Love the basic sushi rolls here (spicy tuna 4 life), the staff is great and the happy hour deals are awesome! Their specialty rolls are also fun for groups to share, lots of variety. 5⭐
Love this place! Sushi is always so fresh and there's lots unique menu items - highly recommend the y.t. jalapeno and albacore dream (the california roll is the best one I've had - packed with crab). Service is excellent - super friendly and will give recommendations on what to order. Overall, fun spot with delicious sushi!

Sushi Bistro quickly became a family favorite. It was referred to us by a friend and at first taste of the food, the quality stood out. We were seated right away and greeted with smiles by the owner, David and his staff. We were given some delicious pickled cucumbers to start. My 7 year old daughter loves Tuna sashimi/nigiri and once she got a taste of one, she wanted to order a couple more. My wife got the tempura udon which was soothing for a cold night yet the portion was very generous. I opted for various nigiris and the African spider. All stand out dishes. I loved the nigiris so much I've ordered the nigiri 10 piece omakase since so I get to taste various cuts and offerings. We have gone there to celebrate big milestone/celebrations since our first visit and will continue to be patrons.

All I can say is wow! Sushi Bistro is absolutely phenomenal. From the vibe and atmosphere to the quality of the food, everything exceeded my expectations. I’m from LA and honestly haven’t found many sushi spots in SF that match the flavor, freshness, and creativity I’m used to until now. Sushi Bistro serves top quality rolls that are not only beautifully presented but actually packed with flavor.
What really made the experience even better was the owner. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which added a personal touch that’s rare to find. I had such a great time dining here and will definitely be coming back regularly. This is officially my new go-to sushi spot in the city. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for seriously good sushi.

The best sushi in the city hands down. We order here as often as possible and it's just so good. The Hawaiian breeze is a go-to. Such unique flavors.

This place was recommended by our Sidecar driver. And this recommendation alone makes Sidecar's existence pivotal in my mind.
Wow, what incredibly inventive, diverse and delicious sushi creations. Sushi Bistro really only has a few peers in this regard in terms of quality and creativity and I was fortunate to sample some of their special items from the menu. The first dish, the Butterfish Blasters, demanded attention right away: snow crab with creamy avocado wrapped in tender butterfish and seared with a perfect amount of garlic soy. Next to arrive was the Five Wishes, essentially a rainbow roll without the rice. It was perfectly crafted and held together tautly somehow like magic, it melted in my mouth with each bite. Last, I had the Sexy Scallop: a mix of spicy white tuna, salmon, avocado with chopped scallop on top. Slightly savory, it still had freshness bursting with each bite. Three in a row and all hits, that's rare.
You pay for what you get though and their sushi is definitely on the pricier side but worth it in my opinion. Looking forward to checking out the other creations. Now I just wish they offered delivery..

Delicious notorious veg roll. Tofu curry bowl was good too but the tofu pieces were a little too chewy.
I placed a take out order from here and enjoyed all the dishes I tried! We ordered the veggie spring rolls, miso soup, spicy crunchy, miso soup, crunchy veggie, and the chicken katsu. It was great to see Dave at the restaurant too. He's a cool guy! I look forward to dining in next time. Excellent environment and friendly service.
