Chef Gizela Ho will open her new restaurant, Good Morning 96, at 2235 Fillmore St. in 2027. The project occupies the former home of the sushi spot Ten-Ichi.
Why it matters
The opening is part of a larger $100 million push to reshape the Fillmore Street corridor through the Upper Fillmore Revitalization Project. Residents will soon see a major transformation in this historic neighborhood retail strip.
The project is backed by $100 million in funding for the revitalization of the Fillmore corridor, which will transform the 2,200-square-foot space at 2235 Fillmore St. Details regarding the menu and the precise 2027 opening date have yet to be finalized.

The details
Former Rich Table chef de cuisine Gizela Ho will anchor the space with an interior inspired by the film In the Mood for Love. Renovations involve shifting the kitchen to the front of the restaurant and installing a second-story mezzanine. The work is financed through building acquisitions made in 2024.

Across the Bay
This opening marks the first major retail reveal of the Upper Fillmore Revitalization Project. It follows a similar trend seen in other local commercial corridors where private investment is being used to rebrand and modernize legacy retail spaces.
If you frequent the Fillmore shopping corridor, you will see construction at 2235 Fillmore St. leading up to the 2027 launch. The project will bring a mezzanine-level dining experience to a space previously known as Ten-Ichi.
The takeaway
Keep an eye on the transition at 2235 Fillmore St. as construction progresses on the new mezzanine space. The project follows the $100 million investment made in 2024 to revitalize this segment of Pacific Heights.
