On the edge of the Financial District, conveniently located next to the large Stockton-Sutter parking garage, this sleek fusion restaurant specializes in Southeast Asian cuisine. The contemporary Asian motif plays out in the restaurant’s décor—long bamboo-rimmed bar and artifacts such as face masks and lanterns—and on the menu, which includes dishes like Indonesian corn fritters, Malaysian lamb shank, and tiger prawns satay. The cellar brewery provides microbrew beer in addition to an extensive list of wine and cocktails; the after-work crowd often imbibes. A flamenco guitarist performs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
