, patrick wong
