Follow on IG for continued culinary adventures in Southeast Asia and possibly Aina 2.0.We won’t go into the well known challenges of doing business in SF here we will say that running a small restaurant is HARD with lots of highs and many lows and we made a lot of mistakes along the way.We miss Dogpatch dearly and are grateful to all of the support we have received over the years and to the Aina team that worked so tirelessly.And as much as we hate disappointing our regulars and all of you who have come through our doors to eat with us, become friends, and sent us such heartwarming messages in the last 6 months we also know we are making the right decision for our extended family and our little ones. We also believe that change is growth.Aina was a very beautiful and special place for us with our toddler son spending his weekends at our Popup, and our daughter born a month after we opened the restaurant.Our OG signature dishes were created by Hilo-raised chef as a direct response to being homesick for food he grew up with and his love for Hawaii. ![]() It is a very tough and heartwrenching decision to let go of a business that we have been building from our hearts since 2013, from our days as a tiny popup in Bernal Heights, to hectic street food festivals and then eventually a beautiful brick and mortar space in the lovely Dogpatch neighborhood.Personal & family reasons have made a relocation to Singapore the next step for us. We are sad to let you all know that we have decided to permanently close ‘Aina restaurant in San Francisco.
