Sushi, handrolls, and appetizers like miso eggplant
"This place has been in the Inner Sunset for over forty years, and is still packed with people for straightforward rolls, nigiri, and handrolls, and superb appetizers, like miso-glazed eggplant and agedashi tofu. Things at this casual spot also run smoothly: Even though Ebisu is loud and the tables are somewhat cramped, the service is quick and the people running it are always checking in on you. Post up at the sushi counter where things feel less chaotic, stick to the rolls, and pay extra attention to the specials on the board, like half-shell oysters." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong

"The family-owned Sunset District standby has been fueling the neighborhood with bento boxes, donburi, and, of course, sushi for some 30-plus years. These days it’s open for lunch and dinner Sunday through Wednesday and if you opt to dine in, count on seeing a steady flow of diners picking up online orders of generous sashimi platters and rolls." - Eater Staff

"Ebisu doesn’t take reservations, but the wait is never as long as the always crowded San Tung around the corner, which makes it an easy option for a last-minute date or a dinner with a few friends. The sushi here is all great and affordable - get the $28 sashimi omakase for two or the 49er roll with salmon, fish roe, avocado, lemon, and shiso. If you want something hot, we always start with the Pink Cadillac, which is a grilled salmon filet wrapped around scallops." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
