7 Bay Area Restaurant Openings to Know This Summer

"This fall, Japan’s master chef Onishi Yuki will debut the first American outpost of his Tokyo-based ramen restaurant Tsuta in San Francisco’s downtown shopping mall, The Metreon (as of last week, the Metreon said no lease has yet been signed). Chef Yuki first served his signature truffle-oil-infused shoyu soba noodles and dashi-shoyu broths in a Tokyo suburb in 2012. In 2015, the Tokyo outpost received one Michelin star, which led the team to open two new locations in Singapore and now one in the United States. The team has its eyes set on additional locations, including in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and a possible second location in San Francisco (set to debut in Stonestown Galleria)." - Marguerite Imbert
