Share your opinion about Fenikkusu - Tapas and Omakase
One of our favorite dining experiences of recent memory! The atmosphere is so cozy and the food is truly exceptional. Standouts included the mentaiko udon, gyoza, asparagus, kimchee pork, and anago tempura but truly everything was amazing
No notes - it’s craft in the form of food. The sushi is delicate and memorable - probably the best hidden spot in SF
I’ve been coming to this place for several years and just get’s better and better! Thank You Chef George and staff!

The chef's passion and the welcoming presence of the staff create a memorable dining experience at this premier sushi destination.

The mini kaisen don is a standout on the menu, featuring a well-thought-out balance of sashimi rice, aromatics, and salmon roe. The mentaiko pasta is also a notable dish that many diners enjoy. While the Oxtail Pot is highly recommended by some, others have found it to be less appealing. The warm, romantic vibe makes it great for dates or catching up with friends. The staff and atmosphere receive high praise, especially for the quality of the Salmon Nigiri, which is described as smooth and magical. Guests often mention the freshness of the sushi, with real crabs and premium fishes, and appreciate the rice. The chef owner, Georges, is very accommodating and happy to help with special orders.
Many visitors highlight the soft, intimate lighting and cozy ambiance, perfect for a date night or a quiet evening. The nigiri is considered next level—fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. Some diners discovered new favorites like Horse Mackerel Nigiri, Kutuso, and Shima Aji, which they now crave. Every piece of sushi feels crafted with care and precision, reflecting the passion and expertise behind each bite. The overall experience is often described as one of the best Japanese food experiences in SF, especially for those who appreciate high-quality sashimi, miso walu, oxtail soup, and flame torched saba.
Overall, Fenikkusu offers a memorable mix of traditional and unique dishes, with a cozy and romantic atmosphere that keeps guests dreaming about their next visit.
