Jennifer YipSeptember 15, 2014come early if you want first seating otherwise expect to wait at least 20 minutes for a table!
Best sashimi in the city. Try any of their "jumping" rolls.
Ms HeleneOctober 4, 2018$40 sashimi dinner, wait for a table, loud rock music and no substitutions policy.
The volcano roll sounds weird (shrimp, jalapeños and peanut butter) but is fantastic.
Maria SeredinaFebruary 20, 2012stays open very late by sf standards, and sushi on par with hatsuhana or blue ribbon
VernaMay 27, 2013Eh it's ok. Really nice staff but long wait and far from attentive service. I had to ask for things like water multiple times. The sushi itself is very fresh but nothing I'd consider a "must do".
BravoNovember 29, 2010Best sushi. Cool little basement place on the hill. -Stephen Hopcraft, Top Chef
Alvin RuangsomboonOctober 14, 2011Shishito pepper are a little spicy, I'm Thai and it was a nice little surprise
Alex AnokhinJune 13, 2015Even though the food is not bad, think twice as you might have to wait 1h for an appetizer. And DJ is just annoying really!
Lillian CheungSeptember 6, 2015Line is ridiculous. Put your name down an hour early on weekend evenings
Cass CAugust 18, 2013Go down the block to Honey Honey for a beer while you wait an hour to be seated

"Chartreuse Swizzle is amazing. Sit at the bar to watch the show--muddling, "herb slapping", shaking, nutmeg grating, etc."
Ashlie O'Day - 8.8
"Great bar ( very nice door keeper) with great cocktails. Small menu but you can order everything you want. Fantastic whisky selection. Better reserve than you have access to a more secret room."
