Interesting experience here. The owner/chef was very friendly. Seems to be an one-man operation with very limited seating.. so be sure to make a reservation.

Excellent but you need to reserve your seat well in advance. Toro tuna was the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. Service is excellent. Drink menu is anemic but you wont care after the tuna and the mango spicy tuna roll which is amazing.

Interesting experience here. The owner/chef was very friendly. Seems to be an one-man operation with very limited seating.. so be sure to make a reservation. The food was good and priced very appropriately. Loved how omakase also came with maki, miso soup, and salad. We spent a little more to get a few nigiris on the side. Highly recommend the uni.

Hidden gem. I wish I could gate keep it but have to share it in case it may go out of business.
So the restaurant experience is quite unique. It’s open only 2 hours a day (6-8 pm). It requires a reservation but don’t be too worried. I called just one hour before the opening and got accepted.
Slow jazz music. Old paintings. Kind Japanese man my father’s age is taking the order. Curious strangers are looking at us through the window but it doesn’t disturb the magical atmosphere of peace; it only adds to it.
I’ve been to many restaurants in the U.S. But this was probably the first time it felt home

The best, freshest sushi I’ve ever had. Intimate dining setting with limited seats, so you need to call in advance. The rolls are so high quality and shockingly affordable. I’ve had much worse rolls for double the price at other restaurants. Such an amazing spot that I’ll miss when I leave SF.

Best sushis I’ve had in San Francisco!
The sushi chef was also kind enough to allow us to stay even if we had no reservation as he was very busy serving other customers.
Also I would rate as A1 the cleanliness of the place, and the care the sushi chef takes when he handles the food, making sure the fish stay refrigerated at all time.
I highly recommend this sushi bar!

This was the best sushi I’ve had in my life! Went with three friends and we all got the $28 omakase. The quality of fish is excellent and there is a lot of care that goes into the sushi. The toro nigiri was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. As others have mentioned, there is only one sushi chef who does everything, so you may have to wait a little for your food but it is well worth it, and you do have to make a reservation for dinner. If I am ever back in SF I will be back, highly highly recommend!

Top quality sushi, fresh ingredients and a unique quiet atmosphere. I got the snow leopard roll, and a few others and they all were perfect and I enjoyed watching him make them.
