- sushiMy experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed a delicious plate of sushi. The entire place was clean and good, making it a really good place to eat sushi.
- foodbut then the food - omg. First class sushi
- Lion King rollI’ve been ordering takeout from Sushi Go Go regularly for over a year. While their menu is limited, they’ve nailed the Lion King roll and some other rolls. The experience has been very consistent, and it always hits the spot.
- freshdecent size and fresh
- salmon sashimiHowever, the food was absolutely outstanding. I had the ‘honey box’ for $20, which was a generous portion of eight crab/avocado rolls, six salmon sashimi, two nigiri, and two prawn nigiri. The sushi was first class and to die for, with generous cuts, perfect temperature, and clearly freshly prepared, taking about seven to eight minutes.

Horrible Service, Rude Staff
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. I encountered a super rude lady at the front. When I tried to use the restroom while my sister waited in line, she made us cut in line and pay because she didn't believe we were customers.
I would never come here again. There are better sushi spots in SF.

Long Wait in Empty Restaurant
My experience at this restaurant was marked by an unexpectedly long wait for a single roll, despite the store being empty. The chef in the back seemed disengaged from making orders, leading to a ludicrously long wait with no explanation. This significantly impacted the overall dining experience.
