Took a shot at Ponzu's dim sum happy hour. After seeing a recommendation for this restaurant online, I hoped for more. The dim sum menu was confusing, in fact I never did find one. Waitress was RUDE when I asked for it. Told me it was "right in front of me!" Well I never did see it and no, I wasn't drunk. All four in my party were confused. We ordered spring rolls, ahi tuna tartar, garlic naan, and chicken wings. Only the naan was great. My tofu wantons never did arrive, and we weren't charged for them. The waitress seemed HIGHLY annoyed that we might show up for dim sum. The drinks were great. Lychee-infused sake was excellent. Mix drinks were fantastic too, especially the lychee martini served in a stainless steel martini uh--glass. While this restaurant might be great in a city other than San Francisco, Ponzu just doesn't cut it with the local competition. Next time I need Asian food: Betelnut
