Aki San is a legend! We were here for course B (14 servings) on a Friday evening. Parking on street was readily available.

More like Sushi No! Not sure what is so special about this place that a reservation is necessary. There was basically a room with all but empty bar seating. A ‘hostess’ rushed to us the moment we opened the door to shoo us out because it is ‘reservation only’.

Traditional sushi experience. Best value omakase in SF Bay area in my opinion. Excellent quality sushi. Cold Smoked Salmon is a must try!

One of the singular and complete experiences I’ve had, irrespective of cuisine. All sushi should be this. All truly fine dining establishments should operate from this level of personal pride and commitment to craft. The sides were also crafted with a level of skill and attenuation to detail and flavor that is world class. A must do, must eat, must experience.

Sushi Sho was always my favorite place for sushi when they were located on upper Solano Avenue. I have not visited their new location, which opened after a long pause in between., as I have moved away from the Bay Area. Aki-san is a master sushi chef, albeit a bit eccentric, and will not settle for anything less than the best quality and dining experience. As he is the only chef preparing food at the counter (with his wife helping out with other chores), Aki-san would rather turn away customers than have them waiting too long. This is why you may see empty spots and yet be turned away. But believe me, you will not find better, fresher fish more expertly prepared sushi and sashimi than with Aki-san. Two dishes that stand out, beside all the others, are the Usuzukuri sashimi and the Chawan mushi, a custard with bits of fish and a ginko nut, and probably the best one I’ve ever had. Lastly, if you ask nicely, you can probably get tamaki (hand roll) sushi, even though it isn’t on the menu. Sushi-sho is about enjoying the intimate experience (and the food, of course). You will not find another place like this anywhere.

Incredibly delicious, meticulously prepared sushi, all from a chef who really cares about his customers enjoying their meal and learning how to fully enjoy this cuisine. Definitely recommend.
