Editorial reviews from the web (4)

French and Japanese flavors are fused at bushi-tei, marking a creative duality evident even in the small room's elegant, rustic-modern decor. The striking, 16-seat communal table is split lengthwise into contrasting halves of wood and… Read More

“Don’t expect sushi and the usual Japanese fare” at this “fantastic find in J-town” proffering “gorgeous” high-end “Asian-fusion” à la carte and “kaiseki meals” as “inventive” as they are “eye candy”, “served beautifully” by a “gracious host” in a “modern”, “jewel-box” setting outfitted with lots of “old wood”; “dinner’s pricey”, but Sunday brunch is more affordable, as are the “quick” bites...

While Asian fusion is starting to feel old-fashioned, the innovative Cal-French cuisine with a Japanese accent at Bushi-Tei seems decidedly nouveau. The Japantown restaurant serves intriguing creations that don't feel forced. To start, try big-eye tuna tartare with tobiko and wasabi crème fraîche, or seared foie gras atop pumpkin pot de crème. Plates include coq au vin with mushroom polenta and...

Artfully prepared Cal-French cuisine punched up with Japanese flair characterizes this fine-dining destination in Japantown.

In Short
Lamb chops accompanied by Satsuma yams and a wasabi port sauce and a lobster-and-crab starter with papaya, ginger cream and curry oil are indicative of Chef Waka's inventive...

I visited San Francisco with wife from 31 March to 6 April and set about organising a gourmet marathon. We dined on seven successive nights in AQ, Gary Danko, Garibaldi, Per Diem, Slanted Door, Bushi Tei and Velvet Room in Clift hotel.
I am writing up a separate review for each for comparison purposes. They can be found by following...

I wanted to like this place; I really did. I had been intrigued by it for a while and when my roommate decided to host dinner at Bushi-Tei to celebrate his graduation from a doctoral program, I was excited to give it a whirl! The ambiance was cool, the decor was nice and I was hoping the food would match....

Get the ribs

This Asian Fusion place across from the Kabuki Hotel in Japantown was great. While my husband was underwhelmed by the pork loin, which he found too bland, we were both WOWED by the soy-braised ribs. These came with a delicate shallot cream, smoked mashed potatoes, and sauteed greens. They were fall-apart tender and tasted amazing. Atmosphere when we were there...
