    Getting a reservation at Sun Moon Studio was a real challenge, but after a few weeks of trying we finally snagged one, and it was well worth the effort. The restaurant is intimate and elegant, with only four tables, and gives a feeling of being in a cozy, secretive, and exclusive space. The food was delicious, creative, and beautifully presented. Our favorites were the egg custard tart with salmon roe, Taiwanese sausage on a brioche bun, salt and pepper butterkin squash, and Stemple Creek pork chop. Service was prompt and efficient throughout the evening and Alan and Sarah came by the table numerous times to present courses as well. At the end of the main course, we were offered a complimentary basket of French fries (supposedly Alan’s favorite). We were each gifted individually wrapped, homemade olive cake as we were getting ready to depart, . Alan and Sarah waited by the door to thank us for dining there. It was such a wonderful dining experience and we look forward to returning for another scrumptious meal.

    Absolutely incredible. The very best meal and dining experience we've had in many, many years (and we've eaten all over SF, Napa, and Oakland.) Everything was perfection from the food to the drinks to the service to the ambience. The food was sublime, the service was warm, attentive and on point, the portions were perfect, and the beverages were creative. The setting is cozy and intimate yet still very upscale and clean. We especially appreciated the two fun surprises at the end of the meal—I won't ruin the surprise by sharing here, you'll have to go and see for yourself ;-) An extra thoughtful touch was getting a follow-up message from the chefs the next day. Felt like a friend who was checking in with us after a great night out. Overall it was a 10/10 experience for us and we cannot wait to go back. Already looking forward to next time!

    An intimate and personal restaurant with an outstanding tasting menu. Food is Asian/Californian. Our meal was seafood based with imaginative combinations. Very warm service and ambience with personal care from chefs/owners. Highly recommend!!! Not cheap, but worth it!

    What an amazing experience. Definitely one of the most memorable meals of my life. The food was beautiful, thoughtful and delicious. The level of craftsmanship was evident in the tiniest details such as a perfectly toasted pistachio and the most crisp and flakey shell for the egg tart. I highly recommend the beverage pairing which elevated the flavors of each bite. I was impressed how warm and welcoming everyone was. I was greeted by my name when I walked inside a little unsure if I was in the right place. Every detail had a story and we learned so much. As an Oakland native, I loved that they partner and showcase the crafts of other Oakland businesses.
