eifehJanuary 18, 2015Best affordable sushi in SF! Service can be slow, but always friendly. Try the rolls (Hawaiian #2: albacore and macadamia nuts) and the baked mango dish! Cash only. Get there before opening or wait.
Sherry LiOctober 26, 2016Small shop, just a few counter seats and tables. There's one guy doing all the sushi so expect to wait a little. But the food is really good! Not super classic sushi (is a bit fusion-y), but tasty!
1) Put name down on board. 2) Wait. Yes, it's worth the wait. 3) Order (at the very least) baked bass, spicy hamachi, Hawaiian roll #1 & 2. 4) Get check; Be amazed at how inexpensive it is. 5) Profit.
Kait GaissMay 13, 2016Other favorite sushi place. Small, almost hole-in-the-wall establishment hidden off Market. Space is small, so be prepared to wait for a table (it's worth it).- Josh AdamsJune 3, 2011Be prepared for a very long wait, even for 1-2 people. It's fun to watch the chefs make magic from the bar seats and if you have a thing for baked appetizers check out the mushroom & jalapeno dishes.
Yuriy RuskoNovember 20, 2011One of the five best sushi restaurants I've visited. The prices are very fair for the level of food you get. Try the baked mussels. Be warned: cash only and really long wait with a self sign-up sheet.
Edmundo RuizAugust 25, 2013Waited for more than an hour to get seated, but the food was worth the wait! Absolutely one of the best sushi places in the city. Get the baked mussels if you're there!
The baked mussels are worthy of visiting again. The salmon sashimi was the best I've ever had. Ordered the Hawaiian Roll #2 for the crunchy macadamia nuts but was underwhelmed. Total bill for 2? $50.- Order: baked mussels, spicy scallop roll, crab hand roll; nigiri: tataki albacore, sake, hamachi, unagi, uni (if available), saba; bonus: mango salmon roll.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanJune 23, 2013Don't let the name fool you. This is a legit spot for solid sushi. Do go early & order the baked sea bass apptz. NYers: think of it as SF's equivalent to Tomoe.- Michael LevyFebruary 27, 2022Baked muscles, baked bass, the rolls... Everything was fantastic. Some of the best sushi I've had in SF.
Holger LüdorfAugust 20, 201116 seats (2 tables x4, + 8 seats at the bar. Come early. Great spicy tuna & spicy hamachi. The Baked Bass is a must. Uni is ultra fresh and straight from Mendecino.- Artur PokusinJune 14, 2015Baked Mussels are great. Hawaiian rolls are also great. Spicy hamachi roll is great. The water is to die for.
Tom CardenMay 13, 2012Small, delicious, friendly. Don't bother with a big group - 2 is best, 4 will mean a longer wait. Write your name on the small whiteboard inside on the right and be patient :)
JennyJuly 20, 2016Gari saba (or any form of mackerel), mussels. Cash only, very reasonable prices for the quality of the meal and dining experience
The spicy hamachi roll has hamachi, jalapeño, lime slices, sprouts, avocado, and is some sort of magical deliciousness.- Michael LevyFebruary 27, 2022Some of the best sushi I've had in the City. Everything was really fantastic.
- In case you're interested in Nashville (eggplant), they unfortunately don't serve it anymore 😣
Showtime NetworkJune 18, 2010The absolute freshest sushi in town. Unless you know where it is, you may just miss it. This tiny little joint seats no more than 15 people so expect to wait. But it's well worth it. - Jill
Worth the wait - hang in there! Baked mango sea bass and best albacore in town make it worth it.
Lea Dessi-OliveDecember 14, 2014Gluten free friendly, Hawaiian #2 is awesome, small place worth trying if you're willing to wait
Peter ShanleyNovember 19, 2009Go to Sushi Zone early in the night, get the Hawaiin #1 & #2 (mango/macadamia and avocado/macadamia) and the Spicy Hamachi (fresh jalapeno, lime zest) and start with the mussels. KABOOM
- Be sure to try the albacore tataki nigiri. I think we bought them out one time.
Rey FAugust 10, 2014Hawaiian roll #2 is not to be missed!!! Seriously my favorite roll at this place.
Always get the Baked Mussels for appetizers. When going through the rolls, I say try their specialties. Hawaiian Roll #2 (Mango) is way better than their Spider Roll. Cheaper too!
Scott LeathermanNovember 6, 2011Order what you live at other sushi bars. It's better an bigger. Baked bass an other favorites are good but not worth skipping what you love on a regular sushi dinner experience
Get the baked seabass - it's baked on a mussel shell with mango. An unexpectedly good combination. Also, the fish is just so fresh here.
bianca cheng costanzoAugust 28, 2014Order the off-menu Uni with Quail Egg : the main reason that I would come here.
Put your name down, go next doors to Destino and grab a drink while you wait.
Hawaiian role #2. Nasu. Jalapeño pepper. Mango salmon. You can thank me later.- Must haves: baked mussels, spicy scallop roll. Not popular with the "zomg California roll is great sushi" crowd but worth trying: uni and amaebi - with the heads (not on the menu).
- Albacore, spicy tuna, hawaiian role... All awesome. But be prepared to wait.
Loren MillerJanuary 21, 2014Arrive at 430 if you want to be seated at 5. Awesome sushi spot but small and very popular.
Robbie Dean Salazar, Jr.March 13, 2013Get here around 5, it's really small and fills up fast but sooooooo worth the wait.- Elaine CourtneyAugust 18, 2011Definitely get the baked mussels. Not a huge selection of sushi/rolls but you get fruit like mango in the mix, which is interesting.
Mandy MarksApril 10, 2011Get there before it opens- and order the baked mussels and spicy hamachi. Worth the wait.
