The hostess was horrendous. There was a line of people waiting and she was serving people. Totally unorganized and bizzare, never seen anything like it.

Wonderful place! If I could give 6 stars I would. Food is incredible and service top notch. The hostess was delightful. I can’t wait for my next opportunity to go.

This place is a GEM and usually packed. I was visiting and my awesome host took me here. I was very impressed from the atmosphere, friendly staff, and chef that delivered on a very tasteful meal.

Great sushi spot in the Hayes Valley. I found the service to be excellent, the sushi to be amazing, and loved the chill vibe. High end but casual. The have a fire happy hour. Guys at the bar and the the waitress were awesome. Highly recommend!

We had such a fabulous experience last night on our first visit to Elephant Sushi. The food is amazing--innovaative, delicious and presented so beautifully. We had the flaming sea bass (of course!) Be sure to order that. Also Hamachi kama (collar), salmon miso soup, albacore tatami, Walu Sashimi. The fish is unbelievably fresh! We can't wait to go back to try other dishes. Our server and our hostess were lovely, incredibly helpful and attentive. And the ambience was special--plenty of large windows with light and air and a fresh decor with vibes of fishing boats. All in all, a really wonderful evening that we will repeat many times. Don't miss this place!

Sushi excellent - very fresh and tasty with creative options plus standards. Waiter very helpful and knowledgeable. Only downside was noise which made conversation challenging, but not as loud as some. Perhaps turn off music when busy.

We started with Bubbles and Caviar and finished with green tea cheesecake, both of which stellar. A few other standouts were the Chef Ochko roll, and the Ya Man roll. The Hamachi on the Chef Ochko roll was so fresh and almost meaty and was a great contrast to the clean lightness of the salmon on the Ya Man roll. We will definitely be back
Definitely order Cool as a Cucumber cocktail. It's not too spicy and has lots of flavors that blend well together. Vegetable tempura was excellent and a nice light batter. Tuna roll was very fresh

We really like this place, which is perfect for an early dinner before the symphony. This most recent visit was a bit disappointing, however. Along with sushi and karaage we ordered the fresh uni. It didn't come until the end of the meal, which is a gaffe since it should always be served first so that the delicate taste and texture isn't impacted by the taste of other food (such as spicy salmon roll!) We suspect the server forgot to put the order in until we inquired about it. Hopefully the chef knows better.
really great spot in hayes, cozy and had all the best sushi pieces!

Bad service! While the food is good, the service is poor, as they brought us the bill without us requesting it and insisted on us paying it at least four times.

Bad service food average the waitress Brian O literally kick off people after they eat.We ate sushi and desert.The place location is good but you going to feel disappointed the waitress kicked off us 4 times for no reason; it was so umcortable since many tables were avalable and nobody in the enter side.Never go back there and do not recommend it.

While many items were creatively named, the food was disappointing. One exception was the miso soup which had the right balance of taste & not salt. Seemed like only one wait staff - so our oder took a long time, and we had to ask about a missing item. The decor is nice, and the price is reasonable.
