Reviews of Friends Only
"It's honestly shocking that Friends Only doesn't have a Michelin star yet. Truly one of the best omakase experiences in the Bay Area and comparable to omakases in Honolulu and dare I say, Japan as well. As it's name alludes to - dining at Friends Only is akin to hanging out with friends at home in the living room and having great sushi with wine and sake pairings. This is by no means a negative but rather a reflection of the warmth and welcoming embrace as you enter the front door. Chef Weman, Linda, and Quade are spectacular. Chef Weman Li is both fun and educational which is a welcome change to some omakase experiences that are a "sacred temple and hush hush." He actively interacts and chats with guests and can talk endlessly about fish, dry aging techniques, and whatever wild dishes he's thinking about next. Friends Only specializes in dry aged fish and it's remarkable the textural transformation dry aged fish undergoes similarly to that of a dry age steak. More umami, deeper concentration of flavors, and complexity. Every course is grounded in "core" Japanese ingredients but with a flair of a mad man scientist with an unlimited budget and through the roof creativity. Hokkaido scallop served on a sesame tostada with Kaluga caviar and uni? Yup. It's possibly the most luxurious amuse bouche / first course with 0-100 roller coaster acceleration to kickstart the meal with a bang. Chawanmushi with shaved black Perigord truffles served in a clay vessel that looks like a cross of a lantern and a Moai Easter Island statue / Squidward's home? Yup. Lastly, Quade and Carson whip up possibly the best cocktails I've had in SF. Honestly Friends Only should also open a cocktail bar next door :)"
"Recently visited SF for the first time and made a point to dine at this restaurant based on my research. Very intimate and private setting. Dinner service took about 2.5 hours however it didn’t feel like it. Service was great and everything was clearly well thought out. A small, but cohesive team that made the evening inviting and memorable. Food was fantastic. Meticulous attention to detail and it was very evident the time and care put in to everything that was prepared. Hope to make it back!"
"Spectacular service, stellar cocktails and every dish was out of this world. Definitely a unique experience if you can get a reservation. The whole restaurant only sits 10 people - it's very intimate but not stuffy or snobby. The only thing that would have made it better is if we were with only our friends ;)"
"Exclusive omakase focusing on dry aged fish, decadent dishes, and interesting sake/wines. Michilan starred price point backed up by food, drinks and service of a similar level. Staff are friendly and engaging, especially in the second half of the meal once their prep is complete. I recomend attending if the opportunity for a reservation presents itself."
