What People Are Saying About House Restaurant

In Short – With a menu inspired by the overlapping culinary traditions of Chef Larry Tse's heritage, this frequently packed restaurant puts an innovative twist on the fusion concept. In a dining room with blond wood tables, a slate floor and moss-colored walls punctuated by unobtrusive modern art prints, patrons delight in the carefully assembled wine list and sup on entrees like flatiron steak atop warm wasabi noodles and chicken breast with roasted Portobello mushrooms drizzled in white truffle oil sauce.

DELICIOUS AND FRIENDLY
by FussonaBudget
Whenever I've got guests in town I take them to The House and we all leave feeling well fed and happy with the relatively low cost. Great fish dishes with lots of imaginative pairings, wonderful salads, to-die-for-sandwiches at lunch, and satisfying desserts. The only drawbacks are: too small a space for the number of guests (but everyone's so happy that it still a good experience) and the meal is kind of rushed -- they actually get 4-5 seatings for dinner each night! But The House is still one of my favorite restaurants in The City. Cab-it as the North Beach parking is as bad as it gets. Also, be prepared for encounters with drunks spilling out onto the street from the next-door historic bar.
- Pros: Great food. Sufficient wine list. Well designed and executed dishes.
- Cons: As you can imagine, parking is a nightmare.

by SonomaLocal
Ask the server what they recommend and just go with that, they always know what the best dishes are that day. it's a small restaurant but service is professional and quick. just don't show up without a res you have a snowball's chance in hell of getting in.

best asian inspired experience ever off City Search restaurant suggestions!
by annie_moore
We dined here while traveling with friends from Europe after reading reviews & were absolutely thrilled with the experience!! Every single thing we had was perfectly prepared & delicious (and we're picky). The garlic noodles were to die for, all the fish dishes were lovely, tasty & inspired, and the desserts were crazy great (the passionfruit affair was divine.) Highly recommend - even our waitperson was lovely, not in-our-face, and her recommendations were all outstanding. Ok, guess you can tell, we think this place is a keeper! It is very small - which we didn't mind, & we came by cab, so don't know about neighborhood or parking. Prices were reasonable & in line with the quality. Enjoy!
- Pros: Everything we had was perfect & we're picky!
- Cons: none-maybe the size for some parties would be tight
