Sometimes you just have that favorite restaurant of yours that you always go to. You take your friends there. You take your family there. You even recommend it to everyone. I always keep one particular restaurant in mind when I’m out and about on Haight Street.

Cha Cha Cha is located in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, CA. This place shies away from fine dining and focuses more on having a more casual vibe. For one, this spot sells tapas, or small plates, along with their entrées. This creates an opportunity for you to try out many of their offerings without getting too full. Ordering and sharing your food with others creates a feeling of closeness. Out of all of the times I’ve ate here, I have always chose to order tapas over the entrées. Let’s not forget about their popular Sangria. Go ahead and try a pitcher. Pair Cha Cha Cha’s food with the Sangria and prepare yourself for a fun time.

My personal favorite dish at Cha Cha Cha is the Cajun Shrimp. Succulent shrimp is served soaked in a vibrant orange spicy cream sauce is set inside of a cast iron skillet. The taste of the sauce will draw you in. Prepare to ask for extra bread for this dish. My friends and I always use bread the soak up every last drip of the sauce.

Keep in mind that this place can get packed to the point where it’ll get loud. This isn’t an ideal restaurant to try and hold intimate conversations. Once you step inside, you’ll get that feeling right away. Just have fun. Sip on some Sangria and and relax.

It’s a spot for dates because…
The atmosphere is upbeat and has a feeling of fun surrounding it. If you want to dine at a casual spot, look no further than Cha Cha Cha.

First of all, I want to give a special shout out to the great people at Foodbuzz. They hosted a special dinner for Featured Publishers at Gochi, a Japanese fusion tapas restaurant. We had the opportunity to meet up with fellow foodies. It was a great experience and we hope to see all of you soon.

The atmosphere is great. It’s a very lively spot. The Japanese style décor really brings this place together. We were able to sit in the middle table and I was surprised that you had to remove your shoes to get to the table. At first I thought we were going to have a traditional Japanese dinner where you would sit on your knees or be cross legged. The way the table was set up gave it this illusion. You actually sit down normally, with the table being low.

The food was very delicious. It was interesting to see how they took traditional Japanese dishes and added a bit of flare to them. We started off with the Kinoko Frisee Warm Salad. A tasty dish that was simple. I was hyped when I saw the Hamachi Carpaccio. As a big Hamachi lover, I really enjoyed it. Next were the Renkon Hasami, which was a shrimp and lotus deep fried dish, and Kani Cream Croquette, a deep fried crab dish. These two dishes really packed some flavor. I know I’ll be ordering these when we go back.

The food didn’t stop there. A chicken and eggplant dish called Tori Nasu Garlic Chicken came out. The sauce was sweet and would go perfect with a little bit of rice. That’s not all. The highlight of the night was when a pizza came out. The Kurobuta Chasu Miso Fusion Pizza surprised me. I would never expect such a dish to come out of a Japanese restaurant. Hands down, it was my favorite dish of the night.

Gochi is definitely worth checking out. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the dishes these folks serve up. They combine great flavor, interesting combinations of food, and a lively atmosphere. You are sure to have a great time at this spot.
