The Best Places to Eat and Drink in the Upper Haight | Eater SF

"Ginza fills the neighborhood’s need for sushi. The space feels fun and modern (though the jury is still out on the TV that’s often showing sports) and the fish and produce are delivered every morning, which means everything tastes bright and fresh. Portions err on the smaller size, but that just means you have room to try more dishes." - Paolo Bicchieri

We came late on a Friday night and there was no wait. The service was really good and the waitress patiently explained each dish to us and recommended the mystery box. We ended up ordering that and two variations of their tempura tacos, spicy salmon and spicy tuna. All of the food was incredible and the fish was super fresh and really well prepared. Definitely coming back next time.

Our party of 5 was seated immediately. Orders came fast. We enjoyed all the food that we ordered. Our children who live in SF recommended the place to us. It's one of their favorite sushi places.

First time here with friends and it’s my favorite spot so far. Food was delicious and great flavors. We got kara-age chicken, the Ginza rolls, Usuzukuri salmon, Gyu steak , Spicy marugo salad, Mystery box and Fried vanilla ball for dessert. All dishes was excellent. I loved sashimi with good quality and so fresh. Best sushi place in the area and we will definitely be back.

This place had become my favorite Japanese Restaurant in SF. All the fish are so fresh everything was so gooooood and try the mystery box we loved it. The salad was really refreshing. I think the steak was just ok though.

A high three star like 3.8, but I believe a bit overpriced for alright quality. Atmosphere was very good, and we sat at the bar. Many staff members welcomed us in once we stepped through the door. The gyu steak was underwhelming for us, and we did not have a choice in the rareness of the steak. It was very well done, but we prefer something medium rare. The salmon sashimi was my favorite and reminded me of certain ceviche I’ve had but with an asian twist with the wakame and sesame. Blue fin tataki was alright but my preference would be to sear the fish less cooked with a hotter sear so only the outside gets cooked. Still a solid meal with friendly staff and nice ambiance. I don’t see myself visiting a lot but it hit my sushi craving!

Small, unassuming sushi joint with fun dramatic Japanese paintings on the wall. Beautiful food presentation! We had the recommended rolls: Ginza, Keiryo, Umi. We also had the Kazan roll. Agedashi tofu, garlic edamame, fried squid and Japanese curry. Everything was wonderful! Highly recommend. Service was a bit slow: there was only one server and they were busy, but it was good service, none the less.

Absolutely one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had in San Francisco! Ginza flies in their fish straight from Tokyo’s Tsukiji and Toyosu markets, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. We had the Signature Edit menu and loved everything — the thin-sliced Hamachi with ponzu truffle was so delicate, the weekly-changing sushi and sashimi platter was beautiful and full of variety, and the Tsukiji Fish Sampler let us try amazing seasonal catches. The Scallop Udon Soup was warm and comforting, and the Bara Roll with soy-marinated bluefin tuna was the perfect ending. Not only was the food incredible, but the service was warm and attentive. If you love sushi or just want a special night out, this place is a must. 🍣✨

I have come here four times in the past month and it's so delicious. I really love their surf and turf roll and they have the best chocolate lava cake I've ever had. A must in SF!!!

I've been here a couple times and apparently I never wrote a review! Lol I honestly love the freshness of this sushi as well as the sashimi!! Everything was incredibly clean and we were seated rather quickly and I was also surprised this place is open until 10 PM almost every night!! I will definitely be getting takeout more often!! Perfect little spot to have a date night, great cocktails, and eclectic combos of rolls!! They also have some TVs by the bar, and I loved their lychee sake cocktail! I can't wait to try another cocktail!!

Came here with my girlfriend at around 6:30 pm on a Friday, wasn't really that packed but it started getting pretty full, they closed off a section of the restaurant so there aren't that many tables unless you come earlier. We were sat pretty quickly. The place is pretty dark but they light a candle for you to see, it is in the Haight district so there is street parking with meters but it is free after 6pm. We got 2 drinks to start off, lychee tini, pretty sweet and it tasted so good, the umeshu however was pretty sour but if you like sour drinks I would recommend. I love lychee so that was really good for me, so we ordered another one. The ginza mystery box was so amazing, it is chefs choice and the selection was amazing. The edamame was pretty good, the gyoza was also very good. We also got dessert, pretty decent. Overall, this place is solid and if you want a little surprise mystery box or like an omakase experience without paying that price it will be good.

Believe me, it gives me no pleasure to identify a one-star experience because this is only the 40th time I've done it out of 7,654 reviews over twenty years of Yelping. In other words, I don't hand out one-star reviews lightly. I came here in search of a simple lunch at a spot I never tried before. They offer a $25 flat rate for either three select items or a choice from their Cut & Crafted section. I was happy to see Chirashi as one of the latter options, even though it was oddly misspelled 'Chirachi' on the menu. Regardless, $25 for a chirashi bowl struck me as quite a deal. It came with miso soup and a rather ambitious box of nori. The soup was OK, but the 'chirachi' was abysmal. First, the serving size was sparse for a supposed lunch entree. It consisted of five flimsy fish slices over not a bowl of rice but scarcely a cup. Second, it was arguable how fresh the fish was, but the mix of fish was inarguably weak: one slice of salmon, three slices of tuna, two slices of an unrecognizable whitefish, and an inordinate amount of roe (Photo 10). If the chirashi was designed to match up the discounted price point, then they failed at the execution because it was unlike any chirashi bowl I had ever seen. I couldn't eat the whitefish and left most of the rice. I didn't even touch the nori because it served no purpose other than exacerbate the utter failure of the dish. I can't speak to the rest of the menu which despite my doubts, might be good. However, this review is specifically about my experience, and all I suggest is avoiding the so-called 'Chirachi' (sic). FOOD - 1 star...likely the worst rendition of chirashi I've had...and I've had it a lot AMBIANCE - 3 stars...fairly spacious dining area though limited at lunch SERVICE - 3 stars...the server was adequate but.. TOTAL - 1 star...that 'chirachi' was something I won't forget soon...even though I wish I could RELATED - Exploring the Haight?

I liked the uni, agedashi tofu, and the kazan roll the best. The other 2 rolls I got as well as the scallop nigiri was ok and negitoro nigiri was underwhelming. Service here took forever though even when they weren't busy.

Stopped by for some sushi for lunch and Ginza Sushi was nearby so it seemed like the perfect choice. There was no wait and my party of 6 was seated right away. It is a nice quiet place with quick service. Once we got our orders in, it did not take the food long to arrive. I ordered the roll that was recommended to me by the staff, and I kid you not, it was by far the BEST single roll I have ever had. Rolls range between $17-25, and I only got one roll. If I ever have a special celebration, I will come to Ginza Sushi as it was quite tasty, just a little bit on the pricey end.

I've liked most of the items ordered here. It's more of a fusion type place and they were kind enough to not add some of the sauces on the roll when I asked. The plating is pretty and there's a good amount of interesting options here. I do wish they had more traditional rolls though. My absolute favorite was the butter scallops. I couldn't stop eating it. It had the right amount of garlic and butter. The scallops and asparagus were cooked well.

We recently indulged in the tasting experience at Ginza Sushi & Sake, and it was nothing short of exceptional--a beautifully curated journey through seasonal seafood, delicate textures, and thoughtful pairings that left us completely satisfied, yet wanting more! Karaage Chicken The meal kicked off with their karaage chicken--perfectly crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside. It had just the right touch of garlic, and the accompanying sauce balanced the richness without overpowering the flavor. A comforting, familiar, and flavorful start. Mystery Box: Chef's Premium Nigiri & Sushi This was the star of the lunch. Each piece felt like a surprise gem--rare seasonal fish, handpicked with precision, and expertly crafted into artful nigiri. The cuts were buttery and fresh, each one slightly different in texture and temperature. It was a true expression of the chef's skill and sourcing! Super Salmon Tartare The super salmon tartare was a standout. Creamy yet bright, layered with seared salmon toro, bursts of salmon roe, crisp nori, and sushi rice. The balance of richness and acidity made this dish incredibly satisfying and easy to devour. This was such a great and fun experience to assembly your own sushi handroll too! Scallop Udon Soup Comfort in a bowl. The broth was deep and flavorful--umami-packed with shoyu, wakame, and green onions. The scallops were soft, sweet, and paired perfectly with the springy udon. A subtle and soulful interlude. Tempura Prawn Lightly battered, golden perfection. The prawns were plump and juicy with a delicate crunch. Dipping them into the warm broth added a cozy, savory touch. Ginza Roll This roll was an explosion of flavors: yellowtail, cucumber, and kaiware, topped with seared yellowtail, avocado, jalapeño, spicy aioli, and squid ink tobiko. Each bite had richness, spice, and texture--from the smoky seared top to the pop of tobiko. A bold and layered dish that really showed off Ginza's creativity. Dessert The finale was a light, refreshing dessert. It tied everything together without being overly sweet--an elegant way to end a rich meal. Overall, this was a beautifully orchestrated tasting menu that showcased technique, premium ingredients, and seasonal expression. The chef clearly takes pride in every detail. If you're looking for an upscale sushi experience in San Francisco without the formality of omakase, Ginza Sushi & Sake is a hidden gem worth savoring. Would we come back? Absolutely--especially to see what's in the next Mystery Box!

After walking the Golden Gate Bridge, we were hungry for sushi. I searched for a nearby location and found this spot near Golden Gate Park. We were happy to find a sushi spot open on a Monday with lunch hours. We scored a metered spot directly in front. A cute spot that can be tight seating wise if every table is taken. The one server did a great job working the tables. We ordered the Nigirii tasting for $29.99 off the special menu, which included seven kinds of chef selected nigiri. We also ordered two Unagi Sushi and a lychee iced tea. I definitely appreciated the accommodations made for my dietary restrictions. Everything was fresh and delicious! We decided to add miso soup which was good, but could have used a bit more tofu and seaweed. Overall, a great lunch!

Came here for lunch on a weekend craving sushi. Loved that they had veggie sushi options for my husband. The place is pretty big inside with plenty o tables and seating. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Ginza roll which came with seared yellowtail, avocado, and jalapeno. Each bite had crunch from the fresh jalapeño and you could taste the spicy aioli on top. I also got the Umi roll which I highly recommend if you enjoy scallops. The roll comes with baked hokkaido scallops, crab, avocado, and a parmesan cream sauce. Each bite was creamy and melted in my mouth. I wanna come back just for this roll. My husband got the Jiyugaoka Roll which came with yam tempura, and cucumber wrapped with mango. I tried a piece and was amazed by the flavors. You could taste the mango but it paired wonderfully with the yam. He also got the Kyoto Roll which he devoured and didn't share haha. This is a great spot for sushi and the prices aren't too bad. We will def be back to try more rolls.

Quick Summary; - Affordable omakase - Fresh and sweet fish - Entered hungry, left content and happy - Located in Haight and close to Golden Gate Park - Indoor seating only Family began the search to find a nice restaurant to celebrate an early Mother's Day. As we leaned onto sushi, that is located in a street where there are dozens of shops to walk and browse around, the search landed on this restaurant. Decided on this one, we headed out in the early afternoon. Inside, there are plenty of tables and chairs to sit down. When the staff noticed us, she gestured that we can sit anywhere, so we took a seat in the middle of the restaurant. Inside, even in the afternoon, the only source of light is from the entrance and the long windows. It's on the dark side, especially with the walls painted black with some mural art colored in a blend of white, red, and black. Once we sat down, the staff came by with several menu cards. We didn't take too long to choose because the first one, which was the omakase kaiseki. What we didn't expect was this was going to be a 6-course serving style, and overall, this turned out to be a very good eating experience and a fitting style to celebrate and share gratitude to Mom. The first course is the dashimaki egg. This is cooked in Tokyo style, where it leans more on the sweet rather than a savory dish. The sweetness is much lighter than pancakes and cakes, but since I'm used to eating tamagoyaki in the savory style, it could come out as a surprise. This egg was wrapped a cluster of sushi rice, so it balanced the egg's sweetness with the vinegar sprinkled sushi rice. Second course was my favorite (I'm a fan of yellowtail). It was a hamachi sashimi with jalapeño slice with a dollop of yuzu, gently placed on top of a cloud of daikon raddish and greens. The hamachi was melting in the mouth soft and also sweet! It tasted like it was freshly caught and immediately placed on the platter. The radish gave a refreshing crunch as I ate this with the hamachi slices. In each plate there were seaweed clusters, and these were so good. I've never eaten seaweed in these colors and textures before, so that was a new experience. Third course was the miso soup. In this soup, it contained clams and large pieces of seaweed. Very delicious, and as the staff mentioned, this was a good palette cleanser. None of the clams I had contained sand, so that was a positive outcome from me too. Fourth and fifth course were the nigiri sushi. Each plate contained 3 nigiri of different fish. When we visited the fish in the fourth course were the king salmon in yuzu jelly, hirame, and kurodai. In the fifth course, the fish were tuna (ootoro and chuutoro, and the sea urchin). Used to not be a fan of sea urchin, but after eating this one, I like it now. The texture is of a high-end good fish with a nice tough but squishy texture. My favorite in the fourth course was the kurodai, and the chutoro with salmon roe in the fifth. Lastly, the sixth course was the dessert and we got a bowl of green tea ice cream with shirotama mochi spheres and a round dollop of red bean paste. Delicious and it was just right of sweetness. I thought the pacing of how the food was served was good, and we had good moments of chatting in between. Overall, it was a fantastic way to celebrate Mother's Day and will be on my list of places to eat to enjoy a good sushi experience.

The appetizers were decant but everything else we ordered really was not good. Sushi/sashimi were not fresh. Some pieces was fishy. Not worth the money. Worst rib-eye curry rice. The steak was tough and and curry was cold. The sushi roll is not tasty at all. Small and not filling. Ambient was ok. The base of their music was so loud and annoying I was so irritated to enjoy the meal. Service was good and attentive but over experience of the food was terrible.

We came in today for lunch. The waiter just started to work, so it took him a while to come to check in with us. We ordered Toro sashimi and two lunch boxes. The sashimis is a miss. It's so thin and does not have the taste of Toro. I have toro in Japan, China, and Hawaii, and it just is not it. The lunch boxes are great on the other hand. Both tacos and rice bowl are tasty. The rolls are generous on the salmon. The soup was average. It would be nice to give the soup one time to refill. People like me just really like soups. Overall, people can skip the Toro I guess and try some other stuff. The place is simple and on the cold color side. The chefs here are nice. They make eye contact and check in as well.

Love me some fish and these rolls were fire. First thing I noticed with my first bite was how the cucumber was prepared. They cut it finely and add a literal bunch rather than a chunk - such a satisfying texture. Both rolls had their own flavors, the Daburu with a hint of lemon. Everything was great and the server was so sweet. He was managing all of the tables on his own and didn't let it show. I mentioned a ginger allergy and he communicated with the cooks, catching that one of the rolls I ordered had fish in a ginger marinade. Wish I caught his name! 9/10 - would try again

Honestly if you order to go the food was good. Service was terrible though! We showed up at 4:30 and there was only one server for the whole restaurant, so not sure if the night shift was better staffed. But our server seemed like they didn't want to be there. When we asked questions we couldn't understand the words coming out of their mouth because they were speaking so low. The dishes were all dirty. I had to send back multiple plates and soy sauce dishes because they were disgusting! They were dirty on the inside and out. But again food was solid. Not the best sushi I've had but a solid option. But again service wasn't good. I eventually had to get up and track down a server just to be able to pay my tab. We were definitely neglected. I saw people come in, get seated, then walk out before the server ever spoke to them. Kinda gives you an idea of what this experience was like.

Beautiful hole in the wall sushi place that if you blink you just may miss it and I hope you don't. Wonderful ambiance to set the mood and plenty of seating for a solo dinner, friends, or date night there's a lot to love here besides the food. Speaking of food, the recommendation of the self named Ginza roll had a beautiful look and taste with a nice balance of spice that will want you going in for more. I also went for the classic miso soup (cant go wrong), skirt steak oroshi for an appetizer and a VERY refreshing Yuzu lemonade. Service is quick, kind, knowledgeable, and very kind to recommend whats best. I don't come to this corner of SF often but im glad i made it today.

Tried Ginza on a whim as we were in the area looking for a good sushi spot and saw positive reviews on Yelp. The vibe was vibin' with warm wood and a killer wall mural, set off by candle votives dancing table to table. Oily was great on service and tended to any need our table had. Notable selections were Spicy Negi Toro, Garlic Butter Scallops, and T.A.T.S. (the best deep fried jalapeno app I've ever had and I order this at every sushi place we go to). Great food. Happy bellies. Thanks, Ginza!

The Haight is not what I remember from my youth, I had a moment where I wasn't sure if I was on the right street! It looks more like Noe Valley than ever! The interior is simple, the menu is cute on a clipboard and has explicit gf labels. The fish was fresh and delicious! We ordered chirashi and every toro on the menu. I loved that chirashi came with nori sheets to make hand rolls, genius! The nigiri presentation was gorgeous with fish roe and gold flakes! And a couple nigiri came with fresh wasabi too. I only wish I could have ordered fresh wasabi as a side! Get the yuzu lemonade too!

Came here on a Friday around 6:30 there was no wait to get seated the ambiance was nice it was dark inside but I liked it. The drinks were so good I recommend the lycheetini it was so yummy. Me and my gf got the mystery box we had to wait a while for it. But it was so worth it. Everything was so fresh and mixed perfectly perfect amount for 2 people! Definitely would come back.

Ginza is sooo delish! We ordered the Ginza roll and the Garlic Butter Scallops entree. The Ginza roll was unique and not something we've had before! I like that the cucumbers were on top of the roll rather than embedded into the rolls. The roll also had squid ink tobiko which was also a nice touch! The yellowtail was so fresh and worked so well with all the other ingredients! The Garlic Butter Scallops were cooked so perfectly and it came with rice (+ asparagus, enoki mushroom and tomatoes) and miso soup. The garlic flavoring in the rice was soooo good! I'm glad it wasn't just plain white rice and it actually had some flavor! The garlic was also not overpowering! Service was quick and staff was very pleasant! The establishment was a bit dim and had a nice date night ambience to it! Would definitely recommend stopping by when you get a chance!

We had takeout twice from here. It's good neighborhood sushi, and easy to place an order on the phone or the website. The seaweed salad had a lot of lettuce on the bottom, which isn't my favorite, but that's okay. :) I very much enjoyed my veggie rolls.

I've done to Ginza quite a few times over the years and it's always been great. I stopped by last week to celebrate a birthday and they really treated us like royalty. The servers were so nice and patient with us. We got the Ginza roll (highly recommend), toro tasting (DELICIOUS) and quite a few others but those were the standouts!

Fucking AWESOME! We were greeted so kindly upon entering the restaurant and the wonderful service did not stop there. We sat at the sushi bar and the chefs were so cool to watch and so very friendly! Happy to answer any questions we had and happy to offer recommendations Our hostess Cassie was so sweet and such a delight to be served by. Cassie offered great recommendations and gave us an idea of the portion sizes so we could eat and not overly stuff ourselves! All around great experience and the food was YUMMY YUMMY! Ordered: -The gyoza and they were crisp and flavorful! Super tasty!! -The wakame is seriously some of the best and freshest I've ever had. -The nigiri tasting and I was BLOWN away. Like literally left burn marks in my seat. The chef picked some of the most tender, fresh and flavorful fish I've come across in a LONG while! They were beautifully plated and I savored EVERY FRIGGIN BITE!!! Also, IDK about you, but I have walked past Ginza so many times on my way to get drinks in the Haight! Can I tell you I am SO HAPPY I finally went in! Ginza is going to be the first stop anytime Im in the Haight! total tastebud treat :)

My experience at this restaurant was poor. There was only one waiter for the evening shift. I ordered sashimi and waited over 40 minutes for my order. Clearly, the waiter forgot to send my order because everyone else was getting their food except my table. When I asked the waiter about my order, he told me the owner was there and asked if I wanted to speak to her, in a threatening tone. I feel they were racist because we were the only Latinos in the restaurant. These are difficult times for my Latino community.

I called ahead for a booking but walked in to only 3 tables full at 7pm on a Sunday. However, by 730 it was FULL! We arrived off a tip off from social media that the Mystery box was amazing and it did not disappoint! A box each (6 mini bowls) and two starters were enough to fill us up Agedashi tofu here was sublime, truly a warming moment to have the tofu melt in our mouths and the skin stay intact, great sauce The Mystery box definitely had good quality fish. Tuna was melt in your mouth, salmon was buttery and rich, the toro and salmon belly were PHENOMENAL (you should end with this one or you are just playing yourself). Also in the set are a scallop chirashi and fish egg chirashi, both brought a variety of flavours and textures in such small bites. Highly recommend. There are many seats in here and also they were playing by some football on the TV, so it is definitely a bit noisy here. Unless you get the box, eating those pieces really drowns out the noise as you focus on the bowls!

Quality sushi place in Haight and Ashbury! Fish was very fresh and it came out quickly. The salmon sashimi was impressive as it came in pretty thick slices and tasted very fresh. The rolls were made well but were unevenly separated as some of the pieces were quite large and others felt like a half bite. Otherwise we were pretty happy with our meal, nothing too extravagant just good quality fish at normal SF prices.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ginza Sushi and Sake with a couple friends. We were seated fairly quickly despite being a group of 8. I got the Kaiju Roll and shared two Umi Rolls, both of which were superb. I highly recommend trying both of them. If you're looking for a solid sushi spot with a great variety of menu items, Ginza is a solid spot!

Really liked this place! The specials were super tasty, and the hot sake had a nice little kick. Decor was cute and a bit romantic great spot to unwind and get away for a bit. It wasn't too crowded either, which made our experience even better. Definitely planning to come back and try more of their specials!

The service was really great, our server Cassie was really attentive and great with our table. The food was great, the salmon sashimi was really fresh and the rolls were really creative and tasty. As far as ambiance it's really lively, with tables being a little close to each other and a large TV playing football overhead.

The food here is very good, the sashimi is extremely fresh as well. We got the chirashi bowl and the nigiri sampler and both were delicious. The chirashi bowl had good portions and a good fish to rice ratio. The nigiri platter had toro and uni which both were splendid! The servers here were attentive and nice. They got us our waters when we needed, and would come up to see how we were doing.

Wow, fantastic spot! My father in law loves sushi and lives in the Panhandle area; he says he has finally found his go-to sushi spot. THE WAIT None on a Saturday at noon for 5 of us. This was St. Patty's Day. THE COST $121.68 for 4 rolls, 1 starter, and 1 noodle soup. Enough food for 3 adults and 2 toddlers. THE FOOD * Tomodashi Tartare ($17.99) - 4.5 stars Very fatty, fresh salmon. Simple but excellent ingredients. We ran out of chips and got free refills too. * Scallop Udon Soup ($19.99) - 4 stars * Kazan Rolls ($15.99) - 4 stars Again great ingredients. This was a very creamy, slightly sweet, tasty roll. * Umi Roll ($15.99) - 5 stars This was so good we ordered two. I don't usually love warm rolls, or ones with cooked items, but somehow the baked scallop and parmesan cream sauce work magic together. * Tekka Maki ($8.99) - 3.5 stars This was fine, ordered just for the kids

Highly recommended sushi spot in the Haight. Ordered their chef recommended steak appetizer with a yuzu sauce, salmon sashimi, and a spicy roll filled with crab, tuna and wrapped with scallop. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Definitely try the steak appetizer, worth it to go just for that! Prices are also reasonable and the ambience is cozy and nice!

Ginza has a great variety of vegetarian sushi! I tried the izanami and the Kyoto rolls and thought they were both great. I enjoyed the Kyoto roll more, but would recommend any vegetarian to try either of these rolls! I thought the izanami was unique with being rolled in a pink soy paper. I will say we did have to wait a while to be serviced and also receive our food, but hopefully that is just a one off thing. Overall cute ambiance as well! Will definitely be back to try some more vegetarian roles.

This is one of my friend's go-to sushi spots, and I can see why! The location is super convenient, and both the sushi and service are consistently good. I tried both the sushi and meat dishes, and they were quite enjoyable. The ambiance is calm and laid-back, making it a nice place to unwind. Overall, it's a solid choice for quick and reliable Japanese food when I'm in the area.

After taking my first bite I wanted to stand up and start clapping. I got the edamame, miso soup, and rib eye kate rice.

Ginza Sushi is located in Haights Asbury along the main street. Since I was already in the area, I was craving sushi so decided to stop by. Overall, I was impressed and had a great experience. Inside is spacious with plenty of seating for any size party. There was a pretty mural alongside the wall. They offer a selection of unique elevated sushi rolls. It is on the pricer side but it is quality and well crafted. When I came, I decided to try the chef special and signature roll. Their Ebi roll ($16.95) comes with shrimp tempura, cucumber, avacado topped with snow crab meat, crunch, and hboney spice sauce. Their UMI roll ($15.99) is baked hokkaido scallops, crab, avacado, parmesan cream sauce. The UMI roll especially impressed me with the flavor and how well the parmesan melted in my mouth with the bite. Service is so friendly and checks up that I am having a good experience. They offered me a miso soup on the house and gave an extra bite of sushi. Total came out to around $35 before tip. Excited to come here again and have someone try it with me!

I'm not sure what happened but I came back during lunch time and got their Lunch Sushi & Lunch Roll combo; both were not fresh and discolored. Service was still good but just the food was extremely mid.

Went for HH, sushi was decent quality and solid but nothing super noteworthy. Karaage was not great to me, it was a little dry and stringy rather than the thick and juicy pieces. Hamachi Kama was really good, there was a lot of flesh on the bone and tasted quite nice. We tried several of the rolls; fish quality was pretty decent and they had a good amount of options on the HH. Pretty good deal during happy hour and I'd go back to try some of the other rolls.
