My family and friends have been coming here for 20 plus years. Great food, great service, and the sushi is the star of the show. It's mildly pricey, but realistically it's not expensive either comparatively. It's just the cost of living these days is ridiculous. Best of all, Ariake never disappoints... The spicy QP roll, Maguro Mango roll, are some of our favorites... Enjoy!

Best sushi in SF. Period. The quality is top notch and the amount of fish per nigiri is unmatched. Selection is amazing as well. The chef has been in business for 26 years. He knows what’s up. I’ve been a patron for over 10 years and it’s still as good as ever. If you love sushi – especially raw sushi – you gotta try this place!

Sometimes you come towards a meal that just makes you sad cause you know it's gonna end. I knew this one would make me shed tears from the first bite. One of the best sushi I've had in the US (and I've been to a bunch of incredible ones in NYC and Chicago). Had the double albacore, moon dog and QP roll (scallops), and a salmon belly nigiri. Can't wait to come back. Incredible meal. 10/10. I miss it already. So sad.

Absolutely amazing rolls. We got the double albacore, the QP and moon dog and all were fantastic. These are far superior to most sushi places we've tried in our outside the city. Service was quick on a Saturday afternoon. Will be dreaming about this food until we can come back.

Such a secret gem of a sushi spot in SF! Took amazing care of me and my grandparents when we popped in. Highly recommend the island and cherry blossom. Also the vegetable tempura was fire!! Will be back!

Super lovely little sushi spot! Excellent selection of fish and menu, professional chefs, wonderful staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Shared some delicious Tataki, a Lion King Roll, and a Dragon Roll. Finished the meal with a tasty slice of green tea cheesecake and hot green tea. I can't believe it took me this long to find this hidden gem. I look forward to coming back!

Cozy neighborhood sushi spot with excellent quality fish and great staff. This is my favorite go to sushi spot in the city. You won't be disappointed.
I’ve been coming here for years and love this family run business ! They are always friendly and welcoming and the sushi is very fresh and tasty. I recommend the 49ers roll and the muguri mango. Really a hidden gem in the Richmond district.
