"Hed 11, which is located in Japantown's Kimpton Hotel Enso, was No. 7 on Yelp's list. The restaurant from owner Naruephon "Billie" Wannajaro and chef Piriya "Saint" Boonprasan showcases lesser-known Thai cuisines and received Michelin Guide recognition shortly after opening in May 2024. Diners can choose between an eight-course tasting menu for $97 per person or an 11-course menu for $139 per person, with dishes ranging from a tom kha spot prawn taco to Hokkaido scallops served in a papaya salad with rice noodles."
"Yelp named Caché No. 12 on its list. Florent Thomas and chef Simon Mounier, who met while working at a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in France, opened Caché in the Inner Sunset in March 2025. The cozy bistro has a more casual vibe than the fine dining restaurants the duo used to work in, and it's known for its seafood, from surf and turf crudo to sea bream sashimi and even an octopus hot dog."
