What User likes about Onsen:
Loved everything about Onsen the fact that it's attached to a modern bathhouse, the restaurant feels like you're in Japan. The menu is well executed with outstanding izakaya dishes and a solid sake list. Such a hidden gem in SF View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Onsen:
I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, finally made it. Not the most convenient or desirable location. Everyone in the group really enjoyed the food. The lamb quail skewers were very good. The dumplings and wontons were even better. Service was attentive and well paced. Small space but nice. We’ll return View all feedback.

Come for the bathhouse, stay for the delicious Japanese food. Unique place in SF (and Tenderloin) to unwind, relax, and have a solid meal. Ask for counter seats...
