This is one of the best restaurant in the world. Each bite takes you though an amazing and unforgettable journey. Totally worth the money.The truffle Baozi is my favorite, simple but rich in flavor. Their signature stuffed mussel shows complex techniques and tastes layers of freshness.

Yesterday was the first time we went to this place. But It is definitely not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the attentive service, with the superb cuisine and fine drinks and with the friendly cost. We will surely return there soon.

I would give Benu 10 stars if I could. My partner took me here for my birthday and it wasn't just the best meal I've ever had...it was a beautiful life experience. The food, the service, the ambiance...all impeccable. The wine pairing made an incredible experience that much more amazing. Benu is worth every penny and more. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Minimalist SoMa spot featuring innovative, ultrapricey American cuisine and renowned tasting menu.

It's won all the accolades, and it is definitely priced to match. Personally, I think the food is technically excellent but it doesn't resonate with me. To each their own.

Service, Quality of food and the selection of all the service ware were all equally exquisite. This is how a truly wonderful important dinner is served in China, Japan and Korea. The skill of the chef, the quality of food and the full presentation. Benu has achieved that and I will be coming back for their Chrysanthemum tofu soup, their vegetarian Shark fin soup, their roasted quail and the rest of all their wonderful offerings.

Shelter-in-place version: for San Ho WonThis is as close to fine dining as we’ve gotten during the shelter-in-place. Food is well presented for Tupperware (!) and everything is tasty and interesting. Comes with reheating instructions where relevant. Service was great. Highly recommended for a change of pace

This is a fine dinning place that pays no attention to ambiance. Service was great, food was amazing, but the restaurant needs update. Especially the AC system. This is a unique dinning experience for Prime Rib. The prime rib is cooked to perfection and carved next to the table. Portion is generous. Price is a bit on the higher side, but within the range of fine restaurants in San Fran. We enjoyed it, just wish the room temp has been a bit cooler in such a packed restaurant.

Benu has earned everyone of its 3 Michelin Stars. The tasting menu marries Korean and Californian cuisine - bold Korean flavors and fresh, local produce. There is a extensive wine list with an electic mix of French and American wines as well as a great sake. For those with dietary preferences or restrictions, Benu can readily accommodate your needs (with a call beforehand). While the experience is pricey overall, the service and food are wonderful and worth it. A nice choice for a special occasion.

Three of us went for dinner booked 1 week before we go for dinner. It’ll need reservation And prepaid on opentable. It was a great dinner, my favorite food in that dinner was ginseng honey butter bread and abalone chicken wings. The price for 3 plus tips and tax would be around 1000$ USD. It’s Michelin 3 stars!

Benu was a fantastic experience. The whole combination of delicious food, exquisite presentation, and highly attentive wait staff made this place go above and beyond. For example, my girlfriend is left handed and once the wait staff noticed they made sure to shift the utensils to the left side and serve her that way. Plates are beautiful and tasty! Definitely a place to consider for any special occasion despite the price.

Amazing tasting menu, lovely ambiance and good service. They also keep track of what you've eaten so the menu is different everytime you go. Great for celebrating special occasions.

Benu was one of the best meals of my life. The hospitality was welcoming without being stuffy. The beverage pairing was perfect with the food. The food was flawless, I can’t think of a dish that I didn’t like. I wish I lived in SF so I could go all the time.

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. The food was exquisite and and the service was phenomenal. The tasting menu the night I went was Asian-inspired which worked out because Asian cuisine is my favorite. The quality of the food is beyond what I've had in a long time, but this is expected considering the cost to be ~$400/person. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back another day.

Benu has 3 Michelin stars for a reason. Don't let the negative reviews steer you away.
