50 Best Sushi Bars near Daly City

“This might me my favorite sushi spot on the Peninsula! Everything we had was top-tier in taste. The service was fantastic as well. They gave me complimentary miso and gave us both some yummy salmon to try. This place is small so I anticipate a wait during peak meal times.“

“I had the signature rolls and a bento box, and everything was delicious. The rolls were fresh and well-balanced, and the bento was satisfying with great variety. Portions were generous and the flavors really hit the spot. Definitely a solid place for sushi and Japanese comfort food. I’d happily come back.“

“The Ashley roll a vegetarian option is just out of this world. We've come here so many times. today I I've decided to order something different for a change. Ordered their bento lunch box, salmon teriyaki, and it was also excellent.“

“Everything is good and fresh.“

“came here for their $38 sashimi omakase. which was really good and fresh. great for the price for the selection we received & portions. sashimi came with a side of sushi rice. we also got the truffle ramen which I though was okay but my daughter loved it. Also got the snow white roll which I though was pretty good also.“

“This is our regular Japanese restaurant that we come regularly. I usually order unagy fried rice, veggie dragon and caterpillar to share. My husband usually order a bento box with chicken karaage and beef teriyaki while mom would have a bento box of salmon teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. It’s always good. Considering we are regulars, the waitress was very surprised when we ordered the following. Today we ordered veggie tempura (yummy), miso ramen, honey tonkatsu ramen, and mother ordered Charshu ramen. Not bad. Soup was not salty and it was enough.

Wanted to have a lite dinner. We ordered: tempura morí, caterpillar roll to share, Charcui ramen, spiral ramen, tempura udon, vege ramen, and chicken don. Not bad. The soup was not salty. Portions was just right. We all finished our dinner and appetizer.

Update: 07/08/2025

Felt like noodles. We ordered: Seafood Ramen, Miso Ramen and bento boxes. We shared: Tempura Miro and Caterpillar Sushi. Yummy.“

“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!“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“Best Omakase in town.“

“I cannot say I had a bad experience. Everything was my favorite“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“Akiko’s Restaurant is a solid omakase spot that I’ve visited twice—once at the bar and once seated at a table—and the experience does vary depending on where you sit.

The bar seating clearly stands out. Portions felt more generous, and the personal interaction with the chef made a noticeable difference. Watching each nigiri being prepared and served directly to you adds warmth and intention that elevates the meal. The table seating is more comfortable, especially for a longer dinner, but the experience feels slightly less engaging.

Some of the nigiri were truly outstanding. The coffee-cured bluefin and the chocolate-cured ocean trout were both memorable and creative without being gimmicky. The toro tuna belly was also excellent—rich, clean, and perfectly balanced.

Same-day reservations were possible on both visits, which is a big plus for an omakase of this caliber in San Francisco. Overall, Akiko’s offers high-quality sushi and a reliable experience, with the bar seating being the way to go if you want the best version of the omakase.“

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️“

“Best non-traditional sushi that I've ever eaten“

“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!“

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

“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. 😁“

“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.“

“Emma ,Julio and staff great!“

“The food and service were so good. The server was so kind and nice! She made my night! And the sushi and other food was amazing. Super fresh! While it’s not high end ambiance (I almost didn’t walk in… so glad I did), the prices were right and everything was spot on. Highly recommend!“

“Don’t know how I just found about this gem in soma! Seems like not many people know about it. We were skeptical about the photoshopped photos and the name 😅 and the overwhelming 5 star reviews, but it was so legit. On a slightly pricier side compared to your average sushi restaurant but comparable to Akari and Kombu and we liked that they have so much more options.
The chirashi set was great, loved that they had oden as well. Area is sketch and don’t make our mistake of going to the sushi place next door!“

“A real gem! I’ve ordered take out here multiple times and dined in, both experiences are 5 stars.

Service staff is incredibly kind, quick and attentive. They really create a wonderful atmosphere for guests. Food is also amazing - a large menu with plenty of options and all of them delicious.“

“Good for lunch. Really value for your money. I had the sashimi lunch set and my wife had the chicken wing and salmon sushi set and both were really fresh and good. Will definitely come again ! Weekdays - reservations not really needed, but I've come by on weekends and you should make reservations.“

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

“Super yummy! Fresh and 😋. Right across the street from the Big Bus stop in Haight - hop off and give it a try!“

“I went to KEN for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The fish was delicious; so many new flavors and combinations; the chef was superb - talented and entertaining, with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable. I cannot say enough good things!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“This is one of the best spots for truly authentic Japanese sushi
We live nearby and order from here all the time — just call ahead, place your order, and take a nice little walk to pick it up.
Super recommended! 🇯🇵“

“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.“

“We had a fabulous experience at Nakama Sushi, despite the busiest time of the dining. Our greeter Crystal was very pleasant and sat us at a table by the window. The food was outstanding. We ordered Omakase Tasting and all the fishes were super fresh and sweet. What a treat. We also had a chance to speak with a gentleman by the name Benjamin who was very knowledgeable about the Japanese food, and gave us great insight into different regions/countries of Japanese cuisine. It was refreshing. Overall, it was a pleasant evening and we definitely will be back.“

“Great food and great ambience � � love it so much“

“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!“

“Exceptional service. Delicious, artfully presented omakase at a reasonable price point.“

“I have been here 5 times and always enjoy it! It’s a solid, intimate spot for high quality sushi. On my most recent visit Frankie was playing Renaissance by Beyoncé on repeat and the ambience had never been better. Immaculate music taste! Will definitely be back.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“Grrrrreat SUSHI, nice daily ordering menu, quick Service...and then there is wonderful BETTY. Always fun, friendly and helpful. Hip, hip hooray ❤️ Xenry & Bob“

“The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. It's in a great location in Fisherman's Wharf. I didn't eat out there, but the outside patio was warm and inviting. The sushi was fresh, my miso was great, and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned.“

“This is, hands down, one of the best sushi places I have ever been to regarding quality of food. If you're more concerned with atmosphere, it might not be for you, but if you're looking for incredibly good sushi, I can't recommend it enough.“

“everything went perfectly smooth, the chef was attentive and delightful to chat with! fish was fresh and delicious, every bite was full of yummy sensations, sake pairing was lovely as well! nothing but smiles and joy and happy bellies that evening!“

“I was told to check this sushi restaurant out because I very picky when it comes to eating raw fish. The hamachi was delectable buttery fresh just the way I like it. The service was immaculate the food was divine. The ambience was peaceful. The feng shui of the restaurant makes you feel like you are at home. I highly recommend the establishment to anyone who cares about clean food properly prepared. This is a must go to restaurant if you enjoy sushi. 10 out of 5 stars is my rating. I always over order when I enjoy my first course. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service that you receive.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“I really love this place! The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. 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!“

“I rarely leave reviews for restaurants but I couldn't not do it for Lion. The owner and her husband Chef Tom were so incredibly sweet; what would have been tricky to serve my in-laws and a fussy 1 year old ended up being the most amazing experience. The service was top notch and fast, the inside of the restaurant is fun and romantic, and on top of that, ALL our food was phenomenal - my husband and I agreed that we want to keep coming back and make it one of our regulars. Thank you Lion for such a memorable night for our family 💜“

“The best sushi place in SF…I am a sushi lover. The fish there are so fresh and the Uni are premium. From the sashimi to the Kobe beef, everything is top. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Eric and Phoebe are very nice and provide excellent service.“

“Our favorite sushi place in the Richmond District! Food is consistently delicious. We mainly do take out but occasionally eat in. We would eat in more if the bright white lights were changed to something to envoke a more intimate experience“

“Amazing 🐋🐟🐟🐬🐠🐟🐬🐋🦀🐟🐋🐋souchi“

“One of the best sushi/sashimi place in Bay Area. Their Ankomo is of best quality and best value. Also don’t miss out their gorgeous sashimi. Their sesame creme brûlée is also a must-order for me each time when I visit. Just off the Burlingame Ave, very convenient.“
