The Backhouse is a ghost kitchen concept with a friendly and accommodating owner. The restaurant offers a range of dishes, including the salmon trio box, bara Chirashi, bluefin tuna box, and omakase box, all of which feature high-quality, fresh fish and expertly flavored rice. The presentation of each dish is beautiful, with unique flavor combinations and generous portions of uni and roe. The omakase box, in particular, offers great value with 10 nigiris for $75. Pickup is available from various locations, including San Francisco, San Mateo, and Hayward, and the process is seamless. While some minor issues with rice texture and temperature have been noted, overall, customers have been extremely satisfied with their meals and plan to return for more.
