The best tofu in San Francisco?? This cozy little restaurant in the Castro really took me back to Japan 🥹 They specialize in fresh house made tofu that is so soft and silky and will change the way you think about tofu! We tried all 3 different preparations they offer and each dish was unique in its own way. They also serve other Japanese dishes like sushi, donburi, udon, and a variety of appetizers. The fresh strawberry mochi is a must-have as well! 🍓 It’s a small restaurant and they don’t take reservations, so come early or be prepared to wait a bit, but trust me it’s worth it! What we tried: • Ankimo (monkfish liver) • Bitter melon & mackerel • Cold tofu • Ankake tofu (steamed tofu served with a thick starchy dashi sauce) • Oboro tofu (fresh and warm silken tofu curd) • Eggplant with walnuts & miso • Sea bream nigiri • Rainbow roll • Rock’n roll (unagi, avocado, cucumber) • Unagi don • Purple sweet potato yokan with vanilla ice cream • Ichigo daifuku (fresh strawberry mochi - limited to 1 per person) ⭐️ Save this to your food list and follow @wendan.vs.world for more SF hidden gems! 📍Eiji, 317 Sanchez Street, San Francisco, CA . . . #wendaneats #wendaneatssf #sfeats #sffood #sffoodie #sfrestaurants #bayareafoodie #bayareaeats #sffoodblogger #castrosf #inthecastro #japanesefood San Francisco hidden gems, Japanese food in SF, best SF restaurants
