MORE ABOUT 903 / MUTSUMI TAKEHARA
Pastry chef Mutsumi Takehara started her career at La Farine bakery in Oakland before moving on to Chez Panisse in Berkeley. Later she moved to San Francisco and became the pastry chef at fine dining restaurant Rubicon. Most recently she spent 10 years as the pastry chef for Charles Phan at his iconic Slanted Door restaurant in San Francisco, winning many accolades. After moving to Bernal Heights and leaving the Slanted Door, Takehara opened Sandbox Bakery which has managed the trick of being one of the most renown bakeries in the city, while at the same time becoming an intimate fixture of the community.
903, which sits just across Gates Street from Sandbox is Takehara's (and her husband Mike Bradsord's) latest effort. This small restaurant offers a range of gourmet lunch options to eat-in or take-out, and offers take-out dinners, ranging across cuisines such as American, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, and Thai.
