    Chaos reigns at this place if you come in when it's busy. Expect missed items and stuff you didn't order. Regardless, sit at the bar and enjoy the show. Oh, and the tuna tataki is super good.

    Sushi rolls are delicious. Wait was really long and servers were inattentive but that could be contributed to the busy holiday weekend.

    The shaking beef w/lime is awesome! Ask for Sam O, best server there and also the owner! The vibe will light up your face! Order the maguro sushi, and love every minute of it! No pizza or tacos here.

    I'd put this place up against a lot of places in San Francisco. Decent sake list, too.

    Avoid this place unless you enjoy long waits, forgotten parts of your meal and ignored simple food requests.
