About the restaurant

Named for Capri, a culinary crossroads for Mediterranean-Rim cuisine, Cetrella's 23-year fine dining appears in Gourmet Magazine, MODERN LUXURY Silicon Valley Magazine, among others. The dining room's atmospheric Venetian plaster colors evoke sea and sky, sand and cliffs, foliage and forestry, opening to a Spanish-tiled Paseo, teaching kitchen and underground speakeasy.

About the restaurant

**Welcome to Sushi Hakko on Union St. + Fillmore St.**
We'd like to offer our tasting menu that's reflecting Chef Alex Kim and his team's pursuit of top notch sushi experience. Our approach is a harmonious crossover of authentic Edo-mae style with Western skill. From fish to rice, cooking rice to garnish prep - a true synergy of not only Californian but Japan.

**Sushi Bar Experience**
For the best experience of our tasting menu, we'd recommend the sushi bar seating, where chef will serve and explain the dish by dish, piece by piece with an extensive information of the skills and ingredients.

**Regular Tables**
Our regular tables are also available for the tasting menu and you can make a reservation at any time slot to your convenience.

*Large Group*
For any party of 7 or more, please kindly call us at 415.814.2886 or email at sushihakko@gmail.com. We will get back to you asap.

All parties will be subject to a 20% service charge.

We look forward to serving you soon.

About the restaurant

Avenida Modern Filipino Restaurant and Bar was inspired by the dynamic lifestyle of Avenida Rizal, one of the main thoroughfares in the Old Manila during the pre and post World War II era. It was named after the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal.

For decades, Avenida Rizal was a melting pot as well as the mecca for entertainment and dining in the Philippines.

Being the center of Old Manila’s social life, Avenida Rizal was also famous for its Art Deco as well as its theaters and opera house where performing arts lovers came to watch zarzuelas, vaudeville acts and stage plays. The theaters were designed by very well respected architects who were later honored as National Artists.

Avenida Restaurant would like to pay homage to the glory days of the Old Manila.

What a great experience we had! We visited T'zunun's on Mother's Day and were fortunate to sit on the patio out back. Everything about our visit was great, from the table location to the atmosphere to the food quality and speed of service. We sampled several items from the menu, with the ceviche being our least favorite (but still good). We highly recommend this modern Mexican restaurant to families, couples, and anyone looking for good food and drinks!
