"At the top of the Hyatt Place in SoMa is Kaiyo Rooftop (sister spot to Kaiyo), a Peruvian-Japanese restaurant surrounded by a panorama of the city. You’re here to get into a spread of Nikkei dishes, like karaage with rocoto aioli or wagyu nigiri with lomo saltado sauce, and sip on cocktails in glasses shaped like a woman’s head. You should reserve a table ahead of time if you’re looking to do a full meal here, since it’s one of the sceniest and booked-up places to do a dressed-up dinner in the area. But if you’re just looking to drink while staring out at the skyline, they take walk-ups at the bar." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
