Tekka Japanese Restaurant

We hold 230 venues in San Francisco, CA and could score 133 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.

“Considering Tekka doesn’t have a working [website](https://www.tekkasf.com/) and doesn’t take reservations or do takeout, it’ll take a bit of work just to get inside the door. But those who manage the feat tend to agree: this 10-seat mom-and-pop counter is well worth it. Owners Yoshimi and Noboru Shimizu are known for [giving regulars special treatment](https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/At-Tekka-they-found-a-haven-from-a-changing-city-13966317.php) and absolutely inundating all diners with generous spreads of sashimi, nigiri, and more. * [537 Balboa St, San Francisco, CA 94118, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Tekka%20Japanese%20Restaurant%2C%20537%20Balboa%20St%2C”
