Imagine your favorite neighborhood sushi spot in the outskirts of Tokyo, where everyone is framily and the fish is fresh today, every day, the need is cold and the sake is from a secret cellar in the mountains of Hokkaido. Then imagine that spot is in your back yard, in the Castro. Boom! You’re here at Takara. By far my favorite sushi in SF, and California. You won’t be disappointed, unless you’re a party of 10 - because it’s cozy as….its really cozy :)

Takara Sushi is such a gem! It’s a small restaurant, which adds to its unique charm and cozy ambiance. I didn’t need a reservation, and honestly, I think this place is underrated, this was my second time eating here!
The sushi rolls and appetizers were fantastic! We started with the baked eggplant appetizer topped with shrimp—absolutely delicious—and the wok-tossed edamame with garlic, which was packed with flavor.
For the rolls, we ordered the SF roll and the Pink Dragon roll. The SF roll was beautifully presented with crispy flakes and tobiko, and the spicy tuna had the perfect balance of heat (kind of mild) and texture, it was definitely a standout dish! The Pink Dragon roll was baked and served in foil, with a mild yet flavorful spicy dressing that complemented the salmon perfectly.
Highly recommend Takara Sushi for anyone looking for excellent food and last but not least, AMAZING service!

Really enjoyed the two specialty rolls and salad. They offer a non-alcoholic beer too that was perfect for dry January. Good service too. We friend and I didn't feel rushed.

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in the city! Amazing sushi quality, great servings, friendly staff, its such a great spot. Highlightable items to try are the garlic edamame which comes out in it's own little skillet with thinly sliced garlic cooked in - amazing! You should also try the Pumpkin Roll - there is no pumpkin, only fish fabulousness. You only get two pieces, but it is worth it.
Solid sushi spot. I went on a Wednesday by myself and was seated at the bar. They were busy and service was quite slow but they gave me a little free cucumber salad for waiting. The salmon avocado roll was the highlight and it was awesome. King salmon and trout nigiris were decent. The negi toro hand roll was fine but was super overpriced at $19. I ended my meal with a second salmon avocado roll since it was so good. The ambiance is cozy and they have a TV that was playing horse races. I would come back but I'd stick to the basics, which they do well
