“Great sushi place on Polk. Nice bar counter seating. A few other tables. Intimate setting. Food is fresh and innovative. Great wide selection of different fish to choose from. Sushi chefs are informative and friendly. Only downside is parking is difficult in the area. Take Uber!“

“Akiko's at the Avery is my favorite spot in SF. Not just sushi. Favorite overall. I cannot wait to see what else Chef Ray and the team have been cooking up for us. I have a feeling a new location will be full of some deliciousness coming our way .... It's high end. It's quite space. It's perfect for a date night as well as business lunch. No other place in SF compares to Akiko's at the Avery...“

“My favorite sushi spot in San Francisco! Been here several times and it never disappoints. The caliber of sushi they serve competes with higher end places for a more reasonable price point with a super comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Love the local tofu, omakase nigiri tasting, Kuma roll, and any carafe of sake they recommend. Ryo and his team really puts in their best effort in all the food and service for customers. Highly recommend if you are looking for delicious sushi!“

“New Year dinner before the festivities and my first time here—so glad we chose this spot. We sat at the bar and had a great time interacting with the chefs, and I’ll definitely do the same every time I come back.
The sushi was outstanding—flavorful and beautifully prepared. We had sashimi that was incredibly fresh and mouthwateringly good. The rolls were fantastic, and the sake was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Customer service was stellar from start to finish.
This gem is one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the city. They also have another location in Oakland under a different name, which I can’t wait to check out. I’ll absolutely be coming back every opportunity I get.“

“The customer service is outstanding and the quality of sushi serves were delicious. The Chef prepared the plates well. I don’t think I can return to a regular Japanese restaurant after this experience. 😁“

“Enjoyed omakase 8pcs with some age dashi tofu, nigori sake and the white peach panna cotta!“

“I think this could make a fun date spot.
I thought the sets were reasonably priced, but maybe it’s because I’m comparing it to SF pricing.
Every bite was great, but I think next time I’ll ask for less rice or maybe even none.“

“Great sushi, perfectly prepared and presented. So glad I walked a few more blocks to go there. Small with a very friendly staff (my 2 Buddhi’s) made for enjoyable experience. Come to town at least once a year; plan to be back.“

“I think it must take a lot of effort to source the ingredients to be able to serve sushi of this caliber in San Francisco. It's a great honor to be a fishmonger.‼️“
“Wow!
I just went for date night with my daughter (back from college) and had the best sushi in the Bay Area!!!
The Omakase was superb!!! The highlight was hamachi with truffle and the unagi was the best I’ve ever tasted.
We also had the lion king (because which was “just right”!
Our server was terrific - she recommended the chef special, Ika Sugata (Grilled whole Squid with Jalapeño & Mango 🤩)
We also got the delicious Garlic Edamame and took an order of Matcha Tres Leche to go.
It wasn’t “cheap” but it was soooo worth it!!!
We will be back!“

“The handrolls were absolutely delicious. The staff were very attentive and the food came out quickly. There was enough variety to incentivize you to try the different options, but not so much that you would get overwhelmed. We went during happy hour and were very pleased with the experience. The restaurant is not very big, but it was not busy during our visit.“

“The miso soup was forgettable, but I enjoyed the sashimi (chefs choice).
The maki toll (spicy tuna) was quite disappointing, maybe we could’ve got something more flavorful and extravagant.
I think the real wasabi was a nice touch, and the fish was fresh but I think lacked in the presentation.“

“What a great evening we had at this wonderful restaurant! The food is so fresh and tasty and the staff are kind and welcoming and really nice to chat with. Everything we had was great, but I loved my Gold Rush roll - soooooo delicious! Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in SF!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was our favorite sushi so far in the city. The big lovers boat was really delicious, affordable and the fish was fresh and melted in your mouth. We also got a roll with some eel and tuna and one with lemon salmon cucumber and avocado. My one note for the lemon roll is i would prefer the lemon sliced more thinly as to not overwhelm the roll as much.
A highlight was trying monkfish liver for the first time. Im attaching a picture of a monkfish, they look crazy haha. The liver was delightfully presented - layered and but into perfect circles - and tasted rich and fishy. I didn’t like it at first but by halfway through began to enjoy the flavor. I think any taste can be an acquired taste if you try something. Id get it again“

“Excellent meal here. The miso sea bass was delicious, and the nigiri in the seasonal omakase was great. Wagyu nigiri was a standout. Our waitress/server was fantastic also! one of the best sushi/omakases in san mateo in my opinion! pricing is absolutely reasonable too.“

“I tried sushi toni on a work trip and it was so good I went back 2 days later. The next time I was in town I couldn’t wait to go back for more great sushi. And the staff are so nice! Get the cilantro roll and 49ers roll and you will not be disappointed!“

“Lion West Portal was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff helpful. The star of the show is an entire dedicated page of the menu for vegan sushi with a 90min AYCE option. The rolls were big and beautiful with lots of different flavors. This is a must visit if you’re looking for vegan sushi in SF. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-15“

“The food here was definitely the highlight. Everything tasted pretty fresh and flavorful, and overall I would rate the food about 4/5. The ingredients seemed good quality and the dishes were enjoyable.
However, the service was a bit disappointing. The staff did their job, but they didn’t feel very welcoming or friendly. There wasn’t much interaction beyond the basics, and with the price point here, I expected a more warm and attentive experience.
The atmosphere was also just okay. It wasn’t fancy or fine dining, but it also didn’t really give a strong Japanese vibe either. The environment felt a bit mixed and not very memorable.
Overall, I’m giving 4 stars mainly because the food was good. If I rated the experience as a whole (food + service + atmosphere), it would probably be closer to 3/5. Still worth trying if you care mostly about the food.“

“The best sushi meal you can get for around $100 for two people in sf! The staff is so nice and welcoming and you can’t go wrong with any of the nigiri - the salmon, ocean trout, soy marinated tuna and scallop are my faves. The double tuna roll and baked scallop rolls are also unreal“

It’s so close to my house, which makes it perfect for a nice walk with family or friends to enjoy some great sushi together. The atmosphere is cozy, and everything always feels relaxed and pleasant. Definitely one of my favorite neighborhood spots!“

“The best sushi I have had, comparable to the best in Tokyo. The rainbow is my favorite. Lion king partcularly rich in taste. Salmon skin salad has some salmon meat, too. Softshell crab was crunchy and good. Golden gate and others are excellent, too.“

“We love going here - it's sort of tucked away giving it a hidden gem feeling. The staff is warm, friendly and attentive. Sashimi is delicious and wonderfully presented. It was pricier than we expected but one wonderful thing they did for us was deep fry some of the decorations on the premium sashimi plate (the shrimp heads and the mackerel bones) - it was delicious and a nice, fun finish to the meal.“
