I want to Give this place 5 stars because the sushi chef was amazing. And what looked like an another possible owner came over and was the sweetest. Our waitress seemed irritated. Anything, I asked her she seemed annoyed and irritated. I'm The type of person to be kind anyways , which I was. But not happy that someone like that gets 20%. when I'm spending close to 500 Bucks on a meal with a party of 2. I honestly would have given a higher tip if it was to just the sushi chef. I would expect some genuine politeness, because I was was surely nice and polite. I want to put less stars because of the waitress but I feel like it would be a disservice to the amazing sushi chef. read more

My friend and I came on a Friday night at 8:30 pm and made a reservation in case it was busy. The restaurant was very modern and vibey with the lighting and the dark wooden fixtures. They had a range of items on their menu from Japanese small plates to oysters to fresh sashimi and sushi. Gindara Misoyaki (Miso Cod) - The main item we came for, this is my friend's favorite miso cod in the city and it was made very well. Everything was balanced from the light cod with a richer umami miso sauce and the sides of mushroom and radish that cut through the richness. Beef Sukiyaki - I expected the dish to be a little bigger but it was sweet and had a comforting flavor. Everything had the best textures from the meat to mushroom and noodles. It had a lot of flavor depth that paired well with the sushi rice we got on the side. Mochi Trio - This came with an assortment of 3 traditional Japanese mochis. There was a flat one that had a cinnamon flavor with red bean filling, warabi mochi that was nicely chewy and nutty and a classic strawberry with red bean flavor. All were a good amount of sweetness and the best textures. The dishes were a little on the pricier side but the quality and flavors really showed through each one. A very nice place to get dinner with a friend or have a date night. read more

We were in town and we wanted to go to one of our favorite sushi place . They had open tables , I had checked the website for availability and it was open for dinner. Didn't know how our time was going so I didn't make a reservation. They require a credit card. No problem when we arrived there was free street parking a block away. So lucky. We arrived and were seated right away. There were two of us and I was glad she didn't stick us in the window seats. We were in the middle of the place. The place had about 3 tables taken up so not bad. The chefs greeted us as we walked by. The place is clean and nice neighborhood look. There were specials on the wall and the menu had a lot my wife wanted to try and of course stuff we already knew were good. She of course loves the Agedashi tofu here. It her favorite. Next we got the Ika Karaage which was nice and yummy with extra crispy. The Beef Sukiyaki was big and everything nice and fresh. Loved it. Really full. The Gindara Misoyaki was the bomb. It was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Lastly the Kakuni , pork belly yummy. . We were so stuffed that we had to take most of the Sukiyaki home. The service was great and the food excellent. I loved it all. I wish this place was closer or in town we would eat here every week. Funny, we had so much food and it was cheaper than our regular Sushi place in town. Kind of sad since this is a Michelin Guide location. Our place at home is not. Oh well SF is a unique city and has so much great food. I always recommend this place to others. You won't be disappointed. Till the next time read more

Spectacular sushi restaurant. One of the only sushi restaurants in sf with a bib gourmand. Meaning it has good quality and good value! The staff is welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. They have real, properly trained sushi chefs. They have an immense Japanese sake selection-- many of which are unavailable anywhere else in America. The fish quality and variety is impressive. Most of the fish is overnighted from Japanese waters. They also have seasonal fish which I've never tried before. read more

Solid spot for sushi, very fresh fish, good ambiance and great service. Price is slightly on the higher end but they do accept Inkind. Here's what we ordered: - edamame - beef sukiyaki (4/5): came with raw egg to dip, slightly on the saltier side but rice helped - 4 omakase hand rolls (5/5): favorite of the night, all 4 were different and incredibly tasty (and beautiful!) - rainbow roll (4/5): for $27 I'd expect something more than artificial crab meat stuffed inside, pretty good otherwise - roppongi roll (4/5): very fresh and unique, light. Went well against the saltier sukiyaki Next time we're back we would order more hand rolls and try some nigiris. read more

As a big fan of Omakase next door, Okane is an everyday answer to the same high quality sushi. They cut from the same fish as next door, and have a more budget-friendly chef's counter omakase! It's not a big place inside, and they get very crowded, so I'd avoid going at peak times for more personalized service and to secure a seat. Their signature roll with A5 Wagyu is out of this world, with the right balance of salt and richness, all the small plates and drinks I've tried have been great, and you can never go wrong with a good omakase. read more

After a fun coding competition, my daughter was seriously craving sushi. The event food was mini muffins for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch, she needed something way better. Thankfully, my brother (who comes here often) made reservations for us, and it did not disappoint. Service was great from start to finish -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. Here's what we ordered: * Kakuni - So flavorful and the pork was incredibly tender, practically falling apart. One of my favorites of the night. * Tonkatsu - The pork was good but not great. It came with miso soup, which was solid, though we've had better elsewhere. * Hamachi Belly - Very good. Fresh and buttery. * Beni Toro - Also very good. Rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. * Townsend Roll - Good overall, but my daughter wasn't a fan of the shiso leaf on it. * Dragon Roll - Good and nicely balanced. * Kaisen Don - Not sure of the full variety of fish included, but it was pretty good. What stood out most was the rice -- perfectly seasoned and delicious. I found myself finishing the rice even after the sashimi was gone. * Oysters (chef's style) - Topped with uni, quail egg, ponzu, green onion, and caviar. Absolutely amazing. This was a standout. We were also lucky enough to find parking right across the street, which feels rare in SF! Staff was very friendly, service was smooth, and overall it was a great experience. Definitely will be back again. read more

Despite the last experience, we decided to give this place a second chance, and it was amazing! The nigiri we ordered were all very high quality, treated with care and delicious. The shrimp nigiri even came with a fried head and that head was amazing, highly recommended! Kakuni was tender and flavorful, udon was also pretty good. They have a wide selection of rolls and they all seem pretty unique. Servers were pretty attentive, atmosphere was casual but cozy. And most importantly....easy parking!! Definitely will be back:) read more

Came here for my birthday dinner! Everything was incredible. We talked to the sushi chefs while waiting for our food and they were so happy to answer all our questions. Started with the crispy rice and hamachi crudo, which were sublime. Otoro sashimi was melt in your mouth. Sashimi set was so fresh and buttery. Roppongi was super unique it had no rice and was wrapped in cucumber. Rainbow spider roll was really crunchy and so pretty too. Finished with the saba shioyake (grilled mackerel) which came with miso soup! So happy and so full Service was fast at the beginning then slowed down when it started to get busy. Perfect lighting and loved the traditional modernesque decor of the whole place. Loved being able to watch the sushi chefs in action at the counter. read more

hands down, the best sushi sushi in the bay after Omakase which is the same owners and connected by hallway to next door. my go to and hidden gem, I've been frequenting for years but it's time I share the wealth and write a review. Omakase has 1 Michelin star 4 separate years, Okana is Michelin recommended multiple years. service is great, super friendly and great staff, amazing sushi. the best. quality, preparation, pairings, ratios, flavor, salinity, and reasonable pricing for the quality and flavor. everything is top tier at Okane. I've had practically everything on the menu at Okana and everything is delicious. pick something that you think you'd like and enjoy. though the mentaiko udon for being a non-sushi item is absolutely amazing. do yourself a favor and stop wasting your money anywhere else. Okane is the only stop you should think of when it comes to authentic sushi. restaurant is not very large so be sure you make reservations if you want guaranteed seating. walk ins generally can be seated but would be party dependant. read more

Walked in on a Friday evening at 6:10pm. All the tables were reserved, but counter seating was open for an hour. Reservations are definitely a good idea. It's a small space. Not too quiet or too loud. We ordered: * edamame - good portion and nice way to start the meal * salmon roll -- daughters really enjoyed this * ikura nigiri -- also really enjoyed by our daughter * pork tonkatsu -- nice and crispy. The cutlet itself is probably 1-2cm thick; hubs loved it! * beef sukiyaki -- my fav dish! I love sukiyaki and they do theirs very well. Sauce is really good and the beef, tofu, vegetables and Shirataki noodles all complement each other very well, and goes super yum with the raw egg dip + rice Overall, really enjoyed dinner here and look forward to coming back! read more

Walking in, I was seated at the bar near the entrance. Further into the restaurant there are a lot more tables for larger parties, but I went for dinner by myself. It was a bit awkward that they handed me a Happy Anniversary card. I had forgotten that I had put down my ex and my anniversary for the day after I came here so... I was a bit confused initially. But I guess they were trying to be nice. The chef's style oysters were delicious! Super fresh oyster with uni and quail egg and caviar and a little bit of a spicy sauce that lingers in the mouth afterwards. The omakase nigiri had select pieces that were quite delicious but 2 pieces I remember thinking, this is kind of chewy or had a bit of tendon on it. I don't care for eel, but the chutoro and eel temaki hand rolls were delicious. I think it's reasonably priced (at least compared to its sister restaurant next door) if you don't feel like spending $300 pp on omakase. read more

The food at Okane was very good, the fish was really fresh and came out in a timely manner. The ribeye beef skewers were not good, the meat was tough. The chicken karage was also not very good - it wasn't crispy and didn't have much flavor. The miso black cod was delicious, very flaky and seasoned very well. We ordered 2 types of toro, and a variety of sashimi, and multiple handrolls (also very good.) Service was very attentive, the waiters refilled our waters multiple times. The ambiance felt casual but good. I came here for my birthday and while I was glad to have dined here, I don't believe I would return. read more

This place is absolutely mind-blowing... Wow! This review took me a minute to write because I honestly didn't want to gatekeep something this good! If you're visiting San Francisco, this spot is 100% worth the trip! No matter where you're coming from. The service? Next-level. The ambiance.. amazing! Huge shoutout to Uri, Kelly, Robert, and Jeff for making our experience unforgettable!! not once... but TWICE. This place has officially earned a permanent spot on our travel itinerary. If you go (and trust me, you should), do not miss the chef's counter omakase, it's pure magic. And my absolute favorite dish? The hamachi, negi, cucumber, and A5 wagyu topped with caviar and literal SPARKLING GLITTER!!! (Sorry, Marissa... but the secret's out now). Run, don't walk. read more

Had a great valentines experience here. We went for the prix fixe menu and every course was delicious. The service was lovely, they were understanding that the traffic caused us to be a little bit late, and they have a cocktail menu which isn't as common in SF at sushi restaurants. It's small but nicely designed inside and feels cosy. The only thing I would have liked would have been if they'd wiped the tables between courses. read more

We were here a few years ago and enjoyed it, with the nice decor inside that makes you feel welcomed. We ordered the tempura with shrimp and veggies. My first bite of a fried veggie was crisp and crunchy, very good. When I bit into the shrimp tempura, the shrimp was missing that firmness and texture that I expected, it felt powdery, definitely not shrimp! We brought it to their attention and waitress immediately offered to ask the chef to remake them. She explained that they have changed their shrimp supplier and maybe that's why. Our order of dragon roll also included shrimp tempura, they were the same. We still felt the remade ones were still off, albeit fresh and hot and crunchy on the outside. The friendly waitress gave us a large discount on our check for our troubles, which was greatly appreciated. read more

Was in the city and craving sushi, so I went to come check this place out. This place was Michelin Guided in 2021 so I had high expectations here. Beef Sukiyaki (4/5): It comes with beef, tofu, vegetables, and noodles. It also comes with a raw egg to dip with on the side. The broth was comforting but a bit too sweet for me. I really love the veggies and tofu that soaked up all the soups the beef was also a bit dry. The rice complemented the soup well. Chefs Oysters (5/5): Omg this was a delicacy. It came with uni, caviar, and quail egg. So much flavor in one! Shishito Peppers (4/5): was never a big fan of it but recommend this if you want a bit of spicy for your appetizer. Tuna Crispy Rice (5/5): I first thought this was going to be a typical tuna crispy rice, but the deep fried seaweed caught me by surprise. It included tempura flakes topped with a mountain of spicy tuna. They also added sauce that added great flavor. Shirokane Roll (5/5): This is similar to the Lion King roll, but this one has real snow crab. the snow crab definitely added a unique texture to it. Shibuya Roll (4/5): This includes salmon on top of the California roll. The lemon was a bit much as it overpowered the taste of the other fish. Shoutout to Gigi and Mariza for amazing service and recommendations! read more

The food was great, but the service was not. We had an 8:30pm reservation, and since the restaurant wasn't busy and several tables were empty, we were surprised by how inattentive the service was. Once seated, our server brought us water and immediately asked if we were ready to order, but we weren't. She never came back, so we eventually had to flag her down. We started with the crispy rice appetizer, which was super tasty. For sushi, we ordered the Shirokane and Shibuya rolls -- both were fresh and flavorful, but the Shirokane was our favorite. We wanted to order another, but after waiting 30 minutes and struggling to get the attention of any server (eye contact seemed intentionally avoided), we gave up and asked for the check. I've worked in restaurants and understand that there can be off nights/things happening behind the scenes, but from a guest's perspective, it felt like we were very overlooked. read more

During a recent visit to Okane in San Francisco, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. As someone from Hawaii, where we have incredible Japanese cuisine, I didn't expect to be impressed. But Okane truly delivered Michelin-star quality. The fish, especially the bluefin tuna, was incredibly fresh and exquisite. The menu at Okane features a delightful range of traditional and refined Japanese comfort food. From shareable vegetable, fish, and meat courses to rice, noodles, nigiri sushi, and innovative rolls like the Shinjuku--a combination of snow crab, avocado, and A5 Wagyu beef--there's something for every palate. Overall, I highly recommend Okane for anyone seeking a memorable Japanese dining experience in San Francisco. read more

Simple wonderful time and experience here. Simple but yet elegant decor for a small place. Parking is found by street parking, we parked couple blocks away, free of course. Friendly, attentive and cheerful service throughout our dinning. The foods are fresh and very delicious. We couldn't stop ordered from one to the next and many more. It was a delicious dinner with great service overall. read more

This romantic lil sushi spot made the perfect birthday dinner to celebrate my boyfriend. The staff was attentive and welcoming and sitting at the bar to watch the sushi master delicately prepare each item added the perfect experiential element. For a place that only serves fish imported directly from Japan, it was amazing to walk away spending only $150 total (for two people) while feeling absolutely full. The prices felt very reasonable (for SF, of course) but the quality and creativity of each item was top notch. Favorites included the chicken kaarage, temaki hand rolls, and Rainbow Roll. We ordered the Roppongi Roll after seeing it all over the reviews here (it's the one wrapped in cucumber), and while it was fresh it was a bit underwhelming compared to the other rolls -- I'd probably opt for other rolls next time we go. The staff was attentive and made us feel so welcome -- they even brought us a bit of complimentary yuzu sake and a gold-dusted strawberry matcha dessert. Wow! The sushi chefs were mesmerizing to watch work, and they were friendly with those of us at the counter. They answered questions about the fish they were preparing and offered recommendations. It felt very intimate and cozy, really elevating the overall experience. Overall, this was the PERFECT choice for a romantic birthday dinner, and I can't wait to come back. read more

I work nearby, dined here a couple of times and was pretty satisfied with the food and service. My favorites are omakase hand roll and beef sukiyaki.

We walked in without a reservation around 5pm on Friday. We were the only diners until about 6pm. The restaurant is dark and a bit intimate if it wasn't for the dance club music. For a moment I thought I was in a gay bath house or at circuit party. Staff were friendly. We ordered the following: crispy rice with spicy tuna, soft shell crab, 3 omakase temaki hand rolls, Okane roll and a yuzu sorbet for dessert. Crispy rice was great. For the omakase temaki hand rolls we got: salmon/squid, uni/scallop and tuna. A good deal at $7 for each hand roll. I've yet to have a bad soft shell crab anywhere. It's the same anywhere from my experience. I did have to ask for the spicy mayo because we got ponzu instead. The Okane roll was overly sauced. The yuzu sorbet was perfect to end the meal and a palate cleanser. read more

Decent white assortment sashimi fish over small bowl of rice with a lil daikon and wasabi, no ginger for $39. Agedashi tofu was solid, not crispy but sauce was decent - lacked daikon that would have kicked it up a notch. One server for whole restaurant at lunch time. Sushi chef complained about having to fill in at lunch today because he usually works dinners. Ambiance was mellow, clean in an isolated part of the city. read more

The food was phenomenal, as always. The attention to detail and care the sushi chefs put into every dish is evident. The occasional whiff of a charred piece of sashimi as I was enjoying my meal was a pleasant reminder of the delectable dishes Okane serves and made me want to order more and more and more!! The service was unique tonight as they were unexpectedly short staffed. I have to give the staff credit (especially you, Robert!) They rallied and provided a wonderful experience. The charm and friendly demeanor the service staff literally brought to the table really made our night. It is not the competence of a fully staffed restaurant that is the measure of an establishment - it is their ability to take what life brings to the table and to manifest an enjoyable communal, and delectable experience that deserves recognition. Tonight, they served - literally and figuratively. I'll be back soon! read more

Genuinely do not recommend going here. I mean I guess I say I'm a pretty harsh critic on yelp but this experience was sort of unbearable. We had a 6:30 reservation, and when we showed up no one came in to greet us or sit us down. There was no one at the front and it looked like it was decently understaffed (which I was like okay! i get it!!). after we had sat down, it took the staff a REALLY long time for them to greet us on the menu, or even give us water, which was super super frustrating considering how long the wait had been. I also asked for a full pot of tea and the waiter brought it out VERY late, and only gave us one cup. the food was like... just okay, I would honestly give it a 3/5 on a normal day, the rolls weren't anything special and the portions were particularly small for the price. (the entree, which claimed that they were large, contained a normal bowl of rice, four small pieces of eggplant, and a side, for like 20$). the same with the mentaiko udon, which felt as if it belonged in the portion for a course menu. We also had to wait ~30 minutes for a roll, which literally took so so long to come out, that at the point, the waitress asked us multiple times if we were good or needed anything else (clearly had no clue what was going on in this regard). the last cherry on top was that after asking for the check (and getting it promptly delivered for the first time), the waiter did not come over to take it after clearly putting the card down and waiting for another 20 or so minutes, while numerous other tables were getting cleared. all in all, i would not recommend it here, go somewhere else please! read more

Located in north San Francisco, it's a very small shop and tables fill fast. You can make reservations but not when they are super busy. We ordered a bunch of nigiri and sashimi but the highlight was the beef sukiyaki, one of the best I have ever had.

You gotta bookmark this Michelin Bib Gourmand spot! Okane is a more laid-back, authentic Izakaya compared to its sibling restaurant @omakase_sf (Michelin starred fine dining). You can choose to dine at a table or sit at the chef's bar, where you can watch them prepare each dish. The fish here is FRESH and sourced from Toyosu Fish Market in Tokyo! There is a lot of selection on the menu ranging from sushi/sashimi, yakitori, and hot entrees. No need to break your bank, get the quality of fine dining but with the comfort of casual here. * Shishito Peppers * Hamachi Kama * Omakase - Chef's Choice Sashimi (10 pc) * Kakuni * Shinjuku Roll * Wakame Salad * Miso Soup * Soy Garlic Edamame * Born Gold Daiginjo read more

I think I'd give our experience a 3.5/5 All the good --Me and my husband came on a Friday right when they opened. We had a reservation and it was not busy. We paid $151.20 for omakase dinner: a meal set including 1 handroll, 2 types of sashimi(2 slices each), 7 nigiri, soup, chawanmushi, black cod, uni ikura cup, and dessert. We've been to alot of places in sf for omakase, even their sister restaurant Omakase and in comparison, this place is just ok. I think for the amount of food you get and the fact that the service charge is included, I feel like it's an average amount for whatever we got. Not great--I would give it a 4 but I'm docking 1.5 star because the from the moment we got there it felt like the kitchen and wait staff were kinda unorganized. We heard some tables getting the wrong plates. We waited a long time from one dish to another, I think we might have waited 30 mins in between one part of the course to another. I don't know if they were overwhelmed with online orders or what but I feel like we shouldn't have to wait that long for pieces of a premade course meal. Otherwise, pretty inside, fresh fish, yummy ube and matcha ice cream for dessert. read more

OkaHas a Michelin bib to this restaurant but it was the most disappointing sushi restaurant I've been to. Everything was overpriced and quality wasn't much different than a lower end sushi restaurant. Hamachi carpaccio: what you'd expect normally Beef skewer: lowkey tasted like a meatball lol but the sauce was a good compliment to it. Happy spoon: probably my favorite. A little pricy but there's so much going on at once and everything just blended together. Sashimi- very fresh, too fresh? The toro did not have texture and was way soft. Don't listen to everything Michelin says! read more

Recently went back for dinner and there were changes to menu and quality. Menu updates included sashimi orders decreasing from 5pc to 3pc, more roll options and more hot plates. We got chicken karage, a few sashimi orders and rolls. food came out very slowly, rolls were sitting at the counter but server didn't bring to our table until we asked if that was our food? And sashimi was oddly room temperature and not the usual fresh taste as in the past. The restaurant itself is unchanged in the layout and has the same moody vibe with low lighting and relatively quiet music as before *TLDR-- would recommend other sushi places in the city for the price and quality* read more

Food was 4+ stars Service was barely 3 stars and thus the avg 4 stars We asked if we can sit at counter. They said they are full but there was room the whole time we were there. Bizarre. We ordered nigiri but didn't get any wasabi or ginger. When I asked for it, the waitress said oh do you want some? Ah. Yes since it usually comes with nigiri. We also had to ask for low sodium soy sauce. It feels like this place has high quality food but forgot that service need to be on par Now to the food - agedashi tofu was yummy 4 star - seared wagyu beef roll. 5 stars - toro nigiri 4 stars - ikura nigiri 5 stars - gomae 3 stars - Hokkaido scallop special roll 4 stars - hamachi carpaccio 4 stars We probably will try it again but hope the service will be better next time. read more

Atrocious service, but good food! It took about 25 minutes for anyone to take our order, another 15 for our edamame to arrive and then another half hour for my dinner companion's roll to appear. Meanwhile, I had to wait several additional minutes for my two nigiri, one of three items I ordered in addition to the hamachi crudo appetizer, and a roll. Our sake - which we ordered at the very beginning at the same time we asked for the edamame - arrived when we had almost finished our food. I say almost because my appetizer came last and only after I reminded the server not once, but twice that I had ordered it. We requested sparkling water which came in a 12oz bottle that we quickly finished. Thirsty, with no sake in sight to tide us over, in desperation, we flagged down a different server who eventually brought us another water which was soon empty. We were not offered another, nor did we dare request one. Throughout the meal the server barely glanced in my direction as her fleeting attention was almost entirely focused on my male companion. They comped our dessert... due to the wait on the appetizer, LoL! read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a decent experience. Located in the Design district, Okane is in the Michelin guide as a Bib gourmand and is part of the Omakase restaurant group, including Dumpling Time, Rosemary & Pine, and Niku Steakhouse. Parking is available on the street or in paid underground lot next to the restaurant. Front of the house staff had a couple Asians while behind the counter, they had an Ang Moh and Asian sushi chef which was different. The Asian sushi chef seemed to have a forced Japanese greeting while the others remained silent in the restaurant that played 90s English hit music which was also different. Started off with the Shinjuku roll which was good. There was snow crab inside and it was topped with torched A5 Wagyu beef, definitely a treat. The flavor of the rice was decent although it could have been a touch sweeter. The level of rice was perfect. This did feel Americanized... Moved on to the mixed tempura which was $16 on the menu and $18 on the bill. The mixed tempura featured 3 huge pieces of shrimp, green beans, squash, carrot, and lotus root. This was a huge portion of tempura. Quality was decent, nothing like a tempura Michelin spot in Tokyo though... Staff was available and checked up on the table once all the food came out. ~$55/head after tax, gratuity, and 6% SF mandates for lunch. read more
