Chancelor ShayDecember 31, 2013The filet is the best, most inexpensive piece of meat I've ever tasted. Have had world class filets (kind of my thing) and this is awesome! Get with the blue cheese wedge salad for a perfect pairing.
Marc R?erSeptember 22, 2014Among the best steak restaurants in SF, a decent wine list as well as a rather stylish interior make it different to the traditional steak houses
Sophyan JulioApril 30, 2016The T-bone was a high quality meat, complimented with a sweet, hearty meat sauce and yolk. Iceberg was crispy and fresh. Fellow diner ordered the filet but didn't recommend it.
Lori HilbinkMarch 14, 2014Steaks are amazing, truffle fries to die for, bacon bread superb and service over the top...bathrooms a must see. We enjoyed the hell out off ourselves and had an 8 and 10 yr old in tow!!!!
heatJuly 19, 20135 = 5 Senses, and A5 = Wagyu marbled beef from Japan. This is a modern, lively steak lounge with a celebrated bar scene. A touch of Vegas high-rolling, if you will.
herm pugayApril 7, 2015Try the lobster tempera and one of the A5 steaks. As long as you don't mind the expense. Overall a good restaurant to bring on a date.
DensApril 17, 2013There is a $475 wagu beef sampler on the menu. We split it w/ 8 people & I feel like we got our money's worth. Ask the waiter to show you the beef *before* it's cooked for a "Cuts o' Beef 101" lesson- Jinnie LMarch 8, 2015the truffle fries are amazing♡ service is always always excellent. must try the bone in rib-eye with aged balsamic demi glaze :)
- DeniseSeptember 1, 2013Server Ali is great - personable, knowledgeable, fun but not overbearing! A5 grade Wagyu is phenomenal! Also loved: hamachi shooters, truffled mac and cheese with lobster.
Smoochella ScrumptiousNovember 14, 2012The lobster mac and cheese is sooooo delicious. Basically everything is good. The ribs and chips, the beet salad, the chard, the potatoes and bacon
Alice OhJune 11, 2013The atmosphere is great. The ribeye is definitely a house specialty, and the portion is decent. Clam chowder was a bit salty for my liking, but their dessert is amazing.
Laurence BOctober 29, 2015The regular steaks are great. The fancy Kobe is a nice treat but the cheaper steaks are a great value.
David SteinJuly 1, 2015The wagyu sashimi and Yuma spoons are great. This is my new go-to steakhouse in sf.
- David HowlandOctober 17, 2015Steak was good, albeit a little undercooked. Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the bacon bread.
Hamachi Shooters! and of course the steak. However, if you plan on having a cheat night, order the bread pudding than contact me for personal Training at www.personaltrainingSF.com ;)
Jesseka KellyFebruary 14, 2013The food is to die for.. try the Colorado lamb duo..exquisite! The waiter is awesome so be sure to tip generously!
Kobe beef amazing. 4 oz. Is all you need, honestly it's so rich! Compare 50-50 with 100%- Aaron DraczynskiOctober 9, 2012Order the World of Wagyu tasting and prepare yourself for some of the most amazing steak you'll ever have.
Matthew DeitersJanuary 11, 2015The is the type of steak house that serves glasses of wine from the night before (stores by barely corking). Bartender refused to pour from new bottle.
The Daily SipMarch 15, 2012Be sure to try the 80 Sips Challenge tasting menu March 19th-30th and rate the wines for a chance to win $500! www.bottlenotes.com/challenge
May Briosos MoonOctober 22, 2011the Lychee Martini was the best I have ever tasted. Hits the right spot while you are trying to eat the 28 oz boned ribeye....Yummy
Mark HowardNovember 19, 2012If you come to 5A5 and don't try the lobster tempura app.. you are blowing it. Price is steep, but you will never forget it.
Denis CHEVALERAUDSeptember 6, 2011Amazing food and a so nice place. Simply our best diner in 15 day in us. Be careful they close at 9pm. Burner Denis
Subhash RoySeptember 10, 2013Hamachi shooters are great, oyster shooter is velvety. Great experience.
Frank TulpOctober 11, 2012The regular bone in ribeye is the best in the city. Ask for the sauce on the side.
Megan MastersJanuary 31, 2016Great steak, mediocre service. Waiting an hour+ after ordering doesn't match the price point they sell...
Steaks are meh but party rock Saturday nights are crackin'! Love the older (late 20s-early 30s), non-ghetto crowd. GL ONLY!
OlaMarch 31, 2012If its too crowded upstairs, take the elevator to the basement and check out the bar there.
42nd Street MoonSeptember 28, 20115A5 offers those attending 42nd Street Moon a complimentary glass of champagne. Night of performance only, please.
