Ichido Restaurant

"I was in SF visiting family and a minor medical procedure. Found this nice restaurant and got some take out. So Good. Very clean inside and they're doing a good job with COVID rules. Please keep supporting you local businesses."

"This was a first-time experience dining in a pop up prefix menu experience for me. We were there for our birthday celebration, 6 course omakase pre fix menu and it was a pretty unique sake brewery background. Communal table was shared between 12 guests. Chef Geoff was very friendly, down-to-earth, creative, playful and artistic with his food and plating. The first course was soba noodle twirl beautifully with butter emulsion, sake, mirin, mustard seed, crab innerds, and Japanese leaf flakes. I love this sauce so much that I can drink it!! Second course was chawan mushi, very delicate, soft, top off with fresh crab Dungeness crab and ikura. Third dish was my favorite, roasted Dungeness crab that was lightly poached and then roasted with a touch of salt. It has a chili sambal with crackers, and the same soba sauce for dipping the crab, YUM!! Then we were given a soup that has rice stew with crab which to me resembled porridge and wasn't impressed. The next dish was Japanese omelette with sweet sauce which really tasted like I was in Japan but it was lacking the crunchiness of calamari. Lastly it finished off with a square dessert that resembles butter pecan and mochi. This was probably the most disappointing course since it wasn't satisfying or mind-blowing enough for us. A souffle would be more impressive :-) We also ordered a sake cocktail that have grapefruit and Ginger with peeled orange skin. Not bad but it was a small quantity and diluted with ice. Strong performance by the chef but I would expect more creativity for the desert. Hats off to chef Geoff, bravo! I hope it would be a full-time restaurant that we can always dine in soon!"

"Ichido is an experience. menu crafted weekly as ingredients and fish is locally available. seating is at large tables which immerses you in the conversations of your fellow diners. a two hour tasting menu that always impresses in flavor and presentation. I cant say enough great things about the Ichido experience."

"The food and the experience are totally worth the money. We join the private dinner through feastly. Small group, about 15-20 people are seated around a big table. The chef introduced and explained the ingredient/ cooking of each of his dishes in the tasting menu. Fresh farm to table ingredients (fished freshly catched from the bay!), deep flavors and well thought menu - very very impressed and satisfied."

"Fun dining experience from Chef Geoff Reed. Really enjoyed the tasting meal."
