About Okaeri Japanese Bistro

Okaeri Japanese Bistro is a popular spot in SF, known for its excellent sushi and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant offers a range of delicious dishes, including yuzu foam oysters, sake steamed clams, tuna tasting, o-toro nigiri, and various sushi rolls. The chef's selection of nigiri is a must-try, and the omakase experience is a great way to enjoy a special meal. The sushi at Okaeri is known for fresh fish and well-prepared rolls, reflecting high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant dining experience with next level customer service and very good suggestions and explanations. The intimate setting feels like a hidden gem, with a small bar area perfect for watching chefs craft each dish, which was perfect for the chef to explain each fish. The expanded space on 26th Street holds about 20-30 people, blending a minimalist yet lively vibe with dim lighting and an open kitchen that adds a smoky aroma from the charcoal grill. The menu features a dynamic omakase journey of seasonal ingredients alongside a la carte options. Guests are absolutely blown away by the quality of the fish with every piece nearly melting in the mouth. The omakase price is considered a steal compared to most places in the area. The place is quiet, the decor is clean and comfortable with a modern feel, and it definitely fills up. Diners have found the sushi to be fresh and good quality, making Okaeri a standout choice for authentic Japanese food in San Francisco.
