Taki Nori Hand Roll Bar

I have visited quite some handroll bars across the States, and yesterday I visited Taki. The quality of the fish is great. Even though they don’t have a wide range of variety but the salmon sashimi that I tried was fresh and flavorful. The ama-ebi handroll was excellent and I highly recommend that one. The other handrolls were also decent with crispy nori and sushi rice seasoned on point.

I wish they had the uni so I could try but overall it is a good dining experience.

I recently had an incredible dining experience at a hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about it! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance that perfectly blended modern elegance with traditional Japanese charm. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the sleek wooden decor to the impeccable presentation of every dish.The highlight of my meal was the fresh, mouthwatering seafood. The oysters were a standout—served on a bed of crushed ice with a slice of lemon, they were briny, plump, and absolutely divine. The texture was flawless, and the freshness was evident in every bite. Alongside the oysters, the sushi selection was a true masterpiece. The nigiri featured a variety of fish, including melt-in-your-mouth tuna and buttery salmon, each piece adorned with a touch of wasabi and garnished with edible flowers and roe for an extra burst of flavor. The shrimp temaki with caviar was a delightful surprise, offering a perfect balance of creamy seafood and the crispness of the nori.What truly elevated this experience was the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chefs. Every dish was a work of art, showcasing their dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship. The service was equally outstanding—attentive yet unobtrusive, with staff who were knowledgeable and passionate about the menu. The portions were just right, leaving me satisfied without feeling overwhelmed.I highly recommend this restaurant to any sushi or seafood lover. It’s a place where every bite feels like a celebration of Japanese cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning and bringing friends along to share this culinary delight. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience, this is the spot to visit—five stars all the way!

This place is honestly one of the few decent hand roll bars in the Bay Area. Every dish is made with super fresh ingredients, and you can really taste the natural sweetness of the seafood.
The Ultimate roll with uni and tuna was next level, the uni was insanely fresh and sweet!! My friend and I both love it!! The chef mentioned it was Hokkaido uni that just came in today, and you can totally taste the difference.
We sat at the open bar where you can watch the chef roll everything right in front of you. The service was quick so we never had to wait long, and the vibe was cozy, very perfect for a date or just catching up with friends. Definitely adding this spot to my pocket list.
Will be back for sure!

Very suitable for a quick meal with abundant seafood. Variety of hand roll choices and the quality is legit. Limited space and menu for a large group of people

Came with a group of 4. Seating is limited, so we sat at the bar. Which, in all honesty, isn’t horrible, because you get to see them making the food. Everything we had was absolutely excellent, tasty, and fresh. Each thing we ordered was served one at a time, which was a nice pacing. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it.

Love their fresh handroll sushi
Reservations are highly recommended if you don’t wait 30 minutes more. The counter table is in high demand. I forgot to mention on the reservation note that they put me on the table, which was kind of messed up by the kids
I wish they had more variety of rolls!
We had Tuna, Hamachi, Snow Crab, and Shrimp Tempura. They were all good, but not really worth the price. I think one roll costs $6 -$15 w/o tax and tips. If you can eat them for less than $3, then you are in Japan.

Saw people bringing up Kazunori but can you really compare the two? Kazunori lacked the specialty sets that Taki Nori offers. We both ordered their premium set, which included Japanese scallops, lobster, wagyu, and uni & toro hand rolls. We also tried a few of their other hand rolls a la carte style. The uni handroll was easily our favorite (Japanese uni btw!).

Handroll Project is still the better value, but this is a nice addition to Bay Area. Service was also good – the server we had was very attentive and prompt. We did have a small issue with snow crab running out, but the server resolved it for us. Overall a good experience here for us.

In love with this handroll bar!! Their food was really fresh and with amazing flavor & texture!
I personally like the hamachi, salmon belly & scallop rolls. Their oysters were on point too besides i think it was a bit small 🙁
Overall a pretty good place for a night out with your friends or on a date!
