Reviews
I had the incredible pleasure of dining at Sushi Hakko today with my 17-year-old daughter, and we were completely blown away. Chef Alex, the owner of the restaurant, was personally behind the counter preparing our 19-course omakase tasting menu — and every single dish was a masterclass in flavor, balance, and craftsmanship.
From the first bite, it was clear that Chef Alex isn’t just serving sushi — he’s telling a story. Every piece was served over perfectly warm rice, seasoned precisely to highlight each fish. The attention to tradition was striking: for example, the miso black cod was prepared using a 16th-century Japanese recipe. Unlike the sweeter versions popularized by Nobu, this one had a deeper, more nuanced umami profile — thanks in part to the two-year fermented miso he uses. Honestly, it was even better than the version at Nobu.
Standout dishes? Too many to name, but the Toro Tartare with caviar and uni on a rice cracker was truly out of this world — and came with a hand-drawn visual design created by Chef Alex himself. That artistic touch elevated the dish even further. The Uni, O-Toro, and Kinmedai were exceptional, and the final panna cotta was unexpectedly one of the best I’ve ever had — smooth, delicate, and beautifully balanced.
Chef Alex is clearly a perfectionist and an artist. It shows not only in the food but in the way the entire experience is orchestrated. Sushi Hakko deserves a Michelin star — not just for the food, but for the heart, history, and vision behind it.
If you’re looking for a memorable, elevated sushi experience in San Francisco — this is the place.
The menu thoughtfully highlights wine pairings for each course, making it easy to enhance your dining experience. However, be prepared for a 20% service charge, regardless of your party size.
The omakase at the sushi bar comprises an impressive 19 courses, starting with edamame tofu and progressing through highlights like the flavorful suma katsu, the rich red crab soup, the melt-in-your-mouth chu toro, the sweet and delicate hotate, the luxurious uni, the satisfying toro tartare, the buttery king salmon, and the exquisite panna cotta.
Our 19 course omakase included- edamame tofu, medai, suma katsu, red crab soup, hirame, tsuri aji, chu toro, kinmedai, hotate, ankimo, miso black cod, king salmon, toro, o-toro, masaba, uni, toro tartare, red miso soup and miso panna cotta.
While the fish was undeniably fresh, some early nigiri pieces, such as the medai (chewy due to the skin) and the tsuri aji (with a stronger fishy taste than usual), didn’t quite impress.
However, the second set of nigiri showcased greater depth of flavor. The panna cotta, with its silky smooth texture, was a perfect finale.
The service was consistently excellent, with a friendly chef adding to the positive atmosphere. The ginger on the side was a delicious touch, and the ambiance was inviting.
Overall, Sushi Hakko offers a memorable omakase experience, but be careful when considering the bar seating.
All sushi we had were amazing. Otoro and Uni in particular were top notch. They tasted so fresh and melted in my mouth.
The place has great ambience as well – light jazz music playing in the background with modern and spacious space.
Staffs were super attentive, and chef Alex was very kind, informative, and polite.
