Delicious Food, Great Service, Lovely Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I enjoyed the great fresh rolls and the beautifully plated presentation. I dined alone during a downtime, which allowed me to truly savor my meal and take my time.
The menu offers pretty classic selections, and I felt confident that I couldn't go wrong with any choice, as the sauces really carried the flavor in everything I tried. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. Parking was standard street parking for San Francisco, which can be somewhat difficult to find, but there was free street parking available.

Delicious Japanese Food, Highly Recommended!
Wowwwwww! My experience at this restaurant was so good. The food was delicious and fresh.
I found it to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in San Francisco. The atmosphere was clean, and I highly recommend it for vegetarians. We had no wait time and plenty of parking available.

Pleasantly Surprised by Delicious Bento Boxes
We were pleasantly surprised by how good our lunch bento boxes were. The tofu teriyaki was perfectly breaded and fried. The tempura was hot and offered a good variety of veggies.
The chicken teriyaki was flavorful and not dry. The side veggie maki was very fresh and tasty. This is a good choice if you’re in the neighborhood and want Japanese food.
It's a quiet spot to relax and enjoy your meal.

Mixed Experience with Freshness Concerns
I had lunch with my family and found that the salmon did not taste fresh. However, the tempura was pretty good with a light batter. The chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki were average.
Unfortunately, the hot tea tasted like water. Given these points, I probably won’t come again.

Great Deal and Delicious Sushi!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be a great deal for the quality and quantity of food received. The sashimi was prepared with perfect cuts, and the brother roll was a standout favorite.
I also enjoyed the bento box with chicken katsu, which I loved. I will definitely be adding this place to my regular rotation. 😊

Delicious Food, Great Prices!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderfully positive. The food was deliciously heart-warming and offered at wonderful prices. I particularly enjoyed their "vegetable udon" and the unique offering of pickled vegetables, also known as Tsukemono.
I highly recommend this place!

Exceptional Sushi and Chill Vibes
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding! I tried the Sake nigiri, which was a perfect 11/10. The portions were fresh and generous.
I highly recommend their sushi and sashimi. The Poke salad was also a hit at 11/10, as was the Salmon Teriyaki Bento and the Dragon roll, both rated 11/10. The atmosphere was great, with chill vibes and it wasn't crowded.
This restaurant is significantly better than Ebisu!

Peaceful Japanese with Good Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant offered a large menu of standard Japanese dishes, including rolls, donburi, bentos, and udon. The restaurant itself was peaceful, and I found the prices reasonable, especially with several bento combos and lunch specials available. The service was prompt, and the food was good in taste and value.

Great Food, Cozy Spot
My experience at this nice little quaint restaurant in the outer Richmond district was very positive. The food was very good, and I particularly enjoyed the recommended dish. The atmosphere was also a highlight, rated a 5 out of 5.
Service was excellent, also receiving a 5 out of 5. It's a great option for lunch with a price range of $10–20 per person.
