sushi omakase tasting spoons good for dates spicy food trendy healthy food chirashi watermelon rolls wagyu beef popcorn seaweed salad great value green tea hamachi truffles lunch good for special occasions crowded wasabi
Adam K.

Omakase makes for a wonderful meal. The wagyu beef is delicious. Pair with a sake to complete the evening. No reservations so come early and be ready to head to a nearby pub while you wait 90-120 min.

Ashley Yuki

100% worth the wait (no reservations ) - some of my favorite sushi in SF! White out roll, hamachi truffle , tasting spoons , nigiri omakase , and uni are my faves!!

Sabina B.

Cozy , romantic , and the best sushi place I've found in SF. There's always a wait, and it's worth it. Put your name down and go have a drink at the Dubliner while you wait.

Janet Anne Panen

The omakase was excellent! Highly recommend the tasting spoons as well (we got kanpachi & torotoro which were A+). I’ll definitely be back again.

Brian Yamanaka

Call ahead to get your name on the wait list. Everything is fresh and amazing. Follow their instructions on the nigiri and DO NOT dip in soy sauce or add wasabi ! They are perfectly flavored!

joahnna

Definitely go for the omakase ! I had the nigiri tasting and it was superb! The flavours are amazing. The Hamachi Truffle is also great!

Brant McQuitty

Cozy setting, long waits (easier if you're a local and cab slip back home), omakase is easy and delightful. Lunch time chirashi bowl is also ????????

Bobbie McLellan

Great sushi . Salmon skin salad was a nice bonus surprise and quite sizeable. The grilled mackerel was Smokey and soft. Get it.

Craig Little

If you’re there for the first seating, know that they do it in stages. If you miss the first stage, you’ll wait about 10 minutes before being seated.

Arusyak Abrahamyan

Absolutely worth it! They don't take reservations and the wait is always around 45 min. They also don't keep your table if you are not there when they call you, but the food is really good!

Karin Hofmann

Absolutely worth waiting for. Fabulous sushi presented by lovely staff . My sushi mecca in the Bay Area.

Jamie Tsao

The best sushi I've ever had. Order sashimi and it comes with a special 3 year aged soy sauce . White Out and Watermelon rolls are bomb.

Gadi Shamia

Long wait so get on the list and have a drink nearby. Really great place and probably the best sushi place in the area.

Kian Lavi

By far the best sushi I've yet to have in SF, and maybe the Bay Area. Get the spoons, you won't regret it.

Bommy

Expensive but very high quality. Go before it opens to guarantee an in. Spicy cracker is the best.

Alice M

Truly the perfect lunch , just trust your sushi chef with the chirashi bowl.

Kelly ????

Omakase your night away. Sashimi comes with aged soy sauce to enhance the flavor of your fish ! The naked scallop and white out rolls are amazing!!

David Adams

Everything here is fantastic. Be sure to try some version of the sushi tasting (omakase ) for a sense of what they can do.

Angie H

Their variety of fish available for nigiri/sashimi is fantastic. Everything is tasty as fuck. I crown thee the best sushi bar in town .

O L

Cosy vibe and amazing Omakase . Frank Ocean was also playing????. Oh and the salads were amazing.

Jim Magill

Saru has organized great pickup or delivery that lets you experience the food and think about the team we love that created it.

Loved the food, the place and the service. I missed a bit more vegetarian options . I Highly recommend this!

We came for lunch during the weekend and were able to sit at the bar with no wait. Good sushi !

I have a problem. I like the White Out roll too much. Get it.

Chantal Cox

Good food but expect to wait 30mn to 1h because they don't take reservation beforehand. Fast service , small restaurant . Nice for a date.

Delicious fresh sushi ! White out roll and spicy cracker for sure. They have freshly grated wasabi for $3 extra dollars too.

Everything is delicious! Some of the best sushi I've had.

Janny said what? Jannysaisquoi

"No soy sauce " (built-in) .... So I took a bite of each and doused it jn BOTH wasabi and soy sauce anyways ????

Natalie Burdick

Cherry salmon , black cod and dragon roll were stand out!

Steven Grimm

The fish menu changes frequently so be sure to check for new additions.

James Wilson

The sushi lunch combo is a great deal, but you'll probably want to order more

Sean Reckwerdt

The white out roll is out of this world but Trey says you need to get on this bacon of the sea.

Nodas Papadimitriou
