The best tasting menus in San Francisco, according to the experts: Michelin Guide, The Infatuation, and San Francisco Chronicle have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Ken comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Oakland and San Francisco.

Rank 1. Ken
Omakase Japanese
Six seats behind an unmarked door on Divisadero, Ken is the kind of omakase counter that rewards people who actually read their texts. The chef, a Hong Kong native who came up at respected Bay Area sushi bars, runs a menu that moves between classic nigiri and composed small plates, with cured egg yolk and preserved plum showing up where you'd least expect them. Unhurried, quiet, and booked well in advance.

Rank 2. Delage
Omakase Japanese
A tiny counter next to Swan's Market in Old Oakland, Delage runs an omakase-only format that mixes high-quality nigiri with kaiseki-style courses built around whatever local produce is at its peak. The chef, Mikiko Ando, treats a summer tomato with the same care usually given to imported delicacies. Eight courses, two seatings a night, and reservations that require more foresight than most people expect from a casual-looking room.
