Eight Tables by George Chen San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
Service was excellent, Dinner was not worth $600 for 2.
Overpriced. Not going there again.
We had the 9 course menu.
We dined from 5:30 - 9:00 pm from opening to closing. Unbelievable. We loved the family photos upon entrance. Incense wafting upon arrival. The spa vibes at our table. Neutral tones and perfect lighting. The design of each dish reflected artistic thoughtfulness. This was most obvious during the tour of flavors. We admired the frosted glass holding the soy milk noodles, for example. Pescatarians, gluten-free diners, have no worries. Even if they didn't confirm our dietary restrictions beforehand they remembered them on the customized menus. The silken egg custard with kumamoto oysters and caviar was a standout. We both loved in the gorgeous tour of flavors the center numbing bite and the liquid congee encased in tender tempura. When they accidentally brought out two meat-based rice dishes they made up for it in heaps. They brought back a pescatarian version and an extra taste for my sweetie to have with me, again. Then, they shaved black truffle all over our dishes. So many slices! What a lovely treat. I loved that our meal ended on a bold note. Sharp vinegary gai lan and tender squid in a spicy sauce I kept licking off of my chopsticks. Yes. 8 different kinds of citrus to cleanse the palette. Then, deconstructed boba! The milk tea ice cream used a black tea which tasted so clean and balanced. I wish we could have met the chefs to say thank you, it would have made our night. What a special delight.
Words cannot describe just what an incredible meal that I
Words cannot describe just what an incredible meal that I recently enjoyed at Eight Tables by George Chen. The concept of Eight Tables comes from the eponymous Chef and entrepreneur George Chen, as it replaced the long standing Gold Mountain restaurant that once stood along Broadway in San Francisco's Chinatown neighborhood for decades. Since their opening in early 2017, this four level establishment was taken down all the way down to the studs of was once a multi-level establishment, and is now home to China Live, Cold Drinks Bar, and of course Eight Tables, the latter of which is so named as they only have eight tables within their restaurant serving their highly-cultivated dishes just five days a week. Located on the second floor of this bustling complex, Eight Tables is certainly on the higher-end of meals you will enjoy when coming to the city, especially in Chinatown, as Executive Chef Floyd Nunn and his team have worked to create a specifically curated pre-fix menu that not only satiates all of your tastebuds, but lifts them to places in which you have never known to have existed before. Ever since they opened, I have wanted to come here and just take it all in, and recently I got the chance to with a special private dinner that I was allowed to take part of, as Chefs Chen and Nunn hosted our large party in their exclusive Gold Mountain Room, which is so named in honor of their predecessor. The aesthetic of Eight Tables intentionally resembles that of an exclusive unattainable speakeasy located on the streets of Hong Kong, as their entrance is not even on Broadway but resides on a back alleyway that leads to Columbus Avenue, which gives visitors the feeling of entering an exotic unknown locale. Our multi-course menu was highlighted by one of Eight Tables signature dishes, their Jiu Gong Ge, which translates into "nine grids" in Chinese. This entrée features nine differently prepared small bites using traditional Chinese ingredients that are found throughout Chinatown. Each bite had a flavor represented including that of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, numbing, spicy, fragrant, sharp, and smokey. Of these nuanced bites, the highlights were their numbing bite, which was a deep fried puff of goodness, and their fragrant bite, which was like a small rice cake that was light and airy, yet both tasted sublime. For our second course, we tried their Silken Egg Custard, which was your traditional egg custard steamed and prepared in a traditional way combined with Ossetra Caviar and topped with a Lily Bulb oyster. This entree was perfection in a bowl. For our third course, we enjoyed their Sea Bream served in a creamy broth with dried chili pepper and coriander. The flavorful broth alone served this dish so well, as I made sure to savor every bite that I could consume. Then we were able to enjoy one entrée split into two dishes, their Smoked Garlic Chicken, which was served with Eight Treasure Sauce, Bok Choy, and a dumpling filled with a porcini mushroom. The chicken was so plentiful that their kitchen staff quartered it for our table to share and enjoy the overall smokiness with every bite. With our meal at its conclusion, they served us one last course, a Barley Chocolate Ganache, which was so sublime in its plating that the exquisite taste only added to our overall tasting. I cannot imagine a better plated, served and prepared meal. Even small things like the staff coming out in unison to make sure that every plate was placed on our elongated table did not go unnoticed. Overall the pricing for our meal for our large was actually rather reasonable considering the premium food and service we enjoyed this evening. Eight Tables has lived up to the hype of what a special meal should be, and I for one am so glad that they are here in San Francisco's Chinatown, thriving and serving the community of food connoisseurs where they usually wouldn't find it. Every dish was prepared with such foresight and had a story to tell of which I was eager to learn more about. I now know where to come for that one special meal that I will remember and cherish for a lifetime, and that meal has taken place at Eight Tables by George Chen.

I went there once on a business trip a few days ago, and the overall feeling was pretty good, whether it was the taste of the food or the service gave me a more comfortable feeling.The environment is more elegant and cozy, and you won't feel very noisy
Special diets do not come here! No accomidation for
Special diets do not come here! No accomidation for vegetarian or pescatariI went to eight tables last night with two girlfriends. We haven't seen each other in person in a while and we're really excited about this restaurant. We all have extensive experience with fine dining. We explained to the restaurant that we had dietary requirements. Mostly that one of us ate everything and two of us or pescatarian. It was one of those experiences where they basically just take the meat off the plate and call it vegetarian. The worst part was they took the meat out of the person who ate everything's dishes and she was eating vegetarian. They offered no Fish, no tofu, no accommodation. The service was also very slow and inconsistent between courses. The slap in the face was that at the end of the meal after telling them that two of us don't eat meat they offered us a duck fat popcorn to take home.
The Asian food experience @ 8 tables is one of the best in
The Asian food experience @ 8 tables is one of the best in the West Coast! Exceptional food, drinks, service and the ambiance and decor is over the top chic minimalist.
We made resy for 8pm for a group of 7 for a birthday.
We ALL came early, and literally no one helped us and after many complaints, we still didn't get seated until 9pm. Yet, Another party came in after us and got seated right away, weird. Food service was extremely slow. And We ordered a bottle of sake and they gave us a whole different bottle without notifying us for what the bottle was or the price difference compared to the bottle we chose, until we had mentioned to a staff member and he said it was a diff bottle then what we ordered like ??? Ok lol. Didn't offer us the original bottle and didn't even apologize for their fuck up! Some of the staff didn't even know what some of the dishes were or even how to pronounce it when asked. For a place of this stature, we were EXTREMELY disappointed by their horrible service and food. I wish I can recommend this place, but we had such a bad experience with service on top of the food being bad. Would not come again and would not recommend anyone to spend thousands of dollars on a meal like this. Very disappointed and we all regret trying this place.
An incredible and memorable meal! Everything from the decor
An incredible and memorable meal! Everything from the decor to the staff, and especially the food was outstanding! The time and thought that clearly went into every aspect of this dining experience is on display in this beautifully curated dining experience. Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy each course chat with the staff and especially explore the amazing wine list. We love starting with the nine flavor first course to really open our tastebuds before diving in to some of the incredible seafood delicacies. This was Asian fine dining at a whole new level!
Elegant ambience and food presentation.
Every dish was excellent. Service was attentive, especially the front staff and the chef for accommodating my wife's dietary request. Excited to see my culture's cuisine elevated like this in the Bay Area. Only gripe is that the wine pourings were very small (more like a tasting).
Amazing experience and unreal place.
So refined, special, intimate, and crazy attentive. The food is so unique and a completely unique experience. Each course is very unique and filled with flavor. The photo is the first course of 9 different tastes and flavors! They have teas that are curated and so delicious. A phenomenal experience overall!!
Hefty price tag, well worth it. The attention to detail is impressive, and most importantly, the food is incredible.
Had an incredible dinner while on vacation. The sommelier and waitstaff were all extremely attentive and welcoming. The price point is very high, but the food, service, and ambience all live up to it. I got the wine pairing, and my wife got the non-alcoholic pairing. I would highly recommend either pairing. They add a lot to the experience, and if you're already spending the money on the dinner, you might as well go all the way. The music and the wine pairing both made the experience more approachable and playful. The music consisted of instrumental covers of well-known songs. My wife and I ended up playing name-that-tune in between courses. Still, the covers are atmospheric enough that they wouldn't put off those looking for a more serious and formal experience. The wine pairing had two somewhat interactive pairings. The first was a comparison of two different vintages of the same riesling, and the second was a 'guess that wine' sort of thing. Aside from being entertaining, it was a nice reminder to really pay attention to the flavours in each course and each glass. It was also presented by the sommelier in a manner that would be suitable for a variety of guests, from serious wine aficionados to complete beginners.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
