This Potrero Hill sushi bar is a great value. The quality of the fish is quite good and the prices are very reasonable. Don't miss the Salmon Nigiri or 49er and read about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more
- Carmen SutterSeptember 5, 2014Omakase has fantastic variety with large pieces of fresh sashimi & nigiri. Get the live scallops for sure. Starter of oyster, uni, quail egg & tobiko was amazing.
Make sure you get something from the specials menu! The island poke was fresh & light & delicious. The lunch bento boxes are a good deal, more than enough to fill you up.
Literally every roll I've tried is delicious. What a hidden gem on Potrero Hill!
Connie ChiuMarch 21, 2016Chef's special oysters and the sashimi assortment are to die for. Butterfish, amberjack, blue fin tuna, salmon, hamachi, albacore, just all melt in your mouth. I can't even.
Tazza D'Amore CafeDecember 4, 20131) Ask to sit in Mai's section - she is the lead and best server ever. 2) Get the Rainbow Roll, Crazy Monkey, and Veggie Swamp Roll. 3) The Chicken Saba Noodle Soup is to die for.
Thomas ColtonMarch 27, 2016Best for a quick and/or quiet lunch in Potrero. Fun options like scallop burgers and cheaper lunch specials. A little pricey but if you can swing it, do it!
Fresh seafood from Tsukiji Market like aji, toro, and hotate.
The lunch bento box is decently priced. $10.50 for two items or $12.50 for three plus soup and salad.
Live Uni, blue shrimp and amaebi nigiris are amazing!! Love aji tataki and scallop mini burgers. Chefs special oysters are great too.
Liz N.July 21, 2012The fish is extremely fresh. Try the BF toro, chefs oysters (oysters, uni, quail egg, ikura, tibiko & ponzu) & the aji tataki. Yum!!! Plenty of parking to;)- Place is amazing!!!! Make sure to get the toro, scallop burger, and live scallops!!!!! And don't forget the poke salad!!!
Sherene ArjaniJune 11, 2014Anything on their specials board is worth a try. We loved the fresh walu and the Romeo and Juliet roll.
Erx BautistaMay 4, 2016Romeo & Juliet Roll, tasty udon broth, & coffee flavored mochi. No disappointments here. Fresh sushi indeed!
Tatum HengelOctober 20, 2016Philadelphia roll has the perfect amount of cream cheese. The added tobiko is a nice touch.
Lunch sushi comninatioms and bento boxes are good for a reasonnable price in San Francisco.
the sashimi here is super fresh. the black cod and butterfish sashimi are must gets!
An ShengNovember 6, 2017Maybe we didn't order the right things.. but our dishes didn't have much flavour. The fish was decently fresh. We got the uni shooter, nemo, cucumber sashimi roll, chirashi. All were underwhelming 😖
Everything here is delicious. Probably some of the best sushi in the city.
try the sake flight sampler. also recommending the swamp roll, 49er roll, crunchy tuna roll, wakame salad.
Cherylynn NoronaJune 28, 2011Get the Chef's Special: Raw Oysters w/ Uni, Quail Egg, Salmon Roe & Ponzu Sauce! YUMMY!
Excellent place. Sushi is great and it's very nice inside.
Kenny DeeSeptember 12, 2012Happy Hours 4-7pm: $2 tap beer, $3 sake, and $3 appetizer, can't beat that!!
Fred Stevens-SmithOctober 13, 2017Not to be an asshole but if you think this is good sushi... you have no idea what good sushi tastes like. Basic white people sushi roll spot. Mediocre service. Mediocre fish quality.
Shauna Leal-MarkhamFebruary 13, 2011Free California roll or edamome or eal roll if you spend over 30$ on TOGO!!! There super friendly and have gift certificates on restaurant . Com
Ian McFarlandAugust 6, 2009All of their rolls that have some tempura component are awesome. Try the #29 roll, f'rinstance. Oh, and the $9 sake flight is a great accompaniment, too.
