I have come here over 100 times, and consistently Eric is innovating. After having lived in SF for 15+ years I have tried every sushi place from Robin to Ebisu to the best in Japan town. There’s no better place than this for sushi in San Francisco. You’ll never have to wait to get in, it’s priced incredibly reasonably (homemade wagyu dumpling is like $7), and everyone is so welcoming. If great food at a killer price is your metric, this place is unbeatable.

I can’t recommend their omakase enough. Each and every piece/dish that we were served throughout the 18-course meal was such a delight. Beautiful presentation, great attention to detail and high quality ingredients. We were lucky enough to be served by Chef Eric, who gave us detailed explanations of the fish we were about to eat and how it was prepared. It was great chatting with him throughout the meal. Chef Eric and the rest of the Kabuto staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Can’t wait to be back again!

You simply cannot beat the value at Kabuto. The price top quality ratio is insane as the fish is so fresh, beautifully/thoughtfully presented. It’s definitely an authentic experience through and through.
It’s a small mom and pop shop, so best to make reservations! They are so sweet and kind here.

Kabuto is the best sushi restaurant in San Francisco. Hands down a great hidden gem! I was recommended to go here and was so impressed with the complex flavors. I highly recommend the Hamachi Pear, Ceviche, and Spicy Tuna roll.
I’ll be thinking of these flavors for a long time!

Great news – Kabuto is still awesome! This used to be my favorite sushi place in SF about a decade ago. My gluttony has since expanded its scope (hahaha), but sometimes you CAN go home again. I was shocked that Eric Cho (the owner), who doesn’t seem to have aged a day, recognized me. We ordered the Omakase because it’s only $99 here and I trust the chefs to serve their best fish of the day. One of the things I’ve always loved about Kabuto is that this place was serving up interesting fusion sushi at a time when other places were merely branching out into “specialty” rolls. Well, the current menu did not disappoint! I’m dropping some photos below of our favorite dishes (like the waguy dumpling with ankimo and caviar or the truffle ankimo caviar toro nigiri) and already looking forward to coming back.

Came here on Christmas Eve as all the other higher end, top rated sushi restaurants were booked up. This neighborhood favorite did not disappoint! Excellent selection of fresh fish and most importantly excellent service…the waitress was able to suggest many different options for dietary restrictions like vegan, vegetarian, etc.

Exceptional sushi and sashimi, my husband has been coming for years as a local and we came back on our visit for what he promised as one of the best sushi! Everything we had was amazing, the delicate mouthfuls with truffle and gold leaf were incredible. Highly recommend! Wish we weren’t living on the other side of the world.

This is a hidden gem. Tiny hole in the wall with the best signature sushi and hospitality. I recommend ordering from their signature menu.

Delicious sushi and very creative combinations! We especially loved the waguy dumplings and albacore salad. Salmon and tuna options were super fresh and tasty.
