50 Best Sushi Bars near South San Francisco

“Kamu Sushi in South San Francisco is a cozy, small gem that really makes every visit special. Their beer and sake is top-notch and pairs beautifully with the meal. The extra spicy edamame is a fiery delight, while the seafood options like lobster and mussels are impeccably fresh. The nigiri and Spicy Spider Roll round out an unforgettable culinary experience. A must-visit for an intimate evening of great food and drink. Cheers!“

“Very friendly staff and delicious food. The variety is great! Definitely a go to place if you like Sushi 🍣 🤙🥇“

“I was seated right away during lunch time and it wasn't too busy. My favorite and reason for my visit was to have the torikawa (chicken skin skewers) I also had the Bento with the shrimp tempura and shioyaki salmon. Everything was delicious 😋 I almost forgot to take photos as I was hungry lol... price was also reasonable.“

“We eat here about once per week (or get take out)! Addicted. So good. Friendly staff! Highly recommend!“

“Great little hole in the wall poké place in an area where there's not a lot of options!

The portion sizes are great - we got a small bowl that was more than enough for 2 people to share. We got it with Ahi tuna, spicy crab, and salmon with their quinoa kale, brown rice, avocado, seaweed salad, edamame beans, and crispy onions. The sauce was spicy aioli and truffle aioli with a dash of sriracha added in for extra heat.

Overall the fish was very fresh and the flavors mixed well together to great a delicious experience! Staying at the nearby AC hotel, this was a brisk 3 minute walk on a drizzly night.

They also had mochi ice cream we didn't try at the time but perhaps next time!“

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

“I've ordered delivery from here 5 times.
Solid food (except the one time I had a scale in my sushi roll). Not bad service (wish they'd be more accommodating with requests). Takes too damn long to make (~80 min ETA every time on DoorDash).

Prefer Sushi Shio. every. single. time.

P.S. will add more photos of the food if I ever order from here again.“

“Best Omakase in town.“

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

“This was truly exquisite. The executive chef Shin I believe is a master at his craft and you felt this through every course. I could not have had a better first omakase experience. The wait staff was very kind and mindful. For someone who is weary of the cost I would say it was worth every penny. The quality of the fish was beyond anything I had ever seen before. The cod in one of the fist courses dissipated like melted butter in your mouth. I could not recommend Akikos more.“

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️“

“Always wanted to dine here. Stopped by the other night. Overall, a pleasant experience, but nothing that wowed me.

The food was good - but in a city like San Francisco with so many standout sushi spots, it didn’t quite rise to the top. I’ve had better sushi elsewhere in town, so it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Service, on the other hand, was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and everything came out smoothly, no complaints there. The vibe was fine too: comfortable and low-key, but not particularly memorable or unique in a city full of more visually or atmospherically interesting places.

All in all, I enjoyed my meal and appreciated the hospitality, but it’s probably not a place I’d go back to. Solid, but not that special for a second visit (to me).“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“One of the Best Omakase Experience we had!“

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

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

“Emma ,Julio and staff great!“

“Good for lunch. Really value for your money. I had the sashimi lunch set and my wife had the chicken wing and salmon sushi set and both were really fresh and good. Will definitely come again ! Weekdays - reservations not really needed, but I've come by on weekends and you should make reservations.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“We stumbled upon Sushi Hashiri because the mall was closed, which turned out for the best. Executive Chef Toshiaki Ono is an expert in his craft. The fish is fresh and flavorful, and the nigiri and rolls are exquisite. I’d recommend everything we ate, but my favorites were the goldeneye snapper nigiri, Hokkaido uni, and the tuna belly & takuan roll. Service was exceptional. I wish I knew the name of our waiter — she was so friendly and helpful. Kenichiro (Head Hospitality) was also friendly and so knowledgeable about the sake and whiskey. The pairings he suggested were perfect. The ambiance was lovely and unpretentious. We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back. Next time we’ll try the omakase!“

“Sushi was delicious and service was great! Not a romantic spot though because it’s loud but fun if your going with family and friends. Music is good!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at Nakama Sushi in San Francisco! The food was fresh and delicious, and the wooden, calm vibe made it even better. But the highlight of our evening was our waiter, who introduced himself as “Uncle Ben.” He was warm, funny, and made us feel completely at home. His energy added so much joy to the night—truly unforgettable service. Can't wait to go back!“

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

“The Swrvice is very good they take your order and 10 to 15 min your food is out to enjoy

Dietary restrictions: You will have to tell the server

Kid-friendliness: I have seen some family with some kids in it, and they seem to be fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair for any but I haven't seen anybody in wheelchair yet“

“I think it must take a lot of effort to source the ingredients to be able to serve sushi of this caliber in San Francisco. It's a great honor to be a fishmonger.‼️“

“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.“

“This place has very authentic sushi. Imported Japanese fish are fresh and flavorful. The other appetizers and rolls are excellent too. The only negative is they are very busy so our dinner felt a bit rushed. But if you are looking for good food, this place is one of the best Japanese restaurants on the peninsula.“

“Very reasonable prices for scrumptious & generous sushi rolls from Teru the Sushi Man and clean & lovely miso soup and service from Aki, his adorable wife. No liquor license (yet) but you can bring your own (there’s also a liquor store across the street). Casual, modest, unpretentious almost 1950s-style atmosphere with comfy booth seating and room for a baby carriage. Dine in or take out. FYI no steps. Easily accessible toilet.“

“The customer service is outstanding and the quality of sushi serves were delicious. The Chef prepared the plates well. I don’t think I can return to a regular Japanese restaurant after this experience. 😁“

“More than fine sushi, with great selection of first-rate nigiri, sashimi, and rolls. Servers are kind, patient & helpful. As dessert they serve matcha panna cotta, truly phenomenal. The owners also run a popular matcha coffee shop next door. Well done!“

“The freshness of the fish enhances every bite, making it truly delicious. The exceptional service elevates the entire dining experience. It's wonderful to find such delightful food and service. This combination creates a truly memorable meal. Definitely will return next time I visit SF.“

“在美國的日本味道，這是算不錯的“

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

“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food at this sushi place! The prices might be a little high for the amount you get, but the quality is absolutely there. As long as you keep in mind that you might need to order a little more than normal to fill up, this is an excellent place to get sushi from.

The only not-so-great thing is that the chopsticks they gave me had jagged pieces of wood coming off them, and I got a bit of a splinter, but that's okay I won't hold it against them. 😆“

“Always Been Our Go-To For Any Occassion. Everything Is Great But Their Oyster Shot Is The Best“

“Warakubune is a hidden gem in the mission! This small business is one that I always come to when I'm in town. The conveyor belt setup makes it so easy and quick to grab, so I highly recommend coming here if you want to start eating immediately! The fish is really fresh and they don't skimp on the nigiri/roll insides. I like to get tobiko (fish roe) nigiri and they packed it so much, it was overflowing. My favorite thing is that they use real king crab instead of surimi 🤤
The service here is also great! There is a really sweet lady I always see working there and she greets me with a kind smile every time. Really wonderful service. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!“

“Best sushi ever. The rice tasted perfect, no soy sauce or wasabi needed. Will come back again when I have the chance.“

“Yet to eat. Waiting. Soon“

“Hands down one of my favorite sushi places in the sunset. The food is always tastes fantastic, and with the generous portions, you absolutely get your money's worth. Staff is friendly, and every once in a while they'll even throw in a little freebie nigiri with my order. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The best!!! My favorite sushi joint in SF and I hadn’t been here since the pandemic started. Going there tonight was such a treat and I don’t know how they did it but they have gotten even better! Amazing service as always and the freshest fish around 😊“

“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!“

“I just had a lite dinner here.the calamari tentacles were delicious and the meso soup 🍜 was good too. I came here because it was 10 minutes from my apartment. I say the food was good at this place. The service was very friendly and the overall ambiance of the place was great. I give them 5 stars ⭐️ . I may come back here again sometime“

“Nice little spot! Emphasis on little. Went in, was the only diner for a while until a few other folks came in. Sat at the counter that had a convenient foot bar. Staff was attentive. The music was really calming too.
Ordered the duck breast ramen for 1$18 and it was so good! Great flavors! Was so excited to eat, I burned my tongue a little🥲 Didn’t try any sushi, but if you’re looking for a ramen fix, you won’t be disappointed!“

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

“One of my favorite restaurants, super friendly, always been treated super respectfully, high quality food, reasonable prices. Can’t go wrong, no need to pay attention to all the 1 stars it’s over another restaurant controversy, not representative of any of my domo experiences.“

“I love this neighborhood sushi place. The quality is high. The food is fresh. It never busy. We love the chicken karage, lion king, 49er, deluxe California and the unagu don.

Focus on fish. I would not recommend the ramen.“

“After a visit to Ocean Beach I found this place and it has been quite a discovery. A shame I didn't find it sooner! Delicious sushi with a large amount of fish inside at a very good price. Also the teriyaki salmon is very delicious and a very well served dish at a good price. Excellent service, very friendly. They serve miso soup as a starter. And the prices are super good, they don't seem like they're from San Francisco.

The bathroom is also very clean. If I were in this city for more days I would repeat without hesitation.“

“Our server Lillie was very good, the food was hot and the gyoza and 🍜 ramen were tremendous, wonderful neighborhood place“
