“Niku is a Michelin-starred steakhouse and cocktail bar in the Design District that offers an intersection of Japanese and American cuisines. Executive chef Dustin Falcon (ex The French Laundry, Lazy Bear) focuses on products from local famers combined with the best in class American and A5 Japanese wagyu, the highest grade of beef due to its high levels of marbling. If your credit card can handle it, opt for the $265 USD A5 Wagyu tasting, the best steak experience of my life. These exclusive cuts of beef were cooked to perfection on Falcon’s custom binchotan charcoal and wood-fired grill.The cocktails are also on point at Niku, with a short list of Japanese-inspired twists on classics together with well-balanced classic drinks. For dessert, follow Alexis’ lead and order the Chocolate Miso, a spectacular brownie made with wagyu fat! Coupled with wagyu fat caramel and miso ice cream, your taste buds will be overloaded with joy.“
“A delightful dinner served to perfection. From the host (who we found out later that he was the GM) to our server and to everyone who came by the table to serve us, they were all wonderful. It was our second visit here and we mainly came to try their Michelin Rated Burger. We also ordered the Heirloom Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad, Steak Tartare which was both incredibly flavorful and delicious. We got the M&L Burger which did not disappoint and the French Dover Sole. Wow! The presentation of the French Dover Sole was amazing. They finish cooking it tableside and you do not want to miss this. We were so amazed by all the dishes at first bite. It's the feeling in that one moment when you take that first bite and the flavors create fireworks in your mind, you know you're in for the best meal of your life. Thank you to the all staff and Chris Brown for your attentiveness and service. We'll be back for sure! Pro Tip: They have a private entrance to the Chase Center! Our first time here was before a game and we were table to utilize the special entrance. We felt very exclusive! Game days get really busy so plan accordingly. Highly recommend making reservations ahead of time!“
“We just had a nice and quick dinner here. Cocktails and steak. Straight forward. Very decent place, tasty filet mignon, good mashed potatoes. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. Even the cocktails were really nice. And we got a place without reservation. So all in all a very nice experience.“

“My family and I have been coming to Harris’ for at least two decades to celebrate special occasions and holidays. We’ve always had the best service and the food is amazing, especially the steaks. We recommend for everyone to try it at least once because they won’t be disappointed.“
“Husband and I had dinner here, was seated according reservation, very polite and professional staff. food was delicious, husband had petite Filet Mignon, I ordered the special Bone in filet. Both were juicy and full of flavor. It was cooked according to preference, we both loved it. had some sides, creamy spinach and portabella mushrooms, perfect. with the steaks, enjoyed the garlic fries and bread with old fashions to start. We ended with dessert and coffee. would highly recommend for birthday, date night, or just because you want to enjoy a amazing steak. We ate here for the first time when it opened way back in early 2000's and it hasn't disappointed us at all. very consistent to who they are and what they serve. luv it!“
“Great no frills steak house in the neighborhood.Very simple but to the point menu.Asked for a very rare steak, came through and was well seasoned and of good quality.2 steak meals with beer is $60, which is a great value!Interior design is humble and welcoming. Feels like you are transported to a movie set in the early 70s or 80s.My only notes: drafts appear to be misaligned. Beer tasted a little flat.Would definitely come here again, and recommend others to try it too.“
“Epic steak is an awesome experience as is the price. I would consider topping your credit up before visiting with family or friends as this is a major set-back, but it was worth it as everything that we got was amazing and worth the wait and the price; would definitely recommend and come again.“
“I've tried jus about everything on the menu. Always completely satisfied until today. Had the Turkey and Swiss melt only to find out they use sliced turkey. You would think a place like Tads would use FRESH TURKEY. STILL PLEASED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE and All other food on the menu.“
“I landed in San Francisco and was completely famished and this place had a zero minute wait time. The service was so-so from our server, primarily because I’m not partial to indifferent mannerisms. However, the back wait staff was wonderful and so was the Maitre’D. The Hamachi dish I had was subpar to say the least, and I would not recommend it and sadly the Bronzino taste like burnt nothing. After sending both dishes back initially, I ordered the lobster and it was superlative! It was tender and delicious. The mac & cheese, prepped gratin style, is incredible. I think that alone probably helps you select your entrée choices. The Albariño with the lobster is an excellent pairing, and perhaps the Dungeness crab might be a great starter option. The seats are a win-win and chefs kiss for comfort.“
“Came here a few weeks ago with a group of 7, our server was Patrick. He was very attentive, professional and explained the whole menu. The food is exquisite! That fried rice was the BEST I have ever had!! The prices are standard, not too pricey in my opinion. Will definitely be back!“
“The manager Sonny Gibson blew us away with his amazing service when I came in to get lunch with my mother. He went above and beyond to check on us and make sure we were all taken care of and happy with what we ordered. Not often I write a review, but he had a great service. Will definitely be back.“
“Marcelo was an amazing server and staff, as well as all the other staffs that brought out meat, refilled our drinks, and clear our table. We were here to celebrate our anniversary and wouldn't have done it at a better spot than this. The meat had a great selection to choose from.“
