“ Best sushi I've ever had. Came here on a recommendation to sit at the bar and Roger was great. We sat down and Roger asked us to go into the experience with an open mind. We thought we would order a few rolls and take his recommendations but that was not the case. We ended up having a 10-14 course omakase experience and it was great. Each one better than the last and everyone at the bar was having a great time. What we thought would be a 30 min dinner turned into a 3 hour fully immersive experience. Some of the freshest fish I've ever had and definitely a treat. There weren't any prices at the beginning so we had no idea what to expect but with the quality of the fish and the knowledge from Roger it was worth the experience. Expect around $300 for 2 people. That included all 10-14 courses plus drinks (we had 2 beers each). ”
“ Experience at the bar was amazing Food was impeccable. Never had such an amazing time eating seafood before. Changed my mind on how icky uni used to be and how amazing it tastes when prepared just right. Taken on a mouth watering and mouth orgasmic ride. So many courses I tapped out before the end Will definitely be back to make it through the entire course. Thank you!! ”
“ Great service and all star quality sushi. The sushi is always fresh and hits the same each and every time. Hands down the best toro I've ever had in SF. ”
“ This place is authentic and provides excellent quality fish. They have daily specials with unique fish options that vary daily. Friendly staff and nice spot with Japanese decorated interiors. ”
“ Delicious Sushi, sitting at the bar with Roger makes it an evening to remember. Pricing is honest for the quality of the food but worth every morsel ”
“ Sat at the bar and Roger gave us an unforgettable night of classics with unique twists plus rare and one-of-a-kind dishes. From the delicious and perfectly paired sake to the specialty hand roll (one of the best I've ever had), toro flights including aged toro and kama toro, to the wagyu nigiri with shaved foie gras, halibut and shaved monkfish liver, and perfect finish with dessert, this was our first but will not be our last time stopping in. ”
“ My go-to casual sushi spot in a neighborhood with many solid choices. Dinner here is no-frills, well-priced, and fresh. The service is quick, and we were given a small bowl of complimentary edamame. On my recent visit, we ordered the following (~$60 without tip): - Agedashi tofu - SO good, light and crispy - Best handrolls (off-menu) - must order, delicious softshell crab & spicy tuna - Caterpillar roll - Romeo & Juliet roll ”
“ Sat at the bar for my wife's bday omakase dinner and Roger, the sushi chef/owner, did not disappoint! Some of the best fish I've ever had, great conversation as well, Roger is very knowledgeable! Some of the major highlights. 2 kinds of uni on soft tofu (Roger prefers it this way and wow it's good), yellowtail nigiri, blue fin tuna a few ways , soft shell crab hand roll and last but not least a5 Japanese wagyu nigiri with shaved foie gras! Had about 15 courses each, came out to $200 each and that's with a big bottle of sake, tax and tip. Worth every penny! 10/10 ”
