Elsa LinMarch 9, 2015Three dishes we tried: kobe sliders, poke tacos, and dragon rolls are all very good! Too bad I missed the cookie dough. Will definitely visit again.
Evelien DepaepeApril 20, 2015We had the Chef's Choice menu, a delicious variation of nigiri sushi with very fresh fish coming straight from the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. Not cheap, but you won't regret it!
Chelsea MOctober 26, 2014I had the buttercup roll ($14), a bowl of brown rice ($4), and the salted caramel ice cream roll. Really fresh fish, good atmosphere, and the ice cream roll is incredible!!!
I recommend this spot for happy hour - great sushi specials and half off select bottles of wine. The cocktails are really strong though do definitely brace yourself!
Truett JoyDecember 23, 2012The food here is really great: try the tuna tataki or the poke tacos! The beet salad has a lovely panko crusted goat cheese. Oh and look out for that hostess hottie, Lindsey
Jessica GalianaNovember 10, 2014White tuna tataki, gyozas and rolls midori and three samurai are delicious! A bit noisy on top floor so if you look for romantic stay downstairs
ReganDecember 18, 2014Come for the happy hour Unami Kobe beef sliders but stay for the Toyko Tsukiji Fish Market nigiri. #yumtown
Caroline JackMarch 21, 2015The salt and pepper ribs are insane! Tastiest ribs I've had. Meat just falls off the bone. Couple with some Japanese fried rice. Yum!
Michael DavidsonAugust 9, 2013I've heard about this place for a while is pretty excited the food was excellent and the burger is definitely the place I will go for burgers from now on
Jason WillafordApril 30, 2016Ahi poke and vegetable tempera, nigori .but obviously not on happy hour menu,ask specifically about happy hour items or you may suffer sticker shock when your bill comes
Kevin ThompsonJanuary 6, 2016Recommend the shrimp tempura appetizer and umami sliders; skip the sliders. All the rolls and sashimi also fantastic. Very poor service.
Alexey MorozovOctober 5, 2015Amazing Japanese food - try the omakasi tasting if you like nigiri. House rolls are all great, too
TeresaJune 26, 2014Get the Kobe beef sliders, your stomach will thank you. And you can't beat happy hour 7 days a week!
Elizabeth MooreMay 28, 2013The cookie dough roll was seriously the best dessert I have EVER had. Everyone at the table agreed. GET IT.
Best sushi in San Francisco. Ask for the off menu "Suppai" roll.
JAMESON PINEFebruary 18, 2015Kobe Sliders, the assortment of rolls, cookie dough dessert. SF winner!- Rock Shrimp Tempura, White Tuna Tataki, Lime Cured Halibut, Suppai, Toro, Sake, Inada. That is all. Best in SF. Period.
Get whatever has been flown in that day from the famed Tsukiji fish market of Tokyo. It's unbelievably fresh and unique!
- Morgan MJuly 18, 2011The best Asian fusion happy hour in the city, try the kobe sliders. Large curved booths good for group dinners.
Jennifer YipMay 25, 2016happy hour from 5:30pm - 6:30pm! features half price bottles of wine (max 2 per table, excludes sake and bubbly)
Ryan LeeMarch 7, 2013The HH menu is the best deal in SF. You're a fool if you don't order the ice cream sushi roll. It's the best.
Not the cheapest, but damn fine sushi in the Marina. Protip, hit them up early for some great happy hour deals (both food and drink).
Nick BDecember 7, 2011Really good quality fish. Fair to semi-expensive price. Quaint atmostphere. Dim lighting. Sushi bar upstairs
Kitty HetzelApril 21, 2012Cookie dough desert, sushi style with mint cream that looks like wasabi... best desert ever!
Valerie PuscedduOctober 10, 2010OMG! The best sushi I have ever had. Must have: tuna rolls- all of them and sliders. A must eat place if ever in san fran.
The hotsui roll is the best roll I've ever had. Raw fish + hot oil = pure delicious.
Pacific UnionSeptember 27, 2012Love the tuna tataki and the half-priced bottles of wine during happy hour!
Will Van WazerMay 18, 2013Happy hour is excellent, but come right at 5:30 if you don't have reservations.
Justin WilsonAugust 1, 2011Umami mojito is one of the best mojitos I've had. Mango is very subtle - you won't be disappointed.
Ekaterina ObukhovaNovember 19, 2011Katya: food is very very good, cold adamame-strange, sushi and rolls and Kobe and mojito and everything. Me like:)
Must orders: ahi tacos, edamame hummus, dojo roll, faded crane drink and the tuna tataki.
Lindsey CarpenterAugust 11, 2012Order the aloha roll...you won't be disappointed...OFF.THE.CHARTS!!!
The happy hour menu rocks! The sliders are absolutely amazing!!- Thursday-Sunday they have fish fresh from the Tsukiji Market in Japan.
