Great fresh sushi. Delicious appetizers. Shishitos and eggplant is unbelievably yummy. Warm mushroom salad was pretty good but not as good as the shishitos. Had a few rolls. Scallop and soft shell crab. Both excellent. Atmosphere is fine. Cozy space. Not on or with a view of the water. But right off and very near prime Bridgeway St. in Sausalito. Reasonable prices and good food and efficient service. Can’t really ask for much more. Go..

Excellent, top quality sushi. No question one of the best sushi places in the SF area. Unfortunately quite disappointing service. We had a late reservation, but why beeing seated at a very unpleasant table, getting the impression we'd better leave. We are sushi lovers but canceled our reservation for the next day.

We always come back to Sushi Ran when we visit the Bay Area. Always outstanding food, service, and Sake. One of the best I know. Never disappointing,

This place is amazing! The food was delicious. I highly recommend the sushi and eggplant appetizer. The eggplant had a honey miso glaze.

Went there with my vegetarian daughter on our trip to SF. Great service, really good food, and everything's vegetarian - even the chicken satays! The neighbourhood is not that great, so the restaurant buzzes you in.

Very good but a little pricey Sushi; good location on restaurant row in Sausalito. We showed up without a reservation on a Tuesday nights and were able to seat us immediately inside. Lots of outdoor tables, but they were filled. Would have been nice, but we were walk ins. Nice staff and friendly. I had 3 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. Spouse had a an avocado, tuna roll.

We had reserved for a birthday dinner for two via opentable. We were seated in the allay between the two buildings with considerable traffic. The food arrived a bit out of sequence. The sushi was good, but not great. The cod was excellent.

Our hotel in Sausalito (The Inn Above The Tide - see review) recommended this restaurant to us indicating that it was known to be one of the best sushi restaurants in California. While I can't speak to that, the food was excellent. I started off with the Organic Awase Miso Soup with Clams and then moved on to a selection of Sushi (5 pieces and a Poke roll). My wife, not a fish eater, had the Miyazaki Wagyu which was also superb. Our waiter recommended an excellent Japanese whiskey for me. I finished off with a scoop each of Black Sesame and Coconut ice cream, both very good. Our waiter was attentive throughout the evening, offering suggestions when asked, and seemed truly knowledgeable about the menu. I'll be back the next time I am in town.

We dined in May 2022 and made a reservation for a table on the outdoor patio the restaurant is just off the main street, which made it a very tranquil dining spot. The food was beautifully presented and of very high quality. I especially appreciated all of the unique handmade dishes the food was served on. I highly recommend dining here.
Premium sushi is tasty, a good amount for one person. The black cod with miso is also a classic and very tasty, also a good portion. Also had the Thai red curry cauliflower starter and it was good too

Bentobox is the best value lunch in Marin. Miso soup, sushi, salad, choice of salmon/chicken, and rice. Unbeatable.

Althoigh I travel a lot and get to sample some amazing sushi, this has to be one of my favourites! Excellent selection of the freshest and rarest ingredients make for an unforgwttable experience. Over the years this once tiny restaurant has expanded into the premises nextdoor and now offers ample seating. Still, reservations are needed, as this is not just my favourite restaurant!

I'm a sushi fanatic and have had sushi in many places around the country and a few around the world. This is up there with the best in taste. Luckily I had family who live in the area and when I visited them they recommended this as the best, and they were right. Double triple quadruple yum!!

Ordered to go of almost everything on the menu. We got there around 5 pm on a Saturday. There were couple parties before me for sit down dinner. The hostess took care of them. I took a peek of the inside and wish I was staying for dinner. It is so cozy and nice. Our order was prepared and ready to go. Everything was top notch. From the presentation to the packaging to the flavor and freshness of the sashimi and sushi rolls.
