Solid sushi spot if you're in the area. Came here for lunch and overall no complaints. Fish was fresh. Staff were friendly. I will say maybe ambiance could be better in terms of eating in but also not a biggie if you're just looking for something casual and no frills. read more

Yuubi Japanese Restaurant - Hamachi Carpaccio - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on a saturday and lunch and it was just us. we got the hama hama roll, 49ers, spicy tuna roll, hamachi carpaccio, vegetable tempura, romeo and juliet roll, and salmon belly nigiri. 49ers was my fave. the veggie tempura came with two shrimp, eggplant, broccoli, sweet potato or carrot, serrano pepper and a zucchini. fish tasted fresh and nice. I didn't like the hama hama roll cause evidently I don't like seaweed salad. the more you know. the vibes felt kinda of dark inside. maybe new paint no carpet. server was very nice and food came out timely. lots of seats. read more

Yuubi Japanese Restaurant - This was my Nigiri!? Amazing! - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

We have had this spot a couple of times. It's decent but for the Japanese food in the area, I would do a cost cross comparison. Xiao Xiu across the street I feel like has better bento boxes at a cheaper rate. Idk I feel like the quality has been best described as a somewhat whatever and honestly I don't remember the prices. So if it's decent for yall then the price is reasonable. I always thought this place was a front lol. That's a joke, for the record. Service is always nice. Ambiance is there's lots of seating. I've gone here like 3 times to try something else when Xiao Xiu, Sushi bistro or even my favorite Tekka is closed and I needed my Japanese fix, and I have always felt that I spent too much for kind of whatever food read more

Good neighborhood Japanese spot when craving some sushi. I ordered from here a few times because they have a large selection of sushi rolls, including my favorite: the lion king roll.

Great selections with reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant is clean with good atmosphere for gathering.

Ordered my food Togo and it came out so fast (especially since I ordered the lion king roll). The server let me sit at a table and even brought me a glass of cold water. They did not know this but I had come back from a 12hour plane ride and just needed something to eat. Their service was phenomenal. Everyone said bye to me when I left. Made me happy with my choice to go here just to be welcomed and be greeted with care. Sushi was delicious! The 501 was a new roll I was nervous to try but it was sooooo good. read more

I order here pretty often. I treat myself to the omakase nigiri when I can but I always get the salmon belly with truffle & the ocean trout. The only disappointment is when they give me the same thing in the omakase nigiri for the nigiris I have order. Please change it up if it's already been ordered. read more

Yuubi Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Our latest group get-together was here for Sunday lunch in late March. Worried about the parking situation in the notorious Inner Richmond, I got here about thirty minutes before our reservation time, finding a space block and a half away. Having some gifts to carry, I walked in fifteen minutes early and was seated at a long window table at the far corner. Our gracious host ordered several appetizers to share including the chicken karaage (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WKmKDEY86beUUC9kkqTfXA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), gyoza (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4qYFa2F4gchF9IRU9UYeCA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), Dragon roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7rSPyrYu9cofpMxCwKr9Kg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), and Warriors roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L4ni0G6tQqxCHPcecUHDpA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). We also shared small dishes of cucumber salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Q-6S5M2viYXqA7CdQ44Wkw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), Goamme (boiled spinach with sesame dressing) (), and Wakame (marinated seaweed salad) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xBHDg8m69pYPy_furFzXUg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Everything was okay with the spinach being my favorite with the different flavor and texture. Besides this, I wanted to be adventurous in trying items not often found in other local Japanese restaurants. I ordered the Wagyu beef tataki (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WM3OjYdMvdLNfGkjFY_0hw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) which we shared but only four of the eleven guests tried. I enjoyed this as the tender slices were dressed in a light ponzu sauce and garnished with shreds of onion. I also pivoted to the lobster hand roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2e9r4t-kpvVBs-6LfFlwGA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) after seeing little price difference from my normal spicy tuna hand roll go-to. Please note that it is made with lobster salad so you aren't disappointed by expectations. For my main meal, I had the poke don (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4XAS44S4I7mmLajd4wcL8w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), described as diced mixed sashimi, omelet, and cooked shrimp. It's too bad that I didn't read the menu description until now as I didn't remember any egg in my bowl though it was interesting to have macadamia nuts scattered in it. It became a bit one note for me with marinated pieces of tuna, salmon, and scallops. The nuts didn't add anything to this meal for me. The lady who waited on us was efficient and friendly, bringing our shared dishes wisely positioning them, removing empty dishes and bowls, and adding water to our glasses and teapots. She also offered and brought us takeout boxes and bags before we asked, seeing the amount of unfinished food. My friends saw a large fish jowl in their refrigerator display as we walked to our table. Our gracious host asked whether it was available and could be ordered. She explained that it was tuna, not hamachi like most places, and that it would take 45 minutes to prepare. With a tight afternoon schedule that day, we passed on it. I would return if in the neighborhood but would likely have a bento box next time. read more

The food at Yuubi never leaves me disappointed but it also never blows me away. It is perfect for a low key dinner when you live within walking distance and don't want to cook, but isn't quite a destination. The goamme is flavorful but the dressing is too heavy, the Kinpira Gobo is a little oily and the Tamago pales in comparison to other sweeter, more robust versions. Nothing is unenjoyable but they all fall short of top marks. The service is very friendly, but the space is too loud with blaring pop music and congested with delivery service drivers at the front. read more

Always a pleasure being here. We come often and always treated well and like family. Tonight there was a new dish on the menu, CURRY! We ordered it and loved it. You could tell it was done the right way, excellent developed flavor. Worth a try, there is really no better curry in the Inner Richmond! read more

Deciding where to have dinner, our friend suggested Yuubi in the neighborhood because he said they recently reopened for indoor dining. I remember dining here pre-pandemic and was looking forward to trying again. Arriving around 6:30pm on a Saturday, the restaurant was about half full and we were promptly seated. The restaurant was spacious with about ten floor tables and seating around the sushi bar. Since the four of us wanted different food choices, we decided to order our own dishes. I opted for a steak teriyaki and tonkatsu bento, which came with miso soup. The box had rice and a salad. The steak was ordered medium-rare and it was cooked as requested. It was very tender. The tonkatsu had a crispy panko crust and the pork was moist and well-cooked. Teriyaki chicken and chicken karaage bento. When the waitress brought the bento to the table, she noticed it had chicken katsu and she was apologetic and had a side of chicken karaage ordered and it was brought to the table. My friend enjoyed his bento. Chirashi bowl. Friend who ordered this enjoyed the thick pieces of fish and the freshness. There were ten pieces of fish, ebi and tamago. Chasu ramen. Friend who ordered this was pleased with taste of broth and the ramen. We started with a dragon roll. The roll was well made and appeared smaller than average, but probably because they don't make it with a lot of rice. They have two refrigerator case with fresh chunks of tuna displayed and the tuna head. I guess they cut up their own whole tuna. Overall, compared to two neighborhood Japanese restaurants that I dines at in the Sunset, the food here was a so much better in quality. The ambiance here was a lot nicer and the service was friendly and efficient. I will be back. read more

Yuubi Japanese Restaurant - Truffle Salmon to die for! Friendly, wonderful service as well - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yuubi has been our go to neighborhood Japanese restaurant and Sushi bar for years. It never disappoints with a comfortable vibe, excellent service and great food. We particularly like the salmon teriyaki dinner with its very fresh salmon as well as the chicken or steak teriyaki. Accompanied by one of their specialty sushi rolls it makes for a spectacular and reasonably priced meal. The service is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. When our children were young it was and remains a child friendly establishment. You can't go wrong at Yuubi. read more

We finally found our favorite sushi spot! While they seem to do a lot of take out, we dine in and typically are only one of a couple tables occupied. It is great to be able to walk in and sit down right away. We can decide last minute to have a sushi night and not worry about a reservation. We love trying all of their different specialty rolls. We also get the miso soup and seaweed salad. You cannot go wrong with their rolls though! read more

Food is great! So are their portions!! Their salmon teriyaki is great... just don't order their karaagew

Came here for a quick snack. Got the adegashi tofu and negi toro roll and it was both so yummy!! 4 stars because i didn't try a lot but i will be back when I'm more hungry! The service was A1!!! Our server was attentive and sweet. Ambiance was nice and warm. read more

Yuubi Japanese Restaurant - Adegashi Agedashi Tofu Negi Toro roll - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bummer. This place used to be decent but has suffered from serious shrinkflation and quality issues. I ordered five items for takeaway that came to about $44 with tax (and that's without service fee and tip!): 1. Unagi hand-roll - 1 2. Sake nigiri - 2 pieces 3. Tempura roll - 5 pieces 4. Negi hama maki - 6 pieces 5. Ume shiso maki - 6 pieces This should have been a lot of food, but it all fit in a single medium container. Maki rolls are always 8 pieces right? Wrong, now 6 tiny pieces with barely any fish. Specialty rolls are usually 10+ pieces right? Wrong, Tempura roll now 5 pieces, half of what I would normally expect. Ume shiso roll was stuffed with a piece of cucumber as the largest item, where's the ume and shiso tho? Tiny nirigi, hand roll also small and flavorless. Lack of attention to detail all around. Le sigh. read more

Kind of stumbled into this restaurant on accident but we decided to sit down and order some food anyways because we were starving!! All I have to say is, the Uni here is SO GOOD. Everything else... meh. Didn't love the atmosphere of the restaurant itself and the other order we had were not memorable and I think I recall the salmon being legit frozen and hard to chew through. All in all, come for Uni and nothing else. read more

Just picked up an order of sashimi last evening and 6 slices were not fresh. Not only did it smell, it was also fishy tasting. According to my order notes, it was supposed to be 15 pcs (see first photo from previous visit), but this time, they only gave me 12 pcs. (See second photo). Just as well since the fish are not fresh. Very disappointed. read more

Pining for their happy hour specials, which are incredibly generous and offer plenty of variety in both the bites and booze departments. In the meantime, I can recommend this well run restaurant for takeout. They were doing a brisk to-go trade long before the COVID hit. The level of pride and creativity in the cuisine makes this a great place to try out new dishes in addition to comfort choices like California rolls and unagi. I've never been disappointed with anything from the menus. Favorites pictured. Yuubi is yummy! read more

Good option for uber eats delivery. ~ Tried the hama hama roll- I'd never had a roll w/ seaweed salad inside, but had to try it. It's good; exactly as you'd expect. Description said it was topped with wasabi yuzu sauce, but I couldn't taste it or they must have forgotten. ~ Salmon poke is a good amount of diced salmon and thin-sliced cucumber for $6, but I wish there was a bit more of that tasty seaweed. ~ Tuna nigiri (2 pcs, $6) is what you'd expect for that price, fine but basic ~ Spicy tuna hand roll ($6) was stuffed with tuna from one end to the other and had a nice kick. Alas, hand rolls, are best enjoyed in the restaurant when the seaweed hasn't had time to get too soft. Still, was good. ~ My fave dish was the goma-ae ($7) boiled spinach, but with a creamy sesame dressing that was a bit different than the typical sweet/tangy vinegar dressing w/ sesame seeds. Nice twist. Dinner came with plenty of soy sauce and they don't skimp on the wasabi or ginger, either. Not a bad option for a quick dinner. read more
