Brian StraussJune 26, 2018Stunning. Excellent and personal service. A nigiri heavy omakase with lots of creative surprises. Trust the staff for sake recommendations. We took the the chef’s advice and opted for the $120 level.Upvote6Downvote
Megan AllisonJune 5, 2019Really fucking good. Charming service, brilliant dishes, flawless beverage pairing. Late Capitalism in San Francisco's best-of-genre. Wagyu nigiri with shaved foie, and Warren G on the soundsystem 👌
Upvote5Downvote- VernaAugust 8, 2017Omakase + hip hop playlist. Great spot. Faves: toro, black truffle sesame noodles, seared wagyu with foie snowUpvote7Downvote
Andy WangSeptember 7, 2018Great omakase experience. Not old school Japanese style by fantastic none the less. Price range is 85-185. Suggest you go all in and get the priciest option. You won’t regret it

Time Out San FranciscoFebruary 22, 2018The seasonal omakase-style menu progresses from lean to fatty fish; guests can expect standouts like starry flounder served with Meyer lemon, shiso, and blood-orange kosho. Read more

Aaron AllonNovember 25, 2018Modern take on traditional sushi. Go here! Arrive hungry and get the omakase. WAit for seats at the sushi bar (avoid the restaurant seating.).

Kendall ThorntonAugust 4, 2017It's pretty good, not the absolute best (hashiri & ijji). Fun atmosphere, good for groups. Go with the fattier fish. No nigori.Upvote1Downvote
Nathan JSeptember 20, 2019The best omakase deal in town. They are very innovative and also perfect traditional dishes. A must try for sushi lovers in the BayUpvoteDownvote

Tim MillerAugust 21, 2018A++++. Not sure why it doesn't get the love on the SF restaurant listsUpvote1Downvote
David EisenbergNovember 11, 2018Expensive but worth it. Interesting and fresh fish served strictly as omakase.UpvoteDownvote
- Bobbie McLellanSeptember 19, 2017Don't go all out for the price range of omakase. It's not worth it. If you really want to try it, go lower price point and try to add in the fatty and medium fatty tuna.

David HoltzAugust 10, 2017The omakase was good (and dynamically priced!). No ginger in between pieces, which was interesting. The sake soft serve was so delicious!UpvoteDownvote2

"Amazing Omakase experience. Respecting tradition yet innovative. The rice is like Sukiyabashi Jiro but less vinegary. Gotta do the supplement menu."
Andy Wang - 8.6
"Delicious, fresh sushi. Nice, fun sushi chefs. Omakase price changes based on the menu. Prices are definitely “cheap” compared to other omakase in the city. Reservations recommended."

"Good omakase with variety. I liked that they opened with a few non-sushi items. All fish was very fresh. Our chef for the night was a very nice older Japanese man. Wait staff was also very pleasant."
