Delicious Dinner Combo in SF
My experience at the restaurant was a delicious dinner combo! It was a good deal, including a salad, rice, and yummy miso soup, perfect for a cold San Francisco night. I chose the spicy tuna roll and tofu teriyaki as my main dishes, and both were excellent. I will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

Fresh Sushi and Wonderful Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be a great spot for sushi. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was wonderful. There is clearly a reason this place has been open for as long as it has.

Overpriced and Mediocre Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was mediocre, and the service was not very good. Considering the cost, I found it to be overpriced. I would not recommend this establishment and will not be returning.

Delicious Rolls, Perfect Experience!
My experience at the restaurant was extremely positive! I tried the miso soup, Alaska roll, and Caterpillar roll. Everything was extremely tasty 😋. I particularly enjoyed that there was very little rice and lots of delicious stuff inside the rolls, which was perfect!

Exceptional Sushi and Allergy-Conscious Service!
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding! The sushi was of super high quality. What truly impressed me was the amazing service. The staff, particularly a lovely girl, went above and beyond by double and triple-checking ingredients to ensure they were safe for my mom’s food allergies. She even prepared a fresh miso soup so my mom could enjoy it. We will most definitely be back!

Hot Dishes Disappointing, Sushi Unknown
I can't speak to the sushi, so please keep that in mind with this review. My experience with the hot dishes was subpar at best. The Teriyaki chicken was a thin, pan-grilled chicken breast with a teriyaki glaze drizzled over plain white rice. Several pieces of the chicken were unpleasantly crunchy. The chicken and broccoli was slightly better; the chicken was unbreaded but had a nice, light fried crunch, not an undercooked one. If you're in the Knob Hill area and craving sushi, it might be acceptable, but my suggestion is to avoid the hot dishes.

Delicious Food, Great for Solo or Friends
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great place to come with a friend or on your own. My go-to order is the Labamba (no tomatoes) and miso soup. Honestly, everything is delicious. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a 5-star rating. Reservations are not required, and there was no wait time. The price per person is between $20-30.

Worth the Price for Amazing Sushi
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, despite the slightly higher price point. The sushi was absolutely amazing – incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and surprisingly filling. Each piece was packed with flavor, and the quality was evident from the first bite. Beyond the delicious food, the spacious atmosphere was a standout feature. Unlike many cramped sushi spots in SF, this place offers ample room, including a large sushi bar and plenty of table seating, making it ideal for groups or parties. The service was also excellent: super fast, attentive, and friendly, ensuring a smooth experience even when busy. While it is on the pricier side, the combination of such fresh sushi and a comfortable, spacious environment provided great value. I left feeling full, happy, and already planning my next visit. I highly recommend this spot for quality sushi and a great vibe in San Francisco!
