Ki Sushi & Izakaya

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 these times of climate change, resource scarcity, and consumer confusion, we must reconsider our behavior and question old paradigms. Ki is the izakaya for the 21st Century: comfortable yet chic, delicious yet sustainable and unafraid to challenge the status quo. Through innovation, creativity and the betterment of the planet, Ki is the world’s first izakaya that is designed to be conscious of a greater purpose.

"Normally I would enjoy my time going to Ki. This time I did not get the friendly service from my past times. I thought they could be a bit rude and the host was not very accommodating."

"Overall, the building is rather tired. It is essentially a nightclub, which looks ok at night; not so much by day. The restaurant is to the right of the main nightclub hall and seemed bright with a reasonable ambiance, though in need of sprucing up (didn't seem overly clean somehow...). We, however, ate in the 'lounge' since we had a party of six. The 'lounge' is to the left of the nightclub hall, and maybe doubles as a cloak room by night... probably one of the most bizarre places I've paid to dine, and not in a good way..."
