Very fine and fresh sushi, great and warm service!
This is simply the best sushi in the entire city. Enough said. Signed, a very harsh sushi critic 😆
I ordered the salmon and avocado rolls, green tea ice cream and white peach sake which were delicious. The service and atmosphere were very nice. I've been a regular for some years now.
The food here is really good.... Like I was back in Japan good. The rice is done just right, slightly sticky without being overly starchy. Their lunch specials are worth the price. They have this ginger dressing on the salads that was fresh and very pleasing. You should get the gyoza if you get any appetizer. The unagi domburi was some of the best I have had. Recommend this place as a nice lunch stop.
Good sushi. Great service. Very attentive and welcoming staff.
outstanding little local find! excellent quality everything from sushi to ramen tempura all fabulous. please note the location is small with just four tables and a sushi bar but if you can get in you are in for a treat! very fairly priced for the quality of food and a city location.
I just ordered the dragon roll to go and it was so fresh and delicious. Very friendly staff, clean atmosphere and many choices of sushi to choose from. Great for a quick bite to eat if you are staying in the union square area.
Wonderful place! I had unagi donburi and sushi. Very reasonably priced and delicious!!
Really delicious and fresh sushi. The stuffed mushroom appetizer and the mango sushi were highlights. The staff were very hospitable.
the best sushi in SF!! 😍 the service is amazing and quality of food is just as wonderful. the waitress is very friendly and makes you feel at home. highly recommend!
We have been coming to Sushi Zone since 2009. It is lovely- incredible food, cute small restaurant, open kitchen. We love their sushi, but their warm dishes- the baked bass, salmon Kama and hamachi Kama are not to be missed. We will be back and highly recommend Sushi Zone!
Atmosphere was awesome, such great vibes. Food was delicious, high quality and very very well made. Obviously the sushi rolls were good, but the appetizers were awesome too!
We came as a part of four, were seated immediately at the bar and had an awesome time enjoying wonderful food!

I was excited to see nothing has changed over the last 20+ years Sushi Time has been open. It’s been many years since I moved away from the neighborhood, but on the recent visit, the owner remembered every detail. Food and atmosphere was as lovely as it was then.
The reason why I give this place 5 stars is not because they have the best sushi or the best service or the most stunning decor. No I give it 5 stars because as you walk in you are transformed into a place you would find at any corner in any city in Japan. Time stands still and the world is forgotten. And you simply enjoy your drink and food with friends or alone and absorb that moment of perfection. The sushi is perfectly cut and the rice moist but consistent so that every piece melts on your tongue.
Treat yourself and step out of your daily rush and emerge yourself in a moment of bliss Japanese style.

Really great sushi, reasonable prices. A bit hard to find and ambiance could be better but food alone is worth it!
The food was really good! It was pretty quick too and lovely place to sit down and eat. It’s also in a great location.
For sure!!! The best sushi in San Francisco!!!
Fresh and tasty! Looks like a simply place and it’s the opposite!

The sweetest little restaurant to enjoy your stay in union square. Awesome prices and awesome food. Try the fried oysters!
Very cute little sushi place - got seaweed salad and a crazy roll and was very pleased with the tempura shrimp in the roll. The plating was beautiful as well
This place are quite small, they only have four tables and a sushi bar. We went there as a group for the new year party, and we ordered a lot of food! They were all pretty good! The tofu was very tender and the fried tofu skin was just right. Also the Japanese wings were great, they served it with mild spicy, meat was very tender. Two ramens were good too except the broth was too oily for my taste, the rest were normal good.
Decent looking place, but way too expensive for the small cuts they serve. Nothing special. They should serve house salads to keep the customers occupied while waiting for their order. There are better options around. I won't be going back. Servers were apologetic rather than proud, although I didn't complain.
This is the best sushi I've ever had! I had the Philadelphia roll & Dragon roll with steamed pot stickers, spring rolls, and green tea ice cream. Every single thing was fresh, delicious, and not too expensive. Staff were fabulous.
My S/O and myself ordered garlic edamame, gyoza, little angel roll and a Lion King roll. Prices were slightly different than the ones posted online and on yelp.
The garlic tasted a little off, like it was from a jar, but the edamame was good never the less. Gyoza was good, same with the little angel. The Lion King was okay but they skimped on tobiko, which is one of the important parts of the roll. After ordering a side of it and adding it to the roll it was great! All of that plus a large beer totalled out to about $55 which is great, especially in SF. I would definitely return.

This place has amazing sushi, service and community. Everyone there was so nice and open to talk. I had a great time, great food and zake. I recommend it a lot. Ill be coming back
Great omakasa. We really enjoyed the dishes. Their signature dishes are top notch and nigiri was amazing. They also have a great sake pairing to go with the meal. Beautiful space and ambiance as well.
Came here intending to have a quick lunch the other day, but unfortunately received quite poor service. It took a while to get the attention of a waiter to let us order, and while we were ordering our waiter seemed confused with what we wanted and we weren't sure she had heard it all. We ordered a few rolls, a curry, and a ramen, and waited about 20 minutes before inquiring as to the progress of our meal. We asked three separate wait staff who said they would check, until one of them realised our order had not actually been put through. We had a flight to catch that afternoon so it was quite a stressful experience. Finally the waiter came over and explained the situation to us and said the food would be out in 5 minutes. The food did come then which was good, and we were offered complimentary dessert as an apology.
The food itself was pretty good, I wish they marked their vegan options though because I had to just guess. I got the Kawaii roll and the Popeye roll, which both tasted good.
Overall a good meal, just wish we could have had a better experience with the service.

AKIKOS may have moved locations, but the food and service haven't changed a bit. The restaurant over delivers on both fronts. If you're looking for an incredible omakase experience, look no further than AKIKOS.

Always delicious and delightful! I recommend the start with miso soup, garlic edamame, fried mushrooms and veggie dragon roll. All yummy!
Nice place with some inventive rolls and fresh fish. Daily specials were better and more interesting than some of the standards. Sushi rice was a bit cold. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Romeo and Juliet roll was excellent. So was Hamachi carpaccio.
Service was horrible. I ordered the chicken katsu curry. They brought out chicken katsu. I was like oh well I don’t want to waste this and I like katsu anyhow, no worries. Decent meal, just not what I ordered. At the end when my check arrived, I was charged for the katsu curry. I asked why I didn’t receive the curry then. Server said they were out of curry. Information I could have used at the beginning when ordering, I would have gotten something else. Hard to flag down one of the 15 people on stafff for some reason, everyone is looking elsewhere all the time and not engaging the diners. Hard to say I’ll go back here with other sushi and Japanese cuisine around. I wish them well, just not for me✌🏽
One of the best (and biggest) beef udon soups I have ever had, and for a reasonable price! Plus the service was very friendly. I will definitely come back here :)
Lovely little place. Staff very friendly and food was amazing. Definitely worth trying.
Excellent sushi at reasonable prices. I've been here several times. They serve good-size portions and a wide variety. My "sushi dinner" (chef's choice) came with tuna, salmon, mackerel, whitetail, eel, shrimp, crab, and octopus. The California roll with avocado is delicious. I had two plates full of food and a beer for around $45. After spending $17 on a burger and fries at O'Hare Airport on the way out here, it was really nice to get decent food without getting ripped off.
I almost don’t want to tell you about how good the sushi is here. Fish so fresh you’d think we’re by the port. And the baked muscles…. A must try. They literally melt in your mouth. & I have not had friendlier, more welcoming service anywhere…. Not to mention the lower east-side NY vibe inside. This is how a neighborhood sushi joint should be. Thank you for some of the best bites around.
We love this sushi spot. It’s tiny (about 20 seats) and fabulous. The service is fantastic, even if it’s busy. Always accommodating. The prices are competitive with other sushi restaurants. They always have a great selection of specials. They make us feel like family. It’s our number one sushi spot in the city.
AYCE - read the fine print. 18% gratuity for 5 or less people and 20% for 6 or more. $38 ayce dinner is actually $45 per person
Sushi rolls all tasted the same. Very light on the fish and very heavy on the rice.
Got several appetizers: Gyoza was over fried, agedashi tofu was not fried with starch but fried whole resulting in normal fried tofu (hotpot style) and not fluffy, the dipping sauce for the tofu was also bland lacking soy sauce and dashi, tempura veggies were normal, potato croquette was tasty a but strange and gooey rather than fluffy.
There was a smell that was unpleasant. You get used to it but it was quite strange. Art work is flipped.

We made a reservation in advance for 7pm, which was great since they filled the tables quickly. I wanted to do the all you can eat option but saw I had to eat the equivalent of 3 rolls to be worth it and decided to do 2 rolls instead. The sushi itself was good overall and the service was great. I would probably choose to go to Fishmandu instead.
The reason why I gave 3 stars: the 2 sushi rolls had SUPER thin layers of salmon on top. It looked like it had been flattened before being placed. The salmon nigiri had a decent amount of fish. Also as soon as you walk in, there was a strong smell from the carpets. The staff opened the window, which really helped.

Sushi Zome boasts a wonderful ambiance and exceptional service. The food quality varies based on the sushi rolls ordered—I've been there with friends, some rolls were outstanding while others were more average. Overall, the experience was enjoyable due to the great atmosphere and service, despite the varying quality of dishes.
Intimate atmosphere with chefs-counter-only seating. Each course was simple yet inspired, and so fresh. The menu is obviously set (though you were offered the opportunity to order more at the end if you wish.)
We were served several fish I had never before tried along with some favorites-turned-upscale like three courses of tuna nigiri, with increasing fattiness, lightly seared wagyu and the lightest, airiest tamago with a delicate crispy top.
The sake pairing portions were big enough to share, which is very good because otherwise I wouldn’t have been conscious by the third course. But each is paired very well, served and explained by a sake specialist and worth any hangover, should it come to that.
Okmakase is a bit on the spendier side but absolutely worth saving up for. Cannot wait to return. Much thanks to the staff for a lovely night and overall experience.

We loved our experience at Kusakabe. You are treated like royalty and do not have to think of anything while there. If you want to live in the moment and enjoy 2 hours of bliss the this is the place for you.
Excellent quality Sushi! Took the maguro nigiri, the Toro roll, spicy tuna roll and the super dynamite roll. All of them were excellent. Small place with nice ambiance! Friendly staff. Slightly on the pricier side, but worth the quality. Would definitely come back!
I honestly didn’t expect a lot going in but was blown away. The fish was very fresh and buttery. Every piece was seasoned very well. Around 70 for this nigiri platter, which includes toro, wagyu, uni, scallop, etc. It is not cheap but is very good deal compared to other sushi places in the Bay Area.
Agedashi is ok. I’d skip.

Lovely hidden gem. The staff was very friendly and made excellent suggestions. I was dining alone and they made me feel very welcome. Try the toro special if they have it.
Great team and food here. Very friendly and fun. Quick and fresh. Salmon nigiri was tasty! Gave three levels of rice options with the nigiri.
Gute Sashimi und Sushi-Rollen, einzig der Wasabi taugt nichts!
Als wir dann gefragt haben, ob sie auch scharfen Wasabi haben, kriegten wir einen selbstproduzierten Wasabi, der auch nicht richtig scharf schmeckte, dafür als Krönung mit 2 Dollar auf der Rechnung zu finden war!
Wir waren nun zweimal da, ein drittes Mal lassen wir bleiben...

Upon entering I felt mislead by the servers when it came to requesting water. I was asked if I wanted still or San Francisco’s finest. Not knowing San Francisco’s finest was tap water, I said still and was charged $15. Whatever, just didn’t expect a high-end restaurant with a Michelin star to use deceptive tactics like this to upsell. A little disappointing.
Their Omakase was just okay. Mainly nigiri was served and I felt like the other courses/dishes lacked innovation. Chef Kaoru was super nice and interactive, probably the highlight of our dining experience.

Incredible omakase - we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our 18 course meal. Can't wait to come back.
After visiting the best dentist office DSF Dr. joseph in SF.
We tried Maru Sushi, it's just one minute away from our dental office.
It's not the expensive kind of luxury sushi restaurant.
It's more like a 7-11 kind of daily meal sushi restaurant around your house corner in Japan everywhere.
The price is very friendly.
Service is decent.
Food is delicious.
Sapporo on tap is superb.
I always passing by when I was on a cable car riding the hills.
Finally get to try it.
Will come back.

Everything we had was so delicious! Their ikura in particular was otherworldly - it brought me right back to the summer I spent in Kanazawa.
Our server was warm and didn't get annoyed as we repeatedly ordered more and more (and more) sushi, and the decor was cozy. Prices were really reasonable, too.
Oh, and they've got a tasty sake menu!
I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!

I ordered a bento box. The beef was unchewable. I wasted my $ & will NEVER go back to this place. I mentioned the beef being unchewable & got no response
I went there for the first time ever to celebrate my early birthday dinner. This was probably the best omakase restaurant I've been to, compared to NYC level.
My guest and I was greeted by a friendly host who showed us to our seats at the sushi bar. I recommend getting seats here, so you can watch the chefs make your nigiri.
Every item they brought to us to eat were amazing, flavorful, melts in your mouth, and no fishy after taste. My guest is a picky eater, but they loved everything we ate! We also ordered the wagyu nigiri at the end and it was better than some wagyu i've had in Japan.
Everyone was very hospitable and made my birthday dinner special. Thank you! can't wait to be back and will def. be telling all my friends to come here!

We usually do takeout/delivery. Good, fresh sushi at reasonable prices. Every now and then I get a piece of sushi that isn’t great, but it’s pretty rare.
My dining experience at Omakase in San Francisco was truly unforgettable. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported into a world of culinary excellence. The intimate setting and minimalist decor set the stage for what was to come – a culinary journey that surpassed all expectations.
The omakase menu, a chef's tasting menu where the chef selects each dish, was a symphony of flavors and textures that danced on my palate. Each course was a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. The sushi, in particular, was a revelation. The fish melted in my mouth, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The chef's creativity shone through in every bite, as I savored exotic ingredients and unique combinations that I had never experienced before.
The service at Omakase was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the cuisine they were serving. They took the time to explain each dish, its origins, and the techniques used to prepare it. It was evident that they took great pride in their craft.
What truly set Omakase apart was the chef's personal touch. The chef throughout the meal explained the inspiration behind each course and to ensure that we were enjoying our dining experience. This level of interaction made the meal feel like a genuine connection with the chef and added an extra layer of appreciation to the food.
In the end, dining at Omakase in San Francisco was not just a meal; it was a culinary journey, an artful experience, and a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. If you have the opportunity to dine at Omakase, I highly recommend it. It's not just a restaurant; it's an extraordinary dining adventure that will redefine your expectations of fine cuisine.

The sushi here is AMAZING!! And a good price, does take a bit for the food to come but is well worth it
One of the best Omakase in the Bay Area. Traditional Kaseiki style. Great food and great vibe. Highly recommended.
I got the dragon roll, salmon crunch, OMG and 1 other. It wasn't bad and the price was reasonable. The portion size was decent but I'm not a fan. I don't hate this place and I don't have a reason to go back unless, I absolutely have to. It was bland. Sorry.
The ramen noodles were a huge portion and delicious. The pot stickers unfortunately came out cold. Edamame was good enough but not remarkable. Lastly the chicken teriyaki was great.
All in all it was a fine place. I don't need to go back or recommend anyone else check it out, but I didn't leave disappointed.

Worth every penny. Probably some of the best sushi’s I’ve ever eaten. Great service too.
Amazing food and experience celebrating my wife's Birthday. Each dish was beautiful and delicious. The staff was very friendly too. The petite omakaze was a great deal and all 3 of us were full and content after the dinner.
The Sushi at Sushi Chef was of high quality and the dishes themselves were innovative, not your everyday standard sushi. The price tag was quite steep, however, this is true for San Francisco in general. In other cities, you could get the same quality of fish as here for less. The price-quality ratio was good though.
Awesome experience in this multiple-year Michelins awarded omakase restaurants. Special fishes that I rarely had even I have been to so many other sushi omakase readings in SF. Friendly staff and wonderful services that delivered a very warm and welcomed vibe. My daughter and I really enjoyed it and had a great evening there !
lively and fun all you can eat/drink sushi spot! would recommend going with a group of friends, lots of sake bombs going around.
staff is friendly and food/drinks get brought out quickly.
food itself is mid-tier but you don’t go here with that in mind.
overall, ~$60 after tax and tip for the all you can eat and drink which is a little pricy but worth going

First time here and it was an absolute treat. Thoroughly enjoyed every course and everything they had to offer in their Omakase. The fish was SO UNBELIEVABLY FRESH, it would make a fisherman cry. The last part of the Omakase was fish that was flown in overnight from Japan. The flavors of everything that was brought together that evening was absolutely unforgettable. Truly worthy of celebration of any kind, or just if you want some damn GREAT FISH. Not good, GREAT.
The hostess was also so nice and so informative about everything. Bless her heart, she was so kind.
Only complaint is because of the old-laundry smell that our tablecloths had that evening. Other than that, the meal was astonishingly perfect. Will definitely return because the food was just SO GOOD.

My husband and I wanted to try a new sushi place and I found Oma which was close to our house. We got a couple of rolls, some appetizers, drinks, and dessert. It all was prepared very well and tasted delicious. The staff and chefs were so kind. We will definitely have to come back.
Super good, we got the Lion Roll (I think) and a Chicken Katsu Curry.
Reasonable prices and great all you can drink deal for 10$!
Salmon Teriyaki and California rolls were really good, but Soups lacked flavor, and the atmosphere felt a little dirty.
They’re open until late so it’s a good spot to go before jumping into the next club/bar

We had the Omakase at Kusakabe restaurant today. It was amazing and most delightful. The waiters were very attentive. We were placed at the bar next to master Okada San who prepared the sushi in front of us in the most skilful way. For me it was the second time at Kusakabe and again one of my best sushi experiences in my life. The Sake pairing was a very tasty and suitable pairing. Thank you ありがとう Arigato Okada SanとKusakabe San and the staff at Kusakabe restaurant.

Excellent Kyoto style Sushi, Omakase was beautifully presented, every item tasted outstanding. Crew was competent and friendly. Not at all a stuffy venue.
Fantastic experience ♥️ It’s got lovely interiors and a great modern design. I loved the ambiance and the menu sounded fascinating. Food is high quality and magnifique. I enjoyed the lunch trying new things on the menu and had a great time. Thanks to all high professional people working there and managing this place.
Been here twice for a birthday and anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed the experience both times. Great ambience, knowledgeable and friendly chefs, and of course amazing amazing omakase! Price is quite reasonable too considering it has a Michelin Star.
What a great fine dine-in experience!
The first thing I noticed was the aesthetic sushi bar and they greeted me a warm welcome.
For the start, they served the fish soup which was light in flavor. Next was the chawanmushi, which has deep flavor coming from the truffle. The glorious golden caviar with toro tartare up next, this was deliciously good, rich in flavor, tho was just looking for different texture. Then Nigiri were prepared, they used fresh seafood but one thing that stands out for me was the rice! It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly!
Do not forget to get a warm sake to pair with your nigiris.
They are very responsive in my inquiries about the reservation.
Food: Excellent

Beautifully executed top to bottom. Impeccable service. Unique play on omakase pushing modern expression of the genre in their own direction. Gorgeously well-designed dining room. Dry aged fish was the star for me but everything really tickled me right.
Delicious dinner experience. Fish selection was great and fresh. Some of their fish I've had for the first time at this restaurant. Golden eye snapper and toro were the standouts for the nigri course.
Dessert was miso Panna Cotta with yuzu granita and fresh fruit and it was very refreshing. Perfect ending to dinner.

Our go-to for sushi delivery in San Francisco. We have ordered from Rock Japanese Cuisine many times and they are consistently timely and tasty.
Order: Fire Cracker Roll, Tempura California Roll, Gyoza, Tori Karaage
The portion sizes are generous relative to the price, and they have a large selection of sushi, rolls, appetizers, and drinks.

Sushi Delight is amazing! The food is good, and on Fridays and Saturdays they have all you can eat for $38 (that’s the best part). I think it’s something everyone should try at least once. The all you can eat includes appetizers too, not just the sushi. Yeah, it’s the deal of a lifetime.
My new go to! Very small and cozy, friendly staff, reasonable prices, delicious simple sushi. Will definitely be coming back. My favorite was the butter fish roll (spicy waru). Most rolls are under $10!
Huge portions of fish and nice chefs choice for the assortment. Fish tasted very fresh and no aftertaste like someone else mentioned. (And I am picky.) Service is very nice and my wife ordered the box and was impressed with the serving of salmon and short ribs. Very pleased with our experience.
Nice staffs and the foods were great for the price. The sashimi was cut a little bit too thick for me, but that's my personal preference. The udon soup was good although there was not many pieces of tempura. Overall good experience, and might be back to try some sushi next time.
Small place and very busy, so possibly get a reservation before you go. Perfect for birthday party or any parties in general. It has good izakaya vibes, just like Japan where people are having real fun and make some noise. All you can in menu and a great selection of rolls and sashimi. Food was delicious and and portion are fulfilling. Direct access to next door karaoke bar, it is quite amazing to be honest! I’ll probably bring a bigger party for my birthday now that I know this place! I highly suggest it if you want to have a fun night with friends.
Best Japanese restaurant in SF. I’ve tasted lots of Japanese dishes, but this one really surprised me. I will say every single piece here is comfortable. It is the first time I feel warm and comfortable when eating sushi. The different materials are combined so naturally. They balanced with each other well.
It was so great to be here. Thank you for the great experience.

This was a fantastic experience. It was like a perfect dance from start to finish. The kitchen and sushi chefs we perfectly synchronous. The food was elegant with breathtaking delivery. One of the best meals of a lifetime. The cost is quite high at 250 for the experience plus plus for saki and tip… but worth it for the once in a lifetime experience. It may be useful to have one tier lower of an option to get more repeat visits…but… if they can sustain on this then keep the magic going.
Food was delicious. We had the tasting menu and most of the dishes were excellent, though some were oversalted, which really is unnecessary for sashimi. Service was attentive in serving dishes and clearing plates but I would have expected more conversation with the staff about how the food was. They were talking amongst themselves and to just a few of the guests they appeared to know. Prices were exorbitant. While I can expect that for top of the line Japanese, the aforementioned service gaps made it feel overpriced.
TL;DR: Very, very mediocre sushi but the $10 all-you-can-drink is worth it.
I came by Wasabi intrigued by their $10 AYCD special. Drinks and sushi? Count me in please! Unfortunately, not many dishes are as worth the price as the AYCD. The specialty sushi here runs about $14-$15 and they're so small. I did appreciate some of the dishes like the carpaccio and the hamachi Kama but would not come here again for the rolls. Stick with the nigiri and other non-raw fish items.
WHAT I ORDERED:
1. Hamachi Kama ($12.95): this takes 25 minutes to come out but very well worth the wait! The hamachi is cooked perfectly and pairs well with the citrus-y sauce. It's also a large appetizer and would feed 2-3 ppl easily!
2. X Roll ($14.50): it's so small for a $14.50 roll :( This is a hamachi/avocado roll topped with tuna and salmon. My SO didn't like the quality of the raw fish saying it smelled kind of fishy. Otherwise, not worth the money
3. Unagi Roll ($7.50): another disappointment. There's barely any unagi in the roll and was mostly rice and avocado.
4. Rainbow Carpaccio (8.95): a nice array of fish that was nicely sized. I liked the yuzu wasabi sauce that's drizzled on top. It adds a nice touch.

What a little gem! We were told about this place through a friend and were very happy to have had the recommendation.
We started off with a cool and delicious, dry sake. We shared Dragon rolls as our appetizer and then each had a chicken udon soup. Turns out it was a cold night so the soup hit the spot.
The chicken was tender and juicy and the broth had a perfect flavor. It'll be a soup I turn to anytime I feel the need for a home cooked meal.
Once they explained the dessert I couldn't resist! Green tea ice cream surrounded by banana 🍌 tempura. Simply heaven 🤩 We'll be back for sure!

The weather was unbelievably rainy but Omakase made all the rainy driving worth it! The chef was amazingly skilled and also really funny so it was a great experience :) The fish was really fresh and the chef took time to explain before every dish any noteworthy characteristics so we knew what to taste for. I was also really full by the end! They checked for vaccination status before letting us in and the chefs wore masks during the entire ~2hour service.
We went for our anniversary and they drew a cute little card for us :)

Late night dinner. Decided to try this place and I fell in love with it! We sat at the booth and was greeted immediately! Ordered Miso soup as an appetizer and I ordered to different type of rolls. Which were the Hawaiian Roll #1 and the New York. Miso soup was served literally 8 minutes after I had placed it. Rolls did take about an hour to serve. However, it was worth the wait they were presented perfectly and had an awesome fresh taste.
Best sushi in San Francisco I have ever tried before.
The waitress apologized for wait on the food but explained that there was only one chef. But wow was it worth the wait!!

Great little place to get all you can eat sushi! Reservations are not required but recommend as they have limited space. The dinner price for all you can eat is a little more expensive but there are more options.
This was by far the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The Sushi/Nigiri was prepared to perfection and everything was full of flavor. The level of detail in the presentation, the high quality ingredients and the professionalism from the chef and staff were unmatched. Our favorites were the O Toro, the Scallop and the Sashimi. Really enjoyed the ice cream dessert as well. Hope to be back when in the area again!
Happy hour starts when they open at 1130 AM and is All you can drink! Plus the sushi and service is bomb. Located in the heart of the Castro, you can't go wrong!
No reservations. Waited 25 minutes at 8pm on a Saturday for a group of 3. Fresh fish, nicely prepared rice, and crisp seaweed. They ran out of a few key fish (including unagi), which put a damper on some of the nigiri and rolls we wanted to order. Also, very little cooked food here. So order some miso or edamame to get your warm fix while eating.
I'm going to be honest, usually mainstream Japanese restaurants are nice and the food is just alright. But this time I have to say the sushi was really good. Fresh and tasty, for a very good price. In my 2 weeks stay in SF I came here twice. Well done! Keep up with the good work.
Sushi Zone is one of my favorite sushi places in San Francisco! The owners are so friendly and the food is absolutely superb! I have waited for over an hour to eat here on multiple occasions; it is definitely worth the wait!
The attention was good, waiter was kind and the place was really attractive. There was a short wait and the waiter was really patient.
The food was really good, there's a lot from what to choose and the menu was easy to understand.
Overall the experience was on point and I'm really looking forward to come back someday.

Best Authentic hole in the wall sushi place by far. Totally worth a visit. The Tai carpaccio is excellent, and make sure to check the specials you'll often find some great fish.
Solid 4 star restaurant. They had a very diverse Japanese menu with sushi, curry, noodle spots, teriyaki and more, so nothing individually was amazing. However, everything we ordered was good and didn't have any glaring flaws. Prices are good. No reservations needed, it was almost empty during dinner time on a Tuesday evening.
Sushi was fresh and flavourful. Server recommended some fresh deliveries of scallops and shrimp which were wonderful. Prices are reasonable and dishes arrived quickly. Certainly would go again but unfortunately live out of town.
