    We love trying different omakase in S.F., and this one was particularly excellent—interesting, unexpected, delicious. We had the nigiri omakase option, and the fish was excellent, on par with other high end sushi restaurants in S.F. But what really stood out were the vegetarian courses in the meal. Each was perfectly prepared, with subtle yet complex flavors. Every small dish was exquisite and completely different. The food was beautifully presented and the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. It was a cold night, and the waiter brought us fresh mugs of steaming green tea again and again. Even the tea was particularly high quality and well prepared—flavorful with no bitterness. Of the many Japanese restaurants we have tried in S.F. and elsewhere outside of Japan, this one seemed wonderfully authentic. Reminded us of meals at minshukus in Japan with so many little dishes, each a delight. Will definitely return.

    Great neighborhood sushi spot. Unpretentious and warm service. Fish was incredibly fresh and impeccably prepared. Best authentic sushi experience I’ve had in SF. Lots of care taken with every part of the meal. Very legit. Highly recommend.

    The restaurant, service, and food were all phenomenal - and I don’t use that word lightly. We were greeted by name and had the chefs omakase dinner with a sake flight. The restaurant was lovely and intimate, service was friendly and attentive. This was quite simply the best meal my partner or I have ever had. Such an enjoyable experience.

    We had made an outdoor seating reservation but it was so cold that they accommodated us in the semi-private room in the back, all by ourselves! We had the 9-piece nigiri omakaze; food was delicate, inventive and flavorful. It was a lovely Christmas Eve dinner that we will treasure for some time to come.

    Service was fantastic, sushi was great, but the tsutsumi which is served on a nori sheet, is a tad overpowering, the nori tends to take away from the taste of the sushi, other than that, it was awesome!

    Fine dining quality of food, service and attention to detail at a very reasonable price point. Food was excellent and very authentic Japanese - and, we left completely full! The service was impeccable; every dish in the tasting menu was timed perfectly and well explained by the server; they also have the small attention details such as regular refills of our hot tea before we were finished. Gorgeous, clean, and modern interior. Only “downside” is that the location is in the heart of the Mission where finding (safe) parking is challenging and the noise level from nearby bars is quite loud on the weekend.
