    We came in early for a pre opera meal. Tried out a few recommended items by our waiter. Really appreciated the guidance as we were debating which items to try. All the sushi and the chip appetizer was delicious. Definitely coming back for more

    Maybe need more experience with this very ala cart restaurant. They were not able to Change or meet simple accomdatioms. Service was ok but very busy so felt staff was working top speed hoping to get their job done not a relaxing atmosphere

    One of the most delicious and creative sushi and sashimi restaurants in San Francisco, using fresh and flavorful fish from the U.S., Japan, Norway and New Zealand. It also offers creative mix drinks and a decent selection of sake. Attentive and friendly service. Located two blocks from Davies Symphony Hall.

    I would have given a more positive rating were it not for my being up in the middle of the night with a bad case of indigestion.
