About

Opened in July of 2023, this exceptional Malaysian eatery in the Tenderloin has been showered with accolades, including a spot on NY Times’ List of “25 Best SF Restaurants” and San Francisco Chronicle’s List of “Top 25 Restaurants in the Bay Area.” Chef/Co-Owner Azalina Eusope, a native of Penang, Malaysia, was also named the 2023 winner of Eater's “Chef of the Year” Award, and was recently named a James Beard “Best Chef: California” Semi-Finalist. Chef Eusope is a fifth-generation street food vendor who moved to San Francisco a decade ago and made quite a name for herself hereabouts. At Azalina’s, she is thrilling diners with dishes like rabbit koay teow thin’g with sunchokes, black garlic, lime, and chili, pindang skate wing with preserved tomato and star fruit, and, for dessert, coconut jelly with apple, blackberry, black sesame, and walnuts. It’s all served in an atmosphere of natural light, murals, and dazzling colors that simulate the energy of a busy Malaysian market. “A vibrant Malaysian oasis shines in the Tenderloin,” says Eater, so naturally, we are excited to visit.
