The vibe is fun and friendly, and the sushi is seriously good. Think gleaming pieces of fluke, kanpachi, or sea bream, alongside a perfect spicy tuna roll.

Great sushi place on Polk. Nice bar counter seating. A few other tables. Intimate setting. Food is fresh and innovative. Great wide selection of different fish to choose from. Sushi chefs are informative and friendly. Only downside is parking is difficult in the area. Take Uber!

In San Francisco for one night and wanted some great sushi and we lucked out finding this gem of a place. We grabbed a reservation which I highly recommend since it was packed. We sat at the sushi bar with a great view to watch them work their magic. I got the jackalope which was recommended by our sever and it was so good and I also ordered the Fresco which was also really yummy. My husband got sashimi of all kinds and loved it all. We also got a seaweed salad which was great too.

Cute atmosphere, amazing, attentive service and great food! Def some of the best sushi my fiancé and I have had yet. We aren’t from the area but came from our engagement shoot over at city hall and we loveeee sushi- we decided what better place to get fresh sushi than sf- we couldn’t be more pleased with our pick! the cinch roll and the hey girl rolls were my personal fav, but everything was so tasty. And the sake we even got the sweetest little surprise at the end as a congratulations to us on our upcoming wedding 100000/10 food + experience and can’t wait to be back!

Very tasty sushi spot with fresh fish. The atmosphere is cozy, careful about what you order because it may be a bit too cozy and hard to fit more than 4 dishes on a table for 2.

This place is my go-to sushi restaurant. I had a Kama Toro, Fly Squid and a silky, smooth Scallop among many other nigiri items at most recent visit this past weekend. You can’t go wrong with any of their nigiri. If you’re having trouble deciding highly recommend the 8 piece nigiri option. They serve fish slices that wraparound the rice, meaning rice is less dominate. Always fresh. Other favorite nigiri pieces are salmon belly, hon toro, and ocean trout. Rolls are also tasty, and not packed, though solid portions. Service has gotten better and better each time I visit. It was never bad, but it’s only improved. Either location floats my boat.

this place is so good. had reservations and they sat us immediatelyyyyyy, who doesn’t love that. great rolls with the freshest fish and super attentive staff.
small place that’s great for date night cause they don’t blast the damn music. prime for eavesdropping on the people’s conversations next to you. fun game to guess whether the people next to you are on a first/ second/ third/ date and speculating what dating app they met on! love this place

Main Complaint: Sushi rice was dry and mushy, some pieces were over compressed/way too dense for the amount of fish given
-the same vinegar was used across all fish types regardless of fat content/flavor profile
Notes:
-Sushi rice needs serious work, I’ve had better sushi rice at Kura Sushi/budget sushi mom and pop places
-Fish quality itself was decent and had a wide variety of options
-cheaper quality wasabi used
-nice ambiance at night, dark candlelit vibe
-no wasabi or soy sauce/salinity was pre-applied to the nigiri except for pieces with yuzu kosho
-Aburi pieces were not seared enough or draw out fat or warm the fish
-No one said thank you as we left the restaurant, given we just blew $130 at ur place that would have been nice to hear on the way out
-mostly non-Asians eating inside, seemed like the tables around us were having sushi for the first time (which is totally fine, but to me to speaks to the audience they are catering towards)

I would give this spot 10 stars if I could. My boyfriend and I usually come here once a week! Kay and Henry are incredible. Food, service, and vibes are great. My favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area!!
