We were very impressed with all of the food here. Great Asian Fusion! Would highly recommend. Suggest getting a reservation because there are not many tables. Great atmosphere, prompt service, ample portions!

Stumbled across this cool spot whilst enjoying north beach and thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Service was relaxed but very good and the vibe overall was really nice, bettered only by the fab food.

The restaurant is relatively small however you don't feel like you're on top of each other. We didn't book and we very lucky to be given the last table in the house! We both had the specials on the starter menu, these were £14 each but well worth it. We both also had the specials for mains and they were... More

You need to book as very popular. Great specials. Service abrupt but fast. Great bar next door with live music and free pouring on the drinks!

Ranked very highly by Zagats, The House was well worth the visit last night. 4 of us (who are in a long-time cooking group) shared a wide range of small plates and a couple of entrees, the Wasabi Noodles and the Halibut. All were well-prepared and presented, flavors were delicate and complex, and well-timed by the excellent staff.

Wow. What an impressive meal this was. I was visiting from Australia and had dinner on a Monday night with 5 friends. It looks like a very small, understated local restaurant, nothing fancy... but the food was just exceptional. By far the best meal I had in my week in San Fran (and it's a great eating city!) The seafood... More
