“ Went for my birthday last year and had an incredible experience. Even though they didn't have the wine we ordered, they made sure to find an alternative and poured with a heavy hand. Chef's service was amazing and was insightful to all of our questions. 10/10 experience. ”

“ Had a wonderful time at Omakase while they were hosting guest chef Hiroyuki Sato. The quality and diversity of fish, presentation and plating, ambience, and service were all first rate. The omakase experience here is deeply intimate, from the chef counter seating to the instructions to receive freshly made sushi with one's hands. I loved being front and center watching Chef Sato concentrate on his art, and Chef Yu helped make the experience delightful for everyone. Our server Jonathan was engaging as well - we really enjoyed the explanations of each sake during the pairing. The fish was exquisite (I didn't think I liked saba and uni before this, and each unique tuna was on a different level than the sashimi I'm used to!), the tamagoyaki and panna cotta were delicate, balanced, and not cloying, and I appreciated all the attention paid to details like sake/sushi temperature and the fresh ginger and wasabi. The experience was a bit of a splurge, but I feel that it was absolutely worth it for fancy omakase. For more of an everyday meal, I'm looking forward to trying sushi at their attached sister restaurant (Okane) sometime soon. ”

“ Incredible experience! My favorite Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco. It is a classic Japanese omakase with an elevated presentation. Loved the chutoro and otoro (tuna) cuts and the monkfish liver. I am not an uni girl but they get their premium uni shipped in from Hokkaido. The chefs are so charismatic and make the whole evening that much more special. I took my dad here for his birthday and he loved it! He even got a photo after with the tuna sword and chef! ”

“ For sure the best sushi I've ever had in the States. All the fish is imported from Japan and the chefs have extensive culinary experience. The restaurant has a very intimate setting with only up to 12 guests at a time. Each course was a culinary work of art and blew us away. My partner also did the sake pairing and really enjoyed it. The fresh ginger was strong but really added to the experience. I don't typically go for wasabi but the authentic wasabi here was different. It was also fun to watch the chef grind it in front of you! Definitely a spot to consider if you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience! ”

“ I hadn't visited since 2017, but despite the restaurant losing its star, the food remains outstanding. My top picks were the Kurumai Ebi (shrimp), Hokkaido Uni, and Ankimo (monkfish liver) -- all beautifully prepared and incredibly flavorful. We were fortunate to have Yuri as our chef, and he was exceptional. His detailed explanations of each dish, paired with his warm, natural conversation, elevated the entire dining experience. It was truly a memorable evening. ”

“ Was this dinner a splurge? Yes. Was every piece of food masterfully crafted? Yes. Was the service Michelin-level? Yes. Would I come back? Yes. Omakase is by far the best omakase I've had in San Francisco. From the quality of food to the attentiveness of the service to the relaxed ambiance of the dining room, I was blown away by my meal. The meal is a bit pricey at $245 per plate, but everything that we experienced throughout our 2+ hour meal was well worth it. It was almost magical watching Chef Alan beautifully craft each part of our meal. From torching our wagyu nigiri to topping our o-toro with caviar, the standard of what I should expect at future omakases was blown through the roof. Additionally because the dining room was so intimate, it was so easy to chat with the chef and other parties seated during our dinner. I will let the pictures speak for themselves for how high quality the meal was, but i definitely encourage to try this place out if you're looking for a quality omakase in San Francisco. ”

“ A 17-course meal with AMAZING service. I cannot understate how attentive, funny, and professional the chefs, servers, and staff are. For the steep price, I didn't think the seafood was the quality I was expecting. There were some dishes that we LOVED and others that I thought were kind of meh. Out of the 17 courses we received, I think around 40% of them were at the level of freshness and umami that I expected, and the others were probably akin to ones I could find at higher-level sushi restaurants. Some of the highlights I remember: + Wagyu Beef + Toro Cuts + Fried Shrimp + Yuzu Panna Cotta - absolutely loved, would've taken more home :) The ambiance of the facility is beautiful. It's very intimate with only about 10-15 seats in the restaurant total. A very memorable meal indeed! ”

“ My fiancee took me here for my bday dinner. Everything was fresh, delicious, and amazing quality. Every bite was magnificent and I was really full at the end. The servers and chefs were very attentive. They made the experience more fun. Everyone's water and gingers were never empty. The chef drew fishies in my birthday card which was a super personable touch. They even helped every party take a picture at the end of the dinner. Overall, experience was a 10/10. Highly recommend. ”

“ I was very pleased with my experience here. Omakase doesn't have a Michelin star but it is deserving of it! The ambience is very intimate and dimly lit. It only fits about 9-10 people. The hosts and the chefs were all very pleasant. I've been to the Shota in SF for omakase and I must admit, this place exceeded my experience there. Each bite was so delicious and they were very generous with their uni here. The hot dish with fish roe and uni was one of my favorites-- many of the dishes were. I highly recommend coming here and trying it out. Only thing I would point out that I noticed was the wasabi was a little bit more than what I'm used to at other omakase that I had to drink a lot of water to clear that spice off. But other than that, I definitely would come here again, even for $330. So good! Parking was not too difficult in this area. Very safe part of SF! There's also a nearby parking garage too. ”
