50 Best Sushi Bars near Larkspur

“I was impressed by the freshness of all the ingredients, nori, fish, rice. I could not pay more but I was still hungry so I went another sushi place. There I got full, but the taste at Keiko is why you pay more. The authentic Japanese restaurant seems like it has died, as the cost of doing business is severe. There is no Japanese mood, Japanese chefs, but a few places have Japanese head waitresses. It is not the same as eating sushi in the old days. Nothing truly Japanese about sushi, served by Latinos, with classic jazz. Keiko is closer to authentic. Closer, expensive, still not really Japanese. Amerkatasdeska…“

“Miso soup was good; not super flavorful but at least not overly salty like so many. Donburi was served in a flat plate with protein on top, rather than in the traditional bowl. I like the change; easier to get a mixed chopstick full of protein and rice. There is a lovely outdoor space where you could enjoy watching the bike path traffic but unfortunately it was not usable during my visit due to yellow jackets.“

“this is my favorite sushi place and i have lived in the bay area my whole life. they have the BEST ginger dressing in the world. i even use it to dip my sushi in. the chef johneth is very nice and knowledgeable, he even walked me through how he hand makes the dressing so i can do it at home! love the atmosphere, indoor, outdoor and bar seating. small, cute, clean, comfortable and overall nice.“

“Food always exquisite. Excellent service. Consistent food quality. I visit at least twice every time I’m in town!“

“Everything. Best of everything.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“It is a simple dining room with some outdoor tables too. The sushi was fresh with lots of options. It is an extensive menu, not all sushi - but that is all I was there for. Convenient location to The Fisherman's Wharf area, doors down from Argonaut Hotel and less than 1 block from the Cablecar station.“

“The best sea bass and the best sushi 🍣 Love it“

“Found Sushi Tri while looking for ramen spots in Novato, but went for the sushi and wasn't disappointed. Went to dinner with our younger children(5+7), and there were other families there. Great menu selection with good prices, and quick turnaround on sushi dishes.“

“Best sushi in the city. The chefs are super talented and the waitstaff are always great. Food is top notch. Good selection for different fish and apps. I usually go for omakase, but sometimes the kira kira or ninja roll. The atmosphere is not too loud. You can usually find parking within a couple blocks.“

“The best sushi place in the city!! Quality of food is 10 out of 5......“

“Totally understand why this place has such a high rating!
Sushi was amazing, the wait was a little long, but if you’re on a date totally recommend, I ordered sushi and another thing ( don’t remember the name, but it was delicious),
And the fish feels sooooo fresh!
Definitely will be returning back,
Make sure to make reservation, it’s super easy, since the place is small if you come in a group might be challenging to get seated immediately,
Definitely will be coming back! 🫶🏻“

“Love this spot! Food is amazing (especially love the gyoza and hand rolls) and they're super nice and go above and beyond with service. I'm a vegetarian and accidentally ordered the meat gyoza instead of the veggie gyoza tonight, and when I called to confirm that it was meat Stan offered to deliver the veggie gyoza to me right before closing, even though it was my mistake“

“Muy recomendado para cualquier ocasión y la atención es excelente !“

“Even after a 4 year hiatus (work relocation) Tajikistan San greeted me at the door tonight with "So good to see you, two chicken bento, extra dressing!". Arigatou's is world class.“

“Omg! The Ribs are amazing!“

“We went during a happy hour and ordered the Lion King and Spicy Tuna rolls, fried tofu, hot sake and cold beer. In addition to the insanely good quality of the food, the price came out to $60 total. You get excellent food for low prices. This should be your go to for sushi in SF!“

“This is a great little place to have sushi for lunch. I ordered a salmon teriyaki box and there was a generous portion of salmon, rice, salad, and veggies. My husband had a sushi box and said that it was very good. The prices are reasonable considering the location. The restaurant's very small so there's not much seating but it's possible to use a couple of picnic tables outside.“

“Quality is key with any meal. Roger-San is all about quality. Sit at the bar if you can!“

“Loved everything there, especially my daughter. Will always come back!“

“Excellent sushi and service. Creative and fresh“

“Eating is a kind of happiness, taste is a kind of interest“

“Dinner started off strong with flavorful chicken and beef skewers, and the salmon kama was a highlight—perfectly cooked and delicious.

The rolls were less impressive. The Rock & Roll and Spider rolls were drenched in eel sauce, which overpowered everything. I’m always a bit cautious when sushi comes heavily sauced—it feels like something’s being covered up. The sushi rice was also a bit soggy.

The uni, saba, and hamachi sushi were all fresh and enjoyable, though the uni portions were smaller than expected.

Bill came out to over $150. A little pricey for what we got, but with smarter ordering, I’d give it another try.

4 stars“

“Was here on Christmas Eve, and the food, service, and ambience couldn’t have been better. Had clay pot dishes, both beef and tofu, assorted nigiri, Dragon roll - all wonderfully fresh, edamame, a shrimp tempura roll, and sake. We we all delighted. Thanks for adding to a beautiful Christmas Eve!“

“My wife loves sushi - me, no thanks. But I am happy to dine at a restaurant that also serves Tempura. We found Sakura Sushi and I saw they did In fact have other choices besides sushi on their menu. We visited on a weeknight and were seated immediately. I liked the vibe and feel of the restaurant and the person who sat us was friendly. 

After a few minutes we placed our order - I had the Tempura Dinner and my wife ordered the nightly special with Nigiri.

We both ordered a beer which arrived shortly after our order along with Miso Soup. It was a good Miso, with long strands of mushroom that I had not had before. The Tempura Dinner had 3 pieces of good sized Shrimp and a variety of battered and friend vegetables. My wife’s special had an assortment of Nigiri Sushi which she really enjoyed. Prices were reasonable given the portion size, flavor and service. I would happily return to Sakura Sushi for another meal.“

“Superlative. See my picture post. Ichiban!“

“Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Perfection. The attention to detail and the warm service was great from the jump. The entire 17 course meal and sake pairing was one of the best meals that we've ever had. I don't say this lightly, it was flawless.“

“A friendly and placenta place , I like the variety of dishes to choose .“

“Very nice place, layed back, steady late lunch crowd, The server Rosario very helpful. The 4 piece shrimp tempura almost a meal in it self. Comes with edamame and a big serving of good Cole slaw. Good Rainbow roll. Very good value for the money. Would come again.“

“We narrowly missed a 45 minute wait here last week for my birthday dinner. No problems sitting at the bar - service was quick and wonderful. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully designed. I loved the super nova roll and the ocean roll, my partner liked the special roll. We were offered the typical (complimentary) wasabi and the fresh wasabi. My partner said the fresh is much better and worth ordering. We found the prices here to be reasonable especially considering the quality. We can't wait to go back!“

“woah. i dont really say real deal but real f***** deal. well balanced. superb quality. exceptional service and presentation. clean flavors. first time I have actually been left utterly speechless. 5 stars. 5 forks. whatever. this place is the jam......“

“Excellent food, excellent service. We loved it. We had Shrimp Tempura Roll, Sexy Roll, Edamame, Miso Soup, Kirin Beer. Can’t wait to go back again.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff“

“Sumo crunch and passion fruit ume was delicious. Messy but delicious. Could only eat half, but had a cute box to go.
Really great service too. Helpful when I decided to add a drink last minute. Very quick from order to receiving my order.“

“9 items 🍱 bento & udon are awesome 👏“

“First timers here, but it won't be my last. Absolutely one of the freshest and most tasteful sushi restaurants I have been to in a long time. I ate 6-7 dishes (try the scallops special off-menu), and everything was fantastic. The owner and her staff are very gracious making the dining experience even more pleasant. Go try it. You won't be disappointed.“

“What an amazing place for sushi. I was town and a local suggested this place an I was not let down. I started with the spicy garlic edemame which he's a great kick of spice. I them had akani red tuma dashing and a flame roll. The sushi was perfect and the spice of the flame roll was squelch with my Nigerian sake! I could eat at the this place daily.“

“I was looking for a good sushi spot nearby and oh…my…this place was so good!!! The sushi was ON POINT. Ingredients are top quality, the fish was excellent. I also had their wagyu tartare and it was so amazing as an appetizer! Will definitely be coming back here in my future trips to downtown San Francisco!“

“Amazing experience Superb Food! A Must Go and a definite Must RETURN!“

“December 2025 Japanese handroll bar restaurant finally makes it to the SFO area. This single roll by roll process with special attention given to each roll makes dining here an omakase feel.

Depending on the person making the rolls, the process is highly personalized but the menu makes for a simple way of ordering and knowing what to expect.

The counter and bar style layout creates opportunities to socialize and be more approachable to the server as well.

The service is very prompt and attentive

The layout feels casual and very spacious

Ideal for quick bites and very small groups“

“excelente comida, maravillosa atención. lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Spicy tuna roll: A+
Salmon toro: A+
Albacore: A+
Ya Shi Xiang boba tea: A+

Tried their spicy tuna once at a booth during a recent festival on Grant ave. Had to go try more at the restaurant after that.

Nice people, quick service. Very small restaurant with limited seating however, so if you are with a larger group of people you might want to get it to go.“

“This authentic Japanese food was delicious and beautifully served. The cocktails were wonderful. The staff was attentive and really nice. We throughly enjoyed our evening here.“

“This family-owned gem is one of my favorite spots to visit. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. There's no sense of rush or over-attention, just a relaxed and pleasant vibe.

The menu offers a great variety of options, both cooked and raw. We started with miso soup and sashimi, paired with hot sake as an appetizer. For dinner, we enjoyed the Scope Special, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spider Roll, Dragon Roll, Lucky Stars, and finished off with the Chef's Special Roll. The fish was fresh, and every dish was absolutely delicious.

My friends and I had a blast, enjoying the food, sipping sake, and catching up, all without feeling rushed. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this hidden treasure. It's the kind of place that you'll want to return to again and again.“

“Excellent Customer Service and Very Accommodating of my Shellfish Allergy. Ask for Michael if you need suggestions!“

“We ordered the Seared Ahi tuna sandwich ($20) and the happy hour Original Ahi poke ($10), it was so good I couldn't take a picture fast enough before it was eaten. Absolutely amazing service, they checked on us a few times throughout our meal to make sure everything was good, and he was very helpful. Blown away by our experience and can't wait to come back“

“Tokyo Express, back in the early 2010's, used to be really popular with a line during lunchtime. Some of my old co-workers used to enjoy coming here. Business has sure when downhill since the pandemic. There was only one other table occupied at lunch time on a Wednesday. The staff was really busy however packing up to-go orders. I had their Wednesday special, the tonkatsu $13. The pork fillet was a bit dry and not juicy, tender and properly cooked. The panko had a nice crunch. It did come with an alright tonkatsu sauce. With this dish, it should come with shredded cabbage served with a miso-ginger dressing or Japanese sesame dressing, but it didn't come with it. Since this is not an authentic Japanese restaurant, I didn't knock off stars for that. Service was non-existent as this is an order at the counter style restaurant and no tea or water was served. There was a free cup of miso soup and my food came out in a reasonable amount of time.“

“I will drive over an hour from Sacramento just to eat here. The menu changed a bit since I got hooked ... my favorite dish (appears to be no longer available) was the chimichurri bowl with grilled salmon over a bed of salad greens and quinoa. Still, it is a wonderful experience to dine here.“

“I have been here 3x now and have had great food and great service. Mix and match Bento Box and Tempura are fresh. Everyone else around me always gets Sushi and I hear them say how good it is (I have not been adventurous enough to try Sushi). It is on Pine and Grant, extremely clean and nice view of Chinatown. Very reasonable prices. :)“

“Excellent Asian food and super friendly. Almost an insider tip! I can only recommend it!“
