    Small Space, Big Flavor in North Beach While walking around North Beach and Chinatown, I decided to get some sushi. A quick online search provided a list of places I had already tried, but I came across DJ Sushi. I remembered walking by this restaurant a few times, but I had never gone in to try it. I was the only guest when I arrived at the restaurant, so I decided to dine in. As I walked in, I noticed a long hallway. On the left side was a small seating area, and the kitchen was on the right. The main dining area was straight ahead, and I was surprised that it was a very small but well-organized and clean space. The hostess who greeted me was very nice and offered me some edamame to snack on while I reviewed the menu. I started with miso soup, which was delicious, and then opted for the Omakase, an eight-piece nigiri combo chosen by the chef. It was also very fresh and delicious. I was really happy with my choices. Despite my desire for dessert, especially the mochi and cheesecake, I decided to skip the extra calories. True, DJ Sushi is located in a less desirable part of North Beach, but the food quality there is very high, and the service is pretty good. Do not let the unusual space (for a restaurant) impact you negatively when you walk in. This is an old building in an old area of North Beach, and I assume it was a residential building at some point. If you are craving delicious and fresh sushi while visiting North Beach, consider DJ Sushi one of your top options. You will not be disappointed.

    This is the only sushi place I order from DoorDash in the city but I don't know what happened to the quality. as I was eating the rolls I realized they skimped out on the fish the pieces of fish on top are super thin, thinner than gas station sushi. For the filling it's not even full they didn't put a lot inside. They used to have thicker pieces of fish. It's not worth the price I paid for the food at all I'm so disappointed because this order always makes me full but I'm still hungry!

    Food. Attention to details lacking? Very disappointed as I ordered with specific instructions of no onions whatsoever and it came loaded with onions. More onions than meat!!! I really wanted to rate this high as the sushi was good. Had to throw it away due to allergies. Waste.

    Sushi roll + 6-piece gyoza + 2 mochi

    I ordered takeout, and the sushi tasted fine. It wasn't particularly amazing, but it wasn't bad in any way. I think the gyoza was a little bit not super fried by the time I got it. But in general, I didn't think the flavor inside was that different. I felt like it's something that I could have just heated up from a Trader Joe's bag on my own. The mochi was actually quite good. The only unfortunate part was that when I caught it, the ice cream was already melted, but I think that was still okay for mine, but I definitely tasted better. In total, the meal came out to $30 plus a $5 tip, so it was pretty reasonably affordable. The takeout service was pretty quick because I actually got my food about 20 minutes after ordering it. I can't speak to ambiance because I didn't eat in person, but I have heard good things.

    Ordered through Doordash for lunch. It is a bit expensive, but food is good. Not sure I would order again due to sushi prices and amount of food, but glad I ordered at least once. The pumpkin coquettes are delicious and the best I've tasted with a slightly spicy mayo. The cherry blossom roll was fine. Was disappointed that I ate it too quickly. Could have eaten double since it wasn't too big.

    I stopped at DJ sushi for lunch and the atmosphere iwas cute, cozy and unassuming. The server greeted me with a smile and told me briefly about the menu. I ordered the lion King roll and shrimp Tempura classic roll. The lion King role was delicious and fresh. I would order this again!. The flavors were amazing! The shrimp tempura roll was good also. I will be back to check out happy hour. You definitely get a bang for your buck because the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous!

    Teriyaki Chicken Skewer, Rainbow Roll, four 4 Seasons Roll
    Chris W.

    Got delivery today in the rainy weather, everything was tasty: Rainbow roll, 4 seasons roll, and chicken teriyaki skewers. Quality fish, soft rice, only feedback is I wish they used up less sauce on the 4 seasons roll and less teriyaki sauce on the chicken skewers (these arrived cold so just popped them in the air fryer for a minutes and it worked wonders). Was a bit salty but still very delicious, would order from again.

    Cherry Blossom Roll, O toro nigiri, Hamachi Nigiri

    Review is for takeout only. I haven't dined in before, but they always have some good BOGO deals on Uber Eats. Portion size is pretty generous and fish was really fresh. The cherry blossom roll tasted delicious, and the nigiri were pretty large.

Cute restaurant, great service, seemed like very authentic Japanese decor. We did not find it hard to hold conversation among the four of us seated in the middle of the restaurant. Chicken karaage, 5 pieces - 5/5, large pieces of fried chicken yum! with dipping sauce Agedashi Tofu - 5/5, lightly fried tofu (says deep fried but there's hardly a crust on the silky soft tofu), came with a generous amount of shiitake and shimeiji mushrooms, in a light broth. It came out after our ramen so unfortunately I did not taste it without having already tried the spicy miso broth Tonkotsu Spicy Miso Ramen - 5/5, excellent broth, noodles (straight white thin noodles) perfectly cooked, came with two generous thick slices of tasty roast pork chashu, a warm soft boiled egg (sometimes ramen places give you a cold egg, I don't like that!), green onion, bamboo shoots. I opted for no red onion because that just seemed weird to me. Just the right level of spice and made my throat feel great! I look forward to going back next time I'm visiting the kids in the Mission!

    We are writing to express our strong appreciation for the exceptional Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup…read moreand to respectfully request its permanent return to the menu. This dish stands out as one of the most memorable and flavorful offerings we have experienced. The rich, creamy broth delivers a perfectly balanced umami depth, harmoniously combined with subtle heat and aromatic spices that create an indulgent yet refined dining experience. Both my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by its complexity and comforting warmth, and we have continued to crave it long after the winter season. The Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup represents a true highlight of your culinary repertoire. We believe it deserves a lasting place on the regular menu, where it can be enjoyed year-round by loyal patrons and new guests alike. Its removal has left a noticeable gap, and we are confident that reinstating it as a signature item would be met with great enthusiasm. Thank you for creating such an outstanding dish. We eagerly await its return and look forward to ordering it on our next visit.

    How did SF go from having basically no good ramen options 10 years ago to having all of them,…read moreeverywhere, in multiple styles? While it is somehow still not as concentrated as San Mateo (in terms of ramen shops within walking distance), I do appreciate that there is an abundance of them such that you don't have to desperately line up for 1 hour just for a bowl of soup. Hinodeya is a mainstay at this point. It's likely not even exciting to the locals, and nobody makes a special trip for them. There are multiple locations all over the city, and the Japantown one is one of the nicer locations with outside seating that isn't super crammed. They have a lot of different broth options here, but the shop is mainly known for their dashi (light seafood based) broth, and it is actually quite good with a lot of umami and freshness. Whenever I'm hungry but have no patience, I tend to wander into Hinodeya knowing that the ramen would hit the spot. Is it the best ramen? That's up to you, but it is definitely one of the most available in the city, and much better than the average in this nation.

    Decided to try the Happy hour at this Japanese place and was blown away…read more Its a small place, maybe 8 tables tops squeezed into this narrow space but it was fantastic. Gretted when we entered, we slid into one the few open tables. The decor was charming, and we were quickly gretted by our server with menus and water. My sister and I split some appetizer items so we could try various items, and every single dish was a taste sensation. The gyoza was crisp on the outside while packed with a savory meat, drizzled with sauce. The Karaage was tender chicken encased in a light fried pankostyle casing, also drizzled with a sauce, and the flavor, each bite was satisfying without being too filling. The Kabocha Kor, were panko fried pumpkin patties with a tonkatsu style sauce that brought the taste buds to a more earthier place . The Tokoyaki, were tender fried octopus balls in a sauce that I would have been happy to hunker down with a large bowl of and just crush, easily my favorite bite, which is saying something as no bute was bad . We closed with an order of Hotate, which was a grilled scallop skewer. Somewhere between sea and bay scallops in size, they were an awesome cap to the dining experience. With a this, I washed it down with a peach-weizen beer which was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Every dish was fantastic in flavor, sauces, and texture. On top of all this, the service was excellent, and the happy hour prices very much in reason.

We started off with the Mekyabetsu (Brussels sprouts), Ba-Ra (pork belly), and Kobe (beef). The Brussels sprouts were my fav starter, and the sauce paired so well with it. The Ba-Ra was pretty good, but nothing amazing, and same for the Kobe, which I found to be a bit bland. We also split the Hokkaido Miso ramen. The broth had a great flavor, and the pork chashu was possibly the best I've ever had(!) as it was soooo tender and flavorful, and not very fatty. I did think the cauliflower left room to be desired, and kinda took away from the ramen overall. We finished our meal off with the matcha Panna cotta - this was a great dessert and wasn't too sweet ;) This place definitely seems to be pretty good at a lot of dishes, but not amazing at any single one. The vibe is great, service was great, and prices are a biiiiti steep but not unreasonable.
