We are proud to spotlight one of our members, Tokyo Moto...

A trusted motorcycle and scooter service center in SOMA! Owners Nansee Kim Parker and Shawn Parker have built a reputation for exceptional service, expert repairs, and a customer-first approach that keeps riders coming back.

Specializing in Japanese motorcycle brands while servicing most makes and models (excluding Harley's and Chinese scooters), Tokyo Moto stands apart from the typical repair shop. Customers are often surprised by the shop's immaculate appearance, featuring spotlessly clean floors and an exceptionally organized workspace that feels more like a luxury automotive dealership than a motorcycle repair facility.

What truly sets Tokyo Moto apart is its commitment to customer service and communication. Check out some of their reviews for yourself:

"I had a great experience with Tokyo Moto and especially with Shawn. He's incredibly easy to work with -- great communication, completely transparent, and explains everything clearly so you always know what's going on with your bike."

-Matthew H.

"I am always satisfied with any repairs Shawn helps me with on two of my motorcycles. Their prices are very reasonable. They have the best service manager that knows his business and they are really quick. I would recommend them and I wouldn't take my bikes anywhere else."

-David C.

"I've taken my bike there for service several times. Shawn and his crew are great and always do an amazing job. Very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy."

-Omar A.

Whether you need routine maintenance, diagnostics, or major repairs, Tokyo Moto has earned its reputation as one of the Bay Area's most respected motorcycle service shops.

Congratulations to SOMA Social on their Grand Opening!

We were delighted to welcome Mayor Daniel Lurie, along with several other city officials, to the ribbon-cutting celebration for SoMa Social, a new gathering place that adds energy and excitement to the neighborhood.

“We are thrilled to be contributing to the comeback of not just San Francisco but the SoMa market specifically,” said Grant Gedemer, Vice President of Food and Beverage at Oxford Hotels & Resorts. “Hospitality for us is about community and about creating spaces where people want to gather. Destinations like SoMa Social are essential to the vitality of any neighborhood, and we look forward to creating a space that brings people together to socialize, celebrate, and unwind.”

SoMa Social combines a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere with the elevated culinary experience of a modern gastropub. Featuring refined comfort food, warm hospitality, and an inviting all-day environment, it is poised to become a neighborhood gathering place and an important contributor to SoMa’s continued revitalization.



The timing could not be better. With the World Cup drawing fans from around the globe, sports bars have become prime destinations for watching the action. SoMa Social will be showing every World Cup match, making it the perfect place to cheer on your favorite team alongside fellow fans. Reservations are recommended, so be sure to book a table in advance and enjoy the excitement throughout the tournament.

Congratulations to Ryan and Kay, owners of Bay of Burma on celebrating the restaurant's 3rd Anniversay!

The milestone was marked with a festive gathering that drew a steady stream of customers, friends, and community members throughout the evening, accompanied by live Burmese music and, of course, an exceptional spread of the restaurant’s signature cuisine. Since opening its doors three years ago with the goal of sharing the flavors and culture of Myanmar with San Francisco, Bay of Burma has become a beloved neighborhood destination. The anniversary celebration served as a heartfelt thank-you to the loyal customers, neighbors, and team members whose support has helped make the restaurant’s success possible, while looking ahead to many more years of great food, memorable experiences, and community connections.

Check out their menu and be sure to pop in for a visit soon, your tastebuds won't regret it!

Personalized Outdoor Heat That Turns Cold Into Covers...

Top restaurants around San Francisco have switched to Focal for their outdoor heating system because it provides guests with personalized heat, plugs into a standard outlet and works with limited power availability. Finally, that one cold guest won’t kill the patio reservation and groups with different internal thermostats can be comfortable outside. Focal customers are consistently rewarded with more covers and a lift in 5-star reviews from patrons.
