Sapphire D. "My friends and I love to cap a night out in San Francisco with a visit to the mint. It's become a tradition for us to stumble in after a long night and get some affordable drinks and scream sing our hearts out. I've been to several karaoke clubs in SF and while some might have better ambiance, the Mint has a charm that makes you feel right at home."

Rebekah T. "I've been here a couple times now, but our second time was the BEST. We decided to throw a birthday party for my nephew, who was home from college.We reserved a private Karaoke room for AYCE hot pot and it was FUN. We ordered a ton of appetizers, meats, veggies, sashimi, rice, noodles, fruit and drinks. We had three different hot pots that were split, so six different broths. It was $44 for each adult for the private room (All you can eat and drink), Like $19 for kids and my 3 year old was free. I was worried that the kids would not like to do the hot pot, but they loved getting served. When we weren't sharing plates, we were passing that mic. Even people who didn't want to sing, had a blast and were picking songs. It was so fun, we all had a blast and left so full."

Marti L. "3.5 stars. AYCE hot pot or kbbq dinner for $32.99 per person.We decided to try their hot pot option. They offer shared or individual pots. And we liked that there's also a split option for individual pots. Ordering is through a phone app, which is not too convenient when you're doing AYCE with multiple people. We were limited to 3 items per person per round, which seemed restrictive but actually not. The menu though was smaller compared to other places we've been to. We enjoyed the supreme beef and lamb, other meats were fine. They could do better with portion sizes. We only got 4 pieces of shrimp, mussels, fish tofu each in one order but then bowl full of fish filet and squid. There was so much that it felt like we were given a whole filet and squid. Vegetable options were also limited and sadly not fresh. Some were frozen and others were old and browning.But there were enough items we liked and we left very full.Parking: the plaza is under construction right now, so parking can be challenging."

KC W. "In a city where happy hour is increasingly expensive, Taisho offers an affordable happy hour with a good variety of food options! My friend and I went on a Tuesday evening and there were a few other groups but it didn't fill up, so it was nice to still be able to hold a conversation without shouting. We ordered the Taisho fries, kalua pork nachos, and katsu curry, along with a pint of Sapporo each. I do wish there were more drink options on the HH menu, but the food options made up for it. We were shocked that even the entrees only cost $6 at most, and the portions were decent too. While the food wasn't anything outstanding, it was definitely solid and I'm glad nothing was too salty (especially the fries and nachos). There was a good amount of pork in the nachos too, and for my fellow cilantro haters, take comfort in knowing the pico de gallo didn't have any - phew! I do wish the katsu curry had a bit more curry though, as the ratio to meat seemed a bit off, but I enjoyed how crispy the katsu was. Taisho fries were solid too, though it's hard to go wrong with potato! Our server checked on us pretty regularly, though honestly it would've been fine if she left us alone a tad more LOL introvert problems. The one thing was that the tables were super sticky - not sure if just ours or if they're all like that. Overall, this is a great affordable happy hour spot and I would def come back!"

J Z. "The restaurant is new to the inner Richmond and is open for dim sum during the day and full dinner menu in the evenings. We had dinner there and received great service and very tasty food. We ordered a chicken and corn soup - was much larger than we expected. The chicken is diced - much better than some places that have ground chicken. We also ordered the sizzling short rib plate - meat is tender with a very nice peppery sauce. My favorite was the Egg Tofu over Pea Sprouts - the egg tofu was delicious while the pea sprouts were tender. And to top things off - we got a bowl of mango pudding that was also very good. You should check it out and support our local Richmond restaurant!!"

M S. "My favorite place in the city for Mongolian Food! Try the Mongolian Dumpling Soup, which has a heart beefy flavor with succulent dumplings and little strips of beef. Perfect for a rainy day.The ambience is warm, muted greys and earthtones, and lounge-like with chill out music and TVs on but now too loud. Not too crowded. Good date night spot to try something new!"

Michael R. "First time at the Clement Sakesan. Came for happy hour and was not disappointed. Very good pricing for the quality of food. Extremely attentive service that always has needs in mind. Takoyaki was solid, roll with unagi hit the spot and the mackerel was fantastic. Seated in those sunken tables for the most fun experience."
