Had such an amazing experience at Rich Table! My friend made a dinner reservation for 4 a month in advance to secure us a table. We got 4 appetizers - burrata, toro toast x2, beef dumplings, and the porcini donuts. The toro toast was my favorite! For the entrees, we got the sea urchin pasta, fried rice, and ribeye. The sea urchin pasta was so good! Fried rice had so much flavor and the texture was amazing. It had some crunch to it from some of the crispy rice pieces. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and paired so well with the chile lime corn. We ordered the honey cornbread with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it tasted so light and refreshing for a cornbread! Not dry at all. My friend also got a bday dessert treat! It was mint ice cream with a brownie chip - also so good. Overall loved the ambience of this restaurant - it felt like we were being hosted in someone's home bc of how home-y it felt in there! We also loved the open kitchen concept and watching the chefs do their thing! The servers were also amazing in helping us navigate their menu and choose what dishes to order. We finished everything and felt so satisfied at the end! Everything was so delicately made and you could really tell in each and every dish we got that it was made with high quality ingredients and intricacy from the chefs! I'd definitely recommend to friends!

Rich table definitely met my expectations and more! I made a reservation a month in advance since reservations can be hard to get for a good dinner time! We also got perfect parking right in front of the restaurant as well. The restaurant is also very homey like and i love that they have an open kitchen concept so we can watch the chefs cook! I would like to first start off by saying we ordered for four and we finished everything and left very satisfied and full! Every dish we had we enjoyed. With every bite you can tell everything was created with seasonal items and very fresh ingredients as well! Everything also paired very well together! For appetizers we ordered the burrata, dumplings, doughnuts (tasted so good with the dip and the texture tasted like a brazilian cheese bread!), and the blue tuna toro toast! For mains, we ordered the sea urchin pasta (i love uni), the rib eye steak, and fried rice. The ribeye steak was fantastic because all the ingredients paired so well together and I have never had steak with sweet corn and on top was citrusy but tasted so good all together! The steak was also cooked perfect! For dessert, we ordered the corn bread cake and they gave us a complimentary mint chip dessert. The honey corn bread cake was so delightful and moist and it was amazing!! I'm not a fan of mint chip ice cream but I have to say the dessert with brownie cookies and mint chip chocolate was very refreshing and paired well together! Overall, I would definitely come back and try their new items next time.

Excellent. The only dish that was meh was the truffle pasta. The porcini donuts were the bomb! Amazing flavor on the oysters, very refreshing. The duck pasta was very delicious with a good combo of textures, the pasta is unique as well, reminding me of a Chinese dish my mother used to make.

4.5 stars I made an online reservation more than 30 days in advance (yes, it's those kind of restaurants) for a Friday night dinner for 2 at 7:15p. This is my second time here and the first time was more than a decade ago. I remember feeling lukewarm about this restaurant on my previous visit but with the consistent positive reviews and difficulty getting a reservation I decided to give it a second try and am so glad I did! We opted for the "chef picks" option for $120 per person which is meant so you can try the majority of the menu with a few off-menu items. If I wasn't impressed after this I can finally put Rich Table out of my mind haha. Well, I was impressed and didn't think the price point was too outrageous given how everything is so expensive nowadays. My favs were: Dried porcini doughnuts raclette (menu staple) Heirloom tomato with RTR Douglas fir ranch and crispy shallots Maguro zuke with pluots, shiso and Borja's avocado purée Plancha fried rice with morels, pole beans and pickled shallots 21 day dry aged rib eye with chili lime creamed corn Desserts were only ok and can't quite remember exactly what we had. Service was excellent throughout with our water always being refilled, cocktails at the ready, and napkins folded whenever we left the table. It is a cozy restaurant and quite packed so a little on the loud side. Me and my hubby would definitely come back as their menu changes throughout the year with a few exceptions. Street parking can be challenging so we opted to park in the performing arts garage nearby (5 min walk to the restaurant). It was a $22 flat rate since there was a show at the SF symphony that day.

Had an early dinner here yesterday and chose to sit on the bar by the window. Opted out of the chefs tasting and decided to do A La Carte. Started with our cocktails Shiso Popular was refreshing and the Garden party was interesting. Our starters came out together- Sardines chips- was unique and very good. I don't eat horse radish but I definitely ate the one they had it was light and good. -Blue fin totro toast (I highly recommend) bread is soft inside with a bit of a crunch on the outside the toro tasted amazing. The oysters were really good never had it with green strawberry and it definitely elevated the taste. The Chawanmushi Corn was packed with flavors. The Doughnuts- fluffy/thick and chewy. It was warm great with the cheese. For mains we ordered The Tonnarelli -Urchin pasta was rich, creamy and flavorful. The Bluefin Tuna Laksa was good. With peanut sauce reminded me of their take of Kare Kare but with fish instead of the bagoong they have sambal which adds a little kick. Overall everything was great! Food packed with flavors and service was great.

Awesome experience of wonderful appetizers and great entrees. Amazing service and ambiance. This is my forth time here and each time is better than the last. A

TLDR: There were some hits and misses for me at Rich Table, but overall it was a nice meal and I'd go back eventually! My favorite items were the porcini doughnuts and little gem salad. I'd personally pass on the sardine chip and their famous tonnarelli pasta in the future. ------ FOOD: 1. Porcini Doughnuts (4.5/5): Think of these as dense doughnut holes but instead of a sugary coating, it's an earthy mushroom / umami flavor. The raclette cheese is SUPER light and airy, so it's a good complement but it doesn't have a strong cheese flavor. These doughnuts come out freshly made. This comes with ~5-6 doughnuts so it's perfect for sharing. 2. Little Gems salad (4/5): This has a really bright tomato-based dressing that we absolutely loved. We also loved the popped grains. We ended up ordering two of these, though this is definitely expensive for what it is. 3. Ribeye (4/5): This is a quite fatty cut of steak which is really tasty but not always what people expect. It almost reminded me more of a pork chop. Still, it was good and the creamed corn was nice too, though a little too sweet given the steak itself already had a lot of flavor. 4. Maguro Zuke (aka Tuna Crudo, 3/5): This was fine. Barely any crudo in this dish though -- a lot of the space was just the thinly sliced fruit. 5. Tonnarelli (3/5): I thought I was going to love this pasta but when I took my first bite I realized that this is extremely al dente (like, if I bent a noodle with my fork it might snap in two) and extremely salty. This is indeed very rich, and you sort of get a fishy aftertaste which reminds you that there's uni in this, but not in the way I think I wanted. Anyway, this is a crowd favorite and what they're known for, so you should try for yourself too! 6. Sardine Chip (2/5): Oh wow, this was a lot to take in. The chip itself was half soggy, which was immediately not a good side. The sardine was fine, it was what I expected. But the combo of the horseradish in the creme fraiche combined with the fishy sardine and the soggy chip just made this not enjoyable at all. ------ SERVICE: * Service was good, everyone was very welcoming and everyone greeted us as we entered and left. Our water was always poured for us, we never felt rushed, and they checked in before our meal to make sure we didn't need to be gone by a certain time. It helped with the pacing a lot. ------ ENVIRONMENT: * This is a pretty casual feeling restaurant despite the prices. It feels like you're in a barn or in the countryside somewhere, which is super cute! * The tables are pretty close together, so you literally have to squeeze between tables and you can hear everything people are talking about * RT is on a beautiful corner of Hayes and right across the street from the highly-rated Loquat bakery * Overall this is a pretty small restaurant so not a place for large gatherings but a cozy setting for a small group or one-on-one

Came back for round 3. Scored a last minute reservation at 5pm when the restaurant opens. Once the restaurant is filled, it can get a bit noisy. Porch rocker: the milk washed cocktail goes down very smoothly and takes like an iced tea on a warm day. I was surprised to not be able to taste any of the spice from the rye whiskey and is a good option for those looking for a non-spirit forward option. Porcini doughnuts (5/5) A staple on their menu. Lovely umami flavors and loved the lightness of the donuts. Paired well with the raclette cheese. My only gripe of the dish was that I wish it came with more cheese! Chicken liver mousse (4/5) Talk: The kumquat added some nice freshness to the richness of the mousse. The cookies were quite substantial. Squid ink bucatini (4/5): Mixing in the bone marrow reminded me of the famous Bestia dish in LA and added a lot of richness. I loved the al dente nature of the pasta. Trout "Al pastor" (2-3/5): Although the fish was cooked well, it seemed a bit incohesive of a dish with the corn tostada on the side that I wasn't sure what to do with (deconstructed fish taco?). The flavors were also a surprise as it didn't fit the typical Californian flavors of the rest of the dish, but would be something I would find at a Latin restaurant. It was also on the spicier side, which was a surprise especially considering the delicate nature of the trout. Our server was curious why we didn't finish the dish since we demolished everything else and when we told her it our thoughts, she immediately removed it from the bill, which was an unnecessary, but kind gesture. They came again a complimentary dessert that was reminiscing of a thin mint. This must be a staple for celebrations as they gave it to us last time for a celebration, which was very refreshing.

It is a good spot for small groups (up to 6), celebrations, and birthdays. The tables are close, very intimate, and loud. They are known for their signature cocktails. Our favorite of the night was "Hell Yeah." All dishes are shareable; you can share a pasta dish and still get a main dish. Everything was good! I don't think we had anything bad. Sardine Chip (delicious dip), Blue Fin Tuna Toast Dried Porcini Dughnut (raclette was to die for) Duck Confit (super soft, moist) Squid ink bucatini with bone marrow (I'm a sucker for bone marrow and lots of seafood!)
