Fred LiangDecember 21, 2015I like the idea putting sushi on boat, you can see them directly and take whatever you want, their sushi is not bad, had a good experience there.
Shynar GaliyevaDecember 26, 2013Looking for a Sushi bar at union sq? Come in sit at the bar and enjoy full menu as much as rotating bar- Damien McCloudAugust 8, 2011This place in the bomb - Next time I will try the Unagi Bowl! I can believe I have never been here before, I only walk by it every single day.
Sam BowleyApril 12, 2013The tapas portion of tempura soft shell crab is worth the visit alone. All around great sushi.
Angus BJuly 16, 2011The sushi floats by on little boats. You grab what you want and they charge you by the plate. Good place to go when you have people who only like certain kinds of rolls
Natalie KJanuary 14, 2016Don't eat the bot sushi, the fish isn't that fresh. The sashimi and nigiri, however? Are both fantastic.
Mark PhillipsAugust 30, 2011This place is a tradition for me - been coming for years every time I get to town. Will be back again this trip for sure!
SamaherAugust 13, 2014Sit at the bar it's better. Average sushi though. Location is very convenient in the heart of down town SF
Sit at the bar, but try not to fill up on sushi before your other food comes!
Rob GradyApril 24, 2013Avoid the bar space closest to the front door, as there's a big draft every time people enter the restaurant.
T BMay 13, 2011Delicious fresh sushi. Wait until at least 12pm on week days so they have time to fill up the boats.
Try the Ten Zaru Soba - Lovely cold noodles on this hot day #yum #beattheheat
Make sure to grab the sushi that hasn't gone around 37 times.
💛 pika 💛August 25, 2013Don't waste you time. Make the trip to Isobune in Japantown. The sushi, sashimi and service is waaay better.
William SzilasiSeptember 30, 2012Only thing good about Sushi Boat is the location...when there are no Japanese patrons you've gone to the wrong place. Try Iso Bune in Japantown instead.
SaraMarch 29, 2014Really expensive for decorated California rolls. Keep track of how many plates you have, waitress tried to overcharge me.
Victor BuybackoffJuly 27, 2014They do not have cellular coverage in the basement and do not have WiFi. Stupid, unless you want to eat offline.
Jill GaynorJune 5, 2013Not the best variety floating around on the boats. Also, not very fresh. Hate to say it, but ick!
Trisha FApril 15, 2011I remember why I haven't been here in 8 yrs. Domo has ruined me for mediocre sushi

"Rock solid sushi; many of their top varieties are flown in from Japan weekly. Not cheap but well worth the money you’ll spend."
