First time dining here. The food was just ok, nothing special at all. The service was terrible and it took almost 2 hours to get in and out because of the slow service. Cleanliness of the restaurant was also not that great. Had to ask for a new menu because I got a pile of greasy rice in my lap when I opened mine 😟

The service was pretty terrible and the restaurant was almost empty. It seemed as though our party of three had multiple servers. We would ask for water from one, get checked on 10 minutes later by another server, still wondering where the water is-- this happened in several forms throughout our dinning experience. We did not receive the type of sushi we ordered but they brought something, so we decided just to eat it. Half of the sashimi seemed like it was thawing out from a frozen state. I would recommend that even if you are in the mood for sushi and this place is close to change what you are in the mood for or go somewhere else.

YamaSho is a Japanese Karaoke hot spot. We go there mainly for the good Japanese food, but the Karaoke clientele is charming and entertaining, and always friendly. Service is great, and it is on our hot list of great places to eat when we visit SF.

I held my birthday dinner here. We were looking to sake bomb and enjoy some sushi. The place was a little empty so that was a problem since we got a little loud. It was still pretty early and no one was really karaoke-ing yet, which was a bummer. Good food, fairly priced, close to other bars.. I enjoyed the experience.
