Amazing Omakase Experience!
This was my first time at the restaurant, and it certainly won't be my last. We opted for the 139 omakase menu, and it truly did not disappoint! We were delighted to receive not one, not two, but three dishes featuring nigiri – an unheard-of offering! Our hosts, B and Bella, were absolutely amazing. We've become fans and love the team here! We called ahead and were assured of two seats. Despite a line out the door upon arrival, B stayed true to his word, which we were very thankful for. The customer service here is 5 stars. We also loved the wooden Japandi decor.

Delicious Food, Excellent Service, Beautiful Ambiance
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the toro and wagyu box, which was absolutely delicious. The service from the wait staff was excellent, and the interior design was beautiful. I will definitely be visiting again!

A Soul-Soothing Sushi Sanctuary
This place has become my second home. I frequently visit during lunch, and it consistently soothes my soul. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with delectable and truly fresh fish that they import, makes for a special experience. The people are wonderful, and the food is even better. I highly recommend it if you enjoy sushi. You truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu, though I'd suggest passing on the gyudon.

Excellent Sushi Near Golden Gate Park
My son and I had an excellent lunch at this really great sushi place. It was conveniently located just two blocks from the Golden Gate Park 9th street entrance, making for an easy walk. The atmosphere was very nice, with tables spaced well so as not to feel crowded. The food was fantastic and very fresh. Additionally, the service was quick and friendly.

Absolutely Delicious and Memorable Experience!
My experience at Zentarou was 10/10! The food and service were amazing. The team at Zentarou are so lovely, and the sushi is fresh and creatively made. We ordered the Zentarou box, Miracle roll, and Zeitaku don, and everything was so decadent and yummy! The craft cocktails and sake selection are also great and pair wonderfully with the food. I definitely recommend Zentarou for any occasion!

Omakase Supreme at the Bar
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially when opting for the Omakase supreme and choosing to sit at the bar. The chef runs a great kitchen, delivering an exceptional culinary experience. The food was rated a perfect 5, and the atmosphere also received a 5-star rating. It was a quiet environment, making it easy to talk. Reservations are recommended, and the price per person is $100+.

Amazing Food and Welcoming Atmosphere
We visited this restaurant for the first time a few months ago and have since become regulars. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the food overall is amazing. The environment is also very pleasant. B personally ensures all customers are well taken care of, making you feel like a welcomed guest in his home.

Hip, Trendy, and Delicious Sushi
Do you want to feel hip and trendy? My experience at this restaurant was just that. Expect to spend around $100-120 per person, but their sushi is pretty darn good. I especially recommend trying their sushi specials!

Authentic Kyoto Sushi Experience
Just returned from Japan and discovered this gem located next to Golden Gate Park. They specialize in Kyoto style sushi, and all their sake is imported from Japan, which truly brought back memories of my frequent trips there (I usually visit 2-3 times a year). I'm planning to return with my family soon. Great job, team!
