The sushi and tempura are pretty darn good! I don't know about the chicken teriyaki tbh, but it was tender. I also liked their soup and the cozy atmosphere. The waitress is amazing 12/10

Surprised myself coming back to this perfect japanese restaurant in the heart of the mission! Very authentic, most of the chefs are japanese. Fish is perfect. Feels like Japan! Highly recommend!

I loved this place back in the day, 25 years ago when it had a different location near UCSF. I had to visit since it had the same name. I was pleasantly surprised that it retained much of the character. I learned to love sushi at We Be Sushi. The sushi pieces were bite size, as they should be. No need to bite into it and have it fall apart like most sushi places these days. Thank you to whoever runs it these days. My order: Miso soup, California roll, and tuna sashimi....
