- happy hourMy experience on a Tuesday night was very chill, and I loved the ambient, which felt very saloon-like. The service was awesome; the bartender even gave us a bit of a grace period for happy hour. When I asked for the strongest drink, he advised the Mai Tai, which was delicious and came with the kind of cherry I love.
- happy hour specialshappy hour specials definitely the better deal
- pricesThe prices are median value for San Francisco.
- Happy HourYes, there is a Happy Hour!
- amount of foodGood amount of food for the price
- dealsFrom the front, the entrance isn't very noticeable. This is a good place for happy hour with really good deals. It's also a good space for groups.
- delivery app feesMy favorites are the house wings and the Mac n cheese, which is so bomb! I recommend ordering directly through their phone number to help them avoid delivery app fees if you're close by.

Horrible Service, Great Food
My experience at this restaurant today was marred by horrible service. A short Asian guy with glasses, a Bape shirt, and a mohawk displayed a disgusting attitude. When I asked a simple question about drinks, he acted as if I was ruining his day, rolling his eyes and looking annoyed, clearly showing he couldn’t care less.
It's unprofessional and rude to take out job dissatisfaction on customers. This unprofessional and rude behavior honestly ruined my experience. I would much rather be served by anyone else, especially the nice girl server who genuinely knows how to treat people with respect.
On a positive note, the food was excellent.

Hidden Gem with Amazing Food and Service!
As a lifelong San Francisco resident, I'm surprised I'm just discovering this place! The ambience is beautiful, featuring nice decor and modern technology. Multiple couches offer comfy seating, and the TVs displaying upcoming sports games make it a great spot to catch the action (Go Warriors, Niners, and Giants!).
When you arrive, make sure to be attended by Zoe! She's a fantastic character and a hard worker, managing everything from bartending to waitressing and even attending a karaoke party in the back. She also takes the time to check on customers during downtime, exuding great energy and a pleasant personality.
For food, I tried the spicy wonton and Birria Ramen. Both were incredibly delicious. The spicy wonton, with its perfectly cooked shrimp, was a standout, as many places tend to overcook them.
The Birria ramen soup boasted great flavors, and the meat was exceptionally tender. I wholeheartedly give this place a 10/10 and would definitely return to get lost again and have someone find me to take me out of the bar!

Mixed Feelings on Drinks and Tacos, Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The margarita tasted like syrup and was sour, with barely any alcohol. The tacos 🌮 also seemed a bit flat in taste, needing more flavor beyond the salsa provided.
However, the service was amazing and prompt, and the area was nice.
