Truly a remarkable experience with such a welcoming family-like atmosphere. I first came here traveling on business. Then came back 3 days later. After a year away from the area I came back and it was like I never left. They even remembered. Then, the sushi. Whoa! What an amazing unique offering and not to mention such crazy taste adventure. So so so good!!! Service is absolutely above and beyond cannot recommend more!

Came here after doing the hot cold plunge nearby! Good: - Cute ambiance, and clean interior - The miso soup was incredibly tasty and seaweed salad was fresh too - The sushi rolls were tasty - I liked the dragon roll the best, the tempura was crunchy and the buddhilicious was good too! Not as good as dragon though - The amount of food you get for the cost is good. Bad: - Took a while for our sushi to get to us (20-30 min wait) so it felt a little long - The staff don't check in too often with us Overall it was a decent sushi experience, not sure that I'd come again.

For our 6th wedding anniversary, we made the trip all the way from Sacramento to celebrate at our favorite sushi spot, Fishmandu--and it was absolutely worth it! Chef Buddhi went above and beyond, creating special sushi masterpieces just for us. Each roll was crafted with precision, bursting with fresh flavors, and beautifully presented. The menu is incredible, but the new creations are a must-try! Watching the torch-seared sushi being prepared added a whole new level of flavor and experience. Beyond the food, the team at Fishmandu is filled with genuinely great people who make every guest feel welcome. If you're in San Francisco--or even hours away like us--Fishmandu is worth the trip! Exceptional sushi, warm hospitality, and an unforgettable dining experience.

Their sushi and sashimi are great and their prices are great also. The owner and his wife are such a pleasure to have serve you. This place you must try. Very clean too.

Fishmandu Sushi offers a pleasant dining experience with a few notable highlights and some room for improvement. The ambiance is quite enjoyable, with a relaxed atmosphere and no loud music, making it an excellent spot for a calm meal. The waiter was very nice and attentive, which added to the positive experience. The sushi itself is good, though the fish in the sushi rolls is a bit thin. While this might be a minor drawback for some, the quality and freshness of the fish are good. One thing to note is that the selection of sushi rolls is somewhat limited. However, they make up for this with a wide variety of sashimi and nigiri options, which are plentiful and well-prepared. Overall, Fishmandu Sushi is a solid choice for sushi lovers, especially if you enjoy sashimi and nigiri in a quiet and pleasant setting.

I had high expectations for this place after reading the reviews. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I found the quality of fish to be okay. The rolls were tasty but nothing amazing. Service was a little slow but the servers were very polite and attentive. The tuna tataki was delicious!

The food was absolutely incredible! Very light and full of flavor. We got a lot of rolls that had the perfect size. We had walked around all day and my friend needed a phone charger, so they even helped us out with that! Our waitress was so sweet and knowledgeable. Amazing place!

Decided to grab some takeout before the new years and have always walked by here. It is a cute neighborhood restaurant with ~6 tables inside. Everything was really good and when I went to pick up my food the music in the restaurant was great. Everything was well packaged and fresh!

The restaurant is small, intimate, and unassuming. We sat at the bar and the owners were very warm and inviting. We ordered 2 rolls which were very fresh and unique! I appreciated that the rolls weren't masked in sauces, and unique pairings of fresh ingredients got to speak for themselves. Sexy Me Roll - it was a limited-time/special menu item! The tuna and jalapeño combo worked well! I quite enjoyed the kick and the sweet sauce they paired with it. Sunshine Roll - I've never had a roll with lemon (including the peel) on it. It definitely had a citrusy, refreshing yet slightly bitter profile to it, which was really different in a good way (if you're into that). My only nit is that the fish slices were on the thinner side. I would've liked more fish to rice ratio.

A friend loved this place and thought I would too. I did not. The best thing I had was the hamachi kama. I did not like how they prepared the rice in each of the rolls. It was just a very sticky/mushy consistency which I really disliked. The staff were friendly and nice but I would not recommend or go back.

Really yummy, creative, and affordable sushi rolls at this charming little spot. If I lived nearby, I'd come here monthly probably. The favorites were their signature rolls - the Buddhalicious, the FireCracker, and the Sunshine roll. Loved how much shiso leaf was incorporated into the dishes and their nigiri was delicious too. We ordered too much, in fact, but couldn't help ourselves. 5 stars!!!!!

AMAZING FOOD WE NEVER ATE BETTER SUSHI the service was amazing ! For only being one chief he had all of our groups food ready at a reasonable time

tl;dr: this is becoming one of my favorite sushi places in SF. Great sushi made by a great chef Value: (5) as far as sushi goes in the city, you can't beat these prices with most rolls being less than $10. There are a few rolls that are typical SF prices, but be sure to try at least one; they're worth it Quality: (5) I've been here twice so far and everything I've had has tasted amazing. The chef puts an interesting twist on old classics and uses the freshest local ingredients Service: (5) the size of the restaurant prevents it from drawing too high of a capacity and allows the staff to provide great service

Fantastic little place. The owner was kind and attentive, and the restaurant had a chill vibe. The decor was pleasant. I had the rainbow roll, miso soup, and yellowtail nigiri. They were fresh and delicious. The yellowtail was delicate and flavorful. The presentation was great, too. I'm just visiting San Francisco, but I hope more people try this place. (By the way, the owners have at least a decade of experience with Japanese cuisine, and it shows.)

I ordered individual nigiri sushi, their hamachi toro and halibut were amazing, and the others were excellent. I also had their miso soup which was also very good.

https://youtu.be/M07iT6LCqQg This family run business is amazing!!! The sushi's were so fresh and also the sashimi... Everything was so fresh!!! This is a hidden gem.... The service and the hospitality is SUPERB!!!!! Check out my channel on YouTube "That One Dish" to see what you should get at this amazing place

My Nepali friend and I ate dinner here, and we sat at the sushi bar, where we had super fresh and delicious sushi while having delightful conversation with the owner! Definitely will come back here again!

Excellent food! We'd definitely go again. We even found parking just in front on the street.

This is a hidden sushi gem! Incredible owners and perfect service! Can't wait for next time!

This place was unexpectedly awesome! It's such a tiny, random little place, but wow, was it impressive! Our server was amazing. We took her recommendations and ordered almost everything she suggested. It took a little while to get the food, but we weren't in a hurry, and the food was SO worth the wait. This was definitely some of the most creative and delicious sushi I've ever had.

Incredible! So happy we stopped by today -- easily some of the best sushi we've had in SF and very reasonably priced. Incredibly friendly husband and wife duo who provide incredible service and even better quality food! Beautiful interior and friendly atmosphere. Can't recommend highly enough -- take a chance and stop by here!!!

** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** The Tenderloin isn't the first place my mind goes to for sushi. Pho yes, sashimi no. I was also wondering where the name came from, and then I found out the sushi chef and owners are from Nepal. Their story is on their website, and they came to the 'Loin by way of Half Moon Bay. That was quite a culture shock, I'm sure, but then again, the 'Loin has several culinary jewels in the rough, and I'm happy to report this is one of them. I must've been in a hardcore sashimi mood because I first ordered the $8.99 Rainbow Poke which sounded good with diced salmon, maguro, and hamachi mixed with seaweed, sesame oil, and sesame seeds (photo: https://bit.ly/3i4jZgB). It looked good, too, as it turned out to be a fresh-tasting appetizer that got me prepared for its big brother, the $20.99 Chirashi Don which continued with the same troika of salmon, maguro, and hamachi but in thicker slices. Mackerel and eel were added to the mix along with slices of cucumber, ginger, and takuan, all over sushi rice (photo: https://bit.ly/2R4JbIM). I was delighted to be swimming with the fishes this time, and it came with a cup of warm miso soup to chase it all down (photo: https://bit.ly/3yTmPLE). With all that fish going down my gullet, I decided I should have the $2.49 Edamame just to have some semblance of a vegetable (photo: https://bit.ly/3i4jZgB). Fishmandu isn't close to Kathmandu, but good sashimi is hard to beat no matter who prepares it. FOOD - 5 stars...fresh sashimi offered here in different formats AMBIANCE - 4 stars...it's a nice little spot in a very urban 'hood SERVICE - 4.5 stars...quite friendly TOTAL - 5 stars...Nepal meets Japan and culinary detente was achieved. RELATED - Hanging in the 'Loin? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2NIQ0tw

fishmandu is one of my favorite spots in the city! It's cute and small, and while located on the edge of the tenderloin, very accessible in a safe/crowded area. I've gone here a few times since my first time there a few weeks ago and I've loved it each time. The sushi is very fresh, creative, and delicious. I highly recommend the sunshine roll - the lemon on top is something I never knew I needed on my sushi! The prices are very affordable, and the service is fast and friendly. 10/10 would recommend that you check it out!

absolutely delicious sushi served by very friendly staff. had the chef's choice nigiri combo. Well worth the upgrade.

What an absolutely wonderful charming place! This place is WONDERFUL - the sushi is absolutely incredible and very tasty! The sushi here is authentic, and after each plate, we just wanted to order more and more. My husband and I had a wonderful time chatting with the very friendly owner/chef and his lovely wife! We will definitely be coming back here again! A MUST TRY SUSHI PLACE!! :)

totally worth the trip to Tenderloin to eat at this amazing sushi place. husband and wife team, service is fantastic and the specialty rolls are imaginative and delicious! we loved the Buddhilicious and Sunshine rolls and shared a nigiri plate. space is small but they take reservations. service was super friendly and prompt can't wait to return!

My mom was craving sushi, but it was kind of a weird time of day. We were too late for lunch, too early for dinner, and many places were closed. I found Fishmandu on Yelp and we trekked over. We ended up being the only people in there due to the timing of our arrival, which was especially nice since we had all been being so careful with COVID. They could not have been any nicer to us. The owners, the chef and his wife (who was our server), both went out of their way to be friendly and kind. As I've found so often in San Francisco, it's the people that make this city my very favorite in the world. As we were wrapping up, a man came in who knew the owner. They chatted for a minute, and they obviously hadn't seen each other since before the start of the pandemic. We overheard the owner tell the man they hadn't taken a single dollar in PPP money, they just didn't pay themselves for over a year, and were finally back in a better position. The tenacity of small business owners never ceases to amaze me. It was a tough day for my family and me, in town to be at my brother's bedside. We were seeking a bit of normalcy, and some nourishment. From the warm miso soup to the perfect rolls and sashimi, everything we had was exactly what we needed. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared and presented.

This neighborhood gem is amazing! My friends kept coming here without me but finally I made it and it was worth the wait! Husband and wife invite you to a meal like you are in into their home. Fresh fish, great quality, great people, and a good vibe.

Absolutely delicious! The food here is incredible & the service is amazing. The fish tastes really fresh and is prepared properly. The ambiance is great - restaurant is cute and clean. We took our order to-go and they packaged up everything we needed. Will be coming back!

Great sushi place will extremely fresh fish. The presentation was excellent. The sushi chef was friendly and very professional. Another place to put on my list of favorites

For the price point and freshness, this place is a steal. I don't eat fish, so I only order the vegetarian rolls and shrimp nigiri at most places. Fishmandu had both sweet and regular shrimp nigiri, so I tried both. The price for their shrimp nigiri is fair, and with the sweet shrimp version, you get the fried head. It's almost as tasty as Kuma's on Polk and Post, but it's more affordable so it's definitely great value for the freshness. The regular shrimp nigiri was slightly cheaper than the sweet shrimp, but it had a nice flavour of shrimp. I think the sweet shrimp version has more nuance with the sweetness, soy sauce, and the popping tobiko, but I'd still reorder the regular one too. The futomaki roll has egg, burdock root, shiitake mushroom, and cucumber. I really enjoy this vegetarian roll, but I wish they would put a bit more mushroom in there! With COVID, it's just delivery and pick-up, but the workers are very nice and there's hand sanitizer provided when you pay. I've already eaten here twice, and I cannot wait to go back!

Bhuddilicious roll good. Creamy. Sunshine roll. Good with lemon. Seared albacore tataki. Good Blue fin tuna nigiri. Good Albacore nigiri. Good Good service

Ordered delivery thinking about sushi on my 1hr commute home today. The disappointment once I received my food was almost to much to bear. Not kidding... ugh. Food was delivered in a timely manner. I opened my delivery to see a pathetic excuse for sushi. It was 47.00 for the smallest portions I've ever received from other Japanese restaurants. Roll had 4 maybe 5 thimble pieces. Edges of sashimi were discolored and above room temp. Miso soup was watered down. I absolutely did not eat it in fear of getting sick. Why on earth does this place have so many stars. Do not recommend this restaurant not at all.

We had an amazing meal here! It's a family-owned business run with love. The sushi was fresh and delicious and the service was kind and helpful. We would definitely come back!

Sushi was fire! Service was fire! A wonderful secret Jem! MUST TRY! They really take their time with it

0 stars if I could. There are many other good sushi spots in the area (on Polk for instance). Firstly, interior is dark and dingy. I ordered takeout so I wasn't aware. Secondly, the prices on the website are outdated. It's one thing to have outdated prices, another to not tell your customer their order total on the phone till they are picking up then surprising them. 15% hike on all prices & a bowl of rice was $3.50... absolutely absurd. I called to rectify after reviewing my itemized receipt and was hung up on. Manager said "I haven't gotten around to it" and blamed me for not checking. Finally, the portion size was atrocious (barely any crab in the California rolls) BUT even worse, the fish was not fresh in the slightest. You know how you turn over pieces of salmon and the back is brown? My rainbow poke salad had that issue. I didn't realize the pieces were not fresh since they purposefully placed the fresh side face up until later on but now regret eating it.

The best sushi I've had in a while!! So fresh, tasty and very affordable! The presentation is beautiful. The service was above and beyond. The chef/owner and his wife really made the experience. Very friendly and attentive. If you're eating alone.. sit at the bar and get to know the chef! Very glad I did and took his recommendation to order the Sexy Me roll. It was delicious!!! Honestly one of the best meals of my life and will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area! I honestly think about this meal weekly and wish I could re-live this meal often haha If you're in San Francisco this is a MUST stop on your trip for delicious sushi! Truly a hidden gem and love to support local small businesses!! The place is small so if you're in a large group probably best to call prior and make reservations.

My wife and I were visiting SF from Las Vegas and after trying different sushi restaurants, I finally found a good one . Chef Buddhi is amazing if you don't see the roll in the menu but you see it on YELP let him know and he'll prepare it for you.

Reviewing Delivery: Super solid, damn fine, hits the spot, just what you're probably looking for in sushi delivery. I have a quibble too tiny to take off a star- their single serving miso comes in a shallow tub begging to be spilled. Because I was sick in bed mine went all over my lap and I can't say whether it was any good. But the fish- Gorgeous buttery mackerel, well thought-out rolls, spot-on inari. Go for it. Edit: I forgot to add! They don't use soy sauce packets. Yay reduced packaging. Even their wasabi comes wrapped in a peeled carrot. I very like.

This's my first time here. And I like everything I ordered, especially Hotate and Sweet Shrimps. Service is good our waitress she's so nice. So I recommend this place.

Very fresh and warm quiet place to eat. Was pleasantly surprised by my spicy tuna roll which had sliced (not smooshed) tuna and was actually spicy!

This place hit the spot! Was visiting SF and wanted to pick up sushi to eat at the park. The ordering process was smooth, and the staff ensured my order was accurate and ready for pickup - and was super sweet! Prices are very fair and doesn't skimp on quality of fish. Definitely recommended!

It is a family-owned local restaurant. Cozy and quiet. The sushi, the staff, and the atmosphere are all amazing. You all should definitely try it out!

Great family owned fresh sushi restauraunt. Food was fantastic, fresh, and affordable. We were able to talk to the chef and watch him make the sushi. Would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to or living in San Francisco!

SUSHIIIIIII in the Tenderloin. It's got some cheaper items and some expensive. I got the avocado roll as a snack for around $5 because I WANT CHEAP SUSHI BECAUSE SUSHI IS A STREET FOOD. In the Tenderloin they have some secret restaurants that u don't find unless u stroll or hear it from ME. Fishmandu sushi because sushi is so cute and actually healthy and filling. JAPANESE or something or American Asian Fusion. U are lying that u had avocado roll. I was around the Tenderloin and decided to have a snack. sushiiiii

This place is sooo good. The fish is fresh. The chef is innovative and makes new combinations. I drive from the coast to San Francisco because it's worth it

Chef and crew are so friendly and nice!! Ordered about 5 rolls. Everything was fresh and amazing. Great presentation, as well!! If I had to choose favorites, I'd say Big eye tuna, sunshine roll and Buddhilicious!! 10 stars!!

Wow! We ordered: Fried chicken wings: Super crispy and juicy. This came with Buffalo sauce and it really complimented it well. California roll: Don't hate cause I'm basic and like California rolls. This actually came with real Dungeness crab. It was really good and definitely an improvement from the really basic California rolls elsewhere. Rainbow sashimi plate: Fresh, Fresh, Fresh. Almost melts in your mouth. My favorite was the salmon and apparently they prepare it a different way, so it doesn't taste fishy. Would definitely order again. Dragon roll: Tempura was crispy, typical dragon roll but it was delish. Buddhilicious: Our absolute favorite. We wanted to try this cause it was the most mentioned on Yelp. It did not disappoint. It was fresh and it's the chef's own creation. This one is a must!!!! Overall, friendly staff and fresh food. Highly recommend. That's saying a lot cause I'm a good snob.

Food was excellent. Chef came and personally told us of specials. Cute environment. Would recommend trying!
