Quite empty on a Sunday around lunch time, the person working was very nice. They had a large variety of freshly packaged sushi and other items for dine in and to-go, with several chairs/stools available for dine in. Clean and modern place by north beach, right next to Flour and Water pizza. Can't beat the value for fresh nigiri - 7 pieces for only $17. Will come back! read more

On a busy Saturday afternoon, 4:30 pm, I scored the last seat with my Omakase Nigri and Yuzu soda. Fresh fish. The ginger on the side startled me because it's salty, not sweet. But I think I prefer it this way. Very patient staff. I'll be back ... earlier next time so I can try the snow crab California roll and the Salmon Aburi. read more

Whenever I go to Chinatown or North Beach area, I have stopped by here to get sushi to take home. fresh sushi and every time I am there, kitchen staff always coming out and restocking the fridge with more sushi just freshly made. they must get high turnover because I was eyeballing the roll with avocado and it isn't even brown (you know what I mean when avocado gets exposed to the air and turns brown quickly). I wished they had tuna or yellowtail sashimi but the previous couple times I went, they only had salmon sashimi available. I just got my usual hamachi roll, tobiko eggs, and pickled veggies. I asked the cashier if she can just get me wasabi only since I don't eat the pickle d ginger. the pickle ginger and wasabi is in one container. You grab the chopsticks, condiments, napkins after you pay. Staff is always nice and polite. place have a couple tables and counter seatings. Bright and clean in there. Washington Square park is just one block away if you want to take your food there to eat while watching Asian aunties and grandma do tai chi. Parking is hard in that area. read more

I love it here; Ebiko is perfect. Fresh, tasty sushi with a beautiful and artful presentation (a very Japanese ethos) in one super fast and super easy customer experience. The staff are sweet and helpful, and this location is a clean, calm, bright little stop amidst a busy, high-traffic neighborhood. It's hard to resist a quick, high-protein refuel that also tends to all your omega-3 DHA brain health needs to help prevent neurodegenerative disease. I'm so happy this new location opened with later operating times to 5pm. They have mochi and green tea, two little treats that always boost my day! I love the high-quality, smooth wooden chopsticks they use (re: that hilarious meme about awkward sensory issues from splintery wooden chopsticks), and I absolutely love that you can run in and grab a fresh, beautiful uni-ikura rice bowl any afternoon you need to. If you are sensitive to seed and veg oils like me, the seared salmon might upset your tum (sadly I always feel a bit queasy from the cooking oil they use on the sear). I wish they would also use compostable bags or anything that helps minimize single-use plastic, but I can't argue with the quality and expertise of Ebiko's sushi. Delicious, fast, easy, and so fresh. If Ebiko existed in Marin, I would be here all the time. read more

I work in the neighborhood a lot and was so happy when I passed by the newly opened Ebiko! I don't always have time to grab food before work and will be done pretty late in the evening. I've been twice now and both times I've been extremely impressed with the quality of the food, the elegant simplicity of the shop, and the friendliness of the owner and staff (I've interacted with David and Grant). I've gotten the seared salmon and salmon avocado roll both times. The quality and freshness is just amazing! Today, I also got the Omakase. The tuna bellies were exactly what you'd expect from a fancy sit-down sushi restaurant! It melted in my mouth! And I just love the selection of fun chip flavors. And the sake and beers selection is amazing as well! The Jeju beer was surprisingly refreshing!!! And everything is so affordable! I plan on going back as often as I can during my work days! read more

I happen to be in the city from Sacramento and had the pier location bookmarked but its closed weekends. I happen to find they had another location open on the weekends. Found parking right front and wait for them to open at 11. The store is bright and roomy with how the layout was so you walk up to the sushi fridge and help yourself to the freshly made assortment of sushi. Then their are 2 beverage fridges with a large assortment of drinks to choose from. Next comes 2 racks of packaged dry goods consisting of chips and other items. You cross over to the other side of the store to the cashier and pay for your items. If you're taking it to-go they pack it for you. They have all the utensils and sauces at the end of the counter for you to grab and go. If you feel like eating there they have a a row of seats facing the window so you can get a view of the street as you enjoy your newly acquired food. There is also 1 table that seats 2 people away from the window that is where I sat. Staff are friendly and the place clean including the bathroom. The sushi selection was great and from the items I purchased everything was on point. Rice texture fish flavor and cut size was perfect. No funky smells from any of the fish. I almost wanted to go purchase another round but I'll wait until my next visit. read more

Was just walking by and was surprised to see they had just opened in north beach. Went there on maybe their second day of opening. The space is quite large and bright, a really nice addition to the neighborhood. I first tried them in their Oakland location and let my stomach get the best of me and got maybe 8 things for 2 people. This time I only got 3 items, which were all tasty. California roll, rock and roll, and the salmon and avocado. There's a pretty good ratio of rice to protein. Prices are reasonable, good place for a quick snack/meal on the go. Couple of bar stools and a table to sit at if you want to eat there. They also sell Asian snacks, drinks, and beer. read more

I am so so happy that they opened up an Ebiko location in this area. I was just walking by when I saw the beautifully designs storefront in North Beach so I stopped in and was happy to see that they were open on weekends and the interior is so clean and organized. It's very straightforward with a grab and go display of the Omakase selection and various different types of sushi! I decided to try their Omakase for the first time and was not disappointed. You really can't find another deal like this for 17 dollars, every cut of fish was nice and thick and melted in your mouth. I'm so impressed and I will definitely be back here. There's only one girl working the check out counter which works fine as it's fast service, she was so nice and sweet! Didn't make you feel pressured or rushed at all and very helpful answering any questions I had. I can't wait to have a really cute picnic in North Beach with some sushi that I grab from Ebiko, 5 stars for sure! read more

I loved this place I've come twice…read more Good - The chicken katsu Sando set is such a great value for price - Loved how juicy the sandwich was - Miso soup was so hearty and refreshing - The place is very cute and the service is pretty fast - Comes with desert too so it's great value Bad - Super casual just go up and order Overall would come again! It's an underground gem

Awful stale and low-quality lunch! Super disappointing and do not recommend!…read more I ordered the hire katsu which is supposed to be a thick cut of juicy pork tenderloin. What I received were thin crusty, dry pieces of katsu that were 100% not fresh. It's like they just gathered all the leftover pieces and warmed it up because the meat was all dried out. Portions for the mac salad, rice, and cold miso soup were small. I ordered a side of their curry - barely warm, a bit sour, and not good. I had to trash my takeout meal unfortunately. I will never return to this wannabe "premium" katsu place.

A cute little place serving coffee, matcha and a nice selection of Japanese pick up lunches…read more I love the spam musubi here. They are hearty and substantial, unlike a lot of the smaller musubi. They also make onigiri with salmon. They even make one with takikome gohan. Such a treat especially for someone who grew up in a Japanese household. I still need to try the lunch bowl and special bento box. For coffees and lattes, the selection is limited but the drinks are good! I like the kinako matcha. The kinako flavor is strong and might overpower the matcha flavor. I also had the strawberry matcha. While I'm not usually a fan of strawberry matcha but I like this one. They make their own strawberry syrup and you can tell the difference. I also like the shio vanilla latte. We have so many coffee shops to choose from but this is one of my favorites.

This is a pretty aesthetic and chill coffee shop. I really like their interior design…read more I came here at 12 pm on a Saturday and it was slightly busy. I ordered the Tamago sando and cold brew while my wife ordered the kinako matcha and chashu sando. I liked the Tamago sando enough but it's a bit pricey at 16 dollars. The flavor is light and the bread is fluffy but wasn't as soft as it looked. It was overall OK. The cold brew is definitely good but be warned that they use a lighter roast and that this roast does make for a more sour cold brew. It was smooth at least. My wife said she enjoyed the kinako enough but it did taste more like hochija than matcha. It was OK to her. The chashu sando was good but not great. The employees are really nice though. I felt that this coffee spot is good, but not great. If I'm in the area and want coffee I'd stop by but I wouldn't take extra effort to come back. P.S. the restroom situation is really weird. It's basically a side quest to get there and the security guard working the front desk seemed really annoyed that coffee shop customers wanted to use the restroom.

Stopped by when I was in SF only a couple minutes walk from BART and ordering online was super…read moreconvenient since their website accepts Apple Pay. I ordered the vegetarian curry with tofu and broccoli at the medium spice level (~$17). The spice level was exactly as described and the curry itself was flavorful. My only small complaint is that I wish the vegetarian curry came with a wider variety of vegetables. I was surprised it didn't include potatoes which were an additional charge. The portion size felt fair for one person I had enough to have leftovers for dinner. I do wish the price was a little lower since it's a takeout-only spot, but considering the area, it seems pretty in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown SF. My partner ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Overall, it was an alright spot for a quick lunch. The Japanese curry was decent--nothing…read moreparticularly memorable, but it hit the spot if you're looking for something simple and filling. A curry katsu dish cost $20 before tips. One downside was the customer service. The woman working the counter came across as unfriendly and didn't seem very welcoming, which made the experience less enjoyable. Also, keep in mind that this is strictly a grab-and-go place. There's no seating available, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere. If you're just looking for a convenient curry lunch, it's fine, but don't expect much in terms of service or dine-in atmosphere.

The sushi here is amazing! Super fresh, flavorful, and made with great quality ingredients. I had the spicy tuna roll with cucumber, and it was so yummy. The tuna had the perfect kick, the cucumber was crisp, and the rice was soft and well-prepared. I also love that it's affordable without sacrificing quality, which makes it even better. Fresh, tasty, and budget-friendly. You can't beat that! Definitely coming back for more. read more

TLDR: When you're at the heart of Japan town, you have to embody the nation in all the good ways…read more Kui Shin Bo, embodied the nation's backbone of being average to above average in multiple things. This place covers many of the basics (rolls, ramen, tempura, yakisoba, teriyaki, unagi). I really only see it as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. It doesn't mean that this restaurant has no place in Japantown, but it doesn't inspire confidence when it's located in an isolated region of the mall with less foot traffic, while its competition on the other wing has lines longer than the location's capacity. Black Garlic Ramen: It's always a mystery to me how black garlic improves a bowl of ramen. My expectations, however, remain the same. How thick is the broth? How clean is the broth when consumed? What is the quality of the chashu? Do I get enough noodles? I think the best part of this meal was the amount of soup they give, and the chashu was very good. It sucks that the chashu is tiny, but they did very well. I feel that the noodles were those wholesale ramen noodles that were portioned, and the garnish was fine. The broth was okay, 3.5-ish stars in terms of taste. Dynamite Roll and Volcano Roll: I think it's a problem if I have trouble identifying which is which. I can tell you that both are good enough to try, and the Volcano Roll comes with raw fish. Both come with a good crunch and a good sauce, but like most Japanese places that lean heavily into the rolls, good luck finding out what you ordered and what you just ate. Ambiance: Very classic Japanese. They're really at their best to convince you that you're in Japan. It may get tight during a busy day though. Service: Standard. You order, your water gets refilled, you pay, you leave.

Amazing service and amazing food…read more This was my second time visiting Kui Shin Bo and it's great every time. We received great service, constant water refills, and our food came out quick. I ordered the chicken katsu and beef teriyaki, which is served with rice, miso soup and salad--the perfect balance, and a bit of everything. The chicken was very crispy, the beefy teriyaki had a nice smoky flavor to it, the soup was nice and warm, the rice paired well and the salad was fresh and tasty. My sister ordered the Crispy Chicken Chili Creamy Ramen. I had some of her ramen and it was delicious as well! The overall, restaurant itself is a bit small but the food makes up for it. I would definitely return!

This was a Yelp recommendation for Japanese food in Japantown, San Francisco! :)…read more I am SO glad we stopped in to Akira on Sunday night. It was one of my top recommended spots in my Yelp search for Japanese food in Japantown. They had a LONG menu of sushi options plus hot entree and bento options as well. If you follow me, you'll know that I'm allergic to seafood. But my friend here got a rainbow roll and salmon avocado roll - both her go-to's at her regular spots back home. She appreciated that the fish was extremely fresh and flavorful on the rainbow roll, and that the inside ingredients did not over power the fish taste. Both my partner and my friend got Salmon/Avocado rolls, and enjoyed it. They appreciated the REAL crab in the rolls - which we don't get in Arizona often. In terms of the warm dishes, we all got miso soup either as a part of our bento boxes or on the side. The miso was cozy and flavorful, with the tofu being chopped really into very small cubes - which is how I prefer mine! The beef teriyaki and the chicken katsu were 10/10!!!! The beef was charred perfectly with a tasty, not-super-salty sauce. The Katsu was perfectly cooked with the most satisfying breading! Literally no notes! I'd come back here JUST for one of those meat entrees. We also had salted edamame for the table (that we absolutely crushed!). I wish I got out server's name because he ran that entire restaurant VERY well!!! The sushi chef was very nice to our party, as well. He was kind, offered suggestions, and wished us well on our visit. The entire restaurant isn't that big. Maybe capacity for no more than 20 guests at once! But it was very easy to find a seat with NO reservation. There's all indoor seating. AND their bathroom is a VIBE (check it out! But iykyk!!! ). I am EXCITED to re-visit SF and to eat at Akira again soon!

I was ordering for dinner and she put everything in separate containers. The sprinkle tempura bits to keep it crunchy. The soup from refrigerator. Curry chicken $12. Great curry flavor and i taste sweetness. I got 2 drumstick with thigh. Big fat carrot chunks. She asked if I wanted half sizes. No, I came all this way, I want full size. Choices. I got the combo sushi rolls $6.50 to eat immediately.. I had to taste the curry and the sweet chunky carrots. Can't wait to get home to eat the soup with dumplings and soba. Soba is more healthy then uson. They had cut up watermelon and pineapple. Someone got to the last one pineapple. Everything said on yelp was true. You just have to get here between 9am to 3 pm, M-F.

So disappointed by this shop. I live in the neighborhood and kept hearing rave reviews about this…read moreplace. My family and I decided to order 3 bowls of sukiyaki. The young girl working at the shop mentioned she needed to check if they had "enough" to serve me. She came back and said that there was enough for three portions. Great! When I arrived home each bowl looked different, and hardly had any meat in the bowls. The first bowl had plenty of food, and the consecutive two were practically all rice. I felt deceived. These kind of business practices are duplicitous and make me untrustworthy of the business. I returned to the shop seeking a resolution. The two young associates mentioned "they didn't make the food." As a response to my upset to their deceptive business practices. Which is obvious. They offer me a different portion from their fridge. Which shows me that all of the "fresh ordered" food is stored in a fridge pre-portioned. Ultimately I am refunded per my request, but I won't return given the awful experience. Additionally the restaurant is always cramped, full of empty boxes, and all the signage is scrapped together from old cardboard.

My favorite roll was the lobster-tuna-shiso roll in soy paper. Second favorite was their tuna-scallop-yuzu roll. The spicy salmon-seared salmon-jalapeño roll was similar to many other salmon rolls I have had, so it did not stand out. The rolls were small, but beautifully presented. One thing to note is that there is only one chef and one server, so it does take a long time to get your food. We waited about 45 minutes to get our food, and we only ordered few rolls and one chirashi bowl. The space is small, and there are only a few tables, but having one chef does slow things down quite a bit even with a few tables. If you are not in a hurry, this is a great hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant for lunch.

The menu is simple in the best way, with easy chirashi options depending on what you're in the mood for, and everything I've tried hella hit. The fish is consistently fresh, the quality is excellent, and it holds up just as well for takeout. At this point, it's become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in SF. Wish they served sake!

I ordered online for pick-up and the process was simple and seamless. Upon arrival, my order was ready at the counter and handed to me promptly. I was in and out within 30 seconds so really didn't have a chance to look around at the space. The good: - Presentation and packaging - Fish was fresh - Service was quick The opportunities: - Something about the sush rice was different than what is typical in nigiri - The premium omakase set was presented beautifully but lacked the sweet and rich flavors I was expecting Dining Yamamoto is definitely high quality and presentation but unfortunately not the best I've had. I will definitely give them a try again in the near future. I might have just stumbled upon an off night.

So when some of my friends wanted to meet up before they went to the valks game I suggested here. It is a small location with "bar seating" maybe 6 chairs? We ended up sitting by the door on a sofa and a small round table, it was fine since it was just us 3. You go up and order in person or on the iPad and maybe 5/7 min later your order is being called. Super easy to order. I ordered a spice tuna roll, edamame, pink lemonade green tea drink and a dragon roll. The fish tasted fresh and the spicy tuna was perfect. not too spicy and not just color. I wish the drink was a bit more sweet but I can fix that by asking for more sweet, I think I put less sweet thinking it would be too syrupy or something. I really enjoyed it that two weeks later I went to a giants game and picked up rolls to eat at the ball park. That time I ordered it online and got a confirmation code and then a text when my meal was ready. Super easy once again. Will keep coming back. Thank you

The food came out pretty quickly, and the sushi rolls were good. No complaints there. The chicken karaage, though, was really disappointing. It was soggy and tasted like it had been made ahead of time and microwaved instead of freshly fried. We were the only customers there, so I was especially surprised it wasn't freshly made. The sushi was good, but I definitely wouldn't order the karaage again.
