_January 30, 2016Came here for SF restaurant week and absolutely loved their food! It's been a while since I have found a restaurant that lived up to they hype. Get the wagyu beef and grilled bone marrow! My favorite!
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 31, 2017Hamachi Serrano, blue fin tuna flight, wagyu flat iron seal, chocolate cake,Moscow mule, taco appetizer, dumpling appetizer, and setting sun cocktail: loved ! Meh on mushroom hotpot and snowcrab sushi
carlos felipe ospinaAugust 4, 2013Very few places offer Kobe A5. Here you will find it prepare on the Robata. Grill. This is considered one of the most delicate and tasty things to eat on earth. The price is MP.
Manoj KintaliJune 24, 2017This place seriously has amazing food. Must try the short ribs, start with spicy edamame and lamb chops were so tender and fantastic!
David ROctober 11, 2018Modern and trendy lunch/dinner spot. Lunch special is a good deal. Sashimi and miso were great, black cod was a bit flavorless and hard to eat with chopsticks.
heathr goldNovember 29, 2014Surprising standouts: green tea, best California roll I've had, brussel sprouts, edamame. Fish and steak are great too but not as surprising.
Audrey BRUISSONAugust 24, 2014Amazing cocktails especially their Port Antonio daiquiri (with Rhum Agricole!!) And their chicken bites and wagyu beef dumplings are a win!
Jeff RothenbergAugust 24, 2013Such a sneaky and awesome bar downstairs! Amazing for dates! Highly recommend the bar as its still undiscovered!- Lily LiangSeptember 28, 2013Must get their butterfish tataki as well as the beef tataki. The lobster tempura is so yummy!. The nigiri are nothing specials. Shishito peppers are good too! Service is not the best either.
Jole PJanuary 2, 2017Everything here was delicious, both sushi and steaks, as well as the shaved ice dessert that is definitely meant to be shared
Whitney FishmanOctober 19, 2015The seared sushi isn't to be missed. The tuna selection is solid. Between the edamame go for the spicy one. Ask for josh he's the best waiter here !
tiffanyJanuary 20, 2014Prime beef filet was one of the best steaks I ever had. Sea bass was good too.
Nicolas TullyFebruary 24, 2014Show up 20 mins before your reservation, and check out Roka Bar downstairs. They nailed the Tokyo aesthetic.
David HoltzJuly 20, 2016The omakase here is nuts! So much (tasty) food, we literally couldn't finish. Really great Pokémon spawn here too!
- Christian LutzAugust 26, 2016Robata stuff is terrific. Lamb chops, rib eye. Also try shrimp tempura with its genius dip
Henna Abbas MerchantOctober 20, 2017After hearing that this place is better than sushi ran and in sf I was excited to go. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. Perhaps next time I'll try and get a seat at the bar and order the omakase.
Uygar DOctober 28, 2017Food and service is very good, just the restaurant is too noisy. Wagyu beef is so tasty.
Rachel KingAugust 19, 2015Excellent lineup of veggie sushi and dishes; especially good for a power lunch spot.
Pranay SethiNovember 26, 2015I thought the service was excellent! Get the Crispy Fried Squid and Spicy Edamame!- Sarah EJanuary 30, 2014Butterfish tataki, prime beef filet, and black cod were all great. Sushi rolls were decent but not amazing. Pork belly was awful and shisito peppers could use lemon juice and some kind of oil- too dry
Wilson Favre-DelerueNovember 3, 2017Passable food and very expensive. The only decent deal is the USD 28 set business lunch.
BiancaJuly 24, 2013Amazing service, beyond delicious food. The fish is probably the freshest I've ever had.
Mohit GuptaJuly 11, 2013Even though the sushi is good-ish, you'd want to get the grilled/seared meats here. That's what they do right.
Brodie OlmsteadJuly 24, 2015Beautiful place. Delicious food. Terrible and unorganized staff. Order the Omakase - it mostly makes up for the poor service.
Susan LohMay 19, 2017Skip the sushi and stick with the grilled dishes. And if your server says the portions are small, they lie!
