"Barracuda Sushi was one of the best sushi places I have been to, and definitely deserves a spot among SF's top sushi bars. The food was excellent, with just enough of a twist from "traditional" sushi to be enjoyable, without overdoing it as some fusion restaurants do. However, be prepared for a wait, even with reservations, as the place is usually packed, and don't be fooled by the seemingly cheap menu prices (around $7-$13 a roll). The food is excellent, but the servings are small, so expect to order at least two if you are hungry. Either way, Barracuda Sushi is definitely worth your money, and I highly recommend going for any occasion"

"I had a large group dinner (18 people) here on a Friday night and it was very spacious to accommodate the group size. The food was very fresh with great presentation. The waitress was very nice and service was good. I would definitely come back. Although the price a little high the quality was very much matching. I would love to come back and try their Happy Hour some time. Cheers!"

"Barracuda was a restaurant I have enjoyed for years. I've celebrated family and friends' occasions ; and met up with friends for many epic Wednesdays. I've even successfully entertained finicky colleagues because the staff, service and the food was always consistently wonderful. From the sushi to grilled food, all we're artfully presented with all the right temperatures. I was a true advocate.
On my last visit, i have experienced a whole new restaurant with slow impersonable waiters, sad cold food from the kitchen(mash potatoes with ribeye looked like a mess and was served lukecold), & less than quality sashimi. I won't be back unless I hear of good change."

"For starters, I'm a sushi snob, so I'm quite picky. That said, I ordered all a la carte, and all sashimi, while my friends the prix fix for 6-8 people, which was a pretty good bargain. All of the food was better than acceptable -- meaning I liked it. No complaints at all.

Service was fine, but I appreciate a waiter that stops by once in while or at least looks over frequently so that I'm not craning my neck for five minutes to get a glass of wine. FWIW, the waiter was *HOT*...LOL...professional and friendly.

The space is pretty and the noise level is nice -- meaning not too loud but not dead either.

I chose this restaurant specifically because we were a group of 7 and I didn't want to hassle with a small venue. This worked out w"

"We arrived late to our reservation and the place was full, but within minutes, the host found us a table. Service was great and attentive. But the food was even better than we remembered. We selected at least eight different roles and each had a wonderful flavor on its own."

"Service spotty, we were overcharged on our check. When brought to the server's attention she shared the price had gone up but the menu hadn't been reprinted, but kindly showed us microprint on the back of the menu saying "prices subject to change without notice."
WTF? She took the overcharge off the check then shared we had to leave because we had stayed the allowed 90 minutes for their brunch bottomless mimosa.
