Delicious sushi roll's and main courses. Perfect for a quality meal if you have a reasonable amount of time. The 49'rs roll is amazing, along with the Spider roll and miso soup. I highly recommend it.

Unassuming, good place for weeknight sushi. A good neighborhood go-to. Full and busy but hardly any wait. I like these guys, it's a friendly, familiar spot with good fish. It's not fancy but I like it

Their sushi is some of the best in the city! Their dragon roll was fresh and melted in my mouth.

Classic Japanese spot with straightforward and traditional sushi, dishes, and rolls. Affordable and friendly staff too!

Half eaten. SF's best kept sushi secret. As good as Ryoko's without the outrageous wait and more reasonably priced.

Consistent quality. A good neighborhood sushi place. Traditional Japanese fare so you're not gonna see rolls smothered in sauce.

Best salmon sashimi I've ever had! I really like getting to choose my cup too.

Great place, no-frills, very good fish. Ask for the Omasake and ask to include "Uni" in the pack.

Authentic little gem in the area. Fresh sushi + try their seasonal catch

Excellent care given to tofu salad and tako salad. Always a good sign when the small details aren't forgotten

It's almost as difficult to find truly bad sushi in SF as it is to find the truly good. This one is flat in the middle. Meh.
Rob DeMilloDecember 23, 2011
This place is ridiculously great. No frills, just great/fresh fish, service and sake.

Pros: simple, cheap, fresh sushi. Cons: service can be slow, tiny space that feels cramped. Avoid when busy.

Don't go here as a single if you want a table. It wasn't busy at all, and they forced me to sit at the sushi bar. Major fail so I walked out!!!
