I’ve been to both the bathhouse and restaurant. The bathhouse is small, but nice. Locker rooms are very cramped, but the sauna, steam room and bath itself didn’t feel overly crowded. Definitely make a reservation in advance.

Absolutely beautiful bathhouse. Unfortunately it’s not in the best part of the city so if your out of town I suggest using Uber or Lyft to get here. It is well worth the cost of the ride. They have a steam room, sauna, warm pool and even a Japanese Toto toilet in the restroom.

Bath: Beautiful facility, very clean and artistically designed. The steam room is intense (in a good way)! I was disappointed by a few things though. The bath is in need of a cold pool; I would much rather dunk in a cold pool instead of take a cold shower. There are only three chairs to sit and relax on, this is hardly enough! Noise: the clientele chat it up and it is fine to socialize, at a whisper. Every Onsen I’ve been to has been very peaceful and quiet and if noise increases, the service will remind clients to moderate the noise with a polite shush or a bell. The service staff were great at keeping the space clean but did nothing to moderate noise, which was disappointing.

Really great concept + beautifully designed. The baths are a little pricy considering you don’t get all the amenities of a full spa. Essentially there is a hot tub (couldn’t turn on the jets), a stream room + a sauna. Steam room is small holds maybe four people comfortably. Even then two people need to sit close to where the steam comes out (which they warn you not to do). The spa is small the bathroom is in the spa area with three showers. Essentially it gets very wet in that area so it’s hard to get dressed and then get ready like doing your hair and makeup.

I had been waiting forever to eat here and boy was it worth it. It’s a small plates restaurant so for two of us the recommended we order around 7 plates. 7 plates was probably two many for us and could have survived on 5.

The food was great. Sad that you need a bouncer at the door but the area is shady at best.

There is only one place better to eat than ONSEN Bath & Restaurant… that my fiend is Japan itself. This scrumptious sanctuary is a perfect realization of art, peace and nurturing. A “Zen Yakatori” if you will. I can only scratch the surface in the quality of food, preparation and plating. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL FOOD FOR LIFE.

Come for the bathhouse, stay for the delicious Japanese food. Unique place in SF (and Tenderloin) to unwind, relax, and have a solid meal.

The bath here is amazing. One rate place that encouraged me to hold still long enough to breathe deeply. Alternating the 118 degree steam or dry sauna with cold plunge or pool was perfect. Hot tea to pair is delightful.
