“This place offers delicious food coming out of an adorable (and clean) sushi spot, and has a positive, communicative staff.
I purchased the Half-Baked roll (to-go), which I suppose is their version of a Lion King roll, except that it doesn’t have the cucumber. It has avacado.
Notes: There was more than an adequate amount of wasabi and ginger with my order, which I appreciate. Their to-go presentation and takeout packaging overall is one the cleanest, and best, I’ve ever seen.
Thank you,
C Mars
10/30/24 update: i ordered a roughly $12 with tax salmon avocado roll after hitting the gym at 24hr van ness and it was delicious and refreshing, a bit lighter when I don’t want the spicy mayo sauce on the half-baked. ?“

“This is a really upscale place that only serves omakase for $250 per person. when you factor in tax and tip it comes to $350 per person. although the service and quality are very good, I have has this type of omakase in various places around the country and I think the price is way too much. I think it is worth $150 per person. the meal was great - I Just don't think it's worth the price. the Nigiri was excellent. wasn't a fan of the desert and several of the appetizers I didn't like either. the quality of the fish is amazing.“

“-The quality of the fish is very good and tasty. They know how to combine and play with the ingredients
- the price is too expensive for what you get
- the service is average. Our server is very friendly. However, we arrived a bit early for our appointment, the server told us to wait for 10-15 min for them to get a table ready since the customers at that table about to pay.We waited for more than 30 min outside, watching new customers came in and out. The server knew we were waiting outside at the door. Then we went inside just to see why they took new customers and saw there were multiple empty tables. It's quite weird when they have available tables and still let us wait outside. It took us a while to get the server attention at the door and also at dining.“

“I've had better Sushi but this was absolutely high level. I had a select Chirashi Bowl and she had 8 pieces of chefs choice nigiri. We had tap water to drink and a tofu appetizer. $168 after tip. So I felt a bit shaken down. I was hoping it would be that ridiculous high level that you never forget. This was just high level but not full tilt world class.. parking was a PITA.. but it is everywhere pretty much. Not sure I'd return.. I'd look for a more traditional place in Japan Town next time.“

“Unassuming- soon to be addictive. So just about the best kept Secret on Union Street- I am sure to come back, again and again and it is just hiding in plain sight! restaurant. If you can't get to Japan try this- Excellent quality, unusual rolls and exceptionally fresh- crunchy and tasty. High quality. High end details. Like the chef and his no nonsense approach. One Wish- that they would include side of wasabi though with to-go orders.“

“A true gem in downtown SF! Came on a week night and was half full, with some takeouts here and there. May not need to make a reservation if weeknights. I was astounded by the variety of the sushi rolls, sashimi, and the appetizers. The octopus wasabi and agedashi tofu were fantastic, the octopus was very fresh I could eat a big bowl! I devoured my sashimi, sushi and roll set and wanted to come back for more!“

“We really liked this place! We were the only ones in here, with a window seat view to people watch. We got the cherry blossom roll, spicy rainbow roll, miso soup, chicken karaage, gyoza, endamame, and some nigiri (we were hungry lol). The cherry blossom was a bit plain in taste, but other than that everything was really good. The karaage was not to over fried, and the portions of fish were great.“

We ordered the Castro, Toro Toro, Spicy Tuna rolls and a pair of blue fin tuna nigiris and everything was outstanding.
The service and ambience were also 10/10! This has probably become my favorite sushi in SF, we’ll be coming back many times!“

“My sister took me here for my first time because I'm from out of town. The head sushi chef was a great character! He knew my sister and was very engaging and treated us to some wonderful selections. I would highly recommend this place. We sat at the bar. They could have been a little quicker on the sake ? but we were pretty quickly consuming it.“

“My family has been dining here every couple weeks since it opened 3 years ago. The owner Paul always greets us and does some special things for the kids: salmon sashimi in bite sized pieces and steamed tofu. Our favorites are negima, the local halibut nigiri, agedashi tofu (I would argue best in the city), grilled butter fish, and okra. All washed down with Echigo lager and our favorite sake Drunken Whale. Highly recommend for a casual but delicious meal“

“We were in the back room and the lightning is horrible for a nice birthday room felt more like the cheap school cafeteria room, with a camera right on your food and the seats, omg those seats, we all left with sore butt cheeks . No pillows nothing just a hard wooden board . Table so big you cannot stretch your arms long enough to get the food from the person sitting on front of you. Next time I'll make sure we seat inside the restaurant and in one of their regular tables. Overall, Food is great really tasty and well prepared. I had one of the best butter fish sushi I ever had. Amazing Sake selection.“

“This is the best sushi restaurant on Pier 39 in California. The prices are not expensive and we only use fish supplied that day. This is the only sushi restaurant run by a Korean, and you can even eat kimchi if you speak well.
Parking: Paid street parking is available at the end of Pier 39th Street, but is not recommended.“

“Love the water sushi boat carrousel, but very limited seating. Recommend coming at opening to avoid wait. Very close seating and narrow walk ways. Food is solid for verity and turn out. Can't be afraid to speak up for check, water, special rolls, etc.
Parking: 26 slots for sushi boat carousel“

“A wonderful evening at Okoze with Jason, doing a vast taster session for us organised by some amazing friends.
Some of the freshest ingredients I’ve ever tasted!
From crab, to tuna, to prawn, to scallop, to wagyu, to pickled plum and a wild array in between this was a fantastic evening and wonderful meal. A special shout out to the prawn tempura we started with, so crunchy but so light! Plus the wagyu that melted like butter!
Highly recommend a visit to Okoze for truly beautiful and tasty food.“

“This has been my go to sushi spot since living in Snohomish for the past few years. Akisan is the main sushi master and he was always fun to talk too. All the staff is very friendly and attentive. The rolls are very fresh and generous portions. I always get the salmon lemon roll and Philly roll and it's great for the price. I took my daughter there for her birthday and ordered her the banana tempura ice cream and they took it off the check and put a candle and lit it for her. Definetly recommend for sushi rolls!“

“This is my cult favorite sushi spot in San Francisco. Do you want to support a small business? Feel like mom n pop restaurants are dead?
COME TO HOT ZUSHI, it's cozy, and the green tea is perfection. Connie and her husband are a kind, efficient, duo that spin up fresh sushi every time.
We come to Hot Zushi monthly, take our friends here, and visitors. If there is a wait, since there's only a dozen tables - promise it's worth waiting for, just grab a drink across the street at the Woods.
We haven't tried anything that wasn't great but here are our favorites we rotate:
- House salad is a MUST
- Edamame
- Miso
- cucumber salad
- wakame (seaweed)
- Hamachi lime
Jalapeno tuna
- big team
-Big poppa
- chronic
- smashing pumpkins
- tiger
- any sashima“

“After a visit to Ocean Beach I found this place and it has been quite a discovery. A shame I didn't find it sooner! Delicious sushi with a large amount of fish inside at a very good price. Also the teriyaki salmon is very delicious and a very well served dish at a good price. Excellent service, very friendly. They serve miso soup as a starter. And the prices are super good, they don't seem like they're from San Francisco.
The bathroom is also very clean. If I were in this city for more days I would repeat without hesitation.“
