"One of those exceptional places in San Francisco where service is much better than food! Update 6/28 scratch the above, service is as bad as their food. Note below the reply of the business We went to dinner after a visit to the de Young museum, the place was empty but we trusted the good reviews… oi!! :(We had the paratha with coconut curry dip, not horrible, but nothing to remember. Not enough curry so, the already fatty bread dipped in a fatty milky sauce had no contrasting flavor to be enjoyable.Then we shared the noodle salad and the eggplant and tofu with garlic sauce.The salad was watery in an uncomfortable way, and nope, it was not a broth or a dressing, more like the veggies diluted the sauce it was supposed to come with and the flavors were washed out.The eggplant with tofu was the horror of the table! Gummy micro cubes of tofu that reminded me of the trays of Asian food at Safeway at the end of the day, with shrunken greasy bites of something you can’t tell what was! The tofu had been long deep fried, left cold and then submerged in a sauce that of course couldn’t absorb, leaving a mouthful of salt to taste followed by a chewy bland cube.We told the waitress and got the visit of a manager or owner who agreed with us and promised to bring fresh tofu and that he did! Cubes of plain out of the package tofu cubes. I told him he misunderstood what we meant by fresh and he said he gave directions to the kitchen to “in the future” not deep fry the ingredients ahead of time.A waste of money. We won’t repeat the experience.PS. 6/28 response to owner. Dear Owner of Inle, if you actually pay attention to the pictures, both dishes are only half eaten. Your portions are tapas size and we were two people. After spending $65 for this food we were not going to splurge on a second dinner. Thank you for your generous offer, the memory of your food stays so strongly that I would not repeat the experience even for free ??"
