"The rich, flavorful broths at this warm, light-filled Japanese spot can go toe-to-toe with San Francisco’s best, as can the top-notch sushi. Soup-wise, we love the black garlic tonkotsu and the spicy miso ramen. The beautifully presented sushi rolls and sashimi are perfect anytime, but if you stop by for lunch, get the generously portioned $21 chirashi bowl, which comes with salad and miso soup, or the sushi lunch special—an excellent deal of a roll plus several large pieces of sashimi for just $25." - gabi moskowitz, patrick wong
