Nara

Nara is an excellent sushi restaurant providing quality fish. The happy hour menu from 5-7 provides a great value. Ordered the Tai, Sake, Hamachi and Hotate and the fish was flavorful and served in a hand rolls the fish portions were generous.

The happy hour menu and the unexpectedly large beers made us very content 🤪 Fresh seafood and interesting rolls. Though the seaweed were a bit soggy and made it difficult to bite things apart 😬

Delicious rolls and great service. Sushi chefs are friendly and skilled. They have uni from Hokkaido and Santa Barbara as well as great specials.

Came in here for lunch with a friend for nigiris, but wasn't aware that they didn't offer it during lunch. The server, though, was really patient and talked us through the menu on what we would like to order. Although we were a bit confused and disappointed that there weren't any nigiris, we were pretty convinced from the sushi choices that our server was presenting us. The rolls were packed with fresh fish and great flavors and we ended up loving it! I will have to come back for nigiris next time around dinner time. May have

Our first time here, and we loved it. It started to get hectic when we got there. They sat us immediately. We started off with chicken karaage. Fresh and crispy. Mostly meat and not a bunch of fried breading. Whatever the white dipping sauce was. It was delicious. We asked the waitress but she wasn't too sure. I had the Jessica Alba roll. I got it without sesame seeds. It had shrimp tempura inside and tobiko. Which in most places is a topping. They put it inside the sushi roll, and it still had that delicious pop and crunch. Had some cucumber in it as well. On top was delicious fresh white tuna or shiro maguro on the menu. Topped with eel sauce. When I say it was delicious. I mean, I ordered 2 for myself. It was that good. I did share a few pieces with 2 people who were sitting at the same table as us. They loved it. My partner had the hamachi kama with side order of sushi rice. Which I highly recommend together. It's a can soda type of place, so those refills cost more, but they do have happy hours and drink specials on alcohol. I love this place. Can't wait to come back to the bay to eat here again. Domo arigato gozaimashita.

Nara on Polk Street is a fantastic sushi spot! We went for an early dinner and enjoyed their happy hour from 5-7 PM. The hot sake was perfect for the chilly weather, and we loved all the sushi we tried. Our favorites were the Sake Bomb, which had amazing flavor and crispiness, and the Tres Tuna. The Loco Crunchy wasn’t our favorite—the crab was a bit too oily. The shrimp tempura hand roll was also delicious. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll definitely be back to try more rolls!

We had family visiting from Texas, and after a day of hiking, we were craving sushi in the city. We stumbled upon Nara Sushi, and it turned out to be perfect for our group of six, especially since many other spots were too small to accommodate us comfortably. We were thrilled to get a same-day reservation. The ambiance was modern, clean, and inviting. Our server, Jenny, was incredibly friendly and guided us through the menu, making sure we ordered the best dishes. The fish was so fresh—it really stood out. A special shoutout to Chef Kevin! His sashimi platter, topped with a delicious truffle sauce, was a game-changer. Definitely a must-try! To top it all off, we were celebrating one of the girl’s birthdays, and they surprised us with mochi ice cream, which made the evening even more memorable. And if you’re into sake, make sure to order the one with a whale on the label—it was excellent! Nara Sushi truly impressed our guests and made our trip extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great sushi in San Francisco!

Great service and amazing quality of sashimi! Really enjoyed all the cuts in the omakase that we got!

Thank you Yelpers for steering us to Nara! My hubs and I landed in SFO, took a Lyft to our hotel on Nob Hill, checked in, then walked just a few blocks to Nara. At 5:30pm, we received welcoming and friendly service during their Happy Hour which runs from 5-7pm. The place was clean and neat with low, calming lighting. We ordered the chicken karaage, agedashi tofu, sake kama, big boss roll, and foggy paradise roll. Everything was delicious and came out in a way that allowed us to enjoy every dish at a good, even pace. The chicken karaage was crisp and flavorful. The agedashi tofu was superb with lots of bonito flakes waving atop the fried tofu swimming in a wonderful, savory broth. The sake kama (salmon collar) was broiled nicely and came with a tasty yuzu soy dipping sauce. The big boss roll was full of salmon, bluefin tuna, hamachi, avocado, cucumber. But our favorite was the foggy paradise roll. Who would have thought that a roll with salmon, avocado, shiso leaf, and topped with yellowtail would taste so good?? It was simply *chef's kiss*! Hats off to the whole team at Nara. Thank you for a wonderful dinner on our first night's vacation in SF. We loved it. We will be back.

Went for happy hour! The food was very good and fresh however the happy hour menu is priced on the higher end. $7 per handroll and $5 for the fried chicken which was about half a plate/maybe about 5 small pieces. Overall the vibe is good, the service is good, but wouldn't go to happy hour expecting a good deal

Very casual and laid back sushi restaurant with creative rolls and a great nigiri tasting! I loved all the flavors in the chef's choice nigiri and the portions were huge for under $40. It was great value, but I do wish the fish was cut a little thinner as it was a little hard to eat in one bite! Some prices were also not as buttery as I usually like, but I think it's the type of fish served. Regardless, everything felt fresh and flavorful. We also got the cable car roll to share and it was pretty good too! The service was very efficient and attentive, and it wasn't crowded on a Tuesday late at night. We missed their happy hour so prices were more expensive ($60pp after tip) but we were quite satisfied after.

I'm a sucker for a good happy hour deal and $7 hand rolls are borderline still a good deal. We were a party of 5 and enjoyed the HH handrolls and the normal rolls a lot! With drinks and all, It was like $50 a person I think. The place was packed so do come early!

We were craving sushi and Nara popped up on our search. We decided to give it a try due to the good reviews. We should have done a little more research, especially since we had a couple of kids in our group. There were no teriyaki or noodle options so the kids had to settle for California rolls. I guess we're used to most sushi places having some form of kid friendly options but that's on us for not fully paying attention to the menu before going. The food was good! It definitely hit the spot for the adults. I find the appetizers to be a bit small in size for the price that they're charging though. The sushi we got was standard in size compared to other sushi places. The service was excellent: attentive, knowledgeable, and quick!

Lovely staff, pretty good sushi. Their signature rolls are all very good. I also appreciate that they are open a little later than most restaurants on Polk. I didn't feel that the spoon tasting set wasn't really worth it, as the quality wasn't exceptional and it wasn't very creative. While the service here was been consistently pleasant, there was one disappointing instance. I was told they were gonna do a last call and that I had 10 minutes to make any last decisions. Unfortunately, none of the waiters ever came back to take my order. When one finally returned, I was told that It was too late and the kitchen was finished for the night. If not for this instance, I would have left 4 stars. I do plan on coming back, but will stick to the rolls.

Great Happy hour sushi and wine. So good, it ended up being dinner. quite a few options (?10) of $5 "handrolls"--more of a big nagiri sushi. Excellent were the scallop, hamachi, salmon, the calif roll had lots of extra crab on top. Impressive happy hour wines for as little as $6/glass. Waitress was great. Great find close to my son's house. We will be back

Yumm the handrolls here r so fresh, simple, and well made! I got to sit at the bar and u can watch them make ur handrolls! There was no wait around 5:45pm on Sat. They have a mostly handroll happy hr going on from 5-7pm. They r $7-8 and fresh and delicious! I also enjoyed their hot Genmai Tea which comes with it's own metal tea filter so u can make it as strong or mild as u like. Service is great and would def recommend!!

The sushi at Nara are standard--nothing quite the exceptional but not bad either. The staff here are all extremely friendly. I will be cautious of waiting by the entry, as the door swings in and out both ways. I walked in last to have the door handle be swung right into my rib cage.

I've walked by here many times and finally got to stop in the other night. Such a cozy neighborhood sushi spot on Polk! Was bustling on a weekday night but luckily able to get seated immediately. They seem to take reservations as well, since the table next to us was being held for a reservation. For food, we started off with the chicken karaage and spoon tasting. The karaage was crispy and delicious, and the sauce that came with it was the perfect pairing. The spoon tasting was a creative and fun way to try different varieties and packed in a lot of flavor. We were going for a light dinner, so only got one order of rolls (the sake bomb.) Really nice crunch on the rolls and also very flavorful, but it did take a while to come out after the appetizers/small plates.

Great eats here! We came for lunch on a weekday and street parking was easy. There was no wait for a table, seems like there were many take out orders rather than dining in. Interior is nice and well appointed. Service was on point. Will be back! The happy hour menu looks fun!

I brought my niece here for lunch and we had a great experience. I ordered the Strawberry Black Tea and absolutely loved the flavor. It was so yummy. For lunch I ordered the Spicy Ocean Roll. I was surprised over the generous portion size. Thought it was difficult for me to navigate with chopsticks, the flavor was out of this world delicious. The texture was just right, the yummy rice and the soft salmon paired well with the avocado and remaining ingredients. My niece ordered the Shrimp Tempura Gimbap and of course we shared. I thought it had a great flavor as well. I have not ever had tempura within a sushi roll and enjoyed every bite. The service was good, our service was very friendly. The space is just lovely. I'm so happy we tried this place and I'll definitely return.

Chirashi was decent but points for presentation with all the pops of color. I love hamachi kama so there was no way that could have disappointed. Very generous amount of meat on this cut! Blazing glory roll was tasty but the whole wrapping it in foil and searing it on a flame at the table didn't do much of anything. Very pricy for the food you get, but the vibes/decor was nice

Beers and sake were good. We came during happy hour. Their chicken karaage was so good. Lightly battered and good dipping sauce to accompany it. Mushroom miso soup was probably the best I've ever had. Generic edamame. Takoball was really good! The bacon is a game changer! We order the kabocha order on the HH menu was disappointing. Usually I like hamachi Kama but this one was not as good. If came out pretty burnt. We ordered the big boss (hamachi, bluefin tuna, salmon, avocado, cucumber) (I liked this one). Loco crunchy roll (spicy tuna, mango, cucumber, fried soft shell crab,) (everyone loved this at our table). The sea gold without uni (with uni was $45). (Hamachi, avocado, cucumber, shiso, and black truffle-- melt in your mouth good). Sake bomb (salmon, avocado, cucumber, jalapeño, salmon,) this was also really good. Actually there wasn't a roll I didn't like, which is really rare for me The creme brûlée was good, slightly heavy.

Great option in the area for yummy sushi. The service was very kind and the prices were comparable to other SF sushi options. There is a daily happy hour from 5-7 pm with super affordable hand roll and alcohol options. The two rolls that we got were good, but not super mind blowing. It's cute inside and they were playing some nice jazz music. I definitely want to come back!

This is an amazing happy hour deal! Sushi and dishes, priced between $6 and $8, came with 1-2 pieces each but offered generous portions. The kaarage comes with a good serving size so ordering one of those was a good bang for my buck and filling option. You can also get a huge Sapporo beer for a great price. We made reservations for 6 PM on a Tuesday evening at 6 PM and were seated right away. For a weeknight, the restaurant was buzzing but not packed and service was quick and great. Would 100% come again for happy hour.

Fish is still amazing! I keep coming back after all these years and still loooooved it. The quality is still there, and I love that I get to try different kinds of fish. They do a great job showcasing the fish and letting it shine, nothing overly done, just real skill and respect for the ingredients. Yelp told me I wrote a review 5 years ago, and guess what? I'd still party with them.

I've been to Nara on Haight a few times and since Polk St is a bit closer, decided to give it a try! Definitely did not disappoint! All the dishes were similar and of course had to order the hamachi spoons & nigiri 10 pc omakase. Super worth the price! I always recommend my friends to go Nara if they're ever craving sushi

I came here with my friend to try out the happy hour, which includes appetizers (chicken karate and edamame), drinks, and hand rolls! The service was great as the servers were attentive. The ambiance was also nice, well decorated, though the tables were a bit on the closer side. As for the food, I got the hotate (scallop), tai (seared red snapper), and California hand rolls as well as the chicken karage and sake nigiri. I also got a glass of Prosecco on the side. Overall, definitely a 10/10 meal that I enjoyed! I would definitely also come back to try more items!

Happy hour every day from 5 PM to 7 PM! Very good hand rolls, but you can easily get carried away because they are so yummy! Service was very good and it helps to get there before 6 PM.

Really great ambience for a date night or meeting up with friends. As someone who works long hours and misses happy hour most of the time, I appreciate that they have extended times and even happy hour on the weekends! The sushi was very fresh and delicious. Each of the sashimi pieces were a very generous portion. Service was good and very friendly, and prices are reasonable. Would definitely come back for a date night!

The food was good and tasted fresh but nothing mind blowing or special compared to other sushi spots in the city. Good happy hour deals with excellent service! The ambiance was nice as they were playing music and there was plenty of seating.

A must-try for uni lovers! I love uni, and it's hard to find good quality uni--sometimes it has too much of a fishy smell or taste. But here, they really know what to get and where to get it. Highly recommend! I also loved all the sashimi we ordered, especially the tuna belly. I can't remember the name of the sake, but it paired fantastically with our sashimi. The service was excellent and very attentive, and the place was spotless, including the bathroom.

I would definitely recommend this sushi place! They have really good Yellowtail and Fatty Tuna. I would also recommend the Floral Train roll as well. The staff bring the food out really soon after you order too. There is also a nice, cozy vibe to it. They play lofi music in the background, and it's pretty dark inside. Would definitely recommend to Sushi Lovers.

Had the best experience dining here with friends. Came back from Japan recently and I've been craving for fresh and delicious sushi. ;) Such a treat to satisfied my cravings. The happy hour hand roll selections were delicious! Glad we made it, because regular menu only offer 2 hand roll options. Happy hour is between 5-7pm. Our waiter was quick and efficient! Definitely coming back! Let's get into what we ordered: - 5 Large Sapporo - 6 Hot Sake - Hand rolls: Hotate, Salmon, Hamachi, Shrimp - Tempura, California, & Unagi - Spoon Tasting: Salmon Toro, Kanpachi Carpaccio, Mr. Hokkaido, Seared Tai - Salmon Nigiri - Loco Crunchy - Sake bomb - Shrek Everything ordered was 5/5! Bon appetite!

Oh what can I say. I worked across the street and always walked by on my "lunch" walks since I like to see what restaurants are at around the neighborhood. I finally decided to try this place during happy hour and am confidently say that I'll be a returning customer First off, the fish selection is incredible. Kinmedai was my favorite fish for sashimi and it's in season at the moment AND THEY HAD IT! (Extra point for being at a reasonable price point without happy hour). I also tried new fish that id never had before :) Got to try their "spoons", which are sashimi with interesting flavors. Every bite unluck a new flavor pairing and super satisfying. This spot is a solid sushi place and would definitely come back for more!

Nara has been one of my go to sushi spots in SF. Priced fairly well and the fish has been yummy and so so so fresh. Their happy hour is definitely the best bang for your buck! You get hand rolls for $6-$8, hot sake for $5, and beers for $7! We enjoyed the hamachi truffle, the shrek, big boss roll, cable car roll & the sake bomb. Parking is street parking and can be tough if busy. We haven't had to wait to get seated. Definitely recommend and have been recommending this place to those who like sushi!

My boyfriend and I always have to find a good sushi place for our date nights. I haven't lived in SF for that long and our friend recommended Nara as his go to spot for a good sushi dinner. We're so happy we went here because the food was delicious!! We ordered everything we'd typically get at other sushi spots. Here are my ratings: Garlic and Parsley Edamame, 9/10 - I haven't seen this combination of seasonings on edamame before, and I think it perfectly complemented the rest of our food. Not too strong but not too plain. Was the perfect appetizer to get me hungry for our dinner. Loco Crunchy Roll, 8/10 - my boyfriend would probably rate this as a 10/10 but I liked the other roll a lot more haha :D the soft shell crab was yummy Flora Train Roll, 9/10 - yum yum this was super fresh and not spicy for me but I loved the color of the pepper garnish. Agedashi Tofu, 10/10 - we both agreed that this is the best Agedashi tofu we've ever had. We usually order this at izakayas or other sushi spots but we loved the size of the tofu since that meant more surface area for a crispy bite. Hamachi Truffle, 9/10 - bit the best hamachi truffle I've ever had. My go to spot back home has the #1 spot for me BUT this is a close second. Honestly I'm a sucker for anything with fried onion/shallot/garlic and jalapeños. The service was also good. Our server was nice and was prompt to help us order more food but didn't bother us too much since we were on a date. Will come again!

OMG??? Maybe there IS good sushi in SF!!! When I first moved to the Bay area I figured that a coastal city would have an abundant showcase of seafood and sushi and yet the sushi that I've had thus far has been sad, overpriced, and miniscule in portion! I'm sure if I went for omakase I would be presented with the most amazing cuts available on the west coast, even Aji Kiji, the affordable box version of Omakase, convinced me that if I laid down the money I could achieve fish heaven. Frankly speaking though, I feel that my favorite sushi experience is AYCE or humble, casual joints that have big cuts of nigiri or generously stuffed rolls for reasonable prices. It doesn't have to be the fanciest thing in the world! I just want the best bang for my buck! For better or for worse my benchmark is Sushi Taku in Chicago, the best AYCE sushi ever. For under $40 you can have as many of the thickest, most glorious cuts of salmon nigiri you want. It is incredibly challenging to beat that level of value and because I've experienced that high it's hard for me to imagine dropping cash on 3+ rolls and 4+ nigiri and 3+ hand rolls to measure up to fulfilling meal. My partner and I were looking for a dinner place after climbing at Benchmark on Van Ness and we saw that Nara had a happy hour deal for hand rolls. We haven't had huge success finding fairly priced and delicious sushi thus far and so our expectations were already middling. Nara completely blew us out of the water and after our first bite we were literally flabbergasted. The first thing that came out of our mouths was, "this is the best sushi place in SF." Obviously most people with a more refined palette would scoff at the idea of a casual sushi restaurant being the best sushi in SF, but here's the deal, Nara checked all the boxes for me. The fish tasted so fresh, the cuts were so generous, the rolls were absolutely stuffed, the menu had flair (I mean there is an appetizer literally called Shrek????), and the vibe was cozy and not stuffy at all. We started with the garlic edamame and it tasted like if BWW garlic Parmesan sauce was a dry rub on edamame. Each bean pod was salty, the parsley was bright, I was SLURPING AND SUCKING the favor off every single pod, it was that good. We also ordered the Shrek, a heaping pile of spicy tuna, crab, and shrimp tempura, all topped off with a dome of avocado. It tasted exactly how you would expect it to taste, and it was fantastic. We also ordered the big boss roll which was stuffed with three kinds of fish cucumber and avocado. Because there was so much fish the fish to rice ratio was PERFECT! Honestly the picture doesn't do it justice but there was so much salmon, tuna, and hamaci spilling out the sides!! Finally I think we got 9 handrollls in total, bc it was happy hour each hand roll was like $5-7 . Each one was cute and perfect, the flavor was absolutely satisfying and SO worth the happy hour deal! Will be BACK!!

The hamachi truffle appetizer here slaps. Get it. I've been to both Nara locations in SF and I've enjoyed both. The food quality is consistent across their locations. The portion sizes can be small though, so maybe don't expect to be full after. But the food is definitely, yum.

This is a charming "fusion sushi" restaurant. Excuse my ignorance if I got the genre wrong; but it's not like "traditional" sushi rolls. Super wonderful staff! Cannot say enough nice things about them. Open later than most places. One of our "go-to" places.

If this was a review for only the seaweed salad and the tres tuna roll it would be 5 star. Those 2 items were absolutely incredible. However, I found all of the other rolls to be a bit too overdone. We got the sake bomb roll and a few others and it almost felt like there were too many items / flavors to truly enjoy it. Don't get me wrong everything was good, but the value for the price you pay wasn't there for me. The ambiance is pretty cool overall though and the restaurant is in a premium location so that's probably why it is so expensive.

Great place! My boyfriend and I ordered a lot of sushi Togo and it was delicious. I enjoy their sushi options and especially note that the fresh wasabi is actual fresh wasabi. A lot of places usually say fresh wasabi but it's really frozen pickled wasabi. The only downside is their website doesn't update when things are out of stock so we a payment issue and had to reorder then wait a few days for a refund to take out the unavailable items which was a little tedious for a large order. The workers were very kind and helpful during this though!

Super fresh fish, great date spot, employees are all very kind and attentive. What more can you ask for?

My second time coming here and was seated immediately just like the first time. Came on weekdays for both so I cannot speak for the weekend crowd. A little pricier compared to other sushi restaurants but soooooo worth it. The sashimi and nigiri here are to die for, I've never had fish taste so clean, fresh and the texture is amazing. The slices are thick and full. The rolls are good, very unique but wasn't wowed by any. I'd suggest the nigiri instead. We got a nigiri special which included REAL wasabi which tasted nothing like its green imitation counterpart. It was delicious. Sake selection is plentiful. We had the Mu (recommended by our waitress) and Drunken Whale (our neighboring table generously shared their bottle with our table) , both of which were incredible tasty and smooth. I'd order the Drunken Whale again of the two.

I came here with a friend and we loved everything we ordered. We ordered a lot but my favorites were the app Hamachi Truffle, the Victoria Secret and Floral Train. I would love to come back again. The service was so kind and patient. It's a smaller place so I wouldn't say it's good for groups.

We got the hamachi truffle as an appetizer which was really good and refreshing. We also got the big boss roll (which was basic) and the jessica alba roll (yummy but could've used more eel sauce). The prices can rack up here. This place is intimate and cozy, we were one of the last few people there before closing and the servers were very attentive.

Super nice and inviting staff. I just feel like the Happy Hour isn't even worth it. Only offer hand rolls and it's 1 per order and they aren't cheap at all. Flavor wise it really wasn't for me. The hand rolls were decent, but sushi I really wasn't a fan. Really wanted to like this place.

I have now been to this place about 10 different times and wow it never disappoints. The staff is so kind every time I walk in and always have a great attitude. The happy hour hot sake is honestly one of my favorites that I've had. I've recently been getting some hand rolls and the fish is so fresh I may just have to keep it going. The one thing you absolutely must get if you come is the hamachi truffle spoons, I'm not giving any other information than that. You'll have to try it to find out just how good it is. My favorite rolls are the sake bomb roll and the floral train. They both have a totally different flavor complexity so you get the best of both worlds. I leave this place in a better mood every time.

I think I just found my new fave spot! We got the 14 piece omakase along with some others that we wanted to try and it was all so delicious. The fish was so fresh and the presentation was so nice. We arrived 6:30pm on Saturday and it was around the time it started getting packed. The service was great the entire time and they were always checking in on us. I can't wait to come back here and try more items on the menu! Highly recommend!

We (2) were able to walk in and the restaurant was very chattering. Service was good We started with Agadeshi tofu since there surprisingly a lot more variation between Japanese spots than I would have thought. The tofu pieces are small but also medium firm, the skin held on while biting through and was overall good. We ordered a shrek, because they have clearly mastered the art of marketing, I thought it was a roll but it was a giant avocado ball, inside was everything else. Not enough swamp in this dish but that's fine, it still tasted good. The rolls we picked were quite varied. The big boss roll was a bit short but very girthy, the fish pieces were large and it's really the inside that counts, right? Short kings rise up Other roll which I forget was well flavoured and the fish was quality was decent Overall a great place to eat!

Food was delicious! Great date night stop. My boyfriend and I visited on a Monday night and sat in front of the chefs. It wasn't overwhelmingly busy either. Servers were very attentive with taking our orders and taking away empty plates. The chefs were very kind, asking us if we enjoyed our food. One of the chefs (he seemed like the head chef) offered us a complimentary spoon tasting and insisted that it tastes good with the wine we ordered (it did!) We ordered multiple orders of chu-toro, o-toro, sake, and sake-toro. Fish was super fresh. We ordered takoyaki, chicken karaage, and edamame for appetizers. All delicious.

Amazing service here! The food is also really good! Not pictured is the Hamachi truffle, which is amazing! We got the eight piece omakase set, super good but some pieces had a ton of wasabi in it.

The sushi here is great but not a stand out in comparison to other restaurants in the city. Hamachi Truffle was the best tasting dish here, very fresh and clean tasting fish served on a on bite spoonful to take in the flavors. The Nigiri 7 piece set was good, but wish there was less rice underneath so the fish can stand out. The uni was very soft and melts in your mouth, was hoping to try the Santa Barbara Uni but they were out of order on that night. Also ordered the agedashi tofu and the spicy chicken Karrage, which were just okay too. Service is standard. A casual neighborhood sushi spot by Polk St. in downtown, but nothing too special in my opinion.

One of my favorite casual yet polished sushi spots in the city! Great prices on handrolls and nigiri, delicious sake selection and super friendly neighborhood style service. Fish is always super fresh, I always get some sake nigiri. Their spicy tuna is also excellent, usually get spicy tuna or spicy salmon handrolls. I didn't take a picture but the negihama roll is also a favorite of mine. They have some of the most delicious spicy mayo here, definitely order it on the side! And the spicy chicken karage is SOOO good! That sauce and the crunch to meat ratio is perfect. Also get the mochi! Really soft and flavorful Love this place, I go every few weeks. Gem on Polk street with good prices for very good quality food.

Favorite sushi spot in San Francisco. Sake hand roll on the happy hour menu is amazing. As is their menu. Staff is amazing and food comes fast. Couldn't recommend more.

Decided to try this place after seeing the ratings on yelp. Unfortunately, I wish I could give them a better rating but the sushi rolls here were not good. Bf & I ordered the hamachi truffle, Jessica Alba, and Sake Bomb roll. The hamachi appetizer came out first and that was actually good so we were excited for the sushi rolls. They didn't even bring out the rolls together. The first roll that came out was Sake Bomb. We didn't like it and were hoping the second roll would be better. They brought it out after we finished with the first one; service was kinda slow. We were disappointed when it wasn't good as well. We expected the rolls to be just as good as the hamachi truffle but it just didn't hit the spot. It was underwhelming and basic. Not sure why this place has so many high reviews. We left disappointed. With so many other restaurants in the city, we could've easily spent the $100 elsewhere for a more satisfying meal and service.

Hidden gem on Polk Street! All of the dishes we ordered were amazing and the fish quality was very fresh. The food came out relatively quickly and the service was decent. The highlight of our meal was the ginger creme brûlée! If you haven't had this before -- a must try! The restaurant is a nice place for date night but runs on the smaller side. It's probably not the best choice for large groups or I'd recommended coming earlier to snag a table. Overall, would come again!

Nice casual spot for sushi in the city! We came early and they had happy hour with delicious hand rolls which were really good. My favorite was the sake and hotate handrolls. They also have a really good selection of fish. The toro, chu toro was one of my favorites as it was so fresh and melts in your mouth. They also have specials with fish from Japan fish market.
