One of my favorite dining experiences in the city that has flown below the radar for far too long.

Kappo yuji is an intimate traditional Japanese restaurant that serves an array of dishes cooked in different ways: raw, fried, grilled, etc. If you like omakase but want to take a detour and still have that same quality of ingredients, this is a great place to go to.

I’ve been here around 3x and the menu has changed seasonally. Some of my favorite dishes that I’ve had include the seiko kani, which is a delicacy basically a female Japanese snow crab with a lot of roe, their grilled sea bass, and an uni soba dish.

Yuji has never failed to impress me, and get me rather full. Every time I’ve underestimated the set menu and always order extras and end up stuffed.

It is also a set menu worth the price at around $160, quite comparable to most set menus in sf, but in my opinion more worth it due to the intimate small seating setting and quality ingredients used.

Conveniently located in Japantown but easily missed in a humble no sign entryway. Parking is easy in the japantown plaza lot.

A speakeasy omakase with no signage that you have to be in the know and find your way to this amazing experience. The standouts for me were the female snow crab, wagu and probably the best Chilean sea bass I've ever had in my life. Everything was executed perfectly and with over 25 years of collecting knives in the background you'll have a lot to talk about. You need to make reservations on Tock. I went for my birthday. The sake pairing was delicious.

Food was good but with this price I expect at least one amazing dish, which I didn’t find…
Yuji is a super small Omakase place in Japantown with just 9 seats. The menu composed of mostly cooked dishes with 1 sashimi course (was hoping for more). My favorite was the chawanmushi (super soft egg, blends so well with fish roe) and wagyu (perfectly cooked). The spring roll (?) with mabo sauce is very creative. Didn’t like the sashimi as much, fish are rather on the leaner side. The steamed fish tastes good but is a little overcooked imo.
So overall pretty good, but probably won’t visit again.

Our dinner at Kappo Yuji was a thoughtfully curated series of flavors and textures in nuanced layers. The highlights for us were a clear soup made with anago (a type of eels) and a bowl of soba noodles with three kinds of eggs, to our pleasant surprise. The soup was so clean yet rich with umami. The eggs (a type of large bird egg, salmon eggs, and uni) on top of soba mixed together created an almost indescribable orchestra in our mouths—subtle and complex, creamy with air, almost foamy, and smooth with presence. It was so surprisingly delicious. Service was also attentive and welcoming.

The restaurant itself has a very strong speakeasy vibe. It’s on the second floor of a rundown building that has multiple businesses. We were wondering where the entrance was because there’s no sign either. The locked metal gate on the second floor is only unlocked right at your appointment time. Also, there’s no restrooms inside—just the omakase bar. There’s a hotel across the street, diagonal from the restaurant building, where you can use their restrooms in their lobby.

Overall, I highly recommend tasting chef Yuji’s offerings.

This place is amazing. Finally a Omakase place that is not focused on Nigiri and serves warm food. And leaves me very satisfied and full! The fried belt fish was so tender and light, dobin mushi was hearty and full of umami flavor, and their yuzu cheesecake was delicious too. 10/10 would come back again.
