Atami Sushi Bar & Grill

"As a long-time resident in the area, I've explored the local sushi scene extensively, and Atami is a standout among its peers. Unlike neighboring spots that often overprice their offerings or prioritize alcohol over quality, Atami strikes a perfect balance. Their sushi is both well-crafted and reasonably priced. What truly distinguishes Atami is the warm and attentive couple who run the restaurant. They possess an incredible knack for remembering your preferences, making each visit a personalized experience. This level of care and familiarity is something rare to find. Atami has rightfully earned its place as a local favorite. It's not just a place to eat; it's an establishment where you're made to feel at home. The cozy atmosphere, the dedicated owners, and the consistently fantastic sushi all contribute to its exceptional reputation. If you're in search of outstanding sushi with a personal touch and affordability, Atami is the place to be."

"Staying nearby, I eat here twice. The nagiri was excellent and the decor is in harmonious taste, but above all I was welcomed as a solo diner."

"This place has some of the best sushi I've ever had and the atmosphere is extremely cute. The place looks like it's in a cute and cozy Japanese house. Food is all served on Japanese style plates. The chef is amazing and the service is excellent. The staff is very sweet. Everything we ordered was amazing but my recommendation is the maple leaf roll - seriously the best roll I have ever had. We had to get a second order of it because it was so good."

"The sushi here is super good. Really interesting combos of ingredients thoughtfully put together. Everything we had was high quality - even the tempura was some of the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant is clean, classy, and the couple who owns it are very sweet. Note portions are on the smaller side - 6pcs per roll - so just be aware you need to order more to be full and the bill will be a bit more than usual. We ordered 8-10 rolls + appetizers for 4 people and still left a bit hungry."

"The best things in life always survive, including Atami Sushi. We have been going to Atami since 1999, and this family run business continues to maintain high quality delicious sushi with a friendly comfortable atmosphere. Michelle and Wiley always make you feel welcome when you arrive and they remember your favorite selections. The sushi is always fresh, the service is quick, and Michelle always keeps the restaurant extremely clean. They have had a tough time fighting through the Covid shutdowns, so if you are in the neighborhood and want some great sushi in a cozy and friendly restaurant, you should stop on by and pay them a visit. Also, this is a rarity in SF, but they have several parking spots for those coming from farther away."
