Rintaro

“possibly san fransisco's best izakaya, in one of its prettiest spaces. big 'locals' energy here, especially at the bar.”

“Best restaurant in sf”

“The best yakitori in SF. Real binchotan.”

“always the first place I check when I want to go to dinner. Never available”

“Rintaro is a Japanese izakaya with a California soul, where smoky dishes take tradition and give it a nice twist. The people behind it are impossibly warm, you feel like you’ve stumbled into your own secret haunt, albeit one that demands a reservation.”
