"Ebiko is part of the city’s takeout sushi wave, and it’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The weekday-only counter-service spot is a simple operation: get in line, pick from the pre-boxed nigiri and rolls, and pay (though we encourage first perusing the Japanese snack shelves). Their omakase box comes with a set of seven nigiri, and at $16.99 apiece, it’s one of the best fresh fish deals you can get in SF." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"Ebiko got its start in Oakland as a modest to-go sushi spot on Piedmont Avenue, but now the restaurant has leaped across the bridge with a new location in SoMa. Expect the same high-quality product as the original at wallet-friendly prices. There are rolls and nigiri available, but also some fun add-ons such as agedashi tofu or the mini uni don, a tiny bowl of rice with a pristine piece of uni on top and salmon roe." - Eater Staff
"The San Francisco location of Oakland takeout sushi spot Ebiko is finally here, serving pristine boxes of sushi to go. It’s part of a burgeoning takeout sushi moment here in the city, featuring sashimi, rolls, and more for under $20. Go with the omakase nigiri to get a sampling of the wares or a plate of inari (marinated tofu skin). Add on a Daifuku red bean mochi for dessert." - Dianne de Guzman
"It’s not easy to find sushi in SoMa, particularly if you'd rather not fork over $300 for an omakase. But with Ebiko in the neighborhood, there's a more affordable grab-and-go option where you can get a couple of rolls for less than $20. Like its original Oakland location, the SoMa spot’s set-up is simple. Just choose whatever you want from the refrigerated display case and be on your way (snag a bag or two of the Japanese rice crackers while you're at it). Ebiko mostly does to-go boxes filled with single-serving maki and nigiri. If you see the seven-piece omakase set or the salmon aburi, get them before anyone else can. The fish tastes fresh and the salmon is tender with a smoky char. For the risk-averse, order ahead online and check in with the staff when you get there." - Patrick Wong
"Ebiko joins Aji Kiji as another option for takeout sushi in the city. The popular Oakland sushi spot has opened up an outpost in FiDi right by Salesforce Tower. Expect boxes of maki, sashimi, and nigiri that you can order online or pick from whatever’s in the refrigerated display case when you arrive. There are also a couple of shelves stocked full of Japanese rice crackers and candies." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
