The ambience was very nice. Easy listening music. Food was delicious and for the most part, items were not expensive. We will definitely be coming back again.. Wait staff were very patient as we made our selections, polite, and helpful. Lovely birthday dinner.
We went for our annyversary, server had a card signed by all of staff and two glasses of plum wine! It was super sweet.
Food was excellent and service was great, we will be back often, we really enjoyed it.
PS Try the Yuzu Oysters!!!

Loved the staff and the whole dining experience is wonderful. The menu is extraordinary for its choices and its very good and fresh. If you have someone who is not a sushi fan or raw anything but vegetables, there are so many delicious options for them. I love all the different types of Japanese food one can enjoy there. The staff is especially lovely.
Last night, we had dinner at Okaeri Japanese Bistro and decided to go with the Omakase, our first time both at this restaurant and trying Omakase here. It did not disappoint. Every course felt thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. For $95, it was a great value for the quality, creativity, and overall dining experience we received. The service was also top-notch, our server and the staff were attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Okaeri to anyone looking for a memorable Omakase experience, we'll definitely be back!
In one word: Zen Shout out to the whole team at Okaeri SF Head Chef Master Lo to Ivan! Much gratitude! I appreciate after I ordered the Omakase for my birthday Master Lo communicated to me that the sushi was perfectly seasoned and no soy sauce or wasabi was necessary. I really liked that as I had eaten every bite and every piece that made each item amazing! I am happy to have booked it a day before, alone to celebrate my 35th birthday and walking in sat next to another celebrant as I saw our birthday cards displayed with our seats reserved! It was exciting to see! Definitely will not wait for another year to come back! I really enjoyed celebrating alone, my zen time I find so precious and I'm so happy I got to sit at the bar and also sat next to a fellow Birthday Celebrant. Hers was at 5:42pm I think and mine at 8:12pm. 🤠I still gotta come back for the unagi with green tea I was flip flopping on whether I should have got that one when I booked this reservation. Had to go all out, so next time I will be back and definitely will be getting that! And fun fact this rice beer, Echigo, is from Niigata, where I used to work :) how cool is that! Highly recommend this spot if ya wanna treat yourself for your bday! Thanks for the service smiles and card! Loved all the decadent and delicious bites! It was an amazing experience I would definitely run it back!
We were pleasantly surprised as this was our first visit and we are Sushi afficianados. Nicely done Omakase. Good quality and very fresh fish. Pricey but not compared to a few other Omakase experiences c out there
A pricey mediocre meal, with all the food arriving at the same time. $250 for two and in and out in 30 minutes. The Gyoza was warm, Hamachi Toro, very thin and not memorable. Tempura was mediocre. I'd give it a six out of 10 will not be going back. 
Too expensive for what it is. Ambience is refined but oddly sterile - the fishy smell when you walk in needs fixing. The $95 omakase is fine but underwhelming for the price, with especially poor rice. You can do much better at the same cost (Okane, Nakama, Eiji). Portions are small, so we had to order extra rolls. Rolls were decent, but not for the price. Sauces were consistently good throughout. Smart-casual vibe. Overall, not recommended for the price.

This is our favorite sushi spot in San Francisco! We always get the omakase, as it allows the chef to showcase what's freshest and most delicious. Great decor and vibe, wonderful service.
We really love the place! We just jam with food!
One star reviews are fake ? I think so.
Portions are big taste and freshness of food is fantastic. I will come back. Marcel is exeeed my expectations. Hot starter Hamachi is giant. The only thing not my cup of tea - tins tartar. Otherwise is amazing

We really liked our omakase at the bar.
-Not just the usual same nigiri fish you get everywhere
-Generous with the fish, not thin slices like a lot of places
-Warm rice and very delicious
-Variety of flavors and textures
Will definitely be back!

I was born here in SF, but lived in Azabu Juban for 3 years and this place is phenomenal. A must for an exquisitely cultivated Japanese dining experience.
Uni toasts and Snow mountain rolls couldn’t be missed.
