The 12 Best Restaurants In The Lower Haight

"The best omakase restaurant in the city is hiding in plain sight on a quiet stretch of Divisadero. Ken only has seven seats, but don’t be intimidated by the close quarters—a meal here is all about sharing dog walker recommendations with a couple two stools over while chef Ken hands you simple, soy-brushed nigiri with vinegary rice. Over the course of the night, you’ll learn fun facts about aging toro, hear anecdotes about the sake glassware, and devour non-sushi small plates like poached ikura in an ume and rock sugar bath we’d slurp on loop. At $225 per person for 15 courses, you’re not wandering in here on a whim after an afternoon of shopping on Haight, so save this place for your next big-deal date or milestone birthday. " - ricky rodriguez, lani conway, julia chen 1
