Takara Sushi is such a gem! It’s a small restaurant, which adds to its unique charm and cozy ambiance. I didn’t need a reservation, and honestly, I think this place is underrated, this was my second time eating here!
The sushi rolls and appetizers were fantastic! We started with the baked eggplant appetizer topped with shrimp—absolutely delicious—and the wok-tossed edamame with garlic, which was packed with flavor.
For the rolls, we ordered the SF roll and the Pink Dragon roll. The SF roll was beautifully presented with crispy flakes and tobiko, and the spicy tuna had the perfect balance of heat (kind of mild) and texture, it was definitely a standout dish!
The Pink Dragon roll was baked and served in foil, with a mild yet flavorful spicy dressing that complemented the salmon perfectly.
Highly recommend Takara Sushi for anyone looking for excellent food and last but not least, AMAZING service!

Creative and delicious sushi rolls and equally tasty sushi specials at prices so reasonable it’s hard to believe it’s in San Francisco. Both special rolls we ordered were fantastic and presented artistically, and the nigiri was excellent, the rice just flavorful enough to complement the fish. The place is tiny, but we got seats at the bar, which is nice. Only downside was the intermittent service. Certainly worth coming here for sushi if you’re in the Castro.

Imagine your favorite neighborhood sushi spot in the outskirts of Tokyo, where everyone is framily and the fish is fresh today, every day, the need is cold and the sake is from a secret cellar in the mountains of Hokkaido. Then imagine that spot is in your back yard, in the Castro. Boom! You’re here at Takara. By far my favorite sushi in SF, and California. You won’t be disappointed, unless you’re a party of 10 – because it’s cozy as….its really cozy 🙂

I was told about Takara Sushi SF by a friend who lives here in SF. Really glad we made it here! Upon entering we were greeted with smiles and great energy. We ordered Miso soup to start. They immediately brought us out tables to accommodate our party. Menus and specials were introduced and explained to us. High quality fish imported A5 Japanese Wagyu. I was super excited to be eating here! I will definitely be returning here!

Excellent and very unusual selection of fish (you can see aji on the pic). Their lunch special (4 pieces of sushi, one roll and a miso soup) seems like great value at USD 14 given the quality (even if the pieces are a bit smaller). The space is small but cosy, and service is good. Takara never disappoints for a sushi fix in SF.

Delicious selection. Equally awesome staff! Give your mouth a treat and get your taste buds over here!
Had the firecracker (not pictured) volcano, (the epic mountain), x-roll, red dragon, and salmon roll which all come recommended.
Give me more volcano crunch in my life. I just want to dip everything in it.
