The House
Dodge the tourists on Columbus' main drag and duck into this laid-back spot on Grant Ave. Serving up Asian-American dishes, expect people-pleasing sea bass, deep-fried salmon rolls, wasabi noodles with flat-iron steak, and other flavorful fare.

The House, 1230 Grant Avenue (between Broadway and Vallejo Street); 415-986-8612.
