    They had a great lunch deal. Two rolls and miso soup for 17$. All the prices are great. The server working was nice and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Also ordered a Philly roll on the side. I'll be back to try more items.

    Salmon Roll
    Izzie L.

    This was such an unexpectedly great meal. We came for the 3-5pm "good deal" and ended up staying until the 5-7pm happy hour-- Sake Bomb was just that good. I personally ordered the: + 49er's Roll (5/5) + Salmon Roll (4/5) + Chu-Toro (6/5) + Hamachi (6/5) Oh my gosh, this place has the most amazing HH nigiris. They seemed pricey at first, but once they arrived and we tried them, all 6 of us ordered another round of nigiris. These are OMAKASE-level bites! The chu-toro and hamachi nigiris were some of the most umami, tender, and well-balanced ones I've ever had. The official rolls were so reasonable for the price of around $20 each. They all looked delicious and come with a good-sized portion, enough to supplement a full meal. Service was amazing!! Our waitress taught us how to do the sake bomb game with our drinks. It was a great meal and a great experience. I will 100% be back here again!

    Teriyaki chicken and tempura bento box.
    Tomohisa W.

    Had some nice hot sake to warm up after the cold afternoon. Ordered the chicken teriyaki which was sweet and salty, tempura was good and then also had some unagi nigiri. A lot of food for a good price and best of all, very close by so didn't have to walk too far in the cold.

    This place is phenomenal! My friend is coming back and wanted to try sushi. The worst thing about this place was finding space to park. Out of all the rolls we bought the Sake Bomb roll was the best! Service was quick and attentive and provided a good experience.

    This is my new favorite sushi restaurant in the bay area. Sake Bomb is a smaller sushi restaurant in Mission but the fish is fresh, the prices are good and the service is great. I stopped by Sake Bomb for dinner and I really enjoyed my experience. I made an online reservation but we were able to be seated early, about 20 minutes. Ended up sitting at the bar but the chairs are comfortable and you get to watch the dishes get prepared. I ordered the chef's choice nigiri, seaweed salad, and of course sake and beer. My favorite nigiri piece was the chu-toro, melt in your mouth fatty tuna. The rest of the nigiri was also very good. I think it's an under rated aspect of sushi but the rice they prepare was delicious. The nigiri platter came with a fried shrimp head that was pretty good. Also forget that a spicy tuna roll was ordered and it was one of the best spicy tuna rolls I've ever had. The server recommended the Dassai 45 sake and it paired well with the food. The service was great, attentive and a good sense of humor. Overall a great experience while being a great price in comparison to a lot of the popular omakase sushi restaurants in SF. There are daily happy hour sushi specials that I would love to take advantage of if I lived closer to the city. Worth it, worth it, worth it!

    Fish bone on top right of plate.

    Ordered a dozen of oysters and a specifically asked if the oysters were raw and plain, the waitress said yes. When the oysters came out, there was a sauce in it and I said I thought it was supposed to be plain and she said oh it comes with a sauce, but it's really good. Then I ordered unagi and it had two or more bones. I took a picture of the last two. Smh they removed the oyster and unagi nigiri and the waitress came back and told me she will have to pay for it out of her pocket. How rude and disappointing having to be told this when you are trying to verbally make your point about the service.

    Volcano Roll
    Florence K.

    Came here for a Monday night dinner and made a reservation. This is one of the few places in SF that opens late. It can get popular so recommend getting a reservation! We got the volcano roll to share and I got the salmon don. The volcano roll was massive and definitely tasted unique but I wouldn't get it again. Salmon don was good and fish were fresh. It also came with miso soup. They seem to have a good happy hour menu so I would come back for the happy hour menu. Service isn't as attentive but that's because they are very busy!

    Salmon Lover Roll
    Diana G.

    Yummy sushi! I stopped by with friends to try while we were walking around the area and I was so happy that this ended up being delicious! The highlight was the Salmon Lover Roll. The fish was so fresh and the roll was very well balanced. It paired nicely with a small amount of soy sauce. The wait staff was helpful and made recommendations for the group. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was cozy, and it has a good layout that separates table areas. Overall: Great place with fresh fish to stop for a meal and I would come back again!

    salmon
    Aiza C.

    Good sushi, decently priced. Came for their happy hour! Great service! About 5 tables, usually there is no wait. their salmon is probably their best nigiri. The shrimp tempura roll was ok, the spicy salmon was very good.

    We used to love this place and splurge 3-4x a year here. Overall was happy with quality and service (although watch out - almost every visit, they left out part of our order, but still billed for it. Take pictures of items received.) However, after our last visit we were really disappointed. They're starting to skimp on portions while increasing prices. From the photos, though I ordered less pieces in December, the pieces I got were much smaller than before. The bathroom was also pretty dirty this time and despite requesting booth seating in advance (and it was available), they had us sit at a tiny table (yet allowed parties of the same size to go to the booths after us).

    Chicken karage, salmon lover
    Angelica S.

    Came here for happy hour on a Friday. Can't beat $1.50 oysters. They were a great size and the sauce was very flavorful. We ordered a second dozen after finishing the first. Happy hour is worth it for the oysters alone! We also got a sake, salmon lover roll, spicy tuna handroll, spicy salmon handroll, and chicken karage. The staff was so friendly and the service was great. They were very attentive and refilled our sake glasses when they were low. When they saw we were celebrating something, they took our Polaroid and added it to their wall. So cute! Great happy hour spot.

    Side salad! Good deal

The first time I came here, I got the strawberry matcha latte with my friends. We ordered it via delivery on DoorDash, and I'm not sure if it's just the whole delivery part, but I could not taste any part of the strawberry! It just tasted like regular cream on top. Typically I'm more of a coffee person than matcha, so I'm not a great judge in whether this was good matcha or not. But I guess it did taste ok in my opinion. The funny thing is, my coworker also said the same thing when she ordered the strawberry matcha latte a separate time! Disappointing. A separate time, we also ordered from them via delivery. This time I was eager to try their food items instead, since they have a pretty interesting selection, like those cake sandwiches and various Japanese items. I got the spam masubi, which I thought would be a solid choice. It did arrive warm, but the slice of spam that was in the masubi was so thin! It was the thinnest piece of spam I had ever gotten, and I've gotten spam masubis at a variety of places including ABC stores and other places in Hawaii, and even various stores in the States. The rice was okay, some brown rice thing with seasoning, that was decent but not my preferred white rice. Overall my two times here have been disappointing. I will really never line up for this place in person, nor will I understand why people do.

Reservations are highly recommended as we observed many walk-ins but there was a 1+ hour wait. Also, must be 21+. It's not an extensive menu - more like small bites. Appreciate the selection of Zero proof drinks. Hubs happy with the NA Suntory. I went with the Dashi Apple which was quite refreshing. Kiddo ordered the Miyabi which was quite floral. We ordered food items to share. Started with the Tebasaki (chicken wings). Kiddo liked these so much she ordered another one. Next, the pork jowl - some pieces were just fat but the meat was seasoned well. Loved the pear and pineapple kimchi - would've liked a bowl of that. The Tori Nanban Sando was another good one. The Shoji Burger is what hubs came for. Fork and knife definitely need to eat this. Pillowy soft bread, melty cheese, and the pickles all made for a tasty burger. Hubs would return for this alone. Ended our meal with the Hojicha Affogato - so good and such an enjoyable way to end our meal. We weren't rushed at any time. Service was good in that they checked on us often. I'd like to visit during the day time to check out their cafe offerings. Also, although not right away, we'd definitely return again for dinner.

    So glad this neighborhood finally has an AYCE sushi spot, and at a price that actually makes sense…read more For $40 a person you are getting a serious deal. One tip: get there early. The place fills up around 6pm so arriving ahead of that will save you a wait. They don't take reservations, so first come first served. The ordering experience is really smooth. Everything is done through an iPad at your table and the food comes out to you. They won't let you place a new order until your previous one has been delivered, which honestly is a smart system and helps with pacing so you don't over order right out of the gate. What sets this place apart from other AYCE spots is the variety. It's not just sushi. You can also order appetizers, salmon, teriyaki chicken and more, so there's something for people who want to mix it up beyond rolls. Delicious, easy, affordable and in the neighborhood. Highly recommend!

We opted for the AYCE menu, which came out to around $50 per person. - Sashimi -- pieces were on the smaller side and a little watery - Sashimi Salad -- fresh spring greens topped with larger sashimi cuts; a refreshing starter - Gyoza -- larger than typical gyoza, almost like mandu; crispy exterior with juicy filling - Poke Chip -- avocado could've been fresher, but still a nice crisp and creamy combo - Lion King Roll -- my favorite item of the night; seared salmon, avocado, and imitation crab. Wish it had a bit more torching and cheese, but still delicious - Rainbow Roll -- smaller-sized roll topped with salmon, tuna, shrimp, and avocado - Dragon Roll -- classic unagi and avocado combo; can't go wrong here - Double Salmon Roll -- salmon both inside and on top with a light lemon garnish - Heaven Roll -- tuna-heavy roll inside and out; great for tuna lovers - Bay Bridge Roll -- another standout; tuna and avocado topped with roe and white sauce - Miso Soup -- simple and comforting - Salmon Avocado Roll -- classic fresh combo with cucumber added for crunch - Nigiri (seared salmon, unagi, baby scallop, salmon avocado) -- probably the best quality items overall; loved the fatty scallop and seared salmon - Mixed Greens Salad -- underrated side with a sesame-ranch style dressing - Yammy Yammy Roll -- spicy tuna and seared tuna topped with spicy mayo and unagi sauce - Hamachi Kama -- thinner cut than expected but still buttery and tender There was no wait on a Friday night and our party was seated immediately. The restaurant has tables in both the front dining area and a quieter back section that feels more private. You order through a tablet attached to the table, which also tracks your remaining AYCE time. Service was extremely efficient and dishes came out surprisingly fast. Some items stood out more than others, but overall we definitely got our money's worth. For around $50 including tax and tip, it's a pretty reasonable AYCE sushi option in SF.

The fish were plated beautifully, and the quality was pretty good. + Shungiku Kama Sarada (chrysanthemum greens & duck breast) [6/5 - would recommend]: WOW. I was so pleasantly surprised by how fresh, crunchy, and acidic this salad was. The greens are amazing. On top of that, the duck breast was so tender and delicious-- I just wish the dish came with a few more slices. + Chicken Oyster [4/5]: I really loved how juicy this was. I normally don't like chicken because of how dry it is, but this was a great skewer. I wish the skin was a little less burnt. The chicken was also so thick that while the outside was juicy, the inside was a little drier. + King Trumpet [4/5]: Wow! These looked amazing when they arrived. I thought the flavor was great but the texture was a bit rubbery. + Kama Tama Udon (carbonara) [4.5/5]: Delicious! I couldn't stop eating this udon slathered in amazing thick sauce. + Chiizu Tori Katsu [4/5]: This was sooo good.
