Four different kinds of salmon sushi on the night I visited, and the waitress was able to tell me how each one tasted different. Nice to kids. Very fresh. An oasis on a street of mediocre fare. Yum.

This restaurant is a small space with a sushi bar tucked in back. Definitely a place to make a reservation! I don't know as much about sushi as I would like, but we dined with a friend who guided us through the menu, making some fantastic recommendations! Everything we tried was outstanding, particularly the New Zealand salmon. This is a... More

Went with some friends last night and it was the best sushi I've had for ages. Doesn't look much from outside but the food was delicious! And it was packed full.

Excellent and very nuce sushi restaurant; unfortunately is so small that it's impossible not waiting in line a bit, unless you come quite late, after 10 pm. Food is very good and it is not very expensive: I tasted tempura, sushi and miso soup. The staff is kind and very professional.

You almost couldn't look through the door because of all the stickers praising this place. They had Michellin recommendation and stickers alike from the last 5 years. Our experience wasn't worth a sticker. The place was packed. So our take-away would be 30 minutes. We said we would go to our hotel across the street to wait which seemed to... More

When working in the bay area a couple of years ago, I discovered Zushi puzzle on the net. Following the reviewers' advice to go for a seat at the sushi bar, I had my most memorable sushi experience ever. From that time on I visit this place whenever I am in SF. In the meantime I have been to quite... More

This place was recommended to us by multiple colleagues and it seems very popular as evidenced by the number of dinners being turned away without a reservation. The place is small and a bit run down. There seems to be a very loyal local clientele who know the chef personally. The sushi was good, not great per my wife. I'm... More

You won't be disappointed. We love going here when we visit our daughter in San Francisco. It is a favorite with all the locals. Make a reservation so you won't be disappointed.

I visited this restaurant with a friend after reading multiple rave reviews online, but was exceedingly disappointed by a rude, indifferent and forgetful staff, and average quality seafood. The hand rolls seemed sloppily made with the contents spilling out all over the place and the nigiri portions were slivers. Then they tried to charge us for a wakame salad that... More

My husband who is a sushi lover thoroughly enjoyed his choices at this restaurant. I, too, was happy with my chicken entree. More importantly, the atmosphere was unrushed and afforded us the chance to catch up with some younger friends who recently relocated to this area.
