At Koo, you’ll find Sushi at the same highest quality as what you would find in Japan. Our traditionally trained Sushi chefs and their craftsmanship are what makes us different from other places. We first opened our door in 2004 here in the Inner Sunset District, and since then our commitment has been to serve the most authentic sushi and Japanese food to our guests from our neighborhood and beyond. Our deep knowledge in Japanese culture and its culinary tradition has enabled us to not only provide the best experience but also communicate with our customers in a very appreciative way.
High-quality sushi & innovative grilled plates in basic digs with tables & sushi bar seating.

We always walk by but never tried this sushi place before but today we were on an adventure to try new restaurants in Inner sunset that we had never tried before.
The sushi, Inari and sake were all really good. We have found our new local sushi joint now.

Amazing quality and preparation! The tempura shrimp in one of the rolls was freshly fried! Still warm and succulent. The nigiri was outstanding. Hot sake, I don’t know what they use, but had some really nice notes.

March 2025:
It has been over 15 years since I have eaten here. Was very excited to see if this restaurant has maintained their quality. I liked that they had a “catch of the day” menu to highlight specials.
Ordered an Irving roll and a few sushi nigiri. Everything was very tasty . My favorites were the Irving roll, the Shima Aji, the hamachi toro, and the tamago!
Would come back again for more delicious sushi. Service was very friendly. Nice local spot.

Recently eaten at Koo! We sat at the sushi bar where we could watch the chefs prepare rolls as we ate. The food was delicious! We had the “Best” roll which is the one topped with lemon, as well as the “J & L” roll and the spicy tuna roll. Everything was . The Best roll was very unique, with a strong lemony flavor. The J & L roll was very good, and a great way to try the dragon roll and the kamikaze roll in one go. The shrimp tempura on the inside honestly blew me away, the fried crust’s flavor was very apparent but blends in well with the rest of the roll. Finally the spicy tuna roll (my personal way of telling is a sushi restaurant is good or not) had great flavor and was in fact – spicy. Overall a great experience with great service, and the house sake (warm) pared great with the rolls we had. Would definitely recommend Koo if you’re looking for a higher tier of sushi without completely breaking the bank!
Ambiance was relaxed but high end.

There’s a lot of hyperbole in Google reviews that makes it hard to distinguish fine from good to great. Koo deserves all the praise and compliments and five-star ratings. Friends took us to Koo — and reserved the bar seating — for the absolutely best sushi I’ve ever had. The bar experience is unique from the dining room: the sushi chefs make sashimi based on the day’s fish inventory and keep serving until you say to stop. This is among my top 10 restaurants of all time. When I visit SF again, I’ll be back.

I found this place via Maps and its high rankings and was not disappointed. The service was quick, and the Sushi fresh. I can recommend the ‘Best’ Sushi due to its unique lemon flavor.

Came here and sat at the sushi bar and was pleasantly surprised with quality and price. It made a big difference to sit at the sushi bar for a better experience. Not too busy and able to walk in on most nights without a reservation.

The fish was exceptionally fresh. They featured both Japanese and Santa Barbara Uni. Each was delicious. Presentation was first rate. Would highly recommend this place if you are a sushi aficionado.

Koo (which means eat) is an awesome sushi spot and a standout in the crowded field of sushi places in San Francisco.
If you want an authentic omakase experience Koo is the place. Hit the sushi bar, buy the chefs a beer, and ask them to make you anything, you won’t be disappointed.
