5A5 Steak Lounge

It's a high-end steak house, but where large chains like Ruth's Chris fall short in a genuine feel of exclusivity, 5A5 excels. Our server demonstrated a keen knowledge of the menu items, recommend appropriate food/drink pairings, and cared for our table of 6 as though we were the only folks in the joint.

This restaurant earns the title of one of the top 25 Steakhouses in the country. The 5 A ribeye was excellent. The mac and cheese gnocchi was delicious. Hana paired an fantastic wine (Martin Ray) with my meal. The bacon Bread was unique and good. This place has a good atmosphere for business or a group meeting. The staff was great and the service met or exceeded expectations at every level. If you are a steak lover this place is a must.The only thing that could make it better is live music and a larger portion option. As far as price, you get the quality you pay for.

It was a mediocre steakhouse. I got the bass. Cooked to perfection and tasted great. Ordered the banana pudding fluff thing. Cool to watch the server break the puff and mash it with the topping. Looks big but it was gone in like 3 bites. Staff were all very cool.

I frequent this marvelous place from time to time since I enjoy the special air that is part of this restaurant. The team is exceptionally helpful and well trained. The service is awfully efficient. Not to mention, the food they prepare is first-rate. I have been there often and I was always happy. The price is decent. I recommend this place to my friends and family.

It's ok, nothing to brag about at this price point vs quality. Service have been excellent the times I have visited. Establishment is clean. Drinks are consistent. Good neighborhood. Street parking shouldn't be an issue. Doesn't seem to get to crowded during week nights. I would frequent more often if the food quality was higher up. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but for the price it's not great.

Top notch! Prices are a bit extreme, but you'll be pleased with the beautiful interior, expert service and hospitality, and top notch food 👍

The food, the impeccable attention to service, the location. Everything was just right. Steaming hot, dripping deliciousness, served within a reasonably short time. The alcoholic drink options were vast and varied. Everything made this visit perfect. Keep it up!

Exceptional experience with Japanese steaks and excellent wine. One of my top 5 SF restaurants. Prices relatively high but you know what you pay for.

Got our private dining area reservations with the manager, Kevin Lee, for the win and accommodated us during the dining experience as well! This place turns into a nightclub after dining hours. It's a lounge and detailed with the refined decor with dimly our setting.One goes here primarily for the meat and savory palates of the steak and other delectable entrees. Do get the steak tartare as an appetizer and spoonful of hamachi truffle, yum! Their meat is mightily meaty and flavored with delicious snazz! They were generous with their portions so I'd recommend getting all in each bite sized, so there will be good variety to be shared! Sweet desserts are made nicely here if one has room after all its glorious meat dishes! Sorbet is a refreshing win! Ambiance, service, quality of food and dining scene is all here! Wine and dine time!

Good steak and great staff :)

While the service is great, the food is very mediocre. The meat on both steaks that we ordered was overcooked and dry. The starters were OK, but again, nothing to rave about. I would consider other options since the food should be much better than this at this price point

Have you ever had steak that tastes like butter? That's what they do here..they get beef from Japan called Wagyu and it's amazing. An upscale place with a very very very interesting bathroom situation. I'll let that be a surprise. But back to the beef. We had the ribeye 4oz and it was great, almost would have been better without the truffle butter (not that kind) and just plain but it was great nonetheless. The prices are reasonable for the area and the cut off meat. This makes for a great date night where you can share a few things. For sure will come back and try more of the beef offerings.

Japanese steakhouse that sets the bar very high for steak quality. You can spend well north of $600 on a selection of wagyu beef. However most steaks are around $70. Sides are a la cart and can serve a few diners. The Dessert list was standard fare. Recommended.

great, impeccable service and food. it's one of my go to steak houses. everybody goes to Harris's or house of prime rib but 5A5 is Judy as good and they make great martinis just the way you order them

So amazing! One of the best meals I've had . We got the wagyu, deluxe sea food tower, truffle Mac n cheese , truffle mashed potatoes and an amazing dessert. The steak was so rich and melted in your mouth. The truffle sides were some of the best sides I've ever had. And the dessert was delicious as well.

Amazing experience. Great staff.

Lobster tempura was the best dish on the menu, which says something both about how good it was and how the steak here (ok, not great) was despite the showmanship about wagyu marbling. Nice spacious restaurant, friendly service.

Phenomenally overpriced and overrated. If a $59 filet was tasty and cut like butter, it MAY be worth it. But sadly that wasn't the case. $33 for a side of truffle mac n cheese with lobster was good, not great, and barely large enough for 2. Atmosphere was nice, though it looks like something from generic from the 1980s. Service was excellent, though.

I like this place! They prepare great meals, their menu is rich, The chief cook in that place is a professional, I like a lot eating all their dishes. The food is always of high class, the attitude towards the visitors is efficient. I go often to this restaurant and I was never unsatisfied. I recommend it to all my friends.

Incredible selection of wagyu beef! Was cooked to perfection & melted in your mouth.
