“I was staying at the hotel right next-door. It was just a few steps away which was good because I did not rent a car. I got the chicken teriyaki and it was very tasty and it was filling as well. It’s a very good choice for a quick meal. It doesn’t stay open very late at night so you’ll need to make sure you get there before it closes. Not much for atmosphere so I took the food to go.“
“Nothing but good words about Shabu house, my favorite Shabu chain! Always hit the spot in every location I've been to because they're consistent with their flavor and quality. Staff is always so friendly here even when very busy.This location is relatively large compared to their other two locations in San Francisco. Great spot for parties/ large groups of five plus and more. They take reservations for larger groups but I normally come with one or two friends at most and get seated pretty quickly. I like that there sign in to join the waitlist is on a large whiteboard easily visible.I ordered the Large Individual Shabu Entree - lamb with spicy miso soup, and was already pretty stuffed halfway through, but everything was so good so I powered through it LOL. The entree comes with a large platter of thinly cut meat( cut to order), a large platter of vegetables including cabbage, spinach, mushroom, Enoki mushroom, carrots, and tofu and carb options including udon and rice included. I love that they give you the whole Sesame bottle now along with the ponzu sauce to refill at your own pace. I could literally drink their sesame sauce... it's just that good to me. I like to add garlic and green onions to my ponzu sauce, and sesame sauce in a separate bowl.Parking is a doozy here, hit or miss depending on what time you go and if it is a weeknight or weekend. There's residential parking on the same block as a restaurant and needed parking on the main road. The entrance of the restaurant is very unassuming, and tucked on a very quiet street.Great spot, awesome vibes, there's always sports playing at the bar. Save room for the complimentary ice cream. Lastly, big FYI, they automatically charge a service fee AKA tip (regardless of your party size).“
“An understated Japanese restaurant, the layout is accommodating, the seating is comfortable, tableware are authentic and elegant. The service is professional and attentive. The menu choices are plenty, every dish was delicious. Try the beef tongue, duck and eggplant along with the garlic edamame.“
“One of the most delightful meals in recent memory, thanks to the warm and attentive staff at Tuna Kahuna. We came in for Chef’s Table Night and enjoyed yummy dishes you’d expect to see at $$$$ restaurants at reasonable prices. We even brought our baby (we’re new parents) and they were very accommodating. This restaurant serves quality food, no frills. Can’t wait to go back!“
“This is a small restaurant, so a wait is to be expected in the evenings/on weekends. However, it's more than worth it! They have the best ramen I've tried in a long, long time, and the servings of meat and extras in their bowls are HUGE. Like heaping up out and over the bowl. Their sushi is also great; they put a large amount of avocado and fish in their specialty rolls, and everything is very fresh. Can't wait to try this place once I'm back in town!“
“This is great Japanese food and sushi. Recommend hamachi carpaccio and really anything on the menu. Service is a little disjointed, but still decent. Drinks are great too. Chef could do less guest fraternization, but if he's the reason the food is so good, whatever. The value is really good here, but another annoyance is that the menus and the tables are "sticky" - this is maybe not to say "not clean", but noticeable and shows staff is not instructed properly.“
“This restaurant has a nice homey atmosphere. They have tatami style seating which was really cute (but we didn’t get to sit there). The service is really slow but it was also really busy. The waiters were all really nice.The sashimi quality was really good, particularly their tuna cuts. They also had a lot of offerings that were sets, which I think seemed really worth it.There is a wide variety on the menu, but I highly recommend getting the Chirashi and any of their sashimi, particularly the tuna.I will definitely be back to try their other dishes, maybe something non sushi next time :)“
“Great food, wonderful service experience. You feel like family here. Food favorites include tempura udon, cherry blossom, hamachi carpaccio, mango tango. Even if you aren't a huge sushi fan there are several options to choose from. We can't wait to go back!“
“Quaint clean hole in the wall, tucked back in a business industrial park. Staff is friendly, attentive and the food is of quality with plenty of selections for anyone. I liked it so much I went for 3 evenings in a row, ate and drank something different every time. I went right when they opened at 5pm, go early, fills up quick on some nights! Worth it.“
