reza setiawan رضا ستياوانDecember 27, 2010The best place to get everything Japanese! My fave: ramen & chix katsu curry. Get all the Japanese sweets! Nomnomnom. Enjoy your visit, eat a lot & feel happy. You're in SF after all!
Adam MoreMay 15, 2016Japan town is WAY BETTER than Little Tokyo in LA. If you are visiting from SoCal don't skip over this place!
LauraFebruary 13, 2018Love Japantown! There are so many great shops and restaurants. Must see for people that love Japanese culture.- Katie CarnohanJanuary 13, 2022make sure to check out Kui Shin Bo in the upper east mall. Fantastic selection of food and an expansive menu! Great specials too!
Eat seafood at least twice - its good for your health, visit japantown at least twice a week - its a laundry for your mind

Westfield San Francisco CentreJuly 10, 2012Celebrate the heart of San Francisco in our free animated 3D light spectacular under the dome at Westfield San Francisco Centre (865 Market Street) starting daily at 5pm until September 3 2012!
Find KAPPA, the best omakase here. Hint, you got to take the stairs up and find a dark wooden door.

- There is a West Mall and a East Mall, then the Kinokuniya Building. So make sure to cover every bit
Arriving here via BART is annoyingly difficult; you can either take the 38 and put down another $2, or walk for 30 minutes.
Valerie TuffyApril 21, 2010Another favorite spot to bring out-of-town guests. Everyone loves sushi boats! #^_^#
Make sure you stop by the dollar stores. Many good finds there!
HalleJune 8, 2009have ramen for dinner, then catch a movie at Kabuki theater while sipping wine (in the theater!)
