Tataki Sushi and Sake Bar

I tried this place outside of their happy hour and left fully satisfied. I made a reservation through Yelp, but there was plenty of space on a Sunday night. We ordered rolls: Green Flash (my fav), Kraken, Tataki, and Spicy Tofuna. We enjoyed all of them, appreciating the unique combinations of flavors and nice presentation. The food arrived promptly, and the waitstaff were always attentive, ensuring our drinks were refilled. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would definitely visit again when I'm in this neighborhood.

Happy hour is amazing! Great prices on nigiri, rolls, and drinks until 6:30pm. We also ordered seafood sonomono which was HUGE!!! Great prices for everything. The best part is all their seafood is sustainably sourced.

I am shocked. The sushi here truly blew my mind. The double double roll and the spicy crunchy tuna are incredible, and truly just as good as some of the rolls I’ve gotten at the highest end sushi places. The happy hour deal is amazing and cheap for such good food. The vegetable gyoza was also exceptional. Amazing execution for a great price. This is a must try!

Incredible, absolutely amazing. They even made sure I understood the substitute crab had some crab mixed in just in case I had an allergy. And the California roll is exceptional. Definitely worth it, even better on happy hour

Went for the happy hour and it was yummy! Honestly, not a huge price difference between happy hour and non happy hour pricing (avg $1 difference), so don't feel the need to rush down. Edamame was surprisingly spicy, scallops were yummy but the tuna nigiri was disappointing and tasted fishy. My favorite was the extinguisher roll (not part of the happy hour), but it came with fire and was very yummy!! Great thing about this place is that their menu has gluten free options labelled out and their soy sauce is gluten free too!

Had a great time here! Delicious sushi rolls and small plates. Cute atmosphere + friendly service. Would recommend!

Very solid happy hour here! Got a Yelp reservation for 5 pm and was quite happy getting seated immediately and having fast service. Good: Everything is basically just $5. What a steal. We got hot sake and the margarita drinks which were really good then ordered a ton of sushi. Like almost every sushi they had and each was presented great. I especially liked the crunchy California and the sweet potato tempura. Service here is so fast! Orders basically pop out after you put in the order. Bad: Really the only bad thing was that the happy menu items were limited, which was expected, and the food wasn’t so good that it blew my mind. So I would come again for the reasonable prices!

Pretty good quality sushi and they had some unique rolls. Our order took quite a while to come to our table though (over 45 min) and the restaurant was not overly busy. Inside, It’s a bit small quarters, but cute.

One of the BEST happy hour deals in SF! I believe HH is DAILY from 430-630pm. Tataki is one of the few places that actually offers good deals unlike other places where food or drinks are only $1-2 off the original price. Tataki isn't stingy with their deals! You can get raw sushi, rolls, appetizers, and beer/sangria/cocktails are $6.I think their hand rolls taste amazing and it's only $4!. I'm not vegetarian but it's nice to see they have a bunch of options for those who are. Restaurant is clean and simple inside. Service is nice - can't complain. I recommend going early because it fills up quick. Can't recommend Tataki enough.

Came here with a friend for happy hour a little after 5pm. We were sat immediately by the hostess. We ordered exclusive off the happy hour meal and I think it was a good deal for the price! Oh and they provided complementary green tea at the end of our meal. Despite being a relatively large space the place was very busy and if your party is more than 2, I recommend considering a reservation.

Solid sushi spot, but nothing to rave about. Happy hour is a great deal given the reduced prices! Personal favorites are the Islander roll, agedashi tofu, and nasu agebitashi

Always come in for the happy hour deals with friends, and it's so reliable both in food quality and getting a spot. Easy to make a reservation ahead of time if you have a larger group but if it's a smaller size on a weekday, you can sometimes just walk in too Have tried all rolls from the happy hour but my fav is the arctic char roll, which is similar to a salmon avocado roll.

Ironically, I was so excited to try Tataki because of pictures on Yelp, pictures almost identical to the two I've posted. The Goma Ae looked like such an interesting take on the standard dish, and I was eager to try the Nasu Agebitashi that seemed to prepare the eggplant and zucchini more like sushi. Sadly the appeal of the food was skin deep. Both items were utterly bland with nothing more to their credit than being presented beautifully. The Goma Ae suffered from lack of the sesame sauce that makes that appetizer a winner elsewhere. Both items made me question why I had left my own kitchen to pay for boiled vegetables. The service was also spotty and we were left waiting to place our order and receive the bill until we went out of our way to track someone down. Plus; our respective meals came out with around 10 minutes in between.

I saw that Tataki had a great happy hour according to TikTok and came here with some colleagues on a Friday. The venue is sizable, but we were unfortunately seated 30 minutes after our reservation. I got the calamari and two rolls (iirc arctic char and spicy tuna avocado). The spicy tuna had a hint of gochujang which caught me off guard (I'm used to more of a sriracha flavor in sushi). Nevertheless TikTok didn't lie and the value is unmatched here.

My boyfriend and I have tried to come for happy hour twice now and both times we were unsuccessful in getting seated before 6:30pm. I highly recommend making a reservation if you are trying to do happy hour, it has been packed every time we've gone from 4:30-6:30pm, even in the middle of the week. They have it every day and it's a good deal. I'll have to take my own advice and make a reservation next time lol. By 7pm, the restaurant was pretty empty after the happy hour rush. Service was nice, everyone was attentive and nice and the music was a good background level of chill house and wasn't obnoxiously loud pop like many other places. The meal started off on a good vibe. We started with miso soup and tempura. The soup had a nice miso flavor, but I wish there was more tofu and seaweed. The pieces of daikon in there were interesting, I've never had miso soup from a sushi restaurant with that in there. The tempura was really good, and I liked the option of the tempura sauce and seasoned salt to flavor the pieces. My boyfriend and I liked the sweet potato and eggplant pieces the most. The shrimp was also slightly different than expected, with a crispy panko crust instead of the standard tempura coating. I liked this change as it stayed crispy as we ate the rest of the tempura first! For sushi, we ordered the golden state roll and the deluxe 12 piece nigiri tasting. The roll came out first, and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It was super unique with the matchsticks of apple included in the inside of the roll. The spicy scallop was sooo good and I loved the lightly seared albacore on top. The yuzu tobiko added a nice citrus flavor that went well with the apple and contrasted with the spice from the scallop. It was such an inventive roll and made me want to explore more of their menu. The deluxe 12 piece tasting was a feast for the eyes and mouth! It was presented so beautifully, and I was ready to dig in. Every piece of fish was delicious, with my boyfriend and I loving the scallop, amaebi, hamachi, and saba. There were more that I didn't know the name of, but they were all so fresh, with a good balance with lighter and leaner fishes and heavier buttery cuts. The rice and fish portions are definitely on the smaller side, but I still appreciated how fresh and expertly prepared each piece of nigiri was. I was pleasantly surprised by this meal, everything was really good, with a slight twist on what you might expect from a neighborhood sushi spot. I can't wait to come back for happy hour and to try out more of their menu!

This is my second time coming here for happy hour and it didn't disappoint! Came here with a couple of friends and the service was very friendly and efficient. The food also came out really quick and tasted good! My favorites were the iwana nigiri, the crunchy California (I prefer the hand roll), and the nasu agebitashi. Great spot to meet up friends and eat good food!

I recently tried this sushi spot and was pleasantly surprised. Despite visiting during rush hour, it wasn't crowded or noisy, which was nice. The ambiance was average but cozy, and the waiters were attentive. Now, onto the sushi. It was good overall, with decent portions of fish and rice. The flavors were on point, especially with their tasty sauces. I tried a few rolls, and the Double-double was my favorite. Considering the quality, the bill of around $70 wasn't bad at all. In summary, it's a great spot for sushi lovers, with good food, cozy vibes, and attentive service.

Probably only come during happy hour for the vegetarian tempura sushi roll. Logistics: -accepts cc -takes reservations by phone -limited street parking available

Came through for happy hour! Everything on their HH menu is $6. They had some really yummy cut rolls. My fave was the arctic char and avocado. They have some cool different types of fish and I had to google what things were lol. Even though the waitress gave me a rundown, she went fast and I couldn't keep up lol. It felt really authentic and the price was so good! We didn't have a res but were able to get seated at the bar. The service was really attentive and friendly. Cute little spot. Recommend!!

Love a solid happy hour. So many good options to choose from - absolutely can't go wrong. The service was super quick and flexible. We had an hour before the reservation for 7:30 showed up and they gave us our food in such a timely manner. Very chill, perfect happy hour vibes at a solid price.

From rolls to small plates, this delicious and authentic Japanese restaurant is high up on my list of fun spots. Of course, I've been to their happy hour and love being able to sample so much. This weekend, we tried them for dinner out with a group-- choosing to go family style with everyone trying a little bit of a lot of fish and fun. Service was delightful and quick, our server gave us amazing recommendations on everything from which sake to try next to which roll we might like. Her ability to guide our dinner was unmatched and allowed us to experience a wonderful dinner.

Tataki was an incredibly disappointing experience. My friends & I decided to go to Tataki on an early Friday night to check out their fish selection. We arrived at around 6pm, with about 30 minutes to spare before happy hour ended. To start, I believe the happy hour food was simply not worth it. Not only did we end up waiting 40+ minutes for our food (!!) but the portions were small and unfulfilling. The nigiri was nothing special & ended up having a hair on it, which we decided to send back. We ended up waiting another 20 minutes for them to fix their mistake, and when we asked if they could comp us for it considering how long we waited, they refused. The cut rolls were nothing special & the happy hour drinks were fairly diluted & pretty weak. Since we were unfulfilled by the happy hour food, we decided to order some rolls. Of course, it took another 40+ minutes to prepare even though the restaurant was not very busy. I got the tataki roll which was alright & is the only reason why I did not give this place one star. Overall, I think you can get way better quality sushi for a lot less money elsewhere in San Francisco. There was also an automatic 20% gratuity fee at the end of the meal & we were unaware of this until the check came. I will not be coming back to Tataki & I urge others to do the same.

I'd give this place a 3.5. When I arrived, there is no line so we were able to be seated quickly, and as soon as we were ready to order, the waiter was able to come promptly. We came at five which is during their happy hour (4-6:30 every day) and only ate items from the happy hour menu. i'd say it's decent, it's cool that they have different fish besides the typical salmon and tuna nigiri so you're able to try different raw fish. The pricing is decent and the sushi was fresh & satisfied the sushi craving, but wasn't anything special. The sushi rice was flavorful and paired well with the fish, but I wish the seaweed wrapping the hand rolls were more crispy. They tasted almost a little bit stale & just cheap store-bought packaged seaweed. I would come back here, especially during their happy hour if I was craving sushi, but it wouldn't be a sushi spot that I necessarily would pick if I was celebrating something like a birthday .

Great spot for sushi happy hour. Happy hour is everyday from 4:30 to 6:30 and they have a menu full of $6 items including drinks, rolls, and appetizers. My favorite items are the garlic edamame, the attic char and avocado roll, and the shrimp tempura roll. It's a great value and a fun spot, happy hour is lively so I usually get a day of reservation.

Tataki is a rare sustainable sushi restaurant and we really respect their commitment to serving sustainably caught fish and their commitment to the environment. We first learned about them over 10 years ago when they campaigned against consuming sharks fins. Also love their sushi nigiri and rolls.

I was enticed by their happy hour menu with $6 sushi. On a Thursday night they had a good amount of people in the restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive but nothing out of the ordinary. The happy hour rolls come with 5 slices. These rolls were good but nothing to write home about. I'd say this is a place where you're getting what you pay for, at least for happy hour. I'd come here again but probably wouldn't crave it.

Great hole in the wall spot serving simple, delicious sushi rolls. Tried this place for the 4:30-6:30 every day happy hour. There was a selection of $6 drinks - beers, margs, sangria, and more. Also, there were a selection of $6 sushi rolls, including 3 vegetarian rolls - sweet tempura, mixed veggie, and veggie tempura. 5 bites each but you couldn't go wrong picking any of those three rolls. Pro Tip: Get the garlic edamame- it's simply addicting!

This place surprised us. The first time we came for happy hour we weren't particularly impressed and thought everything was just fine, but we went back recently for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. In particular, their vegetarian rolls were excellent and flavorful. They also had a vegan spicy tuna roll, which was unlike anything I've tried in the city!

Made it here for the 4:30-6:30 every day happy hour and loved the deals on drinks and rolls!

This is the best happy hour I've been to in San Francisco in terms of price of both drinks and food. We were able to get a table during happy hour on a Saturday without reservation but it seemed pretty busy. Everything on the menu from margaritas, sangrias, edamame, and california crunch rolls is $6 (hand rolls are $5). Highly recommend the California Crunch roll (comes with 6 individual pieces in an order) and the spicy margarita!

I came across Tataki by chance while figuring out what to have for dinner, and I'm glad I chose this place. Tataki was busy when we showed up on a weekday night, but we managed to get the last table. We made it just when Happy Hour was ending, and we got a few dishes on the menu, including spicy tuna and sweet potato sushi rolls, which were soft, well-made, and packed a punch! Also got some nigiri, which were melt in your mouth and well-crafted with some sauces between the fish and rice (yuzu?). The roasted Brussels sprouts as appetizers were piping hot, crispy, and sweet from the glaze on top. Overall, a solid choice for Japanese food, and an unexpected surprise for dinner!

My friends and I came here for their happy hour! We got a few appetizers, sushi rolls, handrolls, nigiri, and drinks. Overall I would say it's a pretty good happy hour deal with everything being $6. Some appetizers are more worth than others, I enjoyed the agedashi tofu the most. In terms of rolls, I think the handrolls are the most worth! Handrolls are $4 each and I feel like you get more fish than just ordering a roll itself. My favorite handroll has to be the albacore and avocado. I got the scallop nigiri and I loved it! Scallop is one of my favorites and I'm always looking for a sushi place with super sweet scallop and this place has them. We got a lychee flavored cocktail that was super pretty but I thought it lacked the alcohol and was mostly ice. It wasn't bad though, still tasted pretty good! Overall a nice spot for happy hour, I like that their happy hour is everyday instead of just the weekdays.

My friend and I are avid happy hour goers and Tataki piqued our interest for that reason! We both work in San Francisco and pass by this place on occasionally so we're curious. I will say, not many restaurants offer sushi on their happy hour menu so that's why this spot is popping, but honestly it's just okay. Tataki is a moderately sized restaurant with lots of tables for groups of four or less. The tables are spaced pretty close together. The layout is nice but nothing outstanding--wooden, modern, and Grey and neutral tones. The service was lacking throughout our entire duration. Don't expect to be greeted or have many smiles or interactions. It was slow and we had to flag down our waitress to check on our food and order. Their happy hour runs from 4:30-6:30 p.m. everyday which is one of the later ones in the city. It's also popular and loud inside so I recommend coming early or making reservations which we did through Yelp. They also serve lunch and dinner. Since we came for happy hour we ordered off that menu. We got: Nasu Agebitashi, Shiro Maguro Nigiri, Suzuki Nigiri, and an Artic Char and Avocado Roll. Plus a Kingfisher Roll and Karaage from the regular menu. My favorite was the nasu agebitashi which was a soft and lightly marinated eggplant and zucchini dish. I could eat plates of these and not get tired. I found both my nigiris to be underwhelming as the taste and texture of the fish seemed off. The roll we had was decent but didn't stand out. I can understand why people come here as the pricing for the portions of sushi is relatively affordable but nothing more. Tataki is located right next to the famous B Patisserie off of California street. Parking is street and metered only. This is a spot I'd return to for happy hour but wouldn't dine in for a regular lunch or dinner. I'm glad I got to try it and look forward to finding other happy hour spots in the city.

We came here for the happy hour at 5pm. Happy hour is 4:30-6:30pm... and there wasn't a wait - I thought the place wasn't popular but the place filled up after a couple minutes lol We ordered several rounds of the salmon nigiri (comes in 2 pieces), spicy tuna hand roll ($4 each), fried calamari (kinda salty), & the char albacore cut roll. Then topped it with a couple IPAs Great vibes and service inside. It wasn't too dark or bright - just the right amount of light!

Came in for happy hour on a Wednesday evening after work! It was packed when I arrived with my partner around 530pm and we were lucky to be squeezed into the sushi bar after not having a reservation. The happy hour meal is a great deal! $6 menu items, including rolls, appetizers, and nigiri + $4 hand rolls. I didn't get a chance to look or try anything from their drink menu - would definitely come back to hit up that deal. Service was quick and food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the agedashi tofu, spicy edamame, calamari, spicy tuna hand roll, salmon nigiri, scallop nigiri, and another nigiri which name I forgot! The food was great for its price during happy hour and we left satisfied! Overall, I would come back but only for happy hour!

came for the happy hour special (sushi, drinks, etc for $6 everyday 4:30-6:30pm) and it was really worth it! my partner and i came at 5:30pm and it was starting to get busy around this time. the service was still pretty good, our waitress frequently made sure we always had enough water. we didn't have to wait that long for our food either we ordered 4 happy hour rolls, sashimi, and 2 special rolls. the happy hour deal was so worth we had to keep ordering more rolls. the special rolls were good, but i've had better rolls at other restaurants for the same price overall i would recommend this place, and for sure go during happy hour. next time i come i'll probably just order off the happy hour menu

Wow!!! This review is coming a bit late because I went here months ago but I loved it! It was a really good take on Japanese food and I absolutely loved all the rolls and food I got. I ordered too many items to list but it came out quickly and the service was good. The restaurant decor is simple but I really liked how it was clean and pristine! Hope to be back soon!!

This place is amazing if you want cheap and fast sushi! They have a happy hour menu everyday which i highly recommend. Everything on the menu is $6 and hand rolls are $4. They have a selection of drinks that are also $6 but we didn't order any. We ordered: Shrimp tempura, albacore and avocado, and salmon and avocado cut roll: each cut roll came with five pieces which i felt was fair. The rolls itself were decent. The fact that each roll was $6 was well worth it! Calamari: usual price i believe is around $8-$9, so this was also a steal! The two sauces they came with paired well with the squid! Agedashi tofu: i loveee ordering this dish everytime i come to a Japanese restaurant. Tofu was fried perfectly and paired well with the soy sauce! Spicy tuna hand roll: this was our favorite item!! The fish to rice ratio was generously. The fact that this was only $4 blew our minds! Overall i would say the happy hour menu is well worth it. You could get multiple items from this menu and order a couple of regular rolls from the main menu and be very satisfied! It's hard finding decent quality sushi at a great price in SF. Servers were attentive and very kind! Location is on California street next to B. Patisserie. We came on a Sunday around 5:30 and the place was decently packed! Didn't have to wait for a table though :)

We went for happy hour tonight and I was not too satisfied with my experience. To start, we ordered the sangria and it was very disappointing. It just tasted like watered down white wine, I wasn't able to finish the glass. My friend got a margarita and that tasted a little bit better, but it was still watered down. We ordered the crunchy spicy tuna maki, the crunchy california roll, and the hamachi and avocado maki. All were good, but there was nothing special about them. We also ordered the ikaage, chicken karage, and agedashi tofu and all of them were lacking flavor. The sauces didn't pair too well with them either. We ordered some hand rolls and they were average. The service was okay and I liked the vibe of the restaurant. I probably would not come back here.

Plenty meter parking @5pm Reservation 5pm on Wed is a must. Pack house on weekday. Happy Hour 4:30-6:30pm daily Vegan options too. Service was amazing and quick. Food was so good. We ordered from happy hour menu and regular menu. Reasonable prices.

Came here with a party of 5 during happy hour. Happy Hour Menu ranges from $5-$6. Get some liquor in your system and you'll end up ordering a lot more because that's exactly what happened to us. For our party, it was about $90-$100 per person. -- Kin-San-Gria: It's okay. Not the best cocktail IMO -- Tataki Margarita (Spicy): Gives it that Jalapeño spice tang. For spicy lovers~ (Non-spicy): My favorite cocktail! -- Spicy Edamame: Not bad, good! -- Garlic Edamame: For garlic lovers, anything goes well with garlic~ -- Agedashi Tofu: Not bad. -- Shishito Pepper: Good. -- Cut roll: Crunchy California Roll: For California Roll lovers! Refreshing. -- Cut roll: Albacore & Avocado: Delicious! -- Golden State: My favorite roll! -- Hotate: Scallop, good! -- Suzuki: My second fav nigiri! -- Iwana: This one is my favorite nigiri! -- Saba: The chicken of the sea, Mackerel. -- Katsuo: On par with Suzuki! -- Sake & Sake Toro: Pretty good. Iwana is still on the top fav list for me. -- Pork Gyoza: This was devoured before I could even try it. *cries/* Overall, great service, atmosphere and food!

Came to Tataki at 4:30p on a Sunday for happy hour with a group of 6 and had the best time. We made rsvps ahead of time and were glad we did because the restaurant definitely filled up quickly. The servers are nice and constantly refill water, which is great. We ordered a bunch of different rolls and nigiri, edamame, calamari, and agedashi tofu. Some standout dishes include: hotate scallop nigiri, arctic char + avocado roll, ikaage calamari and saba nigiri.

Servers are friendly and helpful. Restaurant layout is awesome, i.e. not overly crowded tables. BEERS ON TAP ARE EXCELLENT! Happy hour great. Parking not insanely hard to get, but still hard to get. Tataki is a winner.

Happy hour prices amazing! Drinks and plates for $5-7. Came right when it opened and there was no need for a reservation. About half an hour to an hour in the place started getting busier but still some room. Will definitely be back! Favorites: Calamari, shrimp tempura

Great spot for happy hours! We arrived at the start of happy hours at 4:30pm with no reservations and were seated immediately. It started getting busier closer to 5. We loved our $6 margaritas and small bites. Despite being busy, service was amazing. We were frequently checked on to take more orders and got our waters filled multiple times throughout the meal. -Ikaage: great to share, I like that it was lightly fried and came with 2 dipping sauces. - arctic char and avocado roll: this was my group's favorite! The avocado was creamy and the fish looked like salmon but some pieces are a bit chewier. -albacore and avocado roll: we also liked this roll and finished it pretty quickly -shrimp tempura roll: taste just like you expect it to - agedashi tofu: this dish was very light, we couldn't taste much of dipping sauce it came with but it was fun to try. - nasu agebitashi: so yummy, the marinated eggplant and zucchini was the most flavorful of all the happy menu items. I will definitely get this again. -tataki specialty roll ($16) this is on the regular menu but sounded good from the description. Presentation was beautiful, each piece was topped with different colored fish roe. We didn't know what type of fish was in the roll but loved the smokiness from the sear.

I really wanted to like this place, but honestly was quite underwhelmed. With sushi being my favorite food I was so excited to see $6 happy hour for nigiri and rolls. I was able to make a reservation ahead of time for right when they opened, and was eager to see how it was. The ambiance inside is quite nice and well decorated, and the environment is well suited for a date night or special occasion. We ended up ordering two of the $6 happy hour rolls, those being the arctic char + avocado and the crunchy spicy tuna. With the name of the restaurant being tataki, we also got the bincho tataki plate. It all came out fast but I thought the presentation was a little sloppy. The rolls weren't evenly cut and it all seemed kind of slapped on the plate. They were also a lot smaller than I expected, so the $6 price point actually seemed about right if not slightly pricey. There was barely any fish in the arctic char roll though I did enjoy the spicy tuna one. On the other hand, the tataki plate was presented better and was also pretty good. The fish tasted fresh and there was a good amount of toppings and sauce, but it was quite pricey for the amount of fish you get. Overall, I don't think I'd be back given the quality and quantity of food for the price. I was so excited to potentially find a good happy hour sushi spot but left feeling pretty disappointed.

3.5 overall for me! Happy hour every day from 4:30-6:30! Haven't tried their menu outside of happy hour, but if you just need to kill a sushi craving I think this spot can satisfy that. They have some decent quality nigiri for $6 for set of two, personally I just stick with the hotate (scallop) and iwana (similar to salmon). I like their handrolls ($4 each) as well. I got the tempura shrimp and artic char (similar to salmon). These were decent, nothing crazy but definitely good for the price. I thought the seaweed used was a bit stale for my taste. In terms of appetizers, like others have mentioned I'd just stick to the agedashi tofu and skip the ikaage. I thought the service was okay. When we first arrived, it was empty so the server was pretty attentive. As it got busier, it took us a while to receive the check after asking for it a couple times, and we almost felt ignored. Definitely a one off case but just something we experienced. Overall I'd come back for happy hour again.

Made reservations on Yelp which was easy and enjoyed their Happy Hour. Most of the items on the HH menu are $6, except for the hand rolls which are $4. Everything I ordered tasted great and was well executed: Nasu Agebitashi (marinated eggplant) Agedashi Tofu (lightly fried tofu in tempura sauce) Hotate (scallops) Albacore and Avocado Hand Roll Hot Tea A note about the tofu: it's VERY light in flavor, but it paired well with the marinated eggplant. The nigiri are somewhat small, but the scallops had a nice buttery fresh taste. There's nothing new or earth shatteringly innovative on the menu, but everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. Service was helpful and attentive.

Came here for happy hour on Tuesday. The happy hour menu is great for drinks and the appetizers but the sushi rolls on it weren't worth it. Everything on the happy hour menu is $6. Service was quick and attentive and the place is nice. Very spacious and lots of tables. There seemed to be two different bar areas too.

I came here on a Thursday for happy hour. I arrived around 5:30 and the restaurant was starting to fill up. I recommend making a reservation to avoid any wait time. Their $6 happy hour menu was great! My favorite was the garlic edamame. It was packed with flavor! It's similar to the garlic sauce that comes with green beans at Chinese restaurants. I was also happy with their rolls. The portion sizes were good and they didn't skimp on the fish just because it's happy hour. They do a last call at 6:30 so you can get in one last order from their menu if you want. I had a great time and would love to come back in the future!

We Love Tataki! and for years (even when it was a tiny restaurant) dine in at least a couple of times a week. Fresh, modern dishes, friendly staff, in a beautiful environment at approachable prices.

Dined here on a Friday night during happy hour and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it here!! The happy hour menu had a good selection of items to order from. I ordered a few rounds of nigiris and rolls off the happy hour menu and really enjoyed each one. Surprisingly, my favorite item from this restaurant was the crunchy California roll! I ended up ordering 3 rounds of it. Service was nice and attentive. I will def be back for happy hour!

Tataki probably has my favorite happy hour menu in all of SF. It's cute, clean, attentive, and has unbeatable cocktail and sushi roll happy hour prices! - Arctic Char and Avocado Roll: My personal favorite. The char tasted super fresh and the avocado was perfectly sweet. - Crunchy California: A solid california roll with a generous helping of tempura bits on top. Sounds basic but is still super tasty! - Ikaage: Solid table appetizer with two very delicious dipping sauces. It was great to try but I'd probably get another roll over this next time. - Spicy Margarita: Sweet and strong, but also definitely spicy. I would get the normal margarita next time since I can't handle my heat that well! Service was super attentive despite the huge crowd. They came back to check on us and take more orders at least three times within an hour. Seats were filled up by 5PM, so if you're also interested in taking full advantage of the happy hour menu from 4:30-6:30PM, I recommend either making a reservation in advance or coming at 4:30PM to beat the rush.

Happy Hour Review. So good! $4 hand rolls, $6 sushi rolls, $6 margs/wine! My rec would be to opt in for a Spicy Margarita +$1. Rolls our generously stuffed, spicy tuna roll was my favorite. They also have a couple of vegetarian options. Decent Calamari on happy hour menu too. Happy hour is also open later than others (6:30 PM) and doesn't seem to be too busy.

We decided to try their happy hour specials on a Friday evening. We arrived about 5pm and were seated immediately. We tried most of the items on the $6 happy hour menu. As happy hour went past the 6:30pm mark, the restaurant became busy. We noticed that the non-happy items looked more exotic and larger in serving size. Although the happy hour items were priced attractively, the serving size was appropriately matched. However, we were very pleased with the happy hour liquor. We will return and try BOTH the happy hour and non-happy hour menu items.

Fantastic spot for happy hour and I'd come back for regular hours as well. The waitstaff is fantastic - friendly and efficient. My friends and I came for happy hour but didn't realize how long the wait would be without a reservation. We almost left, but we waited inside and were able to snag a spot at the bar just before happy hour ended. The interior is super cute and there's a good level of noise without it being too hard to hear each other. The food is fantastic and the prices are amazing - $5-6 for rolls, drinks, and appetizers. I would definitely get the chicken karaage, calamari, mixed veggie roll, miso soup, and artic char and avocado roll. The hotate is fresh and yummy and the tempura roll and crunchy ca rolls are fantastic as well. The agedashi tofu was the biggest disappointment... I had high hopes based off of other reviews, but it was flavorless and the coating was soggy - a flat dish that I would not get again. Other than that, everything was fantastic and I'd come back for more food.

Came here because I was CRAVING sushi and it was delicious. We came right before dinner so there wasn't a line at all and service was super quick and nice. The inside of the restaurant is also pretty spacious with a small bar at the back. I would love to come again with a bigger group! We ended up ordering a couple rolls and all of them were delicious. The rolls came out really quick and they were beautiful. They were also super delicious. Overall, I would love to come again--especially for happy hours, which others have noted is really worth it!
