Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Benu is the latest offering from acclaimed executive chef Corey Lee, best known for his James Beard Award-winning work at The French Laundry. The elegant, minimalist restaurant, which was opened to the public in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood in 2010, has received three Michelin stars and is a proud recipient of the AAA Five Diamond Award, acclaimed by international publications such as The New York Times as one of the American West Coast's best upscale restaurants. Couples can enjoy full tasting menus at dinner service Tuesdays through Saturdays, showcasing seafood, meat, and vegetable courses such as faux shark's fin and soup dumplings, Cantonese-style pork belly and blood sausage crepinette, and Beluga caviar with sweet sea urchin. An impressive wine list showcases more than 300 selections from across California and Europe, complemented by craft beers and imported sakes available by the glass. Diners should plan approximately three hours for dinner experiences and should notify the restaurant of any dietary concerns before showing up for reservations.
