50 Best Sushi Bars near Sausalito

“Everything. Best of everything.“

“The restaurant met every single expectation we had. Everyone was so welcoming and charming. The food was 100% spot on. Every cut of meat was a taste of perfection. I recommend this place for any special event. Obrigado!!“

“I got the cherry blossom roll last night and it was honestly the best sushi I ever had. Super fresh and tasty. I’ve been to the more fancy restaurants in Sausalito and this place definitely tops them all. I’m quite suprised that there aren’t a bunch more good reviews.“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“I cannot say I had a bad experience. Everything was my favorite“

“This place offers delicious food coming out of an adorable (and clean) sushi spot, and has a positive, communicative staff.

I purchased the Half-Baked roll (to-go), which I suppose is their version of a Lion King roll, except that it doesn’t have the cucumber. It has avacado.

Notes: There was more than an adequate amount of wasabi and ginger with my order, which I appreciate. Their to-go presentation and takeout packaging overall is one the cleanest, and best, I’ve ever seen.

Thank you,

10/30/24 update: i ordered a roughly $12 with tax salmon avocado roll after hitting the gym at 24hr van ness and it was delicious and refreshing, a bit lighter when I don’t want the spicy mayo sauce on the half-baked. ?“

“A must place to check out. It's Omakase not advertised whole in the hole amazing sushi place. Fish are fresh and flavorful, you get to taste different fusion like Indian, Korea, Alaska, Baja, Mondecino and Japan flavors. So diverse, so amazing!!

You have a choice to seat in bar or table!!“

“This is a really upscale place that only serves omakase for $250 per person. when you factor in tax and tip it comes to $350 per person. although the service and quality are very good, I have has this type of omakase in various places around the country and I think the price is way too much. I think it is worth $150 per person. the meal was great - I Just don't think it's worth the price. the Nigiri was excellent. wasn't a fan of the desert and several of the appetizers I didn't like either. the quality of the fish is amazing.“

“One of the Best Omakase Experience we had!“

“Very nice place for special occasions or just a fancy night out. Our meal was minimalistic but elevated. Fish was well prepared and each item was so unique. Our chef was attentive and welcoming, especially to customers who had any food aversions.“

“Unassuming- soon to be addictive. So just about the best kept Secret on Union Street- I am sure to come back, again and again and it is just hiding in plain sight! restaurant. If you can't get to Japan try this- Excellent quality, unusual rolls and exceptionally fresh- crunchy and tasty. High quality. High end details. Like the chef and his no nonsense approach. One Wish- that they would include side of wasabi though with to-go orders.“

“I've had better Sushi but this was absolutely high level. I had a select Chirashi Bowl and she had 8 pieces of chefs choice nigiri. We had tap water to drink and a tofu appetizer. $168 after tip. So I felt a bit shaken down. I was hoping it would be that ridiculous high level that you never forget. This was just high level but not full tilt world class.. parking was a PITA.. but it is everywhere pretty much. Not sure I'd return.. I'd look for a more traditional place in Japan Town next time.“

“Best non-traditional sushi that I've ever eaten“

“awesome a must try, this is a hidden gem“

“super yummy I loved every bite“

“This is the best sushi experience in SF! The fish was excellent, the atmosphere was cozy and sophisticated, and the staff offered excellent service and friendly conversation. There's no doubt I will be returning. Also, the oysters were amazing.“

“Great sushi, perfectly prepared and presented. So glad I walked a few more blocks to go there. Small with a very friendly staff (my 2 Buddhi’s) made for enjoyable experience. Come to town at least once a year; plan to be back.“

“Real omakase in a commercial area of ​​SFO. Two chefs cook for the guests directly at the counter. Very impressive and really exceptionally good. Some fish is imported directly from Japan. But all of this has its price. No vegetarian alternatives.“

“Exceptional service. Delicious, artfully presented omakase at a reasonable price point.“

“After having this place saved on my list for a some time, I finally got a chance to visit Sushi Zone today.

We ordered the Castro, Toro Toro, Spicy Tuna rolls and a pair of blue fin tuna nigiris and everything was outstanding.

The service and ambience were also 10/10! This has probably become my favorite sushi in SF, we’ll be coming back many times!“

“We really liked this place! We were the only ones in here, with a window seat view to people watch. We got the cherry blossom roll, spicy rainbow roll, miso soup, chicken karaage, gyoza, endamame, and some nigiri (we were hungry lol). The cherry blossom was a bit plain in taste, but other than that everything was really good. The karaage was not to over fried, and the portions of fish were great.“

“A real gem! I’ve ordered take out here multiple times and dined in, both experiences are 5 stars.

Service staff is incredibly kind, quick and attentive. They really create a wonderful atmosphere for guests. Food is also amazing - a large menu with plenty of options and all of them delicious.“

“My family has been dining here every couple weeks since it opened 3 years ago. The owner Paul always greets us and does some special things for the kids: salmon sashimi in bite sized pieces and steamed tofu. Our favorites are negima, the local halibut nigiri, agedashi tofu (I would argue best in the city), grilled butter fish, and okra. All washed down with Echigo lager and our favorite sake Drunken Whale. Highly recommend for a casual but delicious meal“

“A true gem in downtown SF! Came on a week night and was half full, with some takeouts here and there. May not need to make a reservation if weeknights. I was astounded by the variety of the sushi rolls, sashimi, and the appetizers. The octopus wasabi and agedashi tofu were fantastic, the octopus was very fresh I could eat a big bowl! I devoured my sashimi, sushi and roll set and wanted to come back for more!“

“My sister took me here for my first time because I'm from out of town. The head sushi chef was a great character! He knew my sister and was very engaging and treated us to some wonderful selections. I would highly recommend this place. We sat at the bar. They could have been a little quicker on the sake ? but we were pretty quickly consuming it.“

“Great food and great ambience � � love it so much“

“Tried this place a couple weeks ago, we had a Bento box and a California roll, in the bento we got the Salmon and Beef Teriyaki both of which were amazing. Probably one of the best beef teriyakis I've had in SF.

Didn't really like the California roll that much but it was still good. Will definitely be coming back they have a great lunch bento deal!“

“This is the best sushi restaurant on Pier 39 in California. The prices are not expensive and we only use fish supplied that day. This is the only sushi restaurant run by a Korean, and you can even eat kimchi if you speak well.

Parking: Paid street parking is available at the end of Pier 39th Street, but is not recommended.“

“After lunch, I was surprised that they didn't have more people eating in this establishment. This is a great place for a date or to come alone. The food is amazing 10/10. We had the omakase nigiri. 10 pieces of pure magic. The ramen just was amazing the best i had in san Francisco. The staff was amazing too. Definitely give them a visit. 10/10“

“OPTIMAL! Following the other reviews we arrived at this small Japanese restaurant, almost invisible from the street. Excellent and well-groomed food. Very kind staff, very helpful both in advice and in customizing orders! A little dark but welcoming place!“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“Had this place bookmarked for a while and finally decided to come here tonight while we were in the city.

The service was top notch, and the restaurant atmosphere was both aesthetic and clean.

The food generally tasted good, but the consistency was not exactly as I hoped for. We all got different donburi. The quality of the fish was generally good.

To start with the good, the sweet shrimp was fresh and subtly sweet. The scallop had a good subtle taste and was both soft and smooth. The rice was cooked well for our donburi as well.

On the other hand, borh the salmon and tamago were okay, in my opinion. I'm not sure how the unagi was prepared, but it tasted a bit off. In fact, it tasted a bit of the cleaning agent to me, so that was a bit off-putting and unfortunate.“

“A wonderful evening at Okoze with Jason, doing a vast taster session for us organised by some amazing friends.
Some of the freshest ingredients I’ve ever tasted!
From crab, to tuna, to prawn, to scallop, to wagyu, to pickled plum and a wild array in between this was a fantastic evening and wonderful meal. A special shout out to the prawn tempura we started with, so crunchy but so light! Plus the wagyu that melted like butter!
Highly recommend a visit to Okoze for truly beautiful and tasty food.“

“The flavors were thoughtfully crafted, authentically vibrant, and incredibly fresh, making every bite a delight. The staff were attentive and genuinely welcoming, creating a warm and comfortable dining experience from start to finish. I will definitely be dining here again in the future.“

“Had a wonderful dinner here! The service was excellent, and the cozy, relaxing atmosphere made for a great dining experience. The food was well-prepared, and I especially enjoyed the unique twist on the tonkatsu ramen with the addition of fresh ginger—it added a nice, refreshing touch. Overall, a really nice dinner, and I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious ramen!“

“Emma ,Julio and staff great!“

“The best sushi place in the city!! Quality of food is 10 out of 5......“

“Cute ambience, solid rolls for the price, and welcoming staff. However, fish quality was not high enough for sashimi or nigiri - kampachi was good. At a similar price point consider BUBU. At a slightly higher price point consider Okane. Overall, not a bad choice for a casual night out for a date or otherwise, but stick to the rolls. Attire casual or smart casual.“

“I tried this place for the first time today. I was in the neighborhood and craving sushi. I went alone. The atmosphere is low key and relaxing (hence, Zen). The sushi is very good. Some of the best I’ve ever had. Nice lunch menu. Good prices. The service is great. I’m glad I found this gem.“

“I went to KEN for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The fish was delicious; so many new flavors and combinations; the chef was superb - talented and entertaining, with great attention to detail. The service was impeccable. I cannot say enough good things!“

“Absolutely loved it here! The staff were so friendly and helpful! I myself am a picky eater, and they were very understanding when I just got rice. We were a large group, and everyone loved their food! My partner loved his sushi. Our friends enjoyed a variety of dishes and they all liked what they got. We had gotten takeout from here as well and it was just as good!“

“Fantastic food, great service!“

“First time visiting in August and did not dissapoint. Such great food and the service was very thoughtful and speedy. Will be returning for sure.
Update:
Returned and totally worth it. Such excellent sashimi. Wonderful service and so wonderful to sit at the bar this time to watch some masters work! Looking forward to next visit.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“Happy hour is amazing! Great prices on nigiri, rolls, and drinks until 6:30pm.We also ordered seafood sonomono which was HUGE!!! Great prices for everything.The best part is all their seafood is sustainably sourced.

Dietary restrictions: They will make anything gluten free upon request.“

“I love this place and don't go as often as I should. It is far less pretentious than any of the other sushi places in this neighborhood.It's owned by a lovely couple that are very friendly, which gives off a very cozy atmosphere.One knock I have on the sushi is that the rolls can sometimes be a little loosely rolled, which can make them fall a part while trying to eat them. Barring that, the rolls themselves are very flavorful, as well as being pretty affordable. They have a good mixture of cheap sushi rolls as well as more pricey specialty rolls.The dragon roll is one of my favorites and I get it pretty much every time I go in. Monkey roll is also another one I get frequently.I tend to prefer sushi over sashimi or nigiri, so I can't really comment on any of those.“

“My first Omakase and it was an exceptional experience. Each subtly seasoned piece a perfect one bite size. The last piece, le piece de resistance, was amaebi topped with uni. The best way to enjoy omakase is to let the chef set the pace of the servings - we spent a leisurely 2 hours at Koo.“

“Quaint sushi restaurant situated at the laguna Honda intersection. Was greeted immediately upon walking in on Friday night. We were going to order 2 regular Chirashi, but the waitress insisted on getting the Deluxe Chirashi. Quality of the fish was superior to those I tried in the Sunset. Highly recommend ! Deluxe is always worth it (just an additional $6)“

“Grrrrreat SUSHI, nice daily ordering menu, quick Service...and then there is wonderful BETTY. Always fun, friendly and helpful. Hip, hip hooray ❤️ Xenry & Bob“

“The most amazing and traditional sushi near Golden Gate! I totally recommend this place!! You should come here, ask for the Nigiri Combo, you’re going to love it!!! The fish is VERY VERY FRESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can’t wait to come back to SF, to eat here again!!!“
