Was great to splurge a bit for my 5th anniversary. The entire staff was wonderful and made fantastic recommendations for wine to match our tastes as well as the food.

Wonderful experience, the food, staff and service were just great. We were in from out of town and just really enjoyed the evening.

They are our favorite omakase restaurant in San Francisco and we've dined at countless ones. Chef Jackson and his team are truly gems of San Francisco and make every moment memorable it is a big reason we come back. Also most omakase places mirror many things however they do two things very differently and impressively. Their own pickled ginger and the ankimo is superior to anywhere else and I absolutely hate those two items the most at other places. That's what makes them shine over everyone else.

One of the best food experience I've had in SF. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who loves Japanese food

Title: Great food, but the atmosphere took away from our omakase experience My wife and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had visited Japan a few years ago for our honeymoon and wanted to relive that intimate omakase experience we loved so much. While the food itself was very good and we appreciated the craftsmanship and skill of Chef Georgie, the overall atmosphere and service really took away from what could have been a memorable evening. When we arrived, the door was locked and there was a small group standing out front. We thought we might have been in the wrong place until someone from the group knocked for the hostess to let us in. It turned out that person was actually the owner and chef, who didn't greet or acknowledge us as we entered, which immediately felt a little off. Inside, we were seated alongside two other couples, plus a group of the chef's friends. Unfortunately, his friends were very loud throughout the entire dinner. At one point, one of them even had a laptop out saying she was “doing work” during the meal. As the night went on, the group got louder from drinking, and the vibe shifted from refined omakase to more of a party scene. It was distracting and uncomfortable not only for us but also for the other guests and even the chefs, one couple ended up leaving early. By the end of the night, the group was offering us sake shots and even their dragon roll, which felt completely out of place for what was supposed to be a quiet, curated dining experience. Our server, Jonathan, was friendly but seemed caught up in the chaos. He made several mistakes with our check and wasn't particularly apologetic. We also noticed him taking shots with the loud group, which didn't help the overall impression. Overall, Chef Georgie's food and technique were excellent, every bite showed true skill and attention to detail. But the lack of hospitality, combined with the disruptive atmosphere, made it hard to enjoy what was meant to be a speci

Overall, it was okay. Very standard omakase. Energetic. But not sure why this is a $300+ per person?

This was a delicious, unique, and fun omakase experience! Chef Jackson Yu and Chef Georgie really took the time to get to know us and our tastes, creating a personalized and memorable meal. Each piece was a standout—beautifully balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted. Too many favorites to list! The pairing was also a true highlight and complemented every course perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.

Jackson Yu and his team did a fantastic job! What a fun night.. the games at the end were totally unexpected and SOO much fun!
Wonderful omakase experience The cuts were generous, the service was top notch. If you are looking for well cooked/well seasoned rice-- which i think is the essence of what make or break a sushi experience, Omakase does it right! This was our 3rd visit to the establishment, I did mention at the confirmation page that I was celebrating a birthday but unfortunately it was not mentioned. We still had a wonderful time.

A very nice Omakase restaurant in the San Francisco area. Good fish, some differently prepared than the usual way, right amount that does not make you feel overstuffed. Chefs clearly explained everything and conversational in a pleasant manner.

Our chef Georgie was so talented, engaging and professional! Our waitress, Gigi, was so gracious and helpful. It was a fantastic experience with the most amazing and creative amakase food! We will definitely be back!

I really enjoyed the fresh herbs they used, which elevated the flavors.
