This is a high end Sushi place in San Francisco.

Sushi was good, but small details matter. You will spend a lot of money here, but they won't give you an extra empty cup if your partner orders a tea. This means that you end up sharing a single cup in a high end restaurant (I don't mind sharing a cup with my wife, but I find it comical having to discreetly share a cup a of tea in a Luxury restaurant)

Beautiful restaurant for an evening's entertainment! The short Omakase tasting menu had 19 different items!!! They were all so varied and delicious! I especially loved the savory umami custard with tobiko fish eggs. The sushi was amazing and each had a different topping such as wasabi or shiso or ginger and chives. The sake and tea were also good. I loved the yuzu/shiso sorbet!

Food was delicious, service was amazing. We did the 18 course, in hindsight 13 courses with the wagyu add- on would have suited us better. Every bite was delicious, but it was a bit too much food for us. An excellent experience!

Took my sister for her birthday meal for an 8PM dinner seating!

Booking: book via tock...if you need to cancel, you can call them, I believe 1-2 days beforehand for a refund.

Requested for bar seating (did mention it would be $20/pp to guarantee) but seems like since i booked early enough and had a bday, so they were willing to accommodate without me needing to pay additional.

My sister thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I personally, probably because I wasn't that hungry, overall thought it was ok. In my opinion, the chefs here do put more sauce/extra flavors on the fish, which isn't my preference, as I like the fish to be the main highlight.

Chef Leo was friendly and attentive.

They deduct the tock deposit from the final bill. 20% auto gratuity.

Street parking only.

First time dining here. Came on a Wed evening. Found street parking easily near the restaurant. Good location, right across from TransAm building. Discreet entrance, hidden behind a curtain, so look carefully or might miss it! Very friendly greeting upon entrance. Was seated at the bar, as requested. Restaurant is relatively compact, was full, and lively with conversation. We brought our own sake for corkage, which they served promptly. The chef greeted us and made some small talk, asked us about our favorite fish so she could make some for us, nice touch! We had Petite Omakase, which started with a chawanmushi with trout caviar (ok), followed by a box containing 7 appetizers -- this was pretty good, including octopus, crab, tuna and some veggie items. Then came four rounds of nigiri (generically called "sushi"). The cuts were thick and generous, different condiments / sauces, touch of wasabi and a small roll of rice. The signature dish was fatty tuna, seared on its side, yum! All of them tasted very good. This was followed by the "main" course of Arctic char in a broth. The fish felt a bit hard / overcooked but tasted good. Then there were 4 more rounds of sushi, including a hand roll. Last courses were miso soup and dessert, both so-so. We enjoyed the meal, the service, the ambience and the overall energy and friendliness. Food had some highlights, some average rounds. Fish was fresh and tasty, but at times felt too "chunky". Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, and we can certainly recommend it to all!

We went for the 13 course experience. Everything was beyond our expectations. The food was fresh the ambiance was very “normal” for a sushi restaurant. The course pace and attention to detail really made the entire meal stand out from past tasting menus we have experienced. The only challenge we had was hearing the wait staff explain the meal. Some of the waiters had masks on which made it difficult to hear and difficult to decipher exactly what we were eating. So we ate and asked the wait staff that articulated better.

One of the best Omasake I have ever eaten and the value is so much worth it. Even the 13 course will make you feel full.
