Amazing dinner and an absolute pleasure getting to know the chef. Once in a lifetime experience and some of the best sushi I've ever had.

Phenomenal experience from start to finish. The experience is very intimate with an amazing chef for every four guests. Our chef was Kevin and he went all out to make this dinner one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Hands down the best sushi I’ve had. Kevin also served us some sushi (he called it “advanced sushi”) I would’ve been hesitant to try on my own; but by this point Kevin had my full trust and he did not disappoint.
The price was concerning to me. I went back and forth on whether to book the reservation. In the end, I’m glad I did.
Fully recommended. Would absolutely come back.

SCAMMERS!!!!!! These people are scammers do not book here!!! They snuck 3 dishes we did not order onto our bill. They do not answer phone calls (goes straight to voicemail with a recording saying they don’t check their voicemail). They don’t answer emails. They just scam you and ghost. What an awful restaurant! Btw we go to a lot of nice restaurants, this is the only one we left still hungry. AVOID at all cost, there are better restaurants out there. They lost their star for a reason. Their ‘previous’ chef was actually fired for stalking a food critic for writing a bad but probably honest review. That should give you an idea what kind of people who own this place.

Super fun, tasty, intimate experience. We dined here for my sisters birthday, with chef Brian. He graciously answered all of our questions about the from what they looked like, so where they were from, to questions about how he got into the business. He was very detailed in showing us how he preps each piece and explaining the details of what each ingredient adds. We had so much fun.
My favorites were the ikura with monkfish liver, scallop, and the o-toro, but they were honestly all so unique and good!

Dinning at Ju-Ni was an extraordinary experience from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our chef Kevin is truly talented each course was a work of art, showcasing the freshest ingredients and masterful technique. Highly recommended whether your a seasoned sushi lover or trying omakase for the first time.

Had an amazing, enlightening experience with Kevin. The fish, on average was better quality than anywhere else I have tried and it's treated with exactly the type of snobbish respect I demand deep inside. The first time I actually enjoyed a raw scallop (and I've had many). The first time I actually enjoyed eating uni (and I've had many). The first time I ate mackerel that didn't have that strong fishy note it usually has (and I've had many). All in one experience. Mystical, life-invigorating. This is what food should be.
It's worth every penny and then some.

Had the best time celebrating my birthday with high quality pieces of fish! Thank you to the Ju-Ni staff for making it a memorable experience :)
The sushi was pretty good but this was way overpriced for what it was, expect better service and atmosphere and at least some appetizers for this price point. $600 for two people and left hungry. Only 10 pieces which is less than what others offer at this price point but I think they do it by design so you order more add ons

Anything with fatty tuna is my favorite, fish liver too, it was so creamy. The chefs were so sweet and humble. The hostess was so patient, polite, and attentive. Very welcoming and good atmosphere. Can’t wait to return. Just fyi, make reservations in advance, we made them last minute.

Incredible omakase that manages to perfectly land traditional sushi with unique new flavors. One of our favorite meals in SF!

Absolutely amazing experience, the best omakase experience I have had in SF, and up there along with some of the top Tokyo sushi restaurants. The degustation menu was top notch, but the optional ala carte selection with A5 wagyu, o-toro, and sea perch was just another level, highly recommended!!!
