If you're looking for omakase style sushi that's still great as takeout, this is definitely the spot to go! Each fish was prepared perfectly and so fresh. I loved the selections Ken picked. Check out his Instagram page for ordering instructions since it's pre-order only. I ordered the Sushi Omakase (highly recommend!) but the other items look amazing as well. read more

I am so excited to see Chef Ken open his own place. He hails from the great Kusakabe where he worked for many years till now, as the Sous Chef to the legendary Chef Nori, so you know he is so good! We have spent so many fantastic evenings at Kusakabe so I am so familiar with Ken's great skill. We have been strictly isolating at home and rarely indulge in take out since the lock down because we are old and so vulnerable but I could not resist Ken's sushi after seeing the photos the last 2 weeks. So I ordered!! What a treat! We are stuffed and so happy. Congratulations Chef Ken on your new restaurant. I just wish that we could be eating in your restaurant with you! read more

Absolutely delicious sushi made with such thought and care to the whole experience. They even sent a little spray thing for the soy sauce to make sure we didn't use too much on each piece, which is such a cool innovation for takeout omakase. We did a nigiri and sashimi omakase and the unagi oshizushi. The salmon and hotate blew my mind, and the rice preparation felt very unique, but honestly everything was incredible.

If I could give 10 stars I would! I have a friend who doesn't like cake or sweet things and it happened to be his birthday. He does however love sushi so I had seen on pinterest people making sushi cakes but I didn't know of any place that made them. I was scrolling through yelp and happened upon Ken's profile. I saw the amazing Chirashi and Omakase boxes he creates and thought he might be able to help. I contacted him via email and he got back to me pretty quickly. He had never made one before but he was willing to try! Check out my photos for the cake. We also decided to have some nigiri for our party and he gave me two different options which was helpful. When I went to pick up, everything was ready and Ken was so gracious and helpful. The sushi is very high quality, good portions, priced well, and super delicious.

We sat in for 2 of the 6 omakase dine in spots and left very full and satisfied. Each of the side dishes, from the sashimi to hot custard soup, were flavored incredibly well and tasted amazingly fresh. The nigiri sushies were awesome. Ken made the rice perfectly well and flavored. Each piece had its own unique taste, from citrusy to spicy and one of the pieces featured dehydrated egg yolk, which we thought was pretty cool. The o-toro and chu-toro were awesome and were the two best pieces for me. Overall, I felt like this was one of the better omakase places and every dish definitely hits the spot. read more

Now for the reason of 4/5 which I may even opted for 3.5/5 if it were available. We were the first group of 9 to come in right at opening and were told that because we had a large group everyone was required to spend $70. That's not hard to hit considering you're eating out at a sushi restaurant, but the fact that we were told to spend at least $70 a person in order to be seated is crazy! We even asked what was recommended and the seasonal donburi or sake was the most popular. So now we went for those options, but still had to make up the remaining $32 per person that went for the sake donburi. Some people that didn't even want to drink opted for beer because they already got matcha next door. Service charge was already included yet the requirement to spend $70 a person just to dine here is ridiculous. I would come back, but not with a group of more than 4. Anyone that has friends or colleagues of more than 4 go elsewhere!

Negima was ok. A bit dry and very small piece. Tsukune was ok but they charge $3 for a sauce which is basically just an egg yolk. Tonkatsu felt like they boiled the pork chop and then fried it. Oden was very underwhelming. Thr mochi thing was unique but I didn't like it. One of the pieces was just a daikon that tasted like a daikon... Kamatama udon is just udon with the same toppings as the yosedofu. Other than the homemade udon, you can def make this at home.

I would pay at max $250 for two people compared to other sushi omakases I've tried which are just as nice if not nicer in San Francisco for better price. I would've given them 4 stars at this point since it's just price, but the reason I'm giving 1 star is because I made a reservation at 8:30pm on a Monday. We were seated at by 8:32pm. We had requested counter seating so we could watch sushi being prepped and made and we got those seats. We had left the restaurant at 9:30pm, so we spend less than an hour eating which isn't the problem. The problem is that they started cleaning at 9:15am while we're still eating our last piece of nigiri. They poured a whole bucket of cleaning solution on the counters right in front of our seating, so the smell was very small. They had provided a small birthday treat while they were cleaning but we couldn't enjoy much because of the smell and cleaning going on. I just don't understand why you would allow reservations at 8:30pm but start cleaning up before customer have finished eating and giving them less than an hour for their full set nigiri omakase. We paid premium, so we had higher expectations. My suggestion to folks reading this is that there are much cheaper and nicer options for sushi or sushi omakase in San Francisco. Go to those instead.

Probably the worst omakase experience I've had in San Francisco, which was especially disappointing because I came in with high expectations. The biggest issue was simply the sushi. The second course consisted of five pieces of nigiri, and they were shockingly bland and flavorless. There was almost no discernible flavor or character to the fish. The texture and overall experience honestly reminded me of eating chalk. For an omakase at this price point, I expected each piece to feel carefully considered and memorable. Instead, this entire course fell completely flat. Unfortunately, the service and interaction with Chef Ken made the experience even worse. He came across as rude, disengaged, and strangely condescending. I'm genuinely not sure where the hubris comes from. I've eaten at plenty of omakase restaurants, including places where the chefs have serious credentials and reputations, and I've never encountered this kind of attitude toward paying guests. One interaction was particularly off-putting. When guests were asked to guess something and got the answer wrong, Chef Ken would actually use a toy to play the "sad trombone" or "wah wah wah" sound. Maybe this is intended to be playful, but it didn't feel playful at all. It felt like an attempt to embarrass or humiliate guests for getting an answer wrong. That's especially uncomfortable in an omakase setting, where you're seated directly in front of the chef and the interaction is inherently intimate. A great omakase chef makes guests feel welcomed and engaged. Deliberately making someone feel stupid or turning them into the punchline in front of the room is the opposite of hospitality. Nobody should be paying this much money for dinner only to be made to feel embarrassed by the chef. My impression was also that Chef Ken seemed much more interested in interacting with guests who were ordering a lot of the overpriced alcohol, which only made the overall attitude more noticeable. This place had so much potential. The intimate setting and concept could make for a really special experience, but ultimately the sushi itself was disappointing and the chef's attitude made it worse. For the price, San Francisco has far better omakase options where both the food and hospitality are taken seriously. I would not recommend KEN. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Returning to KEN for the second time, I was blown away all over again. The experience is just next level. Chef Ken is the definition of a master at his craft, and the fact that this is a one-man show running out of a six-seat bar is nothing short of incredible. The fish? Flawless. Every piece is perfectly balanced--fatty but never heavy, expertly cured in his unique Edomae style. The progression of the meal is so thoughtful, with delicate first bites that ease you in and then perfectly interspersed hot and cold courses that keep your palate refreshed. He finishes the meal with a warm kamameshi rice dish that feels like the most comforting, soulful hug to wrap everything up. Chef Ken's attention to detail is insane. How one small kitchen can execute this level of precision while also curating a killer sake list (and yes, he's got off-menu sake if you ask) is beyond me. He's constantly innovating, traveling to Japan to learn from top chefs and bring back new ideas to refine his already incredible menu. And let's talk about Ken himself--he's not just an amazing chef but also such an engaging conversationalist.

Ken Omakase is truly a hidden gem and one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm welcome and an intimate, elegant atmosphere at a counter set for seven that immediately sets the tone for something special. Chef Ken is an absolute master -- not just of technique, but of storytelling through food. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern creativity. What really stood out was the attention to detail and genuine hospitality. Chef Ken took the time to explain each piece, sharing its origin and inspiration, making the experience both educational and deeply personal. The pacing was perfect, the sake pairings were spot on, and the service was seamless -- attentive without ever being intrusive. By the end of the night, I felt like I'd been on a culinary journey -- one that celebrated both the simplicity and artistry of true omakase dining. A true special occasion experience! read more

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Ken Sushi, and I can't say enough about how perfect the entire experience was. From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive, warm, and welcoming--exactly what you'd hope for a special occasion. The food? Absolutely on point. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The sushi was incredibly fresh, balanced, and prepared with such precision that you could taste the chef's passion in every bite. Each course felt thoughtful and elevated, making the whole meal unforgettable. They went above and beyond to make my wife's birthday feel special, and we left with full hearts (and stomachs). If you're looking for exceptional sushi with equally exceptional service, Ken Sushi delivers in every way. We'll definitely be back! read more

I remember being so taken by the whole experience back then, and honestly what stood out most was how personal it all felt. The attention to detail here is no joke. Every piece is cut with such precision, and the progression of courses is genuinely exceptional, each one building beautifully on the last in a way that feels intentional and considered rather than just a parade of plates. The affordability back in those early days made it feel like such a wonderful discovery, like a little secret that made you feel incredibly lucky to be in on it. It was the kind of place where the value felt almost too good to be true given the level of care and craft going into every bite. Now? Yes, it has gotten significantly more expensive, and I won't pretend otherwise. The price point has definitely climbed to a place where you feel it. But here is the thing about juni: the food and the experience are still very much worth it. The precision is still there. The thoughtfulness in how the meal unfolds is still very much intact, and that kind of attention to detail does not just happen, it is cultivated and I deeply respect that. If you have never been and you love that deeply personal fine dining experience where you can tell every single element has been considered, juni is still one of those places in SF that earns its Michelin recognition fully and completely. A true gem and one I am so glad I have a long history with!

The setting was…read moreintimate with the small counter and only seating for around 12, and the chef and staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the night. The omakase service itself had soup, nigiri and other chef choice dishes, and dessert. While the fish itself was excellent and was of high-quality, a few pieces didn't quite come together for me. Something about the seasoning and flavor of combinations felt slightly off. The price for this omakase service is generally higher than the places I've been to before. Still, a solid omakase experience with a peaceful atmosphere.

I was especially excited to try this spot after hearing about their unique sliding scale pricing system, where guests can choose from different price points depending on how much they want to spend. I went with the lowest tier at $119, and honestly, it was more than enough food. The meal included fresh appetizers, multiple pieces of nigiri, several premium nigiri selections, a "main course" pasta dish, soup, and dessert. Every course felt thoughtful, well-paced, and delicious from start to finish. The fish tasted fresh, the rice was well-seasoned, and the progression of the meal kept things interesting without feeling overwhelming. The only item that felt a little strange to me was the potato chip and caviar nigiri. It was fun and creative, but compared to how refined the rest of the meal felt, I think the caviar would have gone a longer way as a topping on a different piece of nigiri or even served as a simple caviar bump. They also had a solid sake menu, and I appreciated that they let me sample a couple before choosing one. It made the experience feel more relaxed and personalized, especially as a solo diner. Overall, this was a really enjoyable omakase experience that felt high-quality without being intimidating or overly formal. For the amount, variety, and quality of food included at the lowest price point, I thought it was a great value and would definitely recommend it, especially for anyone curious about omakase but hesitant to splurge on the higher-end tiers.

I love the vibes, the fun, aesthetic dishes and I appreciate the approach to the omakase, like being able to adjust the price point and servings. I also commend the intent of the creative, trendy sushi combinations, but it just didn't come through for me. There were some unique or surprising flavor combinations, but out of all the dishes we had, there is truly no piece that really wowed me or that I find memorable a couple weeks later. Having been to Japan and other more traditional omakases around the US, with very simple, plain nigiri or sashimi dishes with fish that blows my socks off, this felt disappointing for the price point. Also, I like caviar but really did not like the potato chip caviar nigiri concept specifically (I came for sushi, not caviar!). The service and pacing was good, and again I really like the approach conceptually, but ultimately this didn't satisfy what I was really craving for omakase. To my earlier point, this might great for people who want to prioritize the total experience and creativity, but not for "purists" that want to throw down fish and rice.

Sushi Hon was one of our stops, and I'm so glad we came in. Everything we tried tasted really fresh and the quality was great, especially for the price. My absolute favorite was the uni sushi. It was so creamy, fresh, and delicious that I immediately regretted not ordering two or three more pieces. The pricing was also very reasonable compared to some of the other sushi spots in San Francisco, which made it an even better find. We didn't get to try a ton since we were saving room for our next stop, but everything we did have was really good. I would definitely come back next time I'm in SF, and the uni will absolutely be the first thing I order.

Fish was fresh and good but I didn't like how the rice was seasoned or cooked. The rice was a bit hard and it tasted a mix of vinegar and soy sauce. I liked the tataki and ceviche appetizers. Overall it was ok. I just don't like the rice.

Unfortunately, the food, ingredients, service, and atmosphere did not come close to justifying the price. The restaurant was incredibly loud, from the music to neighboring diners. It felt more like a crowded food court than a high-end omakase. The food itself was ordinary and forgettable, with very little creativity or anything that stood out. More concerning was the professionalism. The chef made vulgar/sexual jokes with other guests, and we saw diners walk into the kitchen, handle the restaurant's knives, cut and play with cucumbers. Even more surprisingly, the chef handed a large fish-preparation knife to the diner sitting right next to us to play with, which made us genuinely uncomfortable and concerned for our safety. The chef also prepared and served food without wearing a mask throughout our meal. For one of the highest-priced omakase experiences in the area, we expected much better food, atmosphere, service, and professionalism. Unfortunately, this was nowhere near worth the price, and we would not return.

They're consistent, ambiance is simple yet welcoming, and the chefs and waitstaff/host are very friendly. Omakase itself it can get quite expensive and is a luxury, and I believe Wako is one of the more reasonably-priced ones in SF. The menu rotates, but generally you get starters/appetizers, a warm dish, sashimi, a variety of sushi served individually, miso soup, and a dessert. Everything's always presented beautifully and thoroughly explained to diners once served. I believe since Covid, Wako started offering some affordable sushi to-go options, which can satisfy your sushi cravings without costing you too much.

The add-on uni and handroll made sure I left fully satisfied. Wait staff service could have been a little bit warmer. It felt harsh and rough at times. Great place for a date. Try to sit at the bar!

At Chisai, it was quite the opposite. They gave us a good amount of time between each course to digest a little and enjoy what we just ate. This is absolutely a one of a kind restaurant and i definitely will be back!

One thing to note is that this is a reservation-only restaurant, so be sure to book ahead. We made our reservation by calling the phone number we found online, and the process was quick and easy. The restaurant itself is quite small and intimate, with bar seating for about 5-6 guests and only a few tables that seat around four people each, making for a cozy dining experience. We reserved a table for two at 5:30 p.m. and arrived a few minutes early while they were still finishing their preparations for dinner service. Our server was cordial and attentive throughout the meal. We each ordered a different prix fixe menu, and I really appreciated that they were able to accommodate that. Every course was thoughtfully prepared, and we both felt the meal was an excellent value for the quality. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to fish, but every piece was fresh and delicious--including my favorite, amberjack, which was such a pleasant surprise. We also had the opportunity to chat briefly with the chef, who shared that he and his wife took over the restaurant last year. It was nice learning a little about their story, and knowing that his wife was also our server made the experience feel even more personal. Overall, we had a lovely anniversary dinner and would absolutely come back. The food was the highlight of the evening, and while I wish the welcome had been a little warmer, it didn't take away from what was otherwise an exceptional dining experience. If you're looking for an intimate omakase experience with high-quality fish and great value, this spot is definitely worth reserving.

There's a certain warmth to the space that makes it feel special, and the sushi itself was genuinely good quality. That said, the pacing was a stretch.

Once the restaurant filled up, the rhythm noticeably slowed. For a one-chef operation, that's understandable, but worth setting expectations before you go. Overall, a solid 7.5/10.
