Great food with great prices! Customer service was excellent as well. Aside from the sushi rolls we also tried one of the specials with eggplant it was sooo delicious! Highly recommend

We were in SF for 4 nights and came here twice we loved it so much. Their daily specials are great along with their hand rolls and everything we tried. Highly recommend it!

Reservations made for 6:30 , waited outside past 7:14 and they seated others who also had reservations, florist next door screaming at patrons waiting near his doorstep, don’t waste your time here

If you are missing Japanese authentic sushi, Sakana is the place to go. I ordered Omakase Sushi Nigiri ($35 as of August 2025). All sushis will meet your expectations, including taste, freshness (I believe this is the most critical factor in judging a sushi restaurant, and Sakana met my standards), and presentation. I did not expect to find fresh, high-quality sea urchin.
If you're looking for tasty side dishes, I recommend Nanbanduke or Hamachi-kama. On the healthy side, you may try Eggplant Nibitashi or Ohitashi. If you try rolls, I recommend the California Roll.
This may not be the fancy, top-end restaurant for your first date. Instead, you want to go there every Tuesday for a cozy atmosphere and affordable fresh fish. I ordered hot green tea, which was filled constantly and very hot, a tradition at Japanese sushi restaurants. Small details matter, and I liked them all.
Easy five-star.

Nice place and friendly service. Owned by a japanese couple serving fresh, home cooked food. Had the sushi omakase, philly roll and tuna bomb. Affordable and tasty
Found this place by accident while walking to another sushi restaurant. It was the best sushi we have had in a long time. Quick, attentive service. We’re not very adventurous so my review is based on CA roll, Negi Toro special, ebi tempura roll. I wish I could take this restaurant home with us!!

Stopped in for a bite at dinner time while visiting the city. I found excellent friendly service, mindfully prepared food and a kind and a simple unassuming atmosphere. Watching the sushi chef meticulously prepare my sushi was so calming. I'd highly recommend this place for a nice meal. It's not super fancy but the food and people are wonderful.

Very disappointing. We ordered the salmon don, a sushi combo, and a pair of nigiri. The fish in each was not fresh - it tasted old and was dry in spots. The portions, especially in the salmon don, were very small. I spent $100 for two people and had to eat a second dinner an hour later. Won't be coming back.
