Very delicious meal. The miso soup was amazing. Each roll seems very intriguing and interesting. I got the White Dragon roll and it was really good. It doesn’t seem like a lot of food, but honestly 1 roll was more than enough. Service was super fast too. Nice for a quick bite.

Sitting at the bar was great, the sushi was crafted in front of us and the chefs were very thoughtful. The food was amazing.

Great service and solid rolls. Highly recommend the Negi Tori, White Out and Ya Man rolls. The spicy salmon and naked scallops were not as good. We also received Hamachi Nigiri on the house which was so nice! This ended up being our group’s favourite dish from the night. One thing to note is that the rolls are not as flavoured on their own and require some soy sauce to taste better.

Visited from GA for the first time ever spending a day in San Francisco before driving down the coast. Stopped here for sushi based of the previous reviews, and OH BOY were we not disappointed. The place is small, but you are guaranteed excellent service. Fast, courteous and helpful. We got the Rei Ginjo sake ( SO GOOD), best Miso soup I’ve ever had, “Couple of babes” to start and then the Chef Ochko roll, Ya Man, and the Flaming Seabass roll. Each one was better than the first. Seriously, go here. Don’t bother trying somewhere else. You will absolutely NOT regret it.

Came here for dinner. Put ourselves on the Yelp waitlist while we had a drink at Habibi Bar down the street, which was super convenient. Rolls are great! We had the negitoro (each piece has some uni on it, super worth it); white dragon; ya man; chef ochko; and naked scallop rolls. Everything was fresh and delicious and came out fast. Servers and host were all extremely kind and friendly, and clearly working hard since the place was packed. Definitely use Yelp waitlist or call ahead for a reservation because it does get busy. We were there Friday night.

My hubby and I came here for dinner before a symphony performance. The cocktails were on point, the sushi was pretty good, but the service was really slow. It took a long time for the hostess to show up to the front and check is in for our reservation and everything else took a really long time. It may have been they were short staffed due to the holiday weekend and perhaps some people called out. Because this was our first time here I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

We went here before the symphony; it’s perfectly placed for the symphony, opera and ballet. The menu is very appealing, with both innovative offerings and familiar favorites. The tempura was perfection, as was the chicken karaage. The spicy salmon roll was amazing, and the sashimi my husband had, was a lovely fusion with garlic and capers, an original revelation. The kitchen staff are working with quiet, careful precision; they could have been wearing lab coats instead of aprons. The sushi chef bestowed his latest experiment upon us, innovative and delicious. The bartender worked with equal focus, turning out beautiful, and delicious drinks. This is a talented and dedicated crew. And, it was refreshingly affordable, a win all around. Sadly, I didn’t take pictures; the artistry of the food deserves to be shared.

The best sushi I have had in San Francisco. We ordered a Ya Man roll and the chef roll, omakase, and nigiri omakase. Chef Ureil gave us complimentary sushi appetizer and it was delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
