“We've been here twice and enjoyed it both times. The sushi was fresh and well made, and the Hey Girl roll was our favorite. We'd order it again in a heartbeat. The flavors were balanced, the presentation was beautiful, and the portions felt just right. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming, which made it a great spot for a relaxed dinner. One thing we really loved: they offer free ice cream if you're celebrating your birthday. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the visit feel special. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!”

“The best omakase and multi-course dinner I’ve ever had. We came to celebrate our anniversary here and a great time. The atmosphere was perfect and the food/fish were literally hands down the best I’ve ever had. If you want high quality omakase where every bite is the perfect blend and diversity of textures and flavors you must go here.”

“Taniku Izakaya is a great spot for skewers and a solid casual night out. I really liked the spicy scallop hand rolls and the takoyaki, and the food overall was worth the wait. It does get busy, and there was a line since reservations are only for a couple tables, but we only waited about 20–30 minutes. The vibe was lively, and everything felt well worth it.”

“We had Omakase last night. 2 of us. The food was sooo good, and lots of it. Several times during the omakase, we had multiple portions per round, with one even having 6 pieces. The scallop was my absolute favorite. Lots of great flavors to think through. Unfortunately I don't think the service and delivery matched the omakase experience or price point ($500 for 2). The 2 staff that served the dishes were very busy elsewhere which meant that every dish was delivered with a 5 second turnaround. They were already running to the next table by the time our plates were down and barely gave us any description or overview of what we were actually eating. Most of the time their back was turned to me when telling what we were served as they were already on their way somewhere else. That's totally fine for an a la carte experience but for an omakaze, the entire point is that the chef chooses your adventure and the chef/server explains to you what you're eating. So while the food was great, the delivery of an omakaze experience is definitely not worth the price point. I'd advise to sit at the bar and if full like last night, just do a la carte.”

“Some of the most delicious and creative food I've had. The omakase experience was well worth it for how thoughtful the menu planning was, and I highly recommend trusting the chefs judgement. Staff were kind and helpful, the building was cozy and clean, and the chef was clearly skilled and passionate in his craft. Watching him work was a highlight of the night, next to the wagyu and tuna belly. My only regret is that the food was so good, I barely remembered to take pictures.”

“This is definitely an insiders’ spot in San Francisco. It’s usually pretty busy from the street view so I decided to try it on a Friday and it was still busy. I don’t want to talk the place up. There’s no need for that at a five star restaurant. The proprietors of the establishment have their photo up with the Mayor. Word on the street is that this place is like a religion. The food was good. Changed my mind about a few things. Made me ask, what is food in San Francisco today? Would I go there again? Yeah maybe if I had 30 minutes on a Friday, but no and not because the experience was terrible, but because they had already mastered the art of business in San Francisco if not the world.”

“Hidden gem in SF. I had the sashimi omakasei, it’s technically 14 pcs, 7 set and 2 for each person, but I think chief give us 1 more for each. It’s amazing and super fresh, the otoro and the wagyu are unbeatable. The house selection sake is tasty and very good value too, highly recommend it!”

“We celebrated my brother’s birthday here, and it was our first time dining at Akikos. We had one of the best omakase experiences and would highly recommend it! The atmosphere feels luxurious and perfect for a special occasion or fine dining experience. I loved seeing how the entire staff worked together as a team, and the chefs were very detailed in explaining each dish and how it was prepared. The nigiri was exceptional, with noticeably high-quality fish and ingredients. We also met one of their hostesses, Shaina, who was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made our experience even better. Overall, it was definitely worth the price. We had such a great experience celebrating my brother’s birthday here, and we would absolutely come back!”

“First time. Friendly staff in a casual spot. Table and booth seating. Lots of options and we chose 2 rolls (Toro & Scallop) and a bento 3 item option (Salmon, Shaba, and Kaki). For the rolls, the tuna and scallop was fresh and melts in your mouth. The bento fishes were moist and good portioned. The kaki (oyster) was plump and nicely fried. Overall, a wonderful meal and a place that we will visit again. A solid option for all.”

“The appetizer course alone was worth the visit — miso-marinated grilled fish, crispy fried river shrimp, and inari sushi filled with hijiki rice. We also added sashimi and it was excellent too. Delicate, but with real depth of flavor. After that you choose from three mains; I went with the duck served over a soba-based salad, which was perfectly summery — cool, light, and refreshing. I am originally from Japan, and this genuinely felt like sitting in a ryotei back home. This was lunch, so I’m curious to come back for dinner next time!”

“First time eating here and we were delighted to find this ramen shop to add to our rotation. They offer unique fusions, like the ramen with kimchi and galbi. The portions are generous and with a lot more toppings than your classic ramen (where you have to pay extra for this or that). I could only eat half and had to bring the rest to-go!”

“We had a great experience here! The tuna was fresh and buttery and everything we ordered was delicious. Prices were very good for the quality. We also tried the chef’s Japanese sushi set. Not every type of fish was our favorite but it was a great way to try a variety of unique fish we hadn’t had before! The eel hand rolls were another highlight absolutely delicious! We came during Happy Hour so it was an even better value. The food came out quickly! We made a reservation in advance. When we arrived there was a tablet to check in but we were seated before we even had a chance to use it haha. Fantastic experience and we’d definitely come back!”

Remember the "ramen wars" a few years back? Well, we might have a winner. Jinya Ramen Bar is slurping up success, becoming the second-fastest growing full-service Asian restaurant in the U.S. In 2023, this Tokyo-born (and Los Angeles-based) chain grew by 30.2%, second only to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot. It's the only ramen joint to make it into the Technomic Top 500 restaurants list. What's their secret? Founder Tomo Takahashi reveals.
Rock N Roll Sushi, the restaurant chain known for its fun, rockin' American-style sushi experience, is kicking off 2024 with some big moves. The brand is continuing to expand out west, opening new locations in markets like Phoenix, Colorado Springs, and central Arkansas. "Our team has been hard at work — and it's paying off with truly rockin' results," said Chris Kramolis, Chief Development Officer.
The conveyor belt sushi chain Kura Revolving Sushi Bar has huge growth plans for 2024. The company just announced it will open between 13 to 14 new restaurants across the United States in its 2024 fiscal year.

"Our organization has demonstrated that it's more than capable of meeting that challenge year after year, and we're excited to keep delivering on that," said CEO Hajime "Jimmy" Uba.
