I am a big fan of Z & Y Restaurant. However, the long waiting line scares me even in non-busy hours(3PM). I heard Chef Han opened another restaurant just across the street. So I just wanted to try my luck since there is no waiting time(1PM) for Z & Y Bistro.

Good service and real tasty food. They have a smaller menu than the original Z & Y but the focus on drinks, tapas, noodles and yakitori allows them to really deliver well on it. I really enjoyed my Chongqing noodles and the chicken yakitori was perfectly seasoned. Service was good and prompt. It wasn’t busy during lunch and the lunch prices are pretty fair

Z&Y Bistro is really a hidden gem in San Francisco Chinatown. It’s an elegant bar with amazing small dishes that goes well with wine. Z&Y Bistro and the famous Z&Y Restaurant have the same owner. All of their Chinese cuisines are delicious (bamboo shoots, spicy beef jerkey, etc.) The skewers are amazing too. Personally I love chicken livers and duck breasts; the bacon wrapped shrimps are nice too. The skewers are of very authentic Japanese style and the price is very reasonable. We have been to several yakitori places in the South Bay but none of them is as good as this one.

Sister restaurant of Z&Y across the street, this joint in Chinatown serves some dishes that you’d find in Z&Y (mostly Sichuan dishes like chili beef and 夫妻肺片）as well as various yakitori stuff, hot pots (sukiyaki, seafood hotpot) and noodle soups. The duck breast yakitori was our favorite. A good selection of beer and wine to go with the food.

There’s two Z & Y in close proximity so be aware of that. The “bistro” which is the one I went to has the fusion fares.

This place is fantastic. It’s clean and chic. The food is authentic as it can get! The spice reminded me just as Chongqing food was (I only got spicy food). It had tastes of numbing powder.

It was totally a surprise compared to the food in the original restaurant. Went for the skewer and surprised by the quality of both skewers and main dishes. Def more authentic Sichuan experience in the city. Although price is a bit high for the volume (e.g. one small bowl of rice for $2.5), the quality of the dishes made it worthwhile. cannot wait to go back again to try out different thing.

Wonderful Asian fusion restaurant. Service was top notch and the food was excellent. I loved the spicy clams and the Berkshire pork neck skewers, the pickled tomatoes where a revelation.
