​Looking for a night out in San Francisco that beats dinner and a movie?

​Taste your way through 40+ acclaimed Bay Area restaurants and beverage partners, enjoy live music, and dress up for a good cause.

​Join us October 17, 2026 at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria for Plate by Plate, the nation’s oldest and largest tasting benefit gala supporting AAPI philanthropy, organized entirely by volunteers.

​You’ll also hear stories of impact that support this year’s campaign theme, Communities in Action: fostering growth and resilience in AAPI neighborhoods and small businesses.

​One ticket. Unlimited menu.  (it’s like omakase, but better )
Bites and sips from partners including Sushi Roku Palo Alto, Tsar Nicoulai Caviar, Asian Box, Papa Noodle, Cassava, Kaiyo, Kojo-Kojo Fusion, and Little Green Cyclo, plus pours from Kanosuke Distillery, Patrón Tequila, Asahi, Johnnie Walker, Ektimo Vineyards, and more. Vegetarian and vegan items will be marked on menus.

​Also on the night: clubbing, but make it grown-up 🪩

• ​Live music and entertainment. Bring your snazziest dance moves. Cocktail attire, zero sticky floors.

• ​Silent auction. Bid on getaways and goodies from Axiom Hotel, Fitness SF, Kiln, Iberia Restaurant, Mr Espresso, Bradford Portraits, Chubby Hands Ceramic, and more. Outbid your friends for a good cause.

• ​Photo booth by Kande. Strike a pose, grab the strips, and take home proof of a very good night.
