No complaints and good music except for Saylor Twift tunes. 2nd time in here but it's been a minute. Originally we were over on Polk Street but it was a zoo and my partner was craving sushi. Short walk and here we are. Back in the day before people were lazy and actually went out to eat I would sometimes judge a restaurant by the number of people there at any time. Back then no patrons equaled witness protection place or Russian front. With Door Dash, Uber Eats and any number of delivery and take out services that may not be the case anymore. Walking in tonight we were a little concerned since Polk Street was packed and only one other couple at a table here. We stayed. So in this day of delivery this place may not have a lot of people in the seats but the number of take out orders is constant. If the people doing take out, Door Dash, etc were actually here there would be a line out the door. Over the evening other people came and ate inside. Staff constantly checked in on us and we ordered more and more. read more

Wasabi & Ginger - Not part of the menu!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our second time at Wasabi & Ginger. We were hanging around SF, and felt like sushi. A quick search yielded Wasabi & Ginger, and upon entering the place we realized we had been there before. There were a couple of other groups at tables, but most of this business' traffic seems to be in take-out orders. It was non-stop with pickup people coming in for orders. My partner says you used to be able to measure the success of a restaurant by the number of tables it fills, but now it's by the number of take-out orders it gets, and in this place that definitely appears to be the case. Service was good, the lady who appears to be the manager/owner checked in on us regularly. We kept it light with salmon sashimi, veggie gyozas, and miso soup, and we tried their Ozeki premium sake, which was yummy. Good sake selection for sure. We took our time and were not rushed at any point - this always goes a long way with me. Great music too! Upbeat modern dance music, no downer pop! In fact throughout our Valentine's weekend in SF, we did not encounter a single place playing downer music! What a pleasant surprise. Is downer pop in eateries just an East Bay thing? I wonder. But I digress. Prices are reasonable. Would return. read more

A hidden gem! One of my favorite sushi roll places in SF! Service is always welcoming, warm, and friendly. The interior is clean and modern. They play Warriors games! I like running and walking here--it's also pretty bikeable and accessible via Van Ness buses. Occasionally, we do Doordash, and it still tastes good after delivery! I like the Double Hamachi Roll, Pink Dragon Roll, Lion King roll, SF roll, and Romeo and Juliet! They use good quality fish and it's filling. Good ratio of fish to rice with unique sauces that are not overwhelming. I keep coming back! read more

I ordered delivery from here and it was absolutely amazing! I got the double hamachi roll, spicy tuna roll and Philly roll. The ingredients tasted so fresh and the rolls were a good size. The delivery arrived quickly and the driver was friendly. Can't wait to try more things and check out the ambience in person. read more

While I can't speak to the service/dine in experience, I have ordered takeout from Wasabi & Ginger and have had a great experience. Their main dishes I.e. chicken katsu, chicken teriyaki etc. are solid portions and the basic rolls are reasonable as well. Everything comes thoughtfully packaged and is always promptly ready when we arrive to pickup. Prices are to be expected for SF. We enjoy this neighborhood spot when we need dinner in a pinch and don't want to go far. read more

Nice quite location, subtle music playing in the background. Sat near the sushi bar and saw the sushi chefs putting in work! Server was very nice, ordered a few apps and sushi rolls. We were the only ones there but it ended up getting pretty busy right after we got our food. Hamachi kama was a big collar, loved it with the ponzu sauce they served with it. read more

We went on a Friday night and hadn't been before. Absolutely delicious sushi and a very fair price, really beautiful bar area. We were confused why there weren't more people, because the food was sooooo on point. Definitely recommend trying this spot for a go-to yummy sushi place but not spending a fortune. read more

Incredible food, incredible service! Their unagi and their tonkatsu ramen are delicious

First time at this Japanese restaurant, and there's nothing really too special about this place. Typical Japanese restaurant with a basic menu. Parking is really hard, and their sushi tasted very "fishy". The service is really good, but it wasn't really busy when I went so I wouldn't know how their service would be on a busy time. Ambiance is cute inside, and I like how it's dim with different Japanese decorations to make you get the feel of being in Japan. read more

I got sushi from this place from Uber Eats and it was so good I got it for a 2nd time the next day! What was a hidden gem was the veggie tempura. The veggies were large and the pieces were very flavorful and the perfect texture. The best part is it stayed crisp and warm even for delivery. Sushi was also fresh. Looking forward to trying in person. read more

I've ordered delivery from Wasabi & Ginger a couple of times but had never been inside. Now that I've had the chance to dine inside, I wanted to make sure I wrote a review! I went with three other people for dinner recently. It wasn't that busy, so we were seated right away. We looked over the menu and decided to order a few appetizers and rolls to share between us. The food came out pretty quickly, and we all dug in right away, so I only remembered to take two pictures! We enjoyed all of the roles and the appetizers and were happy with the amount we had ordered. The prices are reasonable for SF and the service is really friendly. I really liked the asparagus beef! read more

Placed an Uber eats order at 8:45 last night. Restaurant accepted the order and decided to close after that. Since they accepted, I'm out $90 and Uber won't do anything about it. Be careful when you order from here. read more

Order Uber eats, payed 64$ for this. I was disappointed with the size of the hand rolls who cost about 7$ each. This is ridiculous pricy for the size. My whole order was noting that I expected. Price are super high for the amount they provide read more

I was in the bay area and saw this place while walking by. It was a Sunday night so they we're pretty slow. They have a great menu and so twist on rolls that I haven't seen before. I had a go to spider roll, this is perfect roll for those who have never had sushi and one of my favorites for years, it is deep fried soft shell crab, avocado and tobiko (black caviar) you can ask for no tobiko but it doesn't really take over the taste. Next I went for something I never had before the double Hamachi roll, this is yellow tail rolled and on top with jalapeños spicy cream and wasabi seasoning, it was smoothe and delicious, but spicy so if you like the spicy go for it. I also had beer and hit saki a great meal over all. They give you edamame as appetizer with your meal. Good job Wasabi & ginger, I hope to return again. I recommend this restaurant highly. read more

This seems like a more popular place for takeout than eating in. I was really excited to try the Romeo & Juliet Roll which is supposed to be really popular here. The sauce was definitely spicy, so I'm glad they offered it on the side for me. To be honest, I was disappointed that it was so small. Definitely not a regular sized roll -- slightly larger than a maki-type roll. However, everything tasted great and very fresh. I don't recommend the salmon maki though. For some reason it tasted hard to me as if the rice was not fully cooked. The caterpillar roll And Hamachi nigiri were excellent. The best surprise was the miso clam soup which we were so excited to try, that I forgot to take a picture of it. Overall, I would give this place a 3.5 if we were able to give half stars, but it gets an extra half star because it was clean and quaint inside. read more

Wasabi & Ginger was close to our hotel so off we went. The rolls were good, the sake was gross (I think all sake is gross but I drink it anyway) and the service was fine. The fish tank was an odd choice, like, "These are the chosen ones!". I totally failed to ask for the check-in offer of free chicken something or other. Don't be stupid like me. Get the free chicken. read more

So yummy and fresh. A great spot with easy pickup. I highly recommend the albacore nigiri, dragon roll and salmon teriyaki.

The food was okay, service was good, pricing okay, Seems like they mostly just do take out. No wasabi or ginger was offered? We were the only people dining in. We eat at sushi bars in the Sacramento area weekly. First thing you're brought is, wait for it, Wasabi & Ginger! For that neighborhood they seem to do ok business. The ambiance not so great, all their focus was Togo business not in person dining. Wouldn't say stay away but not what we are use to in Sacramento read more

I literally think they have the best sushi and food in the city. Love this place, it's my go to. I also bring my out of town guests here or order it in. I have never had a bad dish. Not the least expensive but very high quality. read more

Wonderful sushi takeout after a long day of exploring SF. We ordered a variety of rolls for takeout and ate them in our hotel. We were very happy with taste, quality and very generous portions. Sauces and flavors were well balanced and not overdone. Everything held together well. Very filling. read more

Their management is not accommodating well to take-outs. I stood by the window for my order just to be ignored for over ten minutes. Four employees including the chefs saw me and made eye contact. No one came to talk to me until I yelled out when I can get helped. Then one of the employees asked me what I want unapologetically. I told him the name of the order, and he came over to hand me over my food that was sitting on a table after waiting some more. The food was there the whole time ‍. And he literally said nothing. Just handed the bag over. There were others waiting around, too. read more

Stumbled across this place while we were walking around the neighborhood on a Tuesday night. No wait in line at 5PM. A pleasant surprise! Five stars for service and complementary edamame, chicken karaage (for checking in), and ice cream. To keep it short, food was tasty, prices were very reasonable and fish was fresh. The omakase sushi 10 piece was only $30. read more

Between the sake + sapporo and other madness it's a miracle I remember this place. My only real memory is that the next day I woke up and I was missing $60, which is what I think my tab was. My friends were kind enough to recap the experience for me. Apparently, we had all kinds of rolls, but since I'm such a little bitch I only eat the Salmon/cream cheese rolls. Allegedly, I won't eat anything that sounds "funny." The waitress was very attentive and catered to our every whim. We got that little private room on the left where you can "act a fool" (copyright - Ludacris) and not have to look at other patrons' disapproving looks. It was a great place for a party of 13. Apparently we roll deep, apparently. read more

I live very close to this sushi joint and I don't think I'd come here again. I ordered two rolls for pick up over door dash because there is no inside seating. I ordered the X roll and the Volcano roll. Not to be harsh, but I was very disappointed to the point were I was questioning the freshness of the ingredients. The rice seemed old and stale and the fish tasted rubbery and not fresh at all. The taste was generic and reminded me of gas station sushi. If I get desperate enough to retry this place in the future I hope it is improved! read more

The service attitude is very poor, the food is served slowly and the food tastes terrible

Pretty good quality sushi, I get the toro lovers roll. You really can't go wrong with their rolls or nigiri. It's also convenient to my place. The inside dining is open, most people think it's pickup only read more

Sushi... good Drinks... good Soup... good ... but this place has something to offer beyond a decent Japanese meal. Personality. At every sushi place I've been to I'm greeted with the generic yelling and shouting... and at first this place too. But then the next time... they remembered my name.... food... drink... etc. Good food combined with good company... because doesn't everyone want to go where everybody knows your name? :) Ps ask for Andy, he's the awesome artist to all these read more

My favorite go to neighborhood / take out sushi spot. Always have a Pink Dragon roll in my order. Salmon nigiri is also always fresh.

When I'm craving sushi during SIP, this is my go-to spot. I've ordered from Caviar, DoorDash, and GrubHub, and have had pleasant experiences each time. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and I really like how neatly packed the food comes too!Never any spillage. The only thing I ever didn't like there was the salmon skin hand roll. It was too deeply fried, hard, and barely could taste any fish. Felt more like a tempura hand roll, so maybe pass on that...other than that though, there's a delicious extensive menu that I highly recommend! Any of the sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri are sure to be winners. read more

Super delicious and fresh sashimi and sushi (especially the uni - sooo good!!!!!!) Also really particularly loved the udon. It's served in a steamy fishy broth that cleansed your palate very nicely. :-) The atmosphere is great and in the front, there are some fun Japanese-style dining tables. Great for both small and large parties. Overall, this is an excellent sushi spot with all the classic sushi items perfected :D (bonus: they offer free valet parking which is a dream in this parking nightmare heck of a city!!) read more

Some of the better sushi we've had in the city--which is surprising since there was a big group of obnoxious Marina-kids sitting in the private in-floor dining room at the entrance. Sushi quality was very good--fiancée loved the tako, amberjack, and toro. Decent uni. I really liked the Romeo & Juliet roll which has raw scallops on top, and salmon and avocado on top. Prices are also very reasonable, at $8-$12 per roll, and $4-$8 for 2 pieces of nigiri or sushi. They had space on a Friday night at 8:30pm--I think it's because it's outside of the hearts of Pac Heights and the Marina. Good for us! This will be a go to spot from now on, and we will definitely be ordering delivery from here. Yay! Check in, and get free karage (fried chicken bites). read more

Don't normal leave reviews; however, I ordered food from here five nights ago. Am I still sick. Zero stars

Was craving sushi last Saturday and decided to place a to-go order here. It did not disappoint at all. I ordered a miso soup, a tempura roll, a double hamachi roll, and tempura portabello mushrooms. The tempura roll and double hamachi roll were fantastic - I especially enjoyed the double hamachi roll out of the two. I'd highly recommend ordering that as a first timer. The tempura portabello mushrooms really blew me away though. It came with about 5 or 6 pieces of yummy fried mushrooms that were accompanied by this super delicious spicy mayo sauce. I'd come back just for that dish and sauce alone. I'll be back to Wasabi & Ginger in the near future! read more

Great sushi and fairly priced. Part of our weekly rotation since our kids love their ca roll n unagi hand roll. The mixed tempura and miso cod are delicious too! read more

Great tempura, rolls, good service, and the expected annoying parking. Well worth a visit.

I had take out from here and i loved it! Everything was so delicious. Best takeout of any type that i have had. So many things to choose on the menu but i had: Sushi, ceviche, soft shell crab, muscles, gyoza, tatare, mochi - all 10/10 Will definitely be back read more

I would definitely recommend bringing your group to Wasabi & Ginger. Ideally, you can get one of the big tables that seat about 10 (or both tables) in the private room in the front of the restaurant. Here, you can sit on the floor and dangle your feet into the pit! The food is very good and there are tons of choices. I love their sushi and other friends also swear by their chicken teriyaki. There are also tons of great sake choices and some of the very good chilled sake is at quite reasonable prices (about $5-$6 for a small bottle). I've been to several parties at Wasabi & Ginger before going out on Polk or elsewhere and ten of us will be back there tonight in all our sake-drinking glory! ;) read more
