    Uncut salmon. 10% charge for cutting
    Kaycee H.

    Heard this place has the best prices for sushi so we came to check it out. Strongly recommend ordering online. We came in person and ordered. The food came out in 15-20 minutes as it was super busy inside around 5-5:30pm (we didn't realize online ordering was an option). We ordered the Hawaiian roll (salmon and hamachi topped with tuna, avocado, and fish roll) and the Sunset Blvd roll (tuna, salmon, hamachi, and imitation crab, topped with avocado and fish roe). We thought it was very neat there were so many different types of fish inside/on each roll. The fish to rice ratio was nice too. In the box for the rolls, they provided some wasabi and ginger (so don't need to pay unless you want more). We also ordered the salmon poke, which had a little spice to it. I believe our total cost was about $35. For awareness: if you want sashimi cut, it'll be an extra 10% charge. We took public transportation here, so can't comment on parking.

    1. Poke Special Combo
    Jessica A.

    I was craving poke and after some disappointment the night before I went looking for recommended. That's how I landed here. Did not disappoint! Food was all delicious. We got the garlic shrimp plate, a few sushi rolls, fish and chips, clam chowder and the poke combo. All of it was great though I would probably skip the shrimp next time. The sushi and poke were very fresh tasting and great cuts! Fish and chips were also great, cooked perfect and again, tasted fresh! Definitely will be back here again.

    Looks a mess because it was moving around in the bag but it was really good! It's priced fairly and the service was super fast. Found this hole in the wall gem years back and finally came back again because I was in the area. Parking is really hard to find so good luck!

    My husband & i love this spot. The poke is so fresh and flavorful. The area is not the best and finding parking sucks. This place sells out pretty fast so just be aware of that if you go later in the day!

    Thanks for the recommendations, @Dominic. Came here to grab some seafood for lunch. There was a short line. I ordered basa seafood combo with fried fish, shrimp and. Oyster with fries. I also got a spicy salmos poke and shoyu tuna poke. The fried fish was a bit dry but crispy. The pokes were delicious and I didn't get the combo because I had rice and seaweed at home. They give you a number beeper which rings when your order is ready. There are not seating at this place. It is all to go or take out orders. Parking can be difficult but I circled once and found a spot in front of the place on a Friday afternoon.

    Spicy salmon poke
    Justine W.

    Visiting here in SF and this place is well known popular. I came here Tuesday right during opening and there was no line at all. This place is a take out only. I ordered the spicy salmon poke and fish ceviche, both were absolutely delicious. Well priced and some of the freshest and tastiest seafood. I would definitely be coming back to try all the other food on the menu!

    211. Basa Special Roll
    Cartier K.

    Fresh delicious affordable seafood. Fried shrimps, oysters, & fish over fries. The Basa special roll has imitation crab inside with scallops and is topped with salmon, for only $10.50! They're known for their fresh tuna and salmon poke. Service was quick and ambiance is a local take-out only spot.

    Came by on a Friday night for dinner after seeing this place show up on my feed and I have to say that it did not disappoint. I wish we had the chance to come earlier in the day during lunch because they probably would have still had the ceviche, but they ran out by the time we arrived. We ordered the fried calamari special, shoyu salmon poke, shoyu tuna poke. We waited around 15 minutes for our order, which I assume was mainly due to the fried calamari. Fried Calamari - 5/5 - the texture was great and the tartar sauce was great Shoyu salmon poke - 5/5 Shoyu tuna poke - 5/5 Small steamed rice - lol nothing else to say about this but it was necessary for the poke-for me at least. ~~Service: Great. The cashier lady was super patient with us and didn't greet us until we went up to the payment counter. I prefer this because it feels like there's less pressure to decide what you want to get. ~~Best Part: Stress free ordering. ~~Worst Part: There's no place to eat within the restaurant so we took our food and walked over to a nearby park but there wasn't really any seating not in the direct sunlight so we ate on a patch of grass, but it was still enjoyable. I probably should have done the research before hand to know to bring a picnic blanket or something ~~Return: Yes.

    salmon poke
    maliah c.

    Always consistent, delicious an fresh. I've been coming to this spot for a couple years now and I have been sure to pass it on to all my friends because of how reasonably priced it is. The shoyu salmon poke with some rice is a perfect lunch. The spicy salmon is a great contender. The service is quick and you can order ahead for pickup. No in-dining options but there is a park nearby to enjoy!

    Hawaiian Style Poke tuna and salmon
    Sarah S.

    Food The salmon and tuna were incredibly fresh, and the sauce they were mixed with was perfectly balanced and tasted amazing. I usually prefer tuna over salmon, but the sauce was so good that I couldn't stop eating both. The poke comes in a container without rice by default, but they offer an option to add rice, which also includes seaweed salad. Overall, the food was super fresh and delicious! I'd definitely want to visit again and try more of what they offer. Service The service was quick and very friendly. Ambiance This is a fish-market-style spot with no seating available, making it strictly a takeout place.

    210. Sunset Blvd Roll
    Jamie Z.

    I've been going to Basa Seafood for years while living in the Mission District, and it's always been one of my go to spots. My favorites are their salmon sashimi, which they slice fresh for you at the counter, and their spicy salmon poke, which never disappoints. I usually pick up in person, but lately I've been ordering delivery. This time I ordered the Sunset BLVD Roll, which had tuna, hamachi, and salmon inside, topped with avocado, roe, and a mix of sauces. I also got two California rolls (6PC) at $7 each, plus two spicy salmon poke rolls. I made rice at home, though in hindsight it probably would have been easier to just order their $2 rice and save myself the extra effort. I placed the order during lunch hour, so delivery did take quite a while, a little over an hour. That said, the quality was still great and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Basa Seafood remains a really solid spot, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    Super quick service and cheap prices!! For 13 dollars with tax got a poke combo. The lady at the front is super nice and there seem to be loads to choose from. I waited about 5 minutes and they got it to me quick. It seems like they have a bunch of these premade bowls/fish plates ready to serve. Cheap and good for SF. The ambiance was clean and not much of a sit down place. The poke combo came with a water, seaweed salad, rice and a bunch of salmon. You can choose either spicy or shoyu sauce (I got shoyu). It tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed it however I would recommend buying something else because it didn't quite fill me up. However overall really good.

    Spicy Tuna Roll & Spicy Salmon Poke
    Janine L.

    LOVE & OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE!! I get basa seafood all the time because it's so affordable and such great quality!! Everytime i come, I always get a poke (usually the spicy salmon poke or shoyu salmon) and a roll (spicy tuna or salmon roll). I always recommend this place to friends and it's perfect to eat by mission dolores park on a picnic when the weather is good!

    Ask the Community - Basa Seafood Express

    Do they sell their poke (shoyu) by the pound?

    Unfortunately they do not.

    Is it possible to get the spicy creamy salmon poke with tuna instead of salmon? Do they customize or is it all just made ahead and you get what's been prepared?

    Gluten free options?

    Big hunks of raw fish totally gf

    Are they still serving shucked oysters during covid -19?

    No. Not until dinning is allowed.

    When are they open to deliver on Ubereats/doordash? It says they're closed on the apps when they're actually open

    I've ordered twice from UberEats, only to have the order cancelled at the end of the window it was supposed to be delivered. Not sure if it's a Basa or an UberEats issue.

And two glasses of Corsican rosé. ALL of it was scrumptious. It was just the right amount of food for us, though next time we will downsize the clam chowder or order a plain Caesar to fit another half dozen oysters into our bellies.

Delicious shellfish meals has always been on my mind before I personally give up on them. I preferred indoor dining since I got to see how hungry customers like their food so much. After finding out about the specials, it's too bad there's never any single fish dishes let alone mostly shellfish meals. Therefore, a shellfish salad was a suitable choice. A pair of prawns, Bay shrimps, crab meat remains, olives, slices of tomatoes, slices of radish, and the romaine lettuce as a base. The blue cheese dressing I've chosen didn't overwhelm the shrimp and crab flavors as I continue to enjoy every single bite. I'll be more than glad to have cioppino and some oyster shooters, but having the shellfish salad is the last shellfish meal I would ever have. I still give two thumbs up to Anchor Oyster Bar for their local sustainable seafood selection.

I then had their Fried combo which wild gulf shrimp, scallops and wild cod with fries which weren't salty like some in SF. Then I had their whole Dungeness crab with garlic.
