Mike WinstonMarch 30, 2015O-Toro serves top quality sushi, sashimi, and nigiri but it's not exactly inexpensive. It helps a lot that they take reservations though. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more
Divya MulanjurApril 12, 2016The sushi here is incredible. Melt in your mouth good sushi. Expect a short wait even if you reserve. It's a small place and they fly in the fish on the specials board from Japan.
Winson WongFebruary 5, 2015Just get the sashimi and sushi. So fresh. Lots of fish shipped directly from Japan on the specials board so definitely get those. Compared to other sushi places, the prices are much more reasonable.
_July 12, 2015Everything here is good! Be sure to check out their specials! Make a reservation since this place fills up fast.
BiancaNovember 3, 2021Oh my! All fresh and delicious sushi. Just try the Cherry blossom or Otoro special rolls. Same goes for any sushi or sashimi.
Dale TegmanJune 5, 2012"Eliza's" served Chinese on Wedgewood, with art glass and paper cut out murals all about. Used to be a downmarket favorite for notables in Opera/Symphony seasons. I met artist Frank Stella here!
MegApril 13, 2014Albacore & Aji Tataki! Delicious hamachi. Wonderful staff, great location, I will definitely go back.
Kat 🐱December 25, 2016Nice atmosphere and accepts reservations. The O-toro sushi melts in your mouth, but the cut is a bit too thin. A pretty decent sushi place, but not good enough for me to want to come back.
Nina YiamsamathaDecember 17, 2015Name-your-price omakase makes this place special. $50/person omakase gets you a good amount of food without breaking the bank.
Becca GrossmanNovember 25, 2015I love this place! Super trendy. Great date spot. The udon noodles are delicious, as are the sushi rolls.- SukiSeptember 17, 2020Perfect lunch staple in Hayes Valley on a quiet street. Very fresh fish and quick, friendly service.
Bridget GaelMarch 6, 2022Really fresh delicious sushi - we loved the miso soup, gyoza, spicy crunchy roll, and lollipop roll
Brian JarvisJuly 11, 2013Small dining room... there will probably be a wait for a table. But it is so worth it: best sushi I've had in SF!- Ashley MowreyMarch 12, 2015Albacore Otoro. Make your own specialty roll! I recommend the Otoro roll with the mango on the inside and salmon on the outside.
Jessica GalianaNovember 7, 2014Cherry blossom and Lava roll were delicious! Scallop dynamite a bit disappointing. Sake daiginjo "autumn" was perfect
HanahApril 2, 2016Order off the chalkboard! Great small bites such as seared salmon belly with eggplant
- Emily BApril 9, 2014Loved the lollipop roll! Definitely deconstruct it to get all the individual tastes at least once!
Jaimie LeeOctober 18, 2015You MUST order the amazing spicy tuna roll because it's the best. No kidding.
Jake ChalkleyJanuary 5, 2014Had the Otoro nigiri, Walu sashimi, Lollipop roll, and Golden Gate roll. Surprisingly, Golden Gate was my fav
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenJanuary 29, 2014Omakase is good stuff. Also that truffle hamachi thing with the avocado.
Sophie NovatiOctober 11, 2015All the toro things are amazing!! O toro, hamachi toro and albacore toro.
Santiago DuarteSeptember 5, 2014Great little sushi place in SF. delicious and fresh makis and creative rolls.
Brian StraussMay 22, 2021Excellent food makes up for cold and slow service. Absolutely dynamite fish.- Susan LohJuly 27, 2011Put your trust in the chef and order omakase all the way! Best sushi. Best value. Oh I miss it so much!
Everything I've ordered here was AMAZING! Especially love their rolls and chicken curry don! And agedashi tofu!
LisaMarch 8, 2015Called to check if they had a table available and the guy said to just come and walk in. Arrived only to be told nothing is available!!! If you don't have any availability then don't give false hope!!
always ask what's fresh. when they have it, the scottish salmon and fiji tuna are amazing.
Get "Tara" - Miso glazed black cod. It's incredible.
Lindsay BrookeFebruary 14, 2018Sushi is fine, but they serve rolls with brown, rotten avocados and charged $3.50 for extra ginger.
Agatha YuSeptember 4, 2014Sushis are okay. If you are willing to wait for good sushi, try tekka in Richmond instead- Arielle L.March 23, 2011Get the Otoro roll and the golden state roll. Bonus: they have bi-rite ice cream for dessert
