This place is incredible in food, service, and atmosphere. Such amazing quality fish and delicious dishes.
My favorite was their hand rolls and the hirame usuzukuri (like a carpaccio). Even their green tea was made well, not bitter at all – so smooth. I dont think you could get anything wrong here.

Quite simply some of the best sushi you will find in the Bay. When normally good Japanese restaurants break the bank, the quality for the price here is unmatched. With only a handful of seats within, make sure to call ahead to guarantee a spot. Also a perfect date-night spot, 10/10 would recommend.

Ok so I have pretty much given up eating sushi cause the quality even at highly rated places seems to be a bit meh now a days. Stumbled on Butterfish last night and I was literally transported back to Japan!
I wish I could give them 10 stars. The food is just exquisite. Just come and try it yourself cause I really won’t do justice to it with mere words.
And the best part is you will receive the most hospitalable service which again transports you back to Japan. I wish other restaurants that are allegedly fancy would learn from this service team.
We enjoyed the food so much we over ate and it was totally worth the constitutional we needed to take after the meal
The fish is fresh, presented in innovative ways, they don’t skimp on quantity, service completely above and beyond and lovely atmosphere.
I give this place 10 happy bellies

Came here last-minute looking for a good sushi place, and it was amazing. Atmosphere was indeed omakase-esque as other reviews state, really small and intimate. Sat at the bar and watched the chef at work, which I would highly recommend. I don’t think you would go wrong at all ordering anything off the menu, everything we had was delicious. Portions on the salmon avocado roll were large, and there was never any padding for space in a roll with extra rice… just more fish. A bit on the pricey side, but very much worth it and really close to the best sushi I’ve had.

Butterfish Sushi is a wonderful place to enjoy a great meal. The sushi is made with fresh fish, and every plate is beautifully decorated. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience very enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern — a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.

This is a beautiful japenese sushi restaurant right on university ave. I came with a book but happened to run into childhood friends at the sushi bar ☺️. The ambience is sweet, dimmed lightening and light music. I ordered the eel unagi, tuna roll, and fresh oysters (they were like firecrackers in my mouth, super flavorful and magical) Easily my new favorite sushi spot in the Bay!

I quite enjoy this sushi spot on University.
I’ve been here about 3 times now and have enjoyed everything I’ve ordered. I definitely recommend the main dishes that come with miso and rice. You get more bang for your buck. This time around I ordered the saba mackerel and it was delicious. The fish comes with seaweed salad, cucumbers, miso soup, rice, and salad. Last time I ordered the hamachi collar and it was def a favorite. Their food is always presented so elegantly. The inside is small so it can get packed easily. Surprisingly it wasn’t that crowded around lunch time on a Monday though. Keep in mind that they do close after lunch service to prepare for dinner service. We were able to get a table for a group of 6 right away. Parking is metered on the street and can be difficult to be find. Staff is super sweet and accommodating. Someone in our party accidentally knocked over some of the miso soup and the waitress happily gave him a new one and also replaced his tray and helped cleaned the table. Inside gives a cozy and relaxing feel and the tableware was nice as well.

Serving food in visibly moldy tableware is a serious health risk. Mold exposure can be dangerous and potentially carcinogenic, and this situation should never happen in a restaurant. What makes this worse is that the staff and manager were clearly aware of the problem, yet showed no intention of taking responsibility or improving the situation.
Our meal was served in a wooden bento box that was clearly moldy, with visible mold that had already penetrated deep into the wood. Unfortunately, the food was placed on top of the box, so we did not see the mold until after we had finished eating.
When we brought this to the staff’s attention, the responses were shocking.
The waitress simply said, “Oh wow, that’s mold,” and walked away without taking any action.
We then informed another waitress, who reacted by saying, “That’s gross, it’s really mold. I’ll go ask inside.” She went inside, came back out, and then completely ignored us. There was no follow-up, no explanation, and no resolution.
Eventually, we informed a male staff who turned out to be the manager/owner of this restaurant. Instead of apologizing or addressing the issue, he blamed us, asking why we didn’t tell him before we ate. This response was unacceptable. The moldy container was covered under the food, making it impossible for us to notice beforehand.
If you think the food there was tasty, perhaps it was from the flavor of unknown contamination added, very likely out of their awareness. Diners should be very cautious. No meal is worth risking your health by consuming mold or food served in unsanitary conditions.

Staff was super friendly, didn’t have to wait at all since I was solo and got a bar seat. Got the lobster special and a salmon teriyaki meal. Both were incredible. Didn’t get a picture of the lobster as I was too hungry to photograph. But here’s the salmon teriyaki
