" It takes a rare combination of whimsy and nerve to describe a restaurant in this city as "East German," though that is exactly what Christiane Schmidt and Isabell Mysyk have done with their new venture, Walzwerk." - Paul Reidinger " WALZWERK : When you're feeling anemic, come to this strange and charming place..." - Jennifer Reese " DAS WALZWERK zwei Thüringerinnen bieten den Freaks von San Francisco deutsche Küche im schrägen DDR-Outfit" - Robin Rudolph " Walzwerk has everything we recreational eaters are looking for. It's a laid back down to earth establishment with its own unique style serving up good food, and plenty of it, at reasonable prices." - V. Miller " But the restaurant isn't some glitzy place adding to the neighborhood's gentrification. It's stark in decor and turns out rib-sticking German fare at reasonable prices." - Robin Davis " the atmosphere is cozy, the food for the most part is superb and comforting, and the restaurant is perfectly poised to ride this year's eastern European food trend to success." - Paul Adams " it doesn't try to capture the essence of an undernoticed culture; it is that culture." - T. R. " Walzwerk, an East German restaurant located at 381 South Van Ness, has been a very nice addition to the SF dining scene since it opened in September." " Gebürtige Gorndorferin ist nun Wirtin in San Francisco" - Horst Rost " Walzwerk exalts the gritty and the industrial. Exuberantly blue collar, it pays homage to the appetite and pocketbook of the hard-working man and woman. " - Patricia Unterman " The wild, uninhibited life of Berlin with pulse pounding techno-rock; the grayness of East Germany under Communism; the fall of the wall and a Germany united — That's the feel you'll get at Walzwerk" - Mike Sher
