Sat at the bar for my wife's bday omakase dinner and Roger, the sushi chef/owner, did not disappoint! Some of the best fish I've ever had, great conversation as well, Roger is very knowledgeable! Some of the major highlights. 2 kinds of uni on soft tofu (Roger prefers it this way and wow it's good), yellowtail nigiri, blue fin tuna a few ways , soft shell crab hand roll and last but not least a5 Japanese wagyu nigiri with shaved foie gras! Had about 15 courses each, came out to about $200 each and that's with a big bottle of sake, tax and tip. Worth every penny!

Chef Roger was incredible, both as a chef and a host. Delicious food. Great conversation with him and other diners at the counter. Will definitely return!

ABSOLUTE MUST š£ Hands down the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life. Food, service and atmosphere 11/10. Iām truly not exaggerating one bit. Doesnāt look like much on the outside, but make sure you get a spot AT the bar with Chef Roger (sits about 6 people). The fish is so fresh, he will provide three different variations to a fish, coaching you on how to properly eat each dish, with a lesson on what makes it special. Each fish comes from a different part of the world, Scotland, Japan, Korea etc. He puts so much love and care into each dish, he explains that good food comes from the heart, not the mind. He has different sauces and garnishes, and it really changed my perspective on how I have been eating sushi. He has an amazing personality, very funny, you really connect with him, and it feels like a vip experience. We got lucky and got same day reservation but they told me, as well as reviews I saw, you need to call ahead. Wasnāt a cheap meal, but we did not care one bit. For this experience, it was worth every penny. He ended it with a wagyu sashimi with foie gras garnish, and we donāt eat dairy and he gave us sorbet for dessert as alternative. He also starts off asking for allergies and is very accommodating.

You go here for Roger. You say "omekase", tell him what you want to spend and anything you're allergic to or don't like, and then you eat what they give you. This is the Way. If he tells you what sakes to drink, you do that too.

Probably the most amazing sushi experience Iāve ever had.
Iām definitely not a sushi aficionado or expertā¦but this was an incredible meal and experience.
The omakase with Chef Roger was all so delicious - but my highlights were the aged toro sashimi and the wagyu sashimi with foie gras shavings to finish the meal.
The salmon roe and soft shell crab handroll to start the meal are also notable mentions, as was the wasabi ice cream for desert.
(And Iām not longer an āuni virginā, according to Chef Roger.)
The most expensive meal Iāve had in San Francisco this trip, but I canāt recommend this place enough!

This was the best experience weāve had! Chef Rodger was incredible - he really took the time to explain each dish and how to eat it, which made the experience even more special. The quality was amazing and the dishes were so creative.
This was my husbands first time eating most sushi and even he loved it.
We loved our time here and are still full from last night!

Strange sushi with some sweet sauce. Unfriendly service. Requested a share bowl and it never came. Hand rolls were soggy. Inexpensive pricing makes it maybe a place for younger people. Food is edible but not great.

Easily my favorite sushi place in SF. Don't let the low key atmosphere fool you, the sushi is amazing!

This was by far the best Sushi experience I've ever had. We sat at the sushi bar and Chef Roger gave us a totally unique and well-curated Omakase tasting full of the best fish I have ever tasted. He sources his fish from all over the world, and is more than happy to tell you about where it came from. My advice to anyone who goes here - do NOT ask for a reservation at the sushi bar if you just want to order specific items off the menu. There is a whole seated section for ordering off the menu, but the sushi bar is meant to be for customers who want the curated Omakase tasting. If you do sit at the sushi bar and let the Chef curate your meal, you will not regret it! It was the culinary experience of a lifetime. I went to 2 michelin star restaurants during my stay in SF, and this place blew them both away.
