Suggestions for Japanese Restaurant near Japantown, San Francisco

Dave J. • April 16, 2015Some of the dishes are Western influenced Japanese food and it's so good and comforting.

Carrie C. • November 10, 2020The ramen is fantastic!! Great presentation and lovely outdoor seating in the sun for lunch. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Time Out San Francisco • February 22, 2018Start with a smattering of the kushiyaki, $4 a la carte bites like Kobe beef or obi, then follow up with sashimi picks like the bonito tatami: seared skipjack with onions, tobiko, and ponzu.

Chelsea Q. • November 21, 2021Sushi is so good for the price range

Alena C. • April 8, 2011Inexpensive, tasty sushi rolls - the crunchy roll was yum! Also features lunch specials where you can choose 2 entrees - teriyaki, tempura, ramen, etc.

Ju Hae L. • August 6, 2014Great tonkatsu ramen. Good quantity. Ask for extra noodles if your super hungry for $1

Sravanti T. • January 21, 2018Vegan ramen with soy milk broth was a different take on ramen, and I actually really enjoyed it!

Aubrie J. • March 16, 2018The regular Chicken paitan ramen is the best chicken ramen in the city

J L. • August 6, 2014Delicious lunch special with a good deal on the amount of food you get. One of my favorite ramen places in SF so far.

Bora B. • May 23, 2016I just ordered Spicy Hibachi Chicken which was really spicy but the Japanese Chef kept supplying side-dishes, even some shrimps to our plates just from the grill😉 great food, great show👍

Nino E. • October 4, 2014Really nice place, surprised to see it tucked in a quiet corner across from Kinokuniya. The food was excellent, the oyako donburi tasted delicious, as did the Uni Ikura and crab donburi with Udon!

Connie C. • August 14, 2018Delicious omkase with a flair! Really unique combinations and flavor accents, like gold flakes, herbs, foie gras, etc on traditional sushi. Small station but great chefs. Def do the 12 piece.

Hailey P. • January 13, 2018Omakase is good for the $$ and sushi is very high quality. Highly recommend -- one of the top sushi restaurants in SF

Nikhil C. • February 18, 2019Absolutely the best place for Japanese curry in the city. This place serves the lesser know Japanese food, very authentic and has a friendly staff. Family owned and run. Expect a wait on weekends.

Johnny A. • July 25, 2015Ramen Yamadaya is a great quick place for some hearty ramen. I recommend getting Gyoza and salad to make a full meal.

Claudia C. • September 2, 2014Miso ramen, ebi fry roll, yummy roll, dragon roll (:

Hannah C. • September 4, 2016yaki udon recommended

Nino E. • August 14, 2014Donburi's are excellent! Get some tempura on the side for a delicious lunch set.

Bennett W W. • December 10, 2023Looking to satisfy your Udon cravings? Izumi is your destination.

Jesse M. • October 21, 2012Sake and karaoke

J J. • February 17Very limited menu; strictly a Japanese chicken kabob place. They do a vegetarian dish (not quite vegan bc of chicken broth soup) and it’s excellent
