What people say about Rintaro

Step into Rintaro, and the setting is a big part of the experience; warm wood and izakaya ambience might take your San Francisco dinner out of the city for just a minute. Sashimi, homemade udon, yakitori, and crunchy katsu receive a lot of acclaim, and the servers are always said to be very helpful in figuring out the extensive menu. Things can get hectic at times, and there will always be waiting, but for many, it is all worth it.

Restaurant overview

About Rintaro

Rintaro is a Mission District izakaya that blends Japanese cooking techniques with Northern California ingredients. Its menu flows from sashimi and tofu to skewers, oden, fried food, rice, and housemade udon.

A single main dish doesn’t make much sense at Rintaro; the restaurant makes a lot of sense with a table sharing multiple plates. Raw fish, a cooked dish, a skewer, and noodles offer an accurate glimpse into the kitchen.

Rintaro can serve both a party dinner and a romantic date where dining takes priority. It would be good to reserve a table, especially for dinner, because the ambiance is important here.
