A decent sushi place in the Excelsior with some great daily specials. You can't beat $42 omakase.

This place is an absolute hidden gem of Mission Street. I went there once on a recommendation of a co-worker, expecting run-of-the-mill sushi... And I couldn't have been more wrong. This place is mind-blowing. The omakase is the best I've ever had outside of Japan, incredibly fresh, and the service is fun and friendly. Every time I'm in San Francisco, I have to stop at Amami because the trip just wouldn't be complete without it!

My one complaint is no vegan / vegetarian options on the lunch special bento box menu. The lunch special bento box is only for fish, beef, pork, and chicken. I asked for agedashi tofu to be the protein for my bento box and was told they'll have to talk to the boss, in the meantime, I had to order from the all day menu. I ordered the sweet potato tempura roll, which had a delicately crispy, pillowy soft bite to it - - lovely contrast along with the wakame su, which is a cucumber and seaweed salad, light and refreshing on this hot day! The next time I eat at Amami Sushi Bistro, I hope to see a vegan / vegetarian option added to the LSBB, fingers crossed!

BEWARE! I got the Sweet Heart, which is listed under vegetarian rolls, and lists contents as "assorted fried veg", but contained fried fish.... personally didn't have allergies or dietary restrictions, but for those who do, double check with the staff what you order.

I order the Omakase which was good for $42 but my husband was hungry and wanted a little more than 10 pieces, so he ordered a Deluxe “chef choice” sashimi for $64 and basically their deluxe version was just 1/2 of the plate was cheap common yellowtail & abacore tuna, and the other 1/2 was regular salmon with 2 pieces of thinly slivered salmon belly. No variety at all! Hey if you don’t want to give better fish for Deluxe sashimi then charged more to add them. Don’t use the word “deluxe” when you just use a boat load of mediocre meat with no variety. Looks like “chef’s choice” to them is to get rid of whatever cheap fish they have for the day! ?

Fantastic until they decided to add an extra $20 tip onto my card for takeout. Regular staff was off, new hires aren't good.
Parking: Hard to find parking, its on mission st.

This is the besssttt omakase I’ve ever had. Generous cuts of fish, perfectly seasoned rice and portions, beautiful presentation and a deep knowledge of everything sushi— from the fresh ginger to the fresh wasabi and the homemade soy sauce. Also cannot beat the price anywhere else. Go and go again!
Worst udon I've ever had. Should have just made a pack of ramen. Edamame was under cooked. Sashimi was awful. Whatever they put in the California roll was flavorless.l, like they rinsed it in water and set it to dry.

Very delicious and fresh sushi. We tried the chef omakase that was served on a plate. Fresh and taste good. Good service too. Highly recommended.
