I was skeptical at first as I wasn't sure if the sushi was authentic, but regardless of authenticity or not, the food was all so flavorful and delicious.
It's not cheap but the dining experience was worth it.

This place rivaled, if not exceeded, the best sushi I had in Japan. Beautiful interior and amazing service complement absolutely exceptional sushi. The Ya Man roll was my favorite.

Me and my parents ate at this sushi restaurant before watching a ballet. First impressions were very nice, it has a modern atmosphere and the dishes and ambiance are nice. Drinks were really delicious, they have a great drink menu and good variation. Appetizers took a while to come out, I received my miso soup before any of the actual appetizer dishes. We ordered two rolls (White Out, Ya Man) and the Omakase Nigri Plate (10 pc). Rolls arrived before the Nigri. The fish atop the rolls were very warm, which was a bad sign to me. Fish has to be stored at a specific temperature to avoid bacteria, which is usually cold, so warm fish is a sign of unsafe storage. The Nigri arrived, and the waiter showed us through the various pieces. They were quite attractively placed and presented. However, the taste was not as exciting as the presentation. There was one piece that had a blue tinted fish that seemed exciting, but tasted sour and almost rotten. One thing I must emphasize is that throughout all the fish pieces, the rice tasted as if it had been sitting around for a while. It didn’t taste fresh and fluffy, and didn’t look it either. Although the restaurant atmosphere was nice, there was nothing to stop the cold air coming through the large glass door. I was very cold while I ate and had to put on my coat while sitting. I wouldn’t recommend dining at this place.

We’ve consistently had an amazing experience here. The sushi tastes amazing, drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere is great. The Flaming Seabass Roll is a must. By far one of the best sushi restaurants in SF. Highly recommend! Also don’t forget to save room for dessert, they’re all amazing

Delicious. The rainbow roll just melted in my mouth. The grilled hamachi was tender and moist on the inside, crispy and seasoned on the outside, and came without a single scale. Wow.

The atmosphere is very quiet, the service was fast and they advise you very well! They have a vegetarian option and the dishes we ate were delicious

The place is absolutely foreground and well decorated. The food is a more Americanized Japanese food, and Japanese fusion, which is definitely what some people are looking for but not me. Overall, I had a good time.

We loved our experience last night for dinner!!! It was our first time dining at the elephant sushi and it was incredible! Fish so fresh creatively plated and most of all delicious!!! The service was impeccable, personable, and professional, with a really great happy vibe!!! Thank you, Jeanine

Food taste is good. However, service on a Monday night was very sub-par. Waiters seemed to be in a bad mood. Our starters took ages and only 3 of 4 came out. The 4th along with the mains didn’t get made even after multiple times checking with waiters. We ultimately left, and finished our dinner elsewhere.
So good!
