Rintaro

22 Great SF Restaurants That Are Open On Mondays - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"When you’re craving izakaya food, but you also want some peace and quiet, go to Rintaro. The Japanese restaurant is on a near-silent stretch of the Mission with a walled-off courtyard and a dining room filled pretty much only with the smell of grilled meats. If the weather’s right, sit outside under the twinkle lights and get some yakitori—the tsukune with egg yolk dipping sauce and the negima are both great. Walk-in seating is limited, but Monday reservations are typically easy to make." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
