BUBU

I dined at BUBU with a group of friends and it was an incredible experience. The energy of the restaurant is unpretentious, with a hole-in-the-wall look right next to Mollies Market. We were able to comfortably fit a group of 7 for an awesome dining experience. To start, we orderd tempura and it was amazing. I haven’t had brussel sprouts/mushrooms for tempura and was pleasantly surprised. I would’ve loved if we had some of the standard tempuras though, sweet potato, carrot, broccoli, etc. But was still so yummy! I must also say the cripsy rice was DIVINE! I hve no idea how they did this. The rice was pillow-y and the fish was so fresh. For mains we ordered the house sushi boat for the table and devoured everything. Tempura Udon came with a whole bowl of noodles PLUS another tempura bowl. OMG. For $15 it is such a steal! The happy hour times are also awesome. We would definitely come back here to order everything off the menu. Thank you BUBU! We will be back.

I love Bubu! Same owner as great Izakaya skewer spot around the corner Nono. Bubu is the best new neighborhood spot in Pac Heights - cute hole in the wall / unpretentious vibes and reasonable prices with really good quality. I enjoy sushi often (ranging from pricier Robin and Juni, to more low key spots) and Bubu is now one of my top favs in the city. The rolls, nigiri and omakase are great, and it's worth checking out their happy hour deals (4:30-5:30 and 8:30-9:30pm.... note that last call to order is around 9/9:15pm). HH deals ft. handrolls (2 for $5) and the "crispy Bubu" spice tuna or spicy hibachi on crispy rice. Don't sleep on the chicken gyoza dumplings. Our fav server Jason is always friendly and accommodating -- we sit outside with the pup and he brings water for her. Can't say enough great things about Bubu! So glad they're in the neighborhood! Spread the word - we want new small businesses to thrive again

I had high expectation of this place. Turned out it was just mediocre sushi restaurant you can find everywhere. My stomach felt so bad after eating here. First of all, their omakase sashimi (20pcs) is like you can get it for $50 instead of $68. Menu stated it comes with Hokkaido Uni, and it didnt. When I told them where is uni, they brought it on the side dish lol and it tasted “santa barbara uni” (no offense for Santa Barbara) not HOKKAIDO. I know how Hokkaido uni taste, quality hokkaido uni doesn’t taste fishy at all. If it was Hokkaido uni, they better change their supplier or something. They shouldn’t do business like a joke. If the owner wants customer’s money, they need to be transparent and honesty 100%. How can they just didn’t bring Uni which was stated in Oamakase sashimi and pretend like we wouldn’t figure it out? Also how can they just bring shitty uni instead of Hokkaido uni? This is a joke. NEVER AGAIN HERE.

Came for Sunday lunch. Nice Bento box lunch specials with decent portion sizes for a very reasonable price by SF standards. Nice decor and music that’s not too loud. Attentive service in a cozy space. Would recommend for an affordable and solid meal if you’re on Fillmore.

Really happy to have found this place. The sushi was very delicious and melted in my mouth. The rainbow roll was amazing, 7 different fish and each one was incredible!

Killer happy hour, amazing food, lightning fast service and a fun, cozy space. I will definitely be back!

I walked by and found this place. The Omakase sashimi is great. Fish is very fresh. I think $35 for 10 pec is a great value for this high quality. I saw some pepole ordered Omakase nigiri, which looks so amazing. I am gonna try that next time.

I recently dined at happy hour period and had an incredible experience! The food was not only delicious but also reasonably priced. Moreover, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. I highly recommend this sushi spot to anyone looking for a satisfying meal with outstanding service. I'll definitely be returning soon.
