Always a 10.
Service is phenomenal. Some of my favorite bites in the city still. Easy for every occasion.

I think this place is decent but a bit underwhelming in my opinion. I think the food is good but I think I expected more as a Michelin restaurant. We ordered 4 dishes and 3 drinks; the rib eye was very good. The yellowtail dish was not good, SUPER SO

I made a last minute reservation for 2 on a Tuesday evening at 6PM to celebrate a girl friend's birthday. The restaurant is located inside, next to Hotel Kabuki's lobby in Japantown. Upon arrival, we were greeted promptly by the host, thoug

My husband and I came here on a Monday night as a party of five. We'd made a reservation prior to coming and we were seated as soon as our entire party was at the restaurant. The restaurant is really beautifully decorated, with sleek dark furni
Amazing food and service.
Shout out to Brian. Chef's tasting option is the way to go!
Came here with my mom for a Sunday night dinner.
The restaurant was hidden to the left side of the hotel and we were seated quickly at a corner table. The overall vibe was chic and clean. The wait staff were all very attentive and friendly. We wanted to try more vegetable heavy dishes so we got m
Came here for dinner and had an amazing meal.
The star was definitely the pork jowl. The fat was light and crispy and sweet. It was chewy on the outside, and the inside was soft and melts in your mouth and was full of flavor. And there was a slight acidity from the lime to cut the grease. Each b
Food is unique, more fusion than Thai.
Very small portions. Had fish sauce cabbage, egg plant and fish and a salad. A bit disappointed that they didn't have several of the dishes I saw photos of on yelp, and not even the typical Thai paratha/roti we always order with any Thai meal.
I have eaten here 3 times in total.
The first two times we were a party of 4 and we had amazing meals. Recently I had a dinner for 12 in the semi private room near the kitchen. The food and service was amazing. I had frustrations with the events manager who did not seem on top
We had a phenomenal meal here for our anniversary dinner.
I made a reservation about a week before. Our waiter was wonderful, but everyone at the hostess stand was not friendly or welcoming. I checked in and they didn't seat me until my fiancรฉ was present, even though I said he was just in the restroo
SUBTRACT! Oof.
So...I did not, NOT like it but I definitely will not come back. It is an insult to the Michelin population and definitely NOT worthy. There was a minimum of 98 flavors in each bite. Seriously, how many flavors do I need in my mouth at the same tim
We went to Nari's for our anniversary.
The ambiance of the place was very urban garden. There were beautiful, luscious plants everywhere with exposed walls. Since it was our anniversary our menus had a little note on it for us. The server was a gem. Super quick to answer questions. Being
Very flavorful and all the dishes were great.
The favorite was the eggplant curry. The fish appetizer is also delicious.

The food excellent, service intense and ambiance okay l.
We sat early before the restaurant filled and enjoyed everything we ate, but uneven service. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable but intense and moving. Food and drink delivery from others was by committee and uneven. Ambience was airy, leafy and

Truly delicious.
We got the chef's tasting menu and every single dish was amazing. This food is powerful, bright, and spicy. All things I love. Literally could not have improved upon the meal.

TLDR: In the iconic salt, fat, acid, heat theory to cooking, Nari adds that incredible acidity to its dishes like no other restaurant I've experienced. This was one of the first meals I've had in a long time that made me truly go "WOW", dis
Way too spicy coupled with poor service
Way too spicy. Was taken here as a surprise for my birthday by my fiance. I can handle some spice. This food was on another level. Absolutely zero warning from the waiter about the spice level of any dish. Barely ate. Fiance who has strong spice tole
Have your Tum Tums ready
I was highly recommended this place so decided to pop up for an early dinner. First choice - aubergine - i was told by my waiter it was spicey so i moved on to seafood wrapped in bamboo leaf. He said nothing so i thought, great, it's a safe choice. W

We invited close friends of ours to join us for a delicious Thai meal at Nari. I'm not sure they'll be friends with us after that disaster of a meal. The food was just plain bad. I'd say it was the saltiest meal I've ever had in my life. I really ca

A Spicy Encounter at Nari

They literally stole money from me.
I had the most horrible experience. Tables are all crammed next to each other. Hence, there is no privacy. The party next to us was incredibly obnoxious. They would even look at what my wife was looking at on her phone and make comments about it. The

as a devout fangirl of the restaurant's owner since the chez pim days, I was really excited to eat at nari and check this dining experience off my bucket list. the ambiance is orientalist hotel, understandable given the restaurant's literal location.
A fun but expensive adventure!
I love tasting menus but I am sensitive to heat, but got the chef's menu anyway, and I found enough to eat and to delight in. The menu seemed to be a little of everything, and we particularly loved the scallops (spicy but manageable if you leave just
Not for everyone.
Thai food is often spicey hot and Nari does not disappoint. However, if you donโt like hot food, you are best to go elsewhere. Even if you do like hot food, you may want to go elsewhere for several reasons. While the service was excellent, the n
Wow what a fantastic meal, drinks and service.

Cocktails ordered, our server endeavored to explain the menu, essentially performing roll-call of who could handle "spicy" (3 of us) and who could only handle "less spicy" (1). If your table balances out in the opposite fashion c

I don't think this restaurant is bad but I also don't think it's a must try. The only thing that was really good was the squid with pork belly. We liked it so much that we ordered a 2nd plate. Everything else was either too sour or too spicy. It just

Quality cooking and ingredients.
Beautiful natural interiors designed meticulously. However -- Dishes let down by lack of thought/creativity (e.g. Dungeness crab curry is literally a parcel of crab plonked into a sea of curry that overwhelms any subtleties of the crab meat). -1 star

Really good vegan options and the eggplant was so amazing -- and loved the dessert! However, knocking off a star because their vegan dishes were SO spicy and they needed some more vegan options.
Loved it!
We enjoyed every aspect of Nari. The atmosphere was upscale without being stuffy and the service was friendly, professional, and helpful. Their cocktail menu was creative and the few we ordered were delicious. Finally, the food was outstanding; at
Rushed service, same flavors equally no flavors
The food came out so fast it was concerning. Whole branzino, stone fruit salad, croquettes, hanachi with chili sauce poured over it. Stone fruit salad was spicy and had overwhelming amount of vinegar. No balance. All dishes tasted the same with
Connect with users posting reservations for Nari San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nari San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nari San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nari San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Nari San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nari San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
