The location in Bernal is complete with an izakaya component, Ni Bar. It's a must-visit for thoughtfully sourced, well-made nigiri and new dishes like the miso clams and pork skewers. Read more

From 5:30 to 7 p.m. pop in for $1 oysters, half off appetizers, $4 Fort Point beers, and cold sake and white wine for $6. That all goes down in the Ni Bar subsection, so sidle up to that back bar. Read more

One of the most vivid dishes was four thick slices of lightly seared albacore tuna tataki. Hot dishes include yuzu fried chicken wings - one of the best versions of fried chicken wings in S.F. Read more

ICHI Sushi only got better when it reopened in a new, bigger space. The new 30-seat sushi bar has an omakase counter, table seating, and an izakaya named Ni Bar serving booze and izakaya-style plates. Read more

Great omakase experience. Impressed they had both Santa Barbara uni and Ft.Hood uni. More relaxing than Kusakabe and at 1/3 the price. Highly recommend for relaxing great sushi experience

Make sure to get reservations, and sit at the bar. Tell them what you like and have fun with it. One of the best most personalized sushi experiences I have had. Dont miss the uni selection.

Ichi's new location. Much bigger. Sit at the bar and order omakase or a la carte. Big specials menu with lots of fish from Japan. Loved the umi masu (ocean trout) and Hokkaido Uni.

An incredible Japanese food experience.🍶🍣🍱🍲 Go to the website and make reservations ahead of time. Highly recommend the miso clams special, if it's available. Yawaraka is a nice mild sake. 😬👍

"I like to call the uni "butter from the sea." It's so fatty and creamy. Have them pair a nice sake shot with it." Chef Tony Ferrari Read more

Best sushi in the city except Eiji and overpriced wannabe swanky spots in fidi. Super friendly chefs, nice relaxed vibe. All the omakase was perfect.

Enjoy some excellent cooked dishes at NI Bar while you wait for your seat at the sushi bar, where you can some of the best omakase SF has to offer.

Awesome sushi spot. 🍣 Poke hand roll (yellowfin tuna 🐟) was so good we had to order more.

Great nigiri specials, always high quality. Good draft beers. Have the yellowtail tataki if it's on the menu.
Rodrigo DaviesJuly 11, 2015
Often booked up in the main restaurant but the bar at the back is first come first served and almost always has a free table

Swing in to "The Happiest of Hours," from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and pair $1 oysters with a Sapporo on draft, plus rotating wine and sake specials for $6. Read more

Pork belly and beef tataki was great. Actually better than maki.

The miso clams with ground pork shoulder are smokey and tasty!

Order omakase and leave yourself in the chefs' hands. Even better to do so while sitting at the bar.
PureWowJuly 14, 2014
Order the Fort Bragg uni from chef Erik Aplin, who will get you to change your mind about the notoriously squishy sea urchin. Read more

Anasi, the sushi chef is amazing great. Foo is exceptional and the staff is super hipper nice!!!!
Runqiu CaiJune 20, 2015
Fried chicken and other warm plates are good. Felt some dishes were over salted. Need to come back for omakase
Global HighlanderMay 5, 2015
The kasu gindara black cod dish was excellent. The Anchor Saison was a nice beer.
Rem KoningOctober 31, 2015
Omakase is amazing! Make sure to follow the instructions on the wall, makes each bite even better.

Try some of the perfectly prepared wagyu beef tataki. It'll make you wagyur tail.
Sofia FigueroaJanuary 14, 2016
Delicious food - brussels sprouts and seaweed salad like it's never been done! Ask your server for tips.
Tyler SzaboJuly 4, 2015
Elegant nigiri and wonderful sake pairings to match. The chefs are astute and make tailored omakase.
Paulo SantosAugust 18, 2015
Pretty decent omakase, I'd come back but Saru is still my favorite up to this point.
Pocket SunMay 9, 2015
Great omakase sushi. Okonomiyaki is good too. Cod is awesome!
Omer ZachAugust 17, 2015
Japanese brunch was pretty good! Try the tamago omelet.
Dean RzoncaNovember 26, 2014
Omakase is the way to go. That and chicken wings.
Chloe CondonJanuary 17, 2016
Everything is amazing. No soy sauce allowed!

Sunday brunch- get the Japanese breakfast and a side of snap peas

Eat at the bar for the best omakase in SF.
Derek DukesJune 7, 2014
The Nigri comes seasoned so no need for soy!

Omakase all day every day.

Rare option for fish collars. Worth ordering

Don't get the chirashi bowl expecting large pieces of sashimi. It's more bara chirashi style with a few bits of diced fish on a heap of rice. Not recommended.
Charlobo s.July 9, 2016
Good sushi but check out the wings!!
Connor HayesOctober 11, 2016
Best sake on the menu: Hakkaisan

Brad TOctober 23, 2014
I've left like 4 tips. Think less and get the omakase.
Aron SchindlerAugust 5, 2015
Very very disappointing. Tiny portions of bland (read leftover?!) fish for sashimi rice don. Shocked at the bill for what we got! Look elsewhere for your sushi cravings!!

Must = Beef Tongue Skewers.
