    Hamachi Carpaccio
    Jasmine Ariel C.

    Corner neighborhood sushi spot. Parking is limited and we noticed a lot of people order delivery (tons of DoorDash folks) You can reserve if you have a big group. They have rotating specials. Chirashi was filling and enjoyed the gyudon, the broth was done very well. Large beers are well priced, fill about two glasses. The rolls seemed a bit pricey, so we'll stick with the dons and sashimi specials. Their specials include Blue fin tuna, will be back for more. Friendly staff and quick service. Apple Pay available.

    Chirashi Don
    Kamy T.

    Local neighborhood spot for sushi. We ordered the chirashi don, assorted tempura, and the spider & dragon rolls. We came on a Thursday night. There were a lot of takeout orders that were being juggled alongside dine-in orders, but we got our food pretty quickly. The miso soup was standard. The tempura was a bit oily, but the batter was light and crispy. My husband got the chirashi don which he said was a good portion and fresh (although he wished they explained which fish exactly was in it, as some were better than others). The rolls were also standard, a good rice to filling ratio and freshly fried soft shell crab/shrimp tempura. Seating is comfortable inside and we had our waters refilled constantly. A nice neighborhood spot to support.

    Good food, super recommend the Tuna Tartar. Service is okay. It's a decent deal for the price. Compared to the other sushi spots around the area, definitely stands out.

    10 piece omakase nigiri
    Carmen Melissa G.

    10/10! Visiting from Chicago and you should definitely check them out. The inside is so cute! Loved the miso soup and the hamachi carpaccio was phenomenal!!!!. 10pc omakase nigiri was a win. Loved and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in SF oh and our server was so sweet and attentive.

    I came at 3pm to try this restaurant but they didnt open till 4:30pm so I waited around for an hour or more till it was open. I ordered the Nigiri platter - 3 slices blue fin sashimi ,5 pieces of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll - and the miso marinated sea bass appetizer. I dont think the blue fin tuna sashimi was the best quality.... it has a strange dark red color rather than the red color of tuna. The Nigiri platter came with a salad (meh) and a miso soup (good, light and refreshing, not too salty). The nigiri was really good but not out of this world, seabass tasted great and very tender but it was a VERY small piece for $16.99. I couldn't wait to eat so I took a picture after I'd finished. Overall sushi was okay, I'm glad I came to try it cause it was on my list for a while, but its nothing out of this world. Wouldn't come again.

    Small, intimate sushi bar a block off clement street. We were sat immediately on a Saturday night. There were more children and families here than I was expecting but could be bc there was a night market close by. The fish was great and clean! No complaints :) PS: they also have vegetarian sushi options which I thought was cool

    49er Roll
    Katherine L.

    toro toro roll is really good and fatty, double hamachi is also pretty good. 49er was the weakest of them all and i wouldn't reorder. rice texture was a lil crumbly and some pieces fell apart at the touch of a chopstick. fish is fresh though. walked in for lunch and were promptly seated, waitress gave us some time to decide before coming over to take our order.

    Went out of our way to check this place out and glad we did as we were the ONLY customers due to the street construction right in front of their business. They closed CA St. in one direction. And of course, no parking either. Support locals. Quality/Quantity - Got the majority of the rolls cooked as that is my guest's preference. Naughty Kappa - Refreshing. Lion King Roll - The roll is smaller than expected, but generous salmon. Spicy Crunchy - My favorite out of all the rolls. Generous portion. Doraemon Roll - Good. Again, I expected this to be larger, see size difference compared to the Spicy Crunchy. Also available - Appetizers, donburi, udon, miso soup, side salads, desserts, daily specials, etc. They also have a vegan menu, see picture and website. Complimentary hot tea. Thank you. Atmosphere - Small local business. No business due to construction that has closed down California St. in one direction. You can see the street closure from the reflection of the window on my exterior picture of the business. Today there were plenty of table seating. Limited parking, good luck. We walked. Open 7 days a week. Service - Excellent, how could it not be since we were the only customer for lunch time...? Price - $66 + tip. Our lunch was more expensive than our dinner and my guest ordered 3 entrees + dessert for dinner; see pictures from Hong Kong Lounge. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success in the last 6 years, hoping the construction ends soon.

    Very basic sushi rolls. Heavy handed on the rice. Some rolls were very light in the filling, almost non existent. For the price I expected the rolls to stay rolled and to be more than rice. I would skip returning here. Bummer.

    veggie menu
    Kay K.

    favorite vegan-friendly spot in the richmond, love the new menu additions over the years. so many great options beyond the classic cucumber and avocado rolls and edamame. i always ask to leave the fried bits off my rolls and they are very accommodating. staff is super friendly and the food is consistent, highly recommend!

Overall a unique and fun experience for those who have not been to bullet train sushi restaurant! my entree was kind of mid for the price though so I would probably recommend opting for the sushi or bento box combos.

Been here a couple of times already and the service never failed. Even came here during the Cherry Blossom Festival and the staff were still friendly / accommodating. They even put a spicy sauce on the side of one of the katsu plates when we mentioned that my dad couldn't handle all that haha. This cozy spot mainly focuses on katsu plates, but I like how they had off menu or specials to choose from if you'd like another option. I will say though them katsu plates were just chef's kiss. The meat is pounded thin enough where it's still juicy and tender, but doesn't affect the exterior from being crunchy and a bit flaky. Nothing was dry here yallll! I also like how it already comes with miso soup and salad. Huge fan of that Hamachi Truffle special though. Think of a citrusy flavor from the ponzu, fresh fish, a bit of micro greens, and a thin slice of jalapeño that just ~works~ on a cute wooden spoon that you want to steal I could honestly eat like 5 spoons of this. I'd skip on the calamari as it was kind of skimpy to share with a large group. Only note was that their fried katsu curry was a bit underwhelming with having more slices of carrots than potato! Would love to come back if I am ever in the area.

The miso soup was a delicious way to start the meal, and when my katsu arrived, it looked amazing. The meat was hot, tender, and the portion was huge, so I definitely left full. My only suggestion is to ask for the curry on the side if you like your katsu extra crispy. I had the curry poured over it, and the breading got soggy pretty quickly. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the price. My dish was around $30, which felt a little expensive, although I can understand it given the quality of the meat and generous portions. Overall, it's a great place if you're craving katsu, and I'd definitely come back--just with the curry on the side next time!

The restaurant can be a little hidden, but it's pretty easy to find with the instructions they send before your reservation. It's located above Fermentation Lab. Just head up the stairs and you'll find it inside the old Ichi Pub space. The restaurant is small and intimate, with only 9 seats at the counter. When you arrive, walk through the Yuji curtain and check in directly with the chef since there is no host. My biggest concern with set menus is always whether I'll feel satisfied and full afterward, but that was definitely not an issue here. My husband and I were both very satisfied after the meal. Every dish was delicious, and you could really taste the quality of each ingredient. Highlights for me were the bluefin sashimi, which was so buttery and soft that it literally melted in your mouth. The skillfish was rich and decadent, and the citrus and ginger balanced the flavors. The fried fish was another favorite as it reminded me of the savory Japanese rice crackers I loved growing up. Since it's located in Japantown, parking can be challenging. We had to loop around several times looking for street parking and even had two cars take spots we were waiting for, so definitely give yourself extra time before your reservation. I would highly recommend this place! The chef changes the menu periodically based on what's in season, so it's a great excuse to come back and try something new in the future.

The location is unusual, as the restaurant is open to the mall, which is a bit disruptive. I came for the 8:30pm seating, but the previous guests were still finishing, so I had to wait until 8:45pm. The staff did not seem very concerned. Bad start. You could also hear the mall cleaning crew during dinner, which was not very pleasant. I ordered the 24-item Mizuho Menu, as did all the other guests. There were 5 guests in total (the restaurant can seat up to 8 people). Here is the menu I was served at the end of May: 1. starter: ama ebi cracker with caviar, pickled lotus root with shaved bonito, crab salad 2. nigiri 4x: isaki, iwana, myabi tai, kanpachi 3. sashimi: chutoro, hotate with caviar, umi masu, sawada 4. nigiri 8x: hirame, suzuki, inada, kurodai, shima aji, kamasu, otoro, aged A5 wagyu, kinmedai 5. hot dish: miso soup with inari and shrimp head, hokkaido uni with marinated ikura, black cod, umi masu with raw yellow egg and caviar 6. dessert: matcha ice cream with strawberry Frankly, the food was excellent. The starter was not very creative, but the nigiri were great. The sashimi selection was very nice, with some fish you do not see as often in omakase menus, such as isaki, iwana, and myabi tai, a kind of tai. Sawada was delicious and is always a good inclusion. We asked for some wasabi and received a small cup of kizami wasabi, a chopped wasabi with a slightly crunchy texture, which was a nice touch. For the nigiri, all the classics of a good omakase were present: otoro, kinmedai, shima aji, uni, hotate, and wagyu. Kamasu was also included, and it is one of my favorite fish. It is also worth noting that they age both their beef and their tuna, including the otoro that was served. A few pieces were torched, maybe a few too many. Overall, the service was not memorable, although chef Ron Au was friendly and nice. The place itself felt a bit questionable, and my expectations were not very high after the beginning of the meal. But the food was truly excellent, and for that reason I think it deserves 5 stars.
