Busy in the evenings but a great spot for a weekday lunch, esp with the outdoor seating. Rolls are excellent - I particularly liked the Domo baked roll (pictured) and the Kobe Beef one
Mike WinstonAugust 7, 2014This minuscule, relaxed spot serves up some seriously excellent sushi. Don't miss the Uni Crudo or Castro Roll & make sure to check out the specials board. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Amazing fresh sashimi and good seasonal fish selection. Consistent high quality sushi, good roll options. My favorites are the salmon sashimi, Toro and scallop nigiri, their domo and wiki wiki rolls
Danielle FOctober 26, 2014Best kept secret. Great sushi and the salmon sashimi melts in your mouth. VERY small inside with only a few tables, so come early for a cocktail while you wait or enjoy the outdoor seating
Melon LJuly 26, 2015Very good, very fresh sushi but very limited seating. Get here early or plan to wait at least an hour. When you get seated, order everything, especially the sexy mama, fiesta roll and jalapeño hamachi
Yera HaOctober 13, 2015If you're looking for something with a kick, the fish tacos are insanely good and likely to be one of the most unique things you'll eat in SF.
Spoon CarvalhoNovember 5, 2018Service here was slow for such a small diner which was odd, because the two guys behind the counter was cranking them out as quick as they can. I will say, the sashimi was some of the best I’ve had.
- Raghav GulatiAugust 31, 2016Killer for a casual sushi spot. Great presentation, great taste. Will be back many times. If you're looking for Tokyo level sushi, go to Tokyo. Or ju-ni.
Brian StraussJuly 27, 2015Underrated and fairly typical sushi menu, but the execution is so good. The fish is phenomenal -- especially the specials written in the mirror. Get kenmadai nigiri!
Nitzan BSeptember 14, 2019This sushi is a must!! Really good selection and I can't wait to go back and try everything else!
Adell hkFebruary 19, 2018Get a carafe of warm sake for $9 and your usual favorites (for me that's Hamachi, spicy tuna, miso soup, rolls with tempura anything) and make sure to get a $4.50 (tempura) sweet potato roll!
Alex GronbachAugust 17, 2018They have three tables outside in-front of the restaurant which are dog friendly. Each table sits about two people.
I've had pretty amazing salmon sashimi here. The place is tiny, so get there when they first open or be prepared to wait a bit. It's worth the wait!- Yera HaOctober 13, 2015$13 lunch special includes soup, salad and entree. Try the Chirashi. Beautiful and simple, but so fresh and delicious.
Gaurav B.February 13, 2014The firecracker balls were just good. The domo and alpha rolls are awesome! Expect a bit of wait. Also, since its a small restaurant, its recommended to take post-dinner conversation outside.
Runqiu CaiFebruary 5, 2015Seared tuna tataki, hamachi carpaccio, hulk roll, chef's seasonal sashimi. Really melt in your mouth, sizable pieces of sashimi!
- Andrew ChoiJanuary 19, 2017Appetizer portions are generous and tasty. Get the firecracker balls and some nigiri and you're all set.
Becca GrossmanNovember 25, 2015Domo is really cozy and trendy. Cute spot in the heart of Hayes Valley. Pretty small and doesn't take reservations, so not good for big groups.
Shelli BeanMarch 19, 2017Get the fried baby octopus! If it's not available, stuff on the board are usually better than the menu items.
This is a less well known sushi spot that is top notch. Domo roll, walu nigiri, fish tacos, hamachi Kama and you are set. Hope it doesn't get too popular
Jennifer ElizabethOctober 4, 2016Into this place! Amazing fresh sushi!! Great seaweed salad and the firecracker balls were so yummy!!
- Ryan MontiApril 28, 2016Food was wonderful.. Ate and drank with 5 people for less than $100.. Will come back again..
Jo ApplebyOctober 1, 2015Love this little sushi spot! Delicious fish tacos (fried nori!), dragon rolls and the Old School Hama (was that the name?) was amazing!
Jean-Michel HoffmanSeptember 7, 2014The nigiri is awesome. Sit at the sushi bar and order the specials of the day. Reasonably priced for a good sushi restaurant in Hayes Valley.
Yaron SNovember 27, 2014Excellent sushi. Come early or put your name on the list with a phone number and go grab a drink around the area
Rose AJune 1, 2013Don't pass up on the crudo. I recommend the scallop & salmon. So good! And the Spicy Hulk is a delicious alternative for a roll without rice.
Alex MAugust 26, 2014Definitely recommend: sake nigiri, the Castro, Alpha, Dragon, and Domo rolls. So fresh and perfect for 2 people. Delish!
- Sashimi is amazing, high quality, fresh. The fish tacos are different than I have ever tried, loved it!
Sandeep AjithAugust 30, 2012Sit by the sushi chef... He is awesome and very friendly. Get the Dynamite Mussels, Fish Tacos and pay attention to the Nigri Specials on the board.
Great selection of fresh fish. Be sure to check the specials board for the freshest catch.
Raj S.August 26, 2014So happy with this neighborhood sushi spot. Their sake sashimi is so fresh it literally melts in your mouth.
Dave JensenDecember 28, 2015I really enjoy the lunch special. Get that and share a roll and you'll have a filling lunch.
Pavan KulkarniMay 9, 2017The tuna spicy roll and veggie 🍣 were amazing . Nice cozy Hayes valley ambiance
Firecracker Balls. Off the hook. Also owner / sushi chef is awesome, and plays excellent hip hop .
Liliana VolkartJanuary 10, 2013This is a really small restaurant. If you have finished your meal and you see people waiting out in the cold, please be courteous ans take your after dinner conversation to a local bar.
Great lunch special: $13 for miso soup, lettuce salad, and chirashi (two items over rice!)
Vivian WangAugust 16, 2015Cute place. Fish is super fresh. Try the jalapeño wasabi roll if you are looking for a kick
Worth the 30-40 minute wait. No omakase. Great sushi and sashimi. Skip the rolls.
Shannon ClarkJanuary 4, 2013Contrary to foursquare this sushi spot is open for lunch and has fantastic choices - great and tasty Hayes Valley lunch option
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011This Hayes Valley fave offers a modern take on sushi. The little spot makes goldfish bowls seem spacious. Get there early, or expect a bit of a wait. - Inspector
Steve RubinMarch 23, 2016Lunch special- the chirashi. They accommodated my shellfish and avocado allergies admirably.
DSquirrelyNovember 17, 2015I forgot how tasty this place is. Monday night was not crowded so we were able to sit down right away
