Visited this spot for dinner on a Thursday and boy was parking tough. I circled the block for ~15 minutes before I could find a spot four blocks away. If you're planning on coming to this area, I'd highly highly recommend taking public transportation or an uber because parking was the worst I've ever seen it (even by city standards!) I ordered the XXX roll which had spicy tuna and cucumber inside, with salmon, mango, and avacado on the outside. The slamon tasted fresh but the tuna didn't have a very rich flavor to it. Overall it hit the spot because I was craving sushi, but I can't say I would come here again. The servers were friendly and refilled our waters frequently. The food took about 10 minutes to come out which was relatively quick. Based on the harsh lighting and the large size of the booths, I would think this restaurant is for families more so than friends read more

Cool dining experience with few interactions with servers! My friend and I came at an odd time around 3pm; there was no one else in the restaurant so we got seated immediately. We ordered 3 rolls: Cherry Blossom Roll (3/5) - do you ever get lowkey sus-ed out by tuna that's abnormally pink b/c that was us LOL otherwise it was decent Romeo and Juliet Roll (4/5) - my favorite one since scallop was fresh Rainbow Roll (3/5) - normal/nothing special Overall, I felt like it was cool to try especially with the rocket gimmick but not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

I love coming to Rocket Sushi for a quick sushi fix. I love how the sushi comes out in a rocket, which is different from the typical conveyor belt sushi. My favorite rolls are the Black Angel, Chef, and Family Affair rolls. When you check in on Yelp, you can also get a $1 sake, which is a plus. The food does not come out extremely quickly, but I feel like that is understandable as it could take some time to make the rolls, especially if the whole restaurant is packed. The restaurant itself is very big and very spacious as each table is really big and can fit many people in a group. It is pretty convenient to get to via public transportation as it is on Market and is close to multiple areas (Hayes, Mission, Civic Center, etc). Parking is not the most convenient but not the worst; there just isn't much parking directly by the restaurant. read more

Love this sushi place! The restaurant is very cute with rockets bringing you sushi. They have great quality fish with big pieces! The service is great as well! read more

Honestly I didn't have the highest expectations for Rocket, since the location isn't my favorite. The quality of the sushi surprised me! The interior has a lot of booth tables, and you order on an iPad. The service was really sweet! The prices are a little steep but some of the dishes like the boston roll were quite hefty rolls. read more

The sushi here tastes great and we loved the massive pieces of sashimi we received with our order. We also got the golden spicy salmon roll, which was the perfect amount of fried to fresh ratio. The Romeo and Juliet was also a favorite with so much flavorful fish. We also got the double hamachi roll, which as a big hamachi fan, I couldn't get enough of. All in all rocket sushi is a solid place with lots of great roll options and fantastic sashimi. read more

Amazing food especially the sashimi. The rolls though a little pricey back it up with a ton of fish and awesome flavor. I respect any place where the edamame is a reasonable price. Very busy place so delivery took a long time. Be prepared for that and this is one of the best take out sushi places you can get read more

Just ok. The fish seemed fresh but not tasty. I don't know why/how sushi chefs can make the fish taste different but some have flavor and others do not. The biggest turn off for me (which may be a turn on to others) was the size of the sushi and sashimi. They were huge pieces. I've never had sushi that requires two bites. It's just not enjoyable with such a large piece of raw meat. It felt more carnivorous than delicacy. It was like gnawing on a side of a raw fish. They could have easily made two pieces of sushi from the one and it would have been much better. It wasn't bad but I think the size turned me off. Felt too primitive and barbaric. I suspect many will like it and it's not bad. But, the size just bothered me. read more

great sushi at an affordable price. plus who doesn't like nasa space shuttles?? its so great!

This was a fun concept for sushi! The rocket zooms by with your food so no need to wait on waiters to order or get your food! Pros: lots of options of speciality rolls, nigiri, sashimi, ramen and more Cons: a little bit on the expensive side Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 3.5/5 Taste: 4/5 read more

The unagi don tasted like it had been thawed, frozen and then thawed again. It was over sauced and it tasted like mush. I actually had to spit it out. Don't let the presentation fool you. I asked for extra sauce on the chicken teriyaki and there wasn't any. I've done this several times. It's never happened. 2 stars instead of 1: the gyoza was good. read more

Had a spicy tuna roll. It weirdly tasted sweet and mushy. I walked home and threw up immediately. This place is bad and the atmosphere is also bad. read more

We were on our way back to Chicago from a fun ski week in Sun Valley, Idaho when United Airlines made us an offer we couldn't refuse to spend a night in SF. We jumped on it for the travel vouchers and our kids were super excited for their first trip to SF. While it's my home away from home for work, my kids have never been. We quickly put together a fun night of SF activities, which we knew needed to include a delicious sushi dinner. My daughter really wanted to shop at Aviator Nation and Rocket Sushi was nearby. The concept is so fun for kids...and adults! You place your order on the iPad at your table and a rocket brings you your food. Genius! My first thought was they must save a lot on employees, but we had lots of attention from wait staff bringing us drinks and cleaning up after us. The sushi itself was super fresh and tasty too! We started with edamame and massive fresh pieces of salmon sashimi, which were so filling. We also ordered a bunch of rolls - the cherry blossom (so so), double hamachi (good) and a roll with scallops inside (great). I filled up pretty fast, yet that rocket kept delivering food! Fortunately, my sushi loving 8 year old at the kids table behind us is a bottomless pit when it comes to sushi and ate every last bite at his table...and ours. Everyone agreed this was a fun, tasty dinner. It truly was perfect for our 1 night in SF! read more

Amazing Japanese food with a cool method of delivering your meal to you. I only order some appetizers - spicy edamame, miso soup and shrimp/veggie tempura. The tempura was delicious - I really enjoyed the broccoli and squash. The shrimp had panko battering which was not too much. The edamame was much more spicier than I thought they would be. Looking forward to heading back to try some more items. read more

Service is super friendly. Came afternoon and there was a $1 hit sake special if you ordered $50 plus. Also ordered chefs sushi. The ten sushi nigiri were all fresh and portion very generous. However sone of the fish taste may be blend. Definitely quality may suffer slightly due to the enormous margin cuts To satisfy late night Chinese food craving this is the place. But just don't expect the chefs special to taste the same as higher quality. read more

I've been here a handful of times now, and it was my first time doing takeout. The service was excellent; I called to make sure my order would arrive a bit earlier than I had initially scheduled, and it was ready right at 5pm. They provided extra utensils as well. The food itself was worth because the portions were all pretty substantial and good quality. read more

This was a fun sushi stop! We found it by accident and didn't realize that it is called Rocket Sushi because your sushi literally arrives on a rocket! That was a nice touch. The Volcano roll was my favorite. The teriyaki chicken was nice and tender. I find cooked chicken is normally dry at sushi restaurants but not here. The ginger side salad was good. We enjoyed the food. read more

The prices are a bit high than I've paid elsewhere for two pieces of nigiri, but the quality and portion of fish was excellent. The nigiri came out pretty quick with gyoza soon to follow. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. read more

Great device with great food! You can seat yourself and when you do, you can order your food from a tablet at your table. You can even request service from the device. I had the spicy miso ramen and my fiancé ordered sushi, tuna and salmon. After you place your order, you wait for a "rocket" to come down a conveyor belt to bring you your food. I had so much fun watching this thing fly pass the booths with food. The miso was so flavorful and spicy that I couldn't stop eating it. Top five ramen for sure! My fiancé said the sushi was really good and fresh and he filled up on it. We also had tempura veggies and fried dumplings. When I'm back in the city, I'll come back for a nice lunch. I did want to mention that this place has gender neutral bathrooms and the bathrooms are kept so clean and neat. The staff here is amazing! read more

Dropped by for lunch and the rolls were good, filled us up, and the service was very friendly!

Sushi here is pretty good! Its not too expensive and has a fun vibe. They have the little train rocket that sends out the meals and it is very easy to order your food - you order on a little kiosk! Would recommend for fun vibes. read more

Rocket Sushi is our favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant! They are quick and reliable for take-out, and we LOVE bringing out of town guests to eat here (and surprising them when the rocket delivers our food). The Black Angel Roll and cheesecake are amazing. We would say this place is out of this world!! read more

Just ate here again the other night and the sushi was great. Rolls were actually bigger than usual and the otoro nigiri was pretty fatty and fresh tuna. I appreciate the real wasabi they had on the tuna too. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for so long and luckily got to go today! We stopped by at 3pm (which, first of all, is a miracle considering how rare it is to find a sushi restaurant that's not on a late afternoon break) and there were about 3 other booths occupied and we got seated right away. It definitely seemed like the space was set up to optimize for their takeout orders but even still, it was still spacious and pleasantly decorated, clean, and bright inside. Revolving sushi, bullet train sushi, ROCKET SUSHI, you name it, I love it. I love the concept of being able to choose what you eat at your leisure, not to mention you can continue your social (or anti-social) interactions at the table without being interrupted by servers or having to decide all that you want at the start of a meal. I knew the interaction was going to be fun but the quality was really great as well. I would get everything we got again. Can't wait to come back here with a bigger appetite! read more

Rocket Sushi - My expression when I saw the food. - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had to redeem myself with a really good sushi place and this is it! First off, $1 sake when you order more $50, no problem sir. Orders are done 4 at a time and shuttled to your table on these rockets! That definitely puts a little excitement in your day. On the menu: Black angel roll - yum! The tuna literally melts in your mouth. It's topped with tobiko so it gives you a hint of sea salt that brings out the flavor of the tuna. Romeo and Juliet - oh man this is how scallops should be served. Super fresh no fishy smell or taste. Golden spicy tuna roll - my fav - tuna with a spicy kick all rolled up and fried Amaebi - the sweetest shrimp you'll ever meet Toro sashimi - literally like butter melting in your mouth. Veggie Tempura - just because who doesn't like deep fried everything? This fed 3 people and we were stuffed. I would give this place a 4.5 if I could. Why not a 5? 5 usually has me craving for more. No cravings, but definitely satisfied. Trust this place is the business. read more

Rocket Sushi - Romeo and Juliet Special Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The place to go for instant hunger relief. Sit down, order from the screen, food zips to your table via rocket ship on a track system. Ridiculously generous portions, I was hungry, & had to take some to go. Tip, order a couple dishes, see if you're still hungry. The hamachi & maguro nigiri was quality, not chewy, thankfully, since it was melty in the mouth, easy to bite in half. Wakame salad came in a deep bowl, shrimp tempura roll stuffed with cucumber, pea shoots, tobiko, & sauce. This is a great place to bring kids- cause... rockets. Easy to linger here in the large booths, you don't feel pressured to eat & run. In fact, I'm writing this review here. Free refills on my iced tea. Friendly wait staff will explain the ordering system, bring you beverages, ginger, soy sauce, & wasabi, as well as the bill when you're ready to check out. Destination dining. read more

Such a cool conveyor belt sushi experience with yummy and affordable rolls! We ordered golden spicy salmon roll, chef special roll, and cherry blossom roll.

Rocket Sushi is super fun, the fish is fresh, and I had a wonderful time! You order on a tablet and a model rocket will LAUNCH your food to your table! My favorite you must get is the Blue Fin Toro because the marbling so so beautiful and it tastes rich and salty! Get the Black Angel roll too as it is topped with caviar! You will NOT leave Rocket sushi hungry as the rice and fish ratio is massive compared to other sushi places! Overall, Rocket sushi serves fresh high quality fish that is enjoyable and tasty! read more

I've managed a restaurant before and I know the taste/smell of iodine. They seem to have too high a concentration and/or don't rinse it off well enough. It's strongest in the miso soup, and have avoided that. but this time the caterpiller roll and spicy tuna roll tasted of iodine. I won't be ordering again. :( read more

Food quality and taste were ok, pretty average/on par compared to other sushi places . But this place is pricey and it adds up really quick. But food came really fast, so that's good. Maybe because there weren't many people. It's an average, ok place read more

I came here on Valentine's Day and as soon as we got seated, I kid you tf not, there was a full grown man ahh cockroach on the table behind the tablet that you order from. Very unsanitary as I observed while waiting to be seated that the tables were NOT wiped down in between guests, also when we sat down at the cockroach infested booth, there was still trash from the previous guests under the table. Very disappointed, very disgusted, very disturbed. The biggest cockroach ever like fr not exaggerating hella huge! Zero stars if I could but unfortunately forced to put one. read more

Food is pretty good, higher than you would expect. Works well with young kids. We went back a few times. A bit disappointed on our last visit. I got charged $211.07 instead of the $202.00 I signed for. Somebody self attributed an extra tip apparently... read more

Ordered this on grubhub without issues. The sushi here was fresh and tasty. I ordered the double hamachi roll and the tekka maki roll. Both were good but the double hamachi was the stand out. I would definitely order from here again but it is a little on the pricier side and I'm not sure what's it like to eat at the actual restaurant. read more

Usually the word "conveyor belt" doesn't evoke images of high quality sushi. Rocket sushi is here to change that. Each table comes with an ipad where you can place orders of up to 4 items at a time. Then your food comes to your table on a rocket- how fun! The sushi quality here is so fresh and they don't skimp on ratio of fish either. Highly recommend: - Toro nigiri - Cherry blossom roll - Tempura - Double hamachi roll This was enough food for two people, we left STUFFED. Which is rare from sushi. read more

First time coming to Rocket Sushi and had a great time. Our group of 4 decided to make a reservation for lunch on a Sunday. They were also able to accommodate for our change in the # of people who were coming with us so that was nice. There is plenty of street parking nearby which we were happy about since parking in the city is rough. We were seated right at our reservation time and to our surprise, there was no one really there. Our server came and explained the bullet train sushi concept and how to order from the tablet. There is a tablet at every table and that is what you use to order. Their menu has a lot of options. I was surprised to see a vegan menu because not many sushi places have that. All of the sushi is served on a bullet train that comes by to your table with your order. We ordered four rolls and thought that they were all delicious. The sushi definitely seemed fresh. I do not exactly remember the names of each of the rolls, but I enjoyed every single one of them. Portion sizes were pretty filling and the prices seemed reasonable for sf. Staff were also great at refilling our drinks. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Came by around 3pm on a Sunday and was seated immediately. Might need to park a few blocks down since it's located in a busy area. The restaurant is pretty big and spacious, really friendly service and cool experience of ordering from an iPad at your table and watching your sushi arrive on the conveyor belt system. For me, the rolls were a bit too heavy on the rice. read more

For me it was just ok. I had items off of the vegetarian menu. Rolls were too thick and too packed for me to feel this is how authentic sushi should be. The little rocket sending your food to your table is cute, but it's pure novelty. I don't care for computer picking my food items...would like to have a person take my order and make suggestions, etc. I see a lot of people like this place so maybe it was just their vegetarian items that didn't impress, not sure. Vegetable tempura was good. read more
