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.“

“I KNOW you're sleeping on this place. It's absolutely delicious, you can truly taste the difference between other sushi spots. Everything about this place is incredible, try it out for yourself seriously.

Ladies, the bathrooms are even stocked with necessities. I felt seen.“

“Amazing experience. I went on a quiet evening. As expected, sushi was fantastic. I have been to Friends Only and wanted to try Akikos upon my next visit to SF. Had wonderful conversations with another guest and our chef. Sushi was tasty and attention to detail was 100%. The Toro, Zuke, Buri, and Uni were my favorite. It was so good, had to order a few more pieces. Will be back and thank you! 🙏“

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️“

“One of the Best Omakase Experience we had!“

“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!“

“We stumbled upon Sushi Hashiri because the mall was closed, which turned out for the best. Executive Chef Toshiaki Ono is an expert in his craft. The fish is fresh and flavorful, and the nigiri and rolls are exquisite. I’d recommend everything we ate, but my favorites were the goldeneye snapper nigiri, Hokkaido uni, and the tuna belly & takuan roll. Service was exceptional. I wish I knew the name of our waiter — she was so friendly and helpful. Kenichiro (Head Hospitality) was also friendly and so knowledgeable about the sake and whiskey. The pairings he suggested were perfect. The ambiance was lovely and unpretentious. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back. Next time we’ll try the omakase!“

“Everything. Best of everything.“

“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!“

“I ordered the Futo Roll, which was on their menu. The waitress explained that there was egg in it, and asked if I wanted the roll without it. As I am vegan, I was impressed! I appreciated that she was looking out for me! Excellent food and excellent customer service. Will definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“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 👌🍣“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I ate at Oma SF Station for the second time last week with my wife and two adult daughters. Like our first visit, the experience was outstanding. We have traveled extensively in Japan and are very familiar with traditional, small sushi bars. Oma SF Station is an excellent US version of a small Japanese sushi bar.

It is located in the Japan Town mall tucked away in obscure corner of the mall. Only 8 seats. We stay at the Kabuki Hotel next door several times a year so we find ourselves wandering through this mall and always notice Oma. During the day you will see large Styrofoam containers of fish being delivered. This is always a good indication that you will be having very fresh fish.

We had 4 in our party. 3 of us had the Tsubame menu (12 pieces) and 1 of us had the Sakura menu (16 pieces). The chef managed the mixed menu perfectly.

As this is a small sushi counter, you get to sit directly in front of the chefs and watch them do their magic. The chefs were very engaging and entertaining. I love interacting with sushi chefs.

As for the food.....it was outstanding. Very fresh, great variety and lots of creative preparations. The set omakase menus were really great. I was also able to add a few ala carte items at the end just to top off.

The chef and host were also very knowledgeable about the sake offerings. We enjoyed two different bottlings.

If you want to experience a Tokyo style small sushi bar experience with outstanding food (in the United States), give Oma SF Station a try.

We will be back on our next visit to SF.“

“Awesome salmon and tuna nigiri.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Superlative. See my picture post. Ichiban!“

“I stopped by here to grab a togo order after shopping in the complex here. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was well packaged when I came to pick it up.

The udon was perfectly cooked, the broth was flavorful and well seasoned, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and tasted very fresh.

The baked fish dish was also excellent, well sauced and seasoned, and my kids enjoyed it! This was a big win because of how picky they tend to be.

The sushi rolls were well constructed and flavorful. I personally prefer a little bit more sushi rice in my rolls but the style here is a pretty standard ratio, so it's still good.

I will say the prices are on the higher end for sushi places, but given the location this isn't particularly surprising. I still felt I got appropriate value for my money, and I will return the next time I'm in the area, which is probably the best recommendation I can give :)“
