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.

Pokemon roll!
Matt ChanSeptember 23, 2013

The volcano roll sounds weird (shrimp, jalapeños and peanut butter) but is fantastic.
Jesse PackerOctober 7, 2013
Great food. Open late. Did I mention great food?
Logan CautrellJune 2, 2014
The uni was tasty and they had Spanish Mackerel.
Kenny WJune 9, 2013
Try their Tsuri Aji - It's the new standard for perfection.
Maria SeredinaFebruary 20, 2012
stays open very late by sf standards, and sushi on par with hatsuhana or blue ribbon
VernaMay 27, 2013
Eh 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".
Katsunori KJune 5, 2016
Be there before 6:30pm if you don't want to wait.
TeresaJune 19, 2015
Late night eats and rolls kind of place. Can get loud.

Don't miss Volcano! It's awesome...
Alex AnokhinJune 13, 2015
Even though the food is not bad, think twice as you might have to wait 1h for an appetizer. And DJ is just annoying really!
Joshua PAugust 8, 2012
Pokemon roll was heaven in my mouth. Best roll ever!!!
Jimmy LuApril 9, 2016
