Jennifer Orr: The spicy ramen is delicious, any of the special rolls and do get the mochi!
Sabina: I know everyone's talking about the Candlestick roll but you gotta get the Shizen Shiitake from the hot section and the Boddy and Soul roll from the speciality rolls. Do it
J.T. Trollman: The specialty rolls are amazing. Some of the best sushi of my life doesn't even contain fish? I can't believe it.

Aaron Ng: Love this place. Great sushi, awesome specialty rolls, desserts and entrees too. Try the double hamachi roll. Don't get the udon.
Graci M: Over-rated. They seem to focus on specialty rolls and overlook the basics. The ingredients are fresh, but the quality of the fish wasn't what I expected. My rolls fell apart!
Cato Hagen: Their nigiri is great, but go for the sashimi. Heaven!

Alice M: Delicious special rolls, but steer clear of the sake cocktails
Stephanie Tsai: Awesome sushi place. The fish was great quality - would recommend the sashimi or simple maki rolls! The special rolls were great but almost overpower the fish

Kimberly Nguyen: Salmon poke is really good. Fresh seafood for cheap.
Jonathan W: Incredible. Salmon roe is really good as is the salmon poke. The sushi is some of the best in SF. I like the caterpillar roll. Seaweed salad is the best in the city. Super friendly service to boot.

Lucia Cisilotto: Best sushi in town by far, ask for the special rolls! All of them are excellent, ask the waitresses, they know what to bring!
Jeff Weinstein: Go explore the funky fun flavors like mustard and pear yellow tail, chopped salmon belly with onions + avocado, dumplings with urchin, and scallop with grapes.
Ken Wallis: Get the sunrise roll, nothing like Quail egg, salmon and tobiko

Zhanna: The best sushi experience I've ever had. All house special rolls are simply delicious and sake is great as well. I will come back for more.
Sabina B.: Start with the Waldo Carpaccio (go off menu and ask, it's worth it) & Hamachi Truffle, and follow those up with the Himalayan Trout, Flaming Sea Bass, and Boombox (sans banana...thank me later).
Sabina B.: Get here when it opens as the wait list fills up fast. The Boom Box roll is truly scrumtrulescent but a mouthful (#ThatsWhatSheSaid)

eifeh: Sushi is pretty good and affordable. Service was good too. Dinner bentos came with miso, salad, and rice. I'd come here again.
Ana Clare Smith: The nigiri combo is great but a lot for one person. All of the fish is very high quality, it melts in your mouth the way you want sushi to. Overall great place!
