Would definitely make this my go-to sushi spot in SF! Everything was on point.
The food was great! It doesn’t beat my favorite sushi place, Kru, but we still really enjoyed our rolls and nigiri. It was surprisingly quiet when we went, which was nice. I especially loved the pickled ginger they had. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try
Attentive staff. Sushi was awesome. Maybe the best miso I have ever had.

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.
