Nisei combines refined cooking technique, Japanese-American flavors and California's finest local ingredients to provide an experience unlike any other. The restaurant is an expression of Chef David Yoshimura's unique experience as a chef and second generation Japanese American, or Nisei. Nisei is nestled in the beautiful neighborhood of Russian Hill in San Francisco, sitting proudly next to our sister bar, Iris.
Within one year of opening, Chef David Yoshimura and his team earned one Michelin Star, Michelin’s “Young Chef Award”, a James Beard nomination, and many other esteemed accolades. Sophia Lemaire, the Assistant Sommelier, boasts an impressive beverage program which cleverly pairs wine & sake from around the world with cuisine at Nisei.
