Glad I chose this spot for my birthday night with my girls. We got the reservation a few days ahead. It seems to be quiet popular. The chef and the host gave us such an impressive experience. The food and service are what I would expect from an authentic upscale Yakiniku place. I also enjoyed the conversation with the chefs and the host.
The chefs here cook the meat in front of you and serve to you directly. All the meats are cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasonings.
I’m glad they don’t over season the meat nor over complicate it like other American upscale Japanese restaurants.(I enjoy food creativity if they taste good and if the complexity makes sense but sadly a lot of upscale restaurants failed to make it makes sense to me.)
Reading some other reviews on the bbq smell got me a bit surprised. I wouldn’t mind if the upscale bbq restaurant smells like a bbq place, so I am surprised ppl complained about the smoky smell in this kind of restaurant.
Thank you Chris and Circle for the fun experience!

Hands down the best yakiniku experience you can find in SF. The food quality, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. Every chef clearly knows what they’re doing — the way they handle and grill those beautiful cuts of wagyu is pure skill.
They also have an impressive selection of wines and exclusive sakes that pair perfectly with the meal. Whether you’re coming for a casual night out with friends, a romantic date, or a special celebration like a birthday, this place always delivers.
Every piece of meat was cooked to perfection, and they constantly surprise you with seasonal seafood dishes or special cuts depending on what’s available that day. It shows how much care and attention go into every detail.
Definitely worth every dollar you spend here — the experience easily rivals any Michelin-starred restaurant, if not better.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in San Francisco

Pretty good place overall. The meat is very flavorful, tender, and juicy cooked well and seasoned just right. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The staff are attentive, friendly, and quick to check in without being intrusive, which makes the dining experience feel comfortable and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable, making it a nice spot to sit back and enjoy the meal

Went here yesterday for my boyfriend and I’s anniversary and it was amazing! We got the tasting menu and every plate in that course was delicious. The meat was grilled perfectly and the side dishes they provided were also lovely. Besides the food, all the chefs provided a comfortable and friendly atmosphere! They talked to us like we were friends and it made the whole dinner even better. 10/10 for everything and if you’re considering this place for a special occasion, go for it, it’s definitely worth!

Wowowowowoowow!!!
Shout out to Circle and Mark for rocking our world with excellent sake recommendations and incredible cuts/ perfectly cooking servings of Wagyu.
The egg custard is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I will be dreaming of coming back.
If they recommend to eat something one way- trust them. They know what they’re talking about.

had a great experience here at the counter with a group of 6. not too busy, and they cooked the meats for you to perfection. i thought the meal was done well, would’ve preferred more seafood / seasoning, and definitely greasy so had to replenish the banchans a few times.

One of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Amazing food quality, preparation, and guidance. I loved being able to taste different parts of the cow all in one meal.

I’m honestly speechless after our incredible meal at Yakiniku Shodai. Every dish was cooked to absolute perfection, and you can truly taste the exceptional quality of their meat selection. The attention to detail in their cooking process is remarkable.
Chris, who expertly cooked for us, took his time to ensure that every piece of meat was prepared flawlessly. My favorite was the oyster blade—it just melted in my mouth. Andy, the chef, also recommended some outstanding sake pairings that elevated the entire experience.
We left already thinking about when we can come back for another meal. Highly recommend! Here are some photos from our unforgettable dining experience.

This Japanese restaurant is an absolute gem in San Francisco. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, elegant, and thoughtfully designed—beautiful without feeling pretentious. Every detail feels intentional.
The food is truly exceptional. Each dish is crafted with incredible care, using the freshest ingredients, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. The sushi is outstanding—delicate, flavorful, and artfully presented—and the hot dishes are just as impressive.
What really elevates the experience is the service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, making you feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the meal.
This is the kind of place you go for a special night out—or anytime you want to remind yourself how amazing Japanese cuisine can be. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in San Francisco. Highly, highly recommend.✨

Wonderful selection of meat and excellent service. Great recommendation of sake to celebrate a birthday.
Ideal place for date night or one on one business meeting. Not so good for family because I think mainly adults would fully appreciate the dishes and services offered. I am sure kids would enjoy the meat. But I think it’s a bit too pricy as a family dinner.
We picked the smaller set menu which is perfect amount of food. You can still order a la carte if needed. Highly recommend and definitely repeat.
There is a comedy club next door. Although I didn’t go, would be great as a next thing after dinner.
