    This place is almost perfect. Small. Everything I had was memorably excellent. Steak (a usually boring choice) was as render as butter, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommended.

    One of my Top 5 in SF. Start with the salmon roll slathered in mind-melting Chinese mustard. The black cod paired with chewy noodles, crisp green beans and soy ginger sauce is in perfect balance.

    You can't go wrong with anything, but especially loved the crispy salmon roll (the wasabi sauce is BOMB) & house wasabi noodles (you can order it as a side). Literally devoured them both! Yummm!

    The sea bass was cooked to perfection and the pork chop is one of the best I've ever had. Try the mango (with almond) tapioca pudding! It was light and flavorful and a wonderful way to end the meal.

    Hands down my favorite Asian fusion restaurant in SF! Wasabi noodle is a must. Sea Bass and Black Cod (or any fish) are excellent protein choices! Desserts are also amazing.

    sea bass is the best I've ever had and it comes with a side of garlic noodles! wasabi noodles have only a small hint of wasabi for those like me who don't like the taste of it!

    Sea bass is just as amazing as everyone says. Loved the tuna tartare and white shrimp dumpling apps. Get a side of the wasabi noodles with your meal, and finish it off with the apple crumb pie!

    You know your seafood is in good hands with a HK chef. Try their famous sea bass!

    If you're wondering why every other tip raves about the sea bass, you'll have to order one and judge for yourself.

    The best of 'Asian Fusion', I can see why it's a hood favorite, even if the menu can seem dated. Garlic noodles are amazing and the Cod. Service was a little rushed, but was still mostly good.

    Expect a wait regardless if you have a reservation. We waited 1/2 hour along with at least 2 other couples who had a 7:30 reservation. Great food! Sea bass and cod were perfectly seared and delicious!

    MAKE A RES! Walkups were waiting 1 hour+. Black cod is a must. Rib eye is AMAZING. If you're brave, order the rice, it's amazing & you're in for a surprise. Scallop Cesar is amazing. Wine a bit warm

    Crazy wait time during dinner. Expect to wait around 2 hrs if you're on the waitlist. But the daily special scallops were one of the best I've ever had. Wasabi noodles and sea bass were also amazing!

    Tiny little place with out of this world seafood. The unique flavor combos will keep you coming back. It's impossible to get something bad here. Call ahead for a reservation to avoid the long wait.

    Everything's good! The soft-shell crab (from the specials) was super creative. Must try the scallops and the sea bass 🐟

    "The House has been one of North Beach's gems since Larry and Angela Tse opened it back in 1993, and it remains one of the best Asian-influenced seafood restaurants in the city." Read more

    You can't go wrong with sea bass or black cod, and creme brulee is a favorite. Today's specials, Kobe beef tartare appetizer and seared hamachi with clams in amazing sauce, were delicious too!

    Must try: Sea Bass in a soy garlic sauce. Best dish I had in San Francisco and I have eaten at many restaurants!! The special app, scallops with yuzu sauce was also delicious.

    Best meal I've had in a long time! I got the flatiron steak with black truffle sauce, mashed potatoes and cauliflower. Try the apple pie ala mode for dessert. Definitely recommend!

    One of San Francisco's true gems. You can't really go wrong on the menu, but the house noodles and the sea bass are fantastic.

    Kale salad with blue cheese and pine nuts was delicious. Black cod with miso is not prepared like the traditional Japanese way so it was disappointing but it tasted fine.

    Wasabi noodles! 😍😍😍. If you have to wait for a table, Tosca Cafe is a good place to have a drink 👍

    The flatiron steak just cracked my list of the top five things I want to taste before I die. Start with the deep fried salmon rolls. Best meal ever. My compliments to the chef!!!

    Don't get the Angus Rib Eye Steak. Though the flavor was great, the meat quality was sub-standard, bringing chewiness to a whole new level.
