This place has terrible service. They don't treat doordash delivery people well. They promise 5 minutes to release the order and make you wait 30 minutes. When questioned, they turn their backs and walk away. totally disrespectful.

This is my local favorite. Really delicious sushi (especially nigiri) for a good price. I’d recommend their Hamachi Belly, Hamachi, or Maguro Nigiri. And if you’re looking for something more flavorful, then Lion King is pretty good. Their special roll 501 is good but the fried shallots and raw onion are quite overpowering.

Support your local restaurants. We love Yuubi. They are so kind to our family and kids, fish is fresh and constantly rotating and prices are very fair. We like dining in. They treat us so well. They are also Warriors fans and play the games on basketball night, a big plus for us! Go

The veggie dragon roll is a must try and the dragon roll was really good too! We also tried the chicken karage which was really crispy. Overall, great food!

The food was so good. The restaurant was empty when we went but the sushi, especially the dragon veggie roll was amazing.

What a pleasant surprise. Doesn't look like much from the outside, made me hesitant to try Yuubi but I'm so happy we tried it. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely go back.

If you care for mediocre sushi in the run down sports bar with not very attentive staff, this is your place. Miso soup was the only good dish, rest not so much. The spider roll was terrible. On top of it we were blasted with loud and aggressive hip hop, - not very pleasant.

Driven by Yuubi for a while and decided to stop! We had a great experience here and will be back! Appetizers and side salads were pretty decent but wish we had a few more pieces of geso karaage to share! The wagyu and tuna tataki was tasty and worth another try the next time we are there. The rolls were nothing spectacular but standard as far as rolls go. My friend loved the chicken katsu dinner and felt it was perfectly fried for his taste. The poki salad had a lot of different fish in the bowl and was a tad over sauced but otherwise another ok dish. The fish in the Chirashi was good and fresh. We threw in a waffle for dessert since we were curious. It’s a tiny waffle so definitely not something to share.

Fresh, amazing, and fun! Check out Yuubi if you're looking Japanese food that stands out. We had an awesome experience...in food, service, and atmosphere. By the way...the full size tuna collar? Reserve it...then bring lots of people to help! It's rich, moist, and perfectly grilled. The sashimi was fresh and delicious as well with great selection and variety! Highly recommended!

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in San Francisco. And I've tried dozens of them in my 25 years living here! They prepare their dishes with more care, creativity and artful attention to detail than I've seen at other restaurants and they are as delicious as they are beautiful. The staff are kind and efficient, led by skilled chefs and the ambience is spacious and comfortable. I think this place gets overshadowed by more trendy nearby sushi restaurants but it's honesty better! Try it!
