“ Was out running errands in the Haight and wanted a quick bite so trusty Google mentioned this place. So glad it did! Its pretty impressive seeing the girl behind the counter crank out all the orders during lunch. Between 2, we ordered a sushi burrito, mini kaisen don and a eel avo roll. Everything was tasty, not the best it could have been presented given how lightening quick is was being made to keep up with all the tickets for orders. The burrito is so worth it coming with a lot of fish. We even added shrimp tempura so it added to the filling. The Don had plenty of rice, fresh scallop and and ikura. I wish there was a supplement option to add uni but I was full and satisfied. The unagi avo roll was pretty basic and but the flavor was there. Paid around 70 bucks and opted to eat it there in their small dining area. Great fast option! ”
“ The food here is absolutely delicious beautifully presented, fresh, interesting. The sushi burritos are great but the rolls are really special, particularly the Toro Roll. And the beef potsticker are excellent! So thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood. ”
“ The food is amazing! Im a sushi fan. A sushi burrito is amazing. Expect to spend about 20plate. This is about a 15 minute walk to the Painted Ladies. There isnt much space to sit down, two tables for 2 people each and a counter for 3 people. All the food is in togo boxes. You can order on the app beforehand or on a tablet at the restaurant. You have to pay extra for boba on the tea, which was strange. Kids have to like Sushi to eat here. ”
“ Cozy little Asian fusion restaurant. Really loved the food. I took off one service star for the somewhat ridiculous packaging for eat in order. Even with disposable packaging, they couldve done a much better job. ”
“ Food was great and staff are polite. You order on an iPad and bring your food out to you, which was to use easy and convenient. Too much plastic waste for dine in orders though. Trash can was overflowing from disposable containers thrown out by customers exiting the restaurant. ”
“ Ordered a takeout from this place, and oh wow. Food is fresh and good quality. You can feel the fattiness of the salmon in your mouth, and it is so good. I also really enjoyed the Unagi Don. The sauce is delicious, and the eel is so soft and tender but still holds itself. They also give a pretty good portion, this is not a petit side. ”
“ Ive ordered countless times from here and have enjoyed the summer bowls, winter bowls, sushi burritos. However, Im quite disappointed in the menu change, specifically the bowls. Im literally zooming in on the tiny images on old receipts admiring original menus beautiful bowls. A variety of fish, seaweed salad, edamame...disturbed to find out that now the bowls have egg, tomato and corn? Ill try anything once but Ill never forget what once was! ”
“ Food was good, we ordered the original fish in the box and had it at the Panhandle. It was enough to feed a couple for a quick lunch. Tasted like a chirashi bowl with an assortment of fish and there was complimentary real wasabi and soy sauce. ”
