Heirloom used to do this Epoisse burger that was delish and unusual, but it doesn't seem to be on their current menu.

I haven't been, and really want to go, but Mister Jiu's strikes me as offering something not easily obtained elsewhere.

There are also several "vegan Japanse" (e.g..Shizen), which again, I've had at several Bay Area restaurants, but not really seen elsewhere.
