50 Best Sushi Bars near Corte Madera

“Pacific catch can be relied on to have decent fish dishes at a good price point. I do feel like the quality varies a lot though from visit to visit. This time the sashimi trio I usually get was very skimpy on the fish portion size while they gave me tons of rice that was cold. My husband's salmon was quite good. The hostess tried to seat us at the worst table in the place when good options for 2 were available. I hate this particular restaurant game but persist & ask politely to be be re seared, which she did. All in all decent but not as good as they have been.“

“We had asked for (in reservation )an inside table because the weather was quite hot. Upon entering the noise level was incredibly loud. The hostess apologized as there was a birthday party going on and we were seated in a closed off area that was much better, and a fan made it quite comfortable. Good service.“

“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,

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.“

“One of the Best Omakase Experience we had!“

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️“

“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.“

“awesome a must try, this is a hidden gem“

“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.“

“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!“

“Everything. Best of everything.“

“It was our first wedding anniversary and had the best time here. The vibe, the chef, the service, and of course the food were top-notch. I would never forget this place and everybody including the chef was very respectful and kind to us. Arigato gozaimasu Chef Toshiaki Ono and Sushi Hashiri. It was an unforgettable night. Thank you so much for everything.“

“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.“

“OPTIMAL! Following the other reviews we arrived at this small Japanese restaurant, almost invisible from the street. Excellent and well-groomed food. Very kind staff, very helpful both in advice and in customizing orders! A little dark but welcoming place!“

“Emma ,Julio and staff great!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

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

“We have been looking for these folks ever since they moved from Noe Valley. We were so happy to find them again. This is by far the best Sushi place in San Francisco 👌🍣“

“A charming sushi bar with an extensive menu and incredibly friendly service. The miso black cod was tender and packed with umami flavors, while the Deluxe Toro Don was absolutely delicious, featuring a generous selection of rich, melt-in-your-mouth fatty fish!“

“Delicious food, beautiful restaurant. Excellent service. Best chicken wings I've ever had. We had several different sushi rolls and the flavors were all delicious. Wish I lived in the area, that would be my place for sushi and chicken wings.“

“Fantastic food, great service!“

“After lunch, I was surprised that they didn't have more people eating in this establishment. This is a great place for a date or to come alone. The food is amazing 10/10. We had the omakase nigiri. 10 pieces of pure magic. The ramen just was amazing the best i had in san Francisco. The staff was amazing too. Definitely give them a visit. 10/10“

“Just popped in for lunch today and the environment was so sophisticated and relaxing. There was jazz in the radio and soft lighting and I was so happy to be out of the rain. The dragon roll was the best I’ve ever had and the service was excellent. What a hidden gem- I’ll be back!“

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

“The most amazing and traditional sushi near Golden Gate! I totally recommend this place!! You should come here, ask for the Nigiri Combo, you’re going to love it!!! The fish is VERY VERY FRESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can’t wait to come back to SF, to eat here again!!!“

“EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD IDK WHAT ELSE TO SAY!!! we came on a saturday night and was lucky to get a table after like 10-15 mins. atmosphere was alright but food was great. 2 of us ordered like 40 nigiris and 5 rolls and were so full after. you have to wait 10 mins before you order more nigiris and there is a 90-min time limit but it's not a big deal at all. totally recommend!!!“

“Wonderful sushi restaurant that’s been in Larkspur for many years for a reason. Chef, John Wayne and his wife Vanna do a great job of providing the freshest fish at reasonable prices in a cool family atmosphere. The Ferrari of sushi restaurants in Marin!“

“My wife and I had dinner here, we selected the omakase course dinner. This restaurant is in the omakase style, which means you leave it up to the chef to decide each course. If you look at their website you'll see the number of course choices. There are only 6-8 places so prebook, sometimes as much as two weeks.

This was some of the best sushi I've ever had and THE best waygu. The fish is very fresh and the chef has several home made sauces, pickles and clever presnetations to amuse your taste buds.

We will definitely be back“

“My favorite Japanese restaurant in San Francisco! A couple doors down from a killer Chinese bakery as well!!“

“The staff was really friendly and the food was delicious. The Hamachi (nigiri) was very soft and smooth. Also highly recommended their special rolls. If you like salmon, the 49er's Roll has a slice of lemon on top, making the taste very refreshing!“

“Tom and his staff is the best you can find, the sushi is to die for, always the best ingredients, presentation of food is creative and second to none. I go often as it is the best in San Francisco. Thanks Tom.“

“Awesome salmon and tuna nigiri.“

“The best sushi I’ve ever eaten (huge pieces!), the lowest prices I’ve ever seen ($5.50 for sake and hamachi), and the most friendly family staff I’ve ever experienced. It’s no wonder this place has been operating for 25+ years. So good I have to go back the very next day.“

“Simple and uncomplicated restaurant. We were on a visit to the Ferry Building and had lunch at this restaurant with quick service, affordable prices and fair flavor. Everything agrees. Nothing pretentious and a very good quality-price ratio. Recommended for quick lunches of sushi or Japanese food.“

“Is a very cozy restaurant, the price is very good, food also very fresh, very good,I will came back agin“

“Delicious fresh sushi and pleasant staff. $20.00 3 item bento box lunch special. Yummmmy“

“Made a stop here for dinner before heading to the airport! My boyfriend ordered the 3 item bento box and it was such a good amount of food for the price. He loved everything!! I had a Rainbow Roll which was super fresh and tasty as well ?Everything was so delicious and knowing I have nothing compares back home is pretty devastating! “

“Excellent sushi and service. Creative and fresh“

“Food is fantastic. I have tried many of their options and not a single thing was short of excellent. Everything is fresh, and the people working are kind. Top that with prices being on the more affordable side, and this place has become one of my favorites!“

“I inhaled most of the sushi. I called 10 minutes before they closed for pickup asking for a really good special roll. I remember she said something about tuna. I of course said yes as long as there’s no cream cheese or bell peppers. The sweet lady was patient and took my order.
Holy cow! Whatever this is with tuna inside and tuna outside… it’s freaking delicious! Kudos for a perfect roll. The rice is perfect, the tuna is perfect and whatever else is in there is perfect!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You’re awesomest!“

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

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

“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.“

“The exclusivity and attention to detail in this culinary haven were unparalleled. From the moment we walked in, it felt like an intimate gathering of food enthusiasts. The chef's omakase menu was a mesmerizing journey through sushi perfection, with rare ingredients and artistic presentations that left us in awe. The personalized service and wine pairings elevated the experience to new heights. The ambiance exuded sophistication and exclusivity. While it may be "Friends Only" in name, this is a destination worth befriending for an unforgettable dining experience.

Parking: Hard to find a street parking in the evening“

“We tried both Happy Hour and dinner in one visit—two very different experiences. Overall, the food was solid. The beer was nothing special, but the cocktails were great. Happy Hour is a better deal, while dinner prices are on the higher side.“

“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!“

“Great service and wonderful food, well worth a reference“
