Situated in the heart of Temple Nightclub in San Francisco, Ki is a modern take on a tried-and-true Japanese establishment: the venerable izakaya. In times of climate change, resource scarcity, and consumer confusion, Ki reconsiders conventional behavior and questions old paradigms—Ki is the izakaya for the 21st Century: comfortably chic, deliciously sustainable, and completely unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Ki offers patrons an opportunity to experience a modern, educated interpretation of classic Japanese fare. Sushi, yakitori, and other classic izakaya dishes are reinvented through the lenses of sustainability and local/seasonal awareness—bringing the allure and delicacy of this popular cuisine to the SoMa community while offering an eco-sensitive experience. Through this innovation, creativity, and the betterment of the planet, Ki embodies an enlightened consciousness of greater purpose.

"This place is one of a kind! Me and my BF came here 2 times already and we can't wait to come back! Their sashimi is so tasteful you don't even need seasoning. Everything in the menu is different(on a good way) in what we are used to in Japanese restaurants. " - Yelp Reviewer Lara B., Alameda, CA 06/28/11

"This place is swanky, and has a cool modern feel. Dim lights, with walls of neon colors that light up with room, and awesome modern japanese/asian art on the walls. " - Yelp Reviewer Billy P., Anaheim, CA 06/25/11

"Ki for me was delightful! I thought the decor was really nicely done. I've never dined in a sushi bar with this kind of design. It's really cool with all the walls changing colors. The light up menus are really nice too! " - Yelp Reviewer Ang T., San Francisco, CA 05/19/11
