Fabulous
CSPalo Alto , CAAugust 22, 2026I was frustrated on a Friday night, so I dropped in here as the final stop of my kuidaore. Enjoyed their chirashi bowl with the caviar accompanied by another cocktail in the spirit of seasonal stone fruit, some bites of their kara-age from a barmate who couldn't finish his, and a dual dessert consisting of dressed-up lotus chips (still more savoury than sweet, but no less tasty) and a kakigori bowl that doubled as both spiked sweet and boozy cocktail. Felt the love from all the bartenders and servers who recognised me. Looks like the menu is continuing to add cool new items, so I'll be back soon to try more.
EMSan Francisco, CAAugust 02, 2026I wish the staff could have been more welcoming. It took them a long time to ask if I was enjoying my drink or if I needed anything else. Also, I thought it was weird they refused to provide the WiFi password even after they confirmed lots of people don't have signal inside. The overall vibe was that they just didn't care.
CGSan Francisco , CAJuly 25, 2026Top notch dining experience at Nisei. Food and service both exceptional. Highly recommend.
CTSan Jose, CAJuly 24, 2026Absolutely amazing experience. Food & vibe were on point. We went for our anniversary and our evening was memorable.
