Reviews
I haven’t been back in ten years. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if E&O had survived the Great San Francisco Restaurant Cull of 2020, but not only is it standing, it’s thriving—probably powered by pure, unadulterated Indonesian Corn Fritter energy.
These fritters are so ridiculously good they should come with a warning label. They’re soft, they’re crispy, and they hit that perfect spot of savory, sweet, and comforting. I almost ordered a second round just to ensure the first batch wasn’t a delicious hallucination.
Then came the Vegan Dandan (made spicy upon request, thanks to the kitchen gods). This wasn’t just a good vegan dish; this was the star of the show. It had all the flavor and fire you could want, without any of the compromise. Seriously, I’m still sweating slightly, but I have zero regrets. (They deserve major props for how easily they adapted almost everything for my vegetarian/vegan requests!)
I consider myself a person with restraint. I am sensible. I rarely overeat. But tonight, I threw all decorum out the window and ate until I needed a team of professionals to roll me out. It was worth every single calorie.
The service was stellar, too. All servers constantly checked in, likely to ensure I hadn’t passed out face-first into the Dandan.
This place isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a time machine and a culinary masterpiece. Do yourself a favor, try the fritters, try the Dandan, and maybe bring a pair of emergency stretch pants. You’ll need them. 10/5, no notes!
It’s been many many years since I have been here. Previously, the restaurant was the E&O Trading Company.
Started with the black cod and dry fried green beans. Both were very tasty. Then decided to try more food and ordered the Indonesian fried rice and the prawn salad.
Everything was very tasty . I tried the iron ox IPA and the beer went well with the food. Will be back again for more delicious food.
It took us two attempts to eat here so a reservation is suggested. The first night they were very busy.

– Spring Rolls (3 long pieces)
– Indonesian Corn Fritters (5 pieces) served with sweet chili soy sauce, one of my co-workers favored.
– Green Curry Chicken with green beans: thick curry paste and more spicy (even though it has coconut milk). It was more spicy than I would like.
– Dumpings: I personally preferred Shiitake Mushroom Dumplings over Butternut Squash Dumplings, both have 5 pieces.
We also tried three desserts:
– Brown Butter Coconut “B’ingka” ($12.00): Philippine dessert cake bibingka tasted little dry.
– Ginger Spiced Cookies ($11.00 for 4 pieces): simple but delicious
– Pineapple Coconut Cake ($13.00): Though relatively small, I liked it as it was balance with pineapple jam with coconut cream cheese.
We will be back.
The party was held upstairs, hosted by one of our partners. The space was lively and packed with people. I headed to the bar and asked the bartender for a recommendation—he seemed knowledgeable and helped me pick out a wine that turned out to be decent.
As for the food, a variety of appetizers and snacks were laid out, mostly Asian fusion in style. Unfortunately, by the time I got to them, many of the items had gone cold, which was disappointing. In a well-run restaurant, I would expect food to be kept warm or replenished regularly during an event. That said, the shiitake mushroom dumplings were a highlight—flavorful and well-made. Some of the other offerings were just okay.
Another issue was the lack of serving utensils—there weren’t enough spoons or tongs, which made the buffet setup feel a bit unorganized. The staff also didn’t replenish the food quickly, which further impacted the experience.
Overall, while the food quality seemed promising, the event service felt a bit underwhelming. I’d still be curious to return for a regular dining experience, as I believe the kitchen has potential.
The Shokupan was incredible, honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere in the U.S.—soft, fluffy, and perfectly toasted. The corn fritters were amazing, and the butternut squash dumplings were rich and comforting without being heavy.
Cocktails were great too! I had the El Samurai, which was super smooth and nicely balanced.
Overall, every dish hit the spot. I’d 100% come back—E&O really delivers a fun and tasty dining experience. It’s conveniently located close to the sitter parking garage and close to union square.
