    You cannot go wrong with anything you order here. I've eaten here countless times and everytime have been served fresh food. We got omakase, uni, XXX roll, & combo#2. They serve the best chirashi.

    Great sushi spot in inner sunset. Recommend Romeo and Juliet, Agedashi Tofu, and Toro Nigiri. The rolls are packed with fish, so you get your money's worth. Go off hours to avoid the wait.

    Start with a smattering of the kushiyaki, $4 a la carte bites like Kobe beef or obi (shrimp with lemon), then follow up with sashimi picks like the bonito tatami: seared skipjack with onions. Read more

    The chirashi and sushi specials are amazing! A wide variety of very fresh fish. There are no reservations (tables are first come first serve), so plan to come early if you are with a big group!

    Just get them to make you a tasting platter if the chefs recommended... everything is so good. Besides the weird fried oyster bits .. those are odd.

    You can't go wrong with omakase, and I love their sake steamed clams. The servers are great at making recommendations, so ask away!

    The family affair was so good! Super yummy. One bummer was that our food came out at different times so when one person had finished, the others we just starting.

    AMAZING!! Just, go! I don’t usually order rainbow rolls but i saw one that had just been made and i had to try it - long story short: ridiculously fancy and flavorful. Also, the salmon belly!!!

    The $22 chirashi bowl (which includes miso soup!) is probably the best sushi deal in the Bay Area.

    Sooo good. Quality fresh fish. XXX Roll and the nigiri and sashimi is amazing <3 Staff is friendly and just an overall good experience

    Rock solid sushi; many of their top varieties are flown in from Japan weekly. Not cheap but well worth the money you’ll spend.

    Sit at the bar enjoy the fun of watching sushi be made! Get the omokase! Ebisu is the best. I go here every year when I visit SF.

    Sushi rolls and $25 omokase sashimi should do fine with two people if you're budget conscious. The sashimi is really the kicker at this place: really tasty.

    Seat on the sushi bar and ask for Julio to be your sushi man. He's awesome, funny, and helps you with the best choices from the menu!

    Pricey, but excellent choices and cuts of sashimi. Had LIVE uni served in the shell, so fresh! Even the nontraditional rolls are yummy (Romeo and Juliet was good)

    Love this place. Great sushi, awesome specialty rolls, desserts and entrees too. Try the double hamachi roll. Don't get the udon.

    Omakase a bit underwhelming even though the fish was very good (basically just because it's all of the most obvious cuts, nothing like a chef's recommendation). The rolls were good. I'd recommend it.

    Had the XXX roll. It was good. But way too expensive. $18 for one roll! I've had comparable sushi in other places for way less.

    Favorite sushi spot in SF. Seriously epic in taste. The Pink Cadillac is my favorite appetizer, and the #29 roll is a must try.

    Food is amazing, which keeps me coming back. Service is great once you sit down. The front desk where you check is a major disaster.

    Do not overlook the teriyaki dinners, salmon or trout is the way to go - simply delicious!

    Omakase is an AWESOME deal if you're in a group-- they even fry the remains of the fish bones and shrimp heads for you!

    One of the best valued Chirashi in the city. And did I mention it's one of the best?

    Over-rated. They seem to focus on specialty rolls and overlook the basics. The ingredients are fresh, but the quality of the fish wasn't what I expected. My rolls fell apart!
