Bushi-Tei Bistro, the long-awaited offshoot of the upscale French California fusion restaurant Bushi-tei, is slated for a soft opening on Wednesday, April 1st. Owner Tak Matsuba says that Bushi-tei's executive chef, Seiji "Waka" Wakabayashi, will run both kitchens. Under Wakabayashi's culinary leadership, Bushi-tei earned a coveted star from the Michelin Guide as well as three stars from San Francisco Chronicle's Michael Bauer. He has worked with Wolfgang Puck at Spago and was the executive chef at Ondine in Sausalito. This more casual spinoff will offer California fusion food with greater Asian influences such as "tonkatsu" or Japanese style pork cutlets, and Thai curry style crab. The average tab per person will be between $25 and $30.
Roughly the same size as its sibling, the bistro can seat up to 130 people and has a private banquet room for 40. Given its spaciousness, affordable prices and proximity to the Sundance Kabuki theaters, it is bound to be a popular spot for many movie-goers. Starting this Wednesday, Bushi-tei Bistro will be open for lunch and dinner service from 11:30am-9:30pm everyday except Tuesdays. Wine and beer. Location: 1581 Webster Street at Post in Japantown.
