Restaurants near Norras Temple

We had a great time. Food was amazing and reasonably priced for quality and quantity. Service left a bit to be desired, such as asking for things twice and got some sass for asking for a coat check when at the table and not the front desk (I would assume a restaurant of this caliber would offer a coat check when we walk in). Otherwise everything was great!

Wayfare Tavern has become an institution in San Francisco, and our most recent visit confirms it’s as great as it’s always been.

It’s a fun spot with tasty food at a moderately premium price. There is better Chinese food to be had in San Francisco, but the vibe here makes it worth the occasional trip. We had the chrysanthemum salad, which was very tasty and fresh though I didn’t much care for the dressing. It seemed a little bland to me. We had the xiao long bao, which I usually love. These were very tasty, but nothing special. The fat noodles were great. The sauce was a little sweet to my taste. The winner for me was the tofu clay pot with minced pork. Wonderfully spicy and full of interesting flavors, offset by the creamy creamy tofu. Really beautifully prepared.

Fabulous, don’t miss the chestnut soup or the fig leaf panna cotta. The black cod could have used a bit more acid. Great ambiance and loved the live music

What an amazing dining experience! We are still talking about the dinner we enjoyed, the hospitality, and how the chef personally placed and explained each dish. The place was the definition of welcoming; every detail was about hospitality, and the food was delicious. Thank you!
