Tekka Japanese Restaurant

Be there and get in line . at least 30 min on weekdays. 8 counter seats and 3 table seats. No menu presented but only nigiri 's are listed on the board. Sashimi combo is a must.

Negi/Hamachi roll, asparagus / mushroom stirfry, eel , miso soup . They also have other specials they make that's not on the board.

Very large cuts of fish ... Portion sizes are at least double what you get at other sushi joints . So take it easy with the ordering. And always ask for specials of the day or you may be missing out!

Come early as it only seats 10 (or sometimes 11)! We arrived at 5:30 for the 7:30pm seating and we were already #9 and #10 in line !

Even if you get here early, watch as a single person ahead of you turns into 5, and you miss first seating after waiting an hour and a half.

The sushi was incredibly delicious here. San Francisco's own jiro

Fat ass nigiri . So good. Love everything about this place. First seating now at 7pm!

Bring cash for ???? . Their sushi is quite big (almost like a fish blanket). http://instagram.com/p/sglAz_Bs5G/

Nope. Just don't. The comically large nigiri feels like a gimmicky bad joke. Good quality overall is not bad, but far from worth the hype and definitely not worth the wait.
