The 19 Best Sushi Restaurants In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Midway through a meal at The Shota in FiDi, the chef will pull out a detachable plastic model of a fish. Off will come the head, then the belly, and suddenly you'll find yourself in the midst of a delightful tuna anatomy course you won't want to end—just like the rest of dinner. From a cushy white bar seat, you’ll be treated to a luxurious 15 courses: an uni “sandwich” with caviar, handrolls, and blowtorched golden-eye snapper flown in by jet from Japan. And despite being a splurge ($300), you should still confidently book a table for dinner—this is one you'll be thinking about long after it’s over." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
