"My go-to sushi place for a casual but cozy night. The food is well priced, the service is great. They play jazz, so it feels very homey and cozy."

"We had high hopes based on other reviews. Enjoyed the hamachi kama and the service was lovely even though there’s just one server for the whole place. However, the raw fish was terrible. We tried sashimi, rolls and both tasted anything but fresh and were cut poorly so that it was difficult to eat and enjoy. The fish didn’t taste like it was entirely bad, but it tasted like it had was on ice or in a refrigerator for too long. We had a mixture of more than five different cuts of sashimi and they ended up all having been imparted with that same fridge taste. The avocado in the California roll tasted expired as well. We brought all this to their attention and they made no effort to compensate for any of our disappointment and dissatisfaction. Would recommend looking elsewhere for quality sashimi. Hoping this was a fluke but won’t be trying it again."

"Great sushi, amazing environment, slow service. The place has an amazing environment. Inside has a calming feel and the place looks like you were transported into a restaurant in Japan. The service was slow, there was only one man making everything. The food took at least half an hour to receive if not longer. Despite a one man show behind the sushi bar, the food was great. The fish was refreshing and the rice had amazing quality to it. The sauces were tasty and blended well with the fish and rice. Overall great food and atmosphere, but slow service."

"Really friendly staff, authentic atmosphere (makes me feel like I’m back in Japan / Taiwan again!). Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but honestly this place is now one of my favorite hole in the wall go-to in sf for Japanese food! Highly recommend the unagi nigiri, super fresh and the rice is delicious too! Just be patient for your food to come out as they are understaffed (and working super hard)!"
