Came for lunch and we were happy with our meal. Service was friendly and gracious. Good variety menu items. Portions and prices were reasonable. Chicken katsu was not dry. The food will not knock you out of this world but it will fill you up and not break the bank.

Kitaro has been a fixture in the Richmond district as far back as the early 90’s when it was located on the north side of Geary, next the municipal parking lot. Since the founding owner sold it, it Now it sits opposite side in the south side and the food is still equally good.
Lunch specials are a great deal: 2 items combo for about $19
Sashimi portions are generous and fresh.
Chicken Karaage is juicy and crunchy.
The Beef teriyaki is so-so, the beef could use a longer searing to char the meat and create that burnt crisp that would go well with the sweet Teri sauce.
It can be noisy when is at full capacity.

I’ve now been to Kitaro twice for lunch, and both times I left thoroughly satisfied. Their lunch specials are easily some of the best deals in San Francisco. Unlike many Japanese restaurants where a lower price means smaller portions, Kitaro serves full dinner‑sized portions at lunch for around $13–16.
The quality is excellent. The tempura here is some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy, light breading with vegetables cooked perfectly inside. I especially enjoyed the broccoli, zucchini, and green beans, which paired beautifully with the crunchy batter. The shrimp tempura was great too, but the vegetables really stood out.
Their rolls, like California and spicy tuna, are larger than what you typically find elsewhere. On my first visit, I ordered the nigiri special and was impressed by both the presentation and the generous portion. The server even advised me to wait before ordering more, and he was right—I was full and happy with just the platter.
On my second visit, I tried the bento boxes and lunch combos, which were equally satisfying. Next time I’m excited to try the udon and donburi bowls.
The miso soup and salad are also very good, generously portioned, and well seasoned.
Kitaro has quickly become my favorite spots in the city, and I look forward to returning often with my son.

Service is good. Price is inexpensive.
Ordered the assorted sashimi combo. It comes with soup and salad. From the menu, I should get 12 pieces. But I actually got 24. Not sure why. But each piece is so small and so thin. I believe it will be still very small if you combine two pieces into one. Not even that, the taste is not good as other good Japanese restaurants. I will not order it again next time.
The grilled salmon is good.

Great rolls for low prices.

I’ve been coming since before the pandemic. Recently, I ordered a salmon roll, three avocado rolls, a salmon and avocado roll, a California roll, a crab salad roll, a tuna roll, and two cucumber rolls for delivery through Doordash. They were very fresh and came with plenty of wasabi, soy sauce, and ginger. Each roll was six pieces and my subtotal was $40 before fees and tip.
I’ve never had a bad experience here and I highly recommend this location if you want affordable and tasty sushi.

This is one of my favorite sushi spots in the city. I been coming here since my middle school days. They have good offers during lunch where it can be packed at times but worth all the wait since I have high patience. I usually dine in and is assured by their well trained and friendly staffs. I always leave satisfied and on a great stomach. I highly recommend this place to any sushi lover or if you’re just hungry. Definitely will be back!

Great dining experience! Workers work really hard & give great service . Servers helped multiple tables very efficiently. and refilled water and tea with good frequency.
The food was fresh, and really tasty. The portions were large, especially the chicken katsu dinner plate. Thr chicken comes with side of rice , miso soup , and salad. I was really hungry, and I still had leftovers for a doggie bag. Spouse had vegetable tempura with salmon sashimi, and it was also really good.
The value is great, for you can get a combo dinner (aka bento box) for $20.

Great value, descent taste and quick, friendly service!
They have an unusual combination in lunch specials: Udon with salmon sashimi bowl. I also added spicy miso broth to udon for $1 extra. Spicy and miso are also a surprise, but the taste was very smooth. The bowl of rice is covered with a dozen or so salmon stripes, cut smaller than your typical sashimi but still has enough meat to fill me up. The salmon tastes rich and fresh, just what I expected. At a total of under $11, that’s a steal. I also ordered a side of edamame with garlic sauce, another surprise considering most restaurants serve edamame sides plain. My entire meal costed $15 and odds, and was so fulfilling I couldn’t eat dinner.
I entered the restaurant after 2pm on a Sunday. The orders came very quickly. With three waitresses and at least one waiter, I expect orders to be equally fast on weekdays – if you can get a seat. The space is really small, I think they have less than a dozen tables that barely seat four each. Decoration is light yet themed. (The Japanese name suggests ghost, so there are monsters on the wall. There is even a hint of Godzilla although I do not see it in display.)
Update: I have since come here several times with my daughter and have not been disappointed. This is surprisingly close to the Golden Gate Park.
All in all, this is a great place to eat if you come to that area.

Miso soup was good and not too salty. Tempura is good and not soggy. Chicken teriyaki is tasty and not drenched in sauce. Salmon is very fresh and soft. Karaage has lots of flavor and a dipping sauce. Overall, not a bad meal for the price.
