    This is the most elegant sushi restaurant in the Sunset District. You can’t go wrong w/the sushi here. But...do yourself a favor,get the Spoonful of Happiness. I’d be happy to just eat a ton of these.

    Ignore the main menu with all the crowd-pleaser rolls. Go directly to the "Today's Catch" menu. Order one of everything. It's some of the most remarkable fish to be found in San Francisco.

    I'd skip the curry makerel but everything else was spot on. This and Ebisu are my favorite Inner Sunset sushi places based on quality of food and ambiance. Kiki's is your best bet for price

    Come here for happy hour and enjoy cheap hand rolls for $4. The cut rolls are regular priced between $6-$8ish but still delicious!

    The original owners, Kiyoshi and Ayumi, sold the restaurant in 2015 and have opened up Ahn Suhi in Japantown.

    Thought I'd love it more. Felt overpriced and I wish they had simpler rolls that let the fish shine. The best roll is delicious though!

    Really generous portions of quality fish in their sashimi combo. The tuna was amazingly fresh and flavorful.

    They have the Hosomaki rolls (less rice, nori on the outside) with more traditional Japanese fillings.

    A Spoonful of Happiness is the best "one bite" appetizer you can get from a Japanese restaurant. You'll want a lot more spoonfuls of it.
