I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this tonight but here I am writing about MY PERSONAL experience that I experienced today while eating here.(2/16/24) If I was giving a review of just the food today hands down this would have been a 5-star review so if your reading this to see if this restaurant is worth your money and time it absolutely is and you can stop reading here. But unfortunately for me today when I sat down to eat here at their 8pm time and I was gravely disappointed in the customer service I mean I WAS STUNNED. At first everything was fine but I right away noticed the waitress was friends with one of the customers sitting right next time me and as they kept ordered sake (alcohol) the waitress also took shots with them and I don’t mean just one shared rounded I mean WAY passed 5 maybe even closer to 10 shots and I wish I was exaggerating but unfortunately for me I watched her take shot after shot and she became more and more loud with every round. She was obviously intoxicated and I even overheard the second waitress ask her in the back if she was okay because she was being so loud I’m sure EVERYONE in the restaurant heard her yells. I’m just disappointed because I understand these are her friends dinning here while she’s working and she wants to join in on the fun but she’s at work and I’m sorry but this was very unprofessional AND THE ONE TIME I’m here because I’m here on vacation and I probably will not come back to the city in a long time and this absolutely ruined my experience and I’m genuinely devastated, I can’t believe I paid what I paid to have the customer service be so horrible and genuinely ruin my experience. My ONE TIME coming here was not what I expected. If you read this I hope your experience is nothing like mine because it makes me so sad that this was my experience.

Pretty bad. Was about 4 stars when the chef was around but lately it's godawful. Yoshizumi best. Way too many seats like a VC put money in and thought it was a good idea to expand quantity and diminish quality

The restaurant is located next to a building entrance and is easy to spot. The decor looked nice was my initial thought. I've dined at many sushiya in Japan and ranging from Ginza to the smaller cities like Ehime. Therefore I was a bit excited to see if there was something close to that type of experience in the Bay Area. The presentation was there, the flavors were there, and service also. I liked the talk given for each dish and the origin. I did the supplements and they were definitely a good option. I was already pretty full by the time they told me about the Al La Carte. Bummer. They showed the fish head, and was allowed to touch. It was a fun little touch, and they have a bottle of sanitizer ready for each set of guest to use. Their staff were trained well to be attentive. I wish I could've ordered more dessert as La carte haha.

Great experience. Every dish was beautifully curated. We had a glass of white wine the sommelier recommended. My favorite was the uni wagyu! I could've probably had ten pieces of that. The fatty tuna was melt in your mouth delicious. The ambiance was peaceful and relaxing. The service was top notch. Def recommend!

What a memorable birthday dinner I had with my friend! She chose the place, and I was impressed by the ambiance, impeccable service, and the amazing food.

Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 I really can't think of anything negative to say about this place, or the sushi. The staff here take care of you like you're visiting their home, and every ingredient is showcased carefully with detailed explanations of what you are eating. Will be coming back again and again.

Came here for my birthday and it was an amazing experience. The food, the staff…all chefs kiss if they would let me. Tita was a blast to chat with and our chef was charming and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to come back for another special occasion!

Lovely experience. Minimalist aesthetic. Engaged, warm, and fun staff. Great service. High touch. Went above and beyond remembering little details about us throughout the night.The food was delicious, fresh, beautiful, fun, and educational. So many things stand out but need to check the QR code to write the names. The sake pairing was just as lovely! The crystal and platter aesthetic was beautiful and I wanted to steal a lot of it and bring it home. They counted the spoons ?So grateful. Thank you ??✨✨
So good! Everything was delicious. If I had to pick favorites: A5 Wagyu (from a-la-Carte - to die for), sea water eel, fresh ink supplement, scallop sushi, a lot more I can’t recall so

San Francisco, Financial District. December 2023. A swanky high end west coast sushi omakase experience in the FiDi. That means the omakase is in the same league as very good sushi in Tokyo but at a higher price. The formality is more American than Japanese and similar to what you might experience in Los Angeles. If you are a laggard in showing up they will try to get you caught up. The clean lines and comforting light and color means you are not distracted from the food placed in front of you. The music jumps around and sometimes distracts with volume and tempo but otherwise stays in the background. Service is precise from the time you are seated until your departure. The omakase is only reserved through Tock, which means pre-paid. However, beverages and alcohol are additional, as are the upcharge supplements and any additional nigiri you might desire near the end of service. Your itamae will show you some of the neta to be served in a cedar box display - not everything you see will be in your omakase. Down the line they may bring out the head of the maguro they've broken down that day - it's strictly a show. The meals starts with otsumami in a kaiseki procession. A hassun sets the season. The tsukuri is sashimi and served with a separate ball of the shari so you can see and taste the quality of the rice. Another otsumami will break up the monotony of nigiri. In the fashion of a good omakase the meal will wind down after the anago nigiri and a final handroll - with a dessert and tamagoyaki. Before you leave another sweet bite may be offered. This is a worthwhile omakase if you are willing to splurge but it is not for sushi novices.
