Ryoko's

About the Business

Specialties

Take a walk around the heart of downtown San Francisco and you'll come across Ryoko's Japanese Restaurant and Bar -- a neighborhood staple that's been around for 30 years. Walk down the stairs, and you've entered our high energy, underground restaurant. You'll immediately be greeted by our team as we transport you to Tokyo in a restaurant steeped in Japanese decor and culture. Our food is authentic as can be, with things like our own distinctive style of miso soup and rice that's cooked with vinegar we make in-house. Our seafood is delivered fresh every single day for a distinctive, delectable flavor that'll keep you returning time and time again.

History

Established in 1987.

Ryoko's has always been family-owned and operated, and we're proud to have two generations of our family members carry on the family restaurant legacy. Ryoko's got started as an Izakaya, a casual Japanese gastropub, and later on evolved to be more of a Japanese restaurant with sushi and Japanese cuisine. Through all this, we've stayed true to our passion for showing our customers an unforgettable experience and a fantastic meal.
