Food quality was good, but there was absolutely no variety. The boats go by extremely quickly to artificially speed up your eating process so it ends up being a very quick, rather expensive meal with no variation. I had really high hopes. I should note I do love all kinds of sushi, but if your main goal is California rolls with salmon or yellowtail, this will serve you nicely.

This is my favorite sushi place in the city. I have been eating here for years and Benji and Tiffany are like family. They have sushi rolls that are unlike anywhere else and no other place can beat theirs. They have small plates so you can get a variety and try everything. These are my must haves every time: Spicy white tuna sashimi, special roll (shrimp tempura), asparagus maki, tataki nigiri, crab salad nigiri, spicy tuna maki. The most impressive thing is that there isn’t imitation crab in any of their rolls.

This was SUCH an amazing place, there's no maximum for how much I recommend it. The sushi quality was great, the delivery was one of a kind and the service was fantastic. We are going to visit San Fran again, just so we can come back here! 10/10!

YUM. Our favorite sushi spot in the city -- come here for cozy mom-and-pop vibes with a little (or a lot of) something for everyone (we've met a number of regulars who love their sushi rolls, the indulgent kind slathered in flavor). For the nigiri-fond folks like us, their portions are generous and of phenomenal quality for the price.

Service doesnt exist yet there's 18% mandatory tip, lol. Sushi also sucks, seems like they get many 5 stars reviews from accounts with only 1 or 2 reviews

So glad this restaurant is still open. A gem on the area with great sushi at reasonable prices.

Warakubune is a hidden gem in the mission! This small business is one that I always come to when I'm in town. The conveyor belt setup makes it so easy and quick to grab, so I highly recommend coming here if you want to start eating immediately! The fish is really fresh and they don't skimp on the nigiri/roll insides. I like to get tobiko (fish roe) nigiri and they packed it so much, it was overflowing. My favorite thing is that they use real king crab instead of surimi 🤤 The service here is also great! There is a really sweet lady I always see working there and she greets me with a kind smile every time. Really wonderful service. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Super fresh fish, very friendly staff and customers (sitting around the conveyor is somewhat communal), and a lot of fun to pick the sushi off the boats.
This was an interesting experience for us as parents and our two toddlers, we choose to do the boat/bar sushi, we loved it, I have to admit that some plates are worth their price and some are not. Overall we enjoyed it.
