We love when sushi is served on a wooden plate it just tastes better that way, I don't know why! We got the crazy girl roll which was spider roll topped with spicy tuna and jalapeños. The warriors roll was amazing and had seared salmon and crispy onion/garlic on top. The tempura was super fresh and crunchy and the dipping sauce was perfection. Beer and sake was decently priced and we ended with the matcha cheesecake which came with green tea mochi. Amazing service and super nice staff! This place is super cozy and there is so much parking because it is located in a plaza. read more

A nice little warm cozy restaurant tucked away in the corner of the carpark. Run by a young couple serving delicious Japanese faire. The interior was warm, with wooden panels, tables and the food was served on wooden platters. I came with friends and was pleasantly surprised at how good the variety of sushi I tasted. My favorites were the box of Hokkaido uni, which tasted fresh, sweet and served with some seaweed. The Hamachi Kama was very delicious. Although it was the collar of the fish, it had a decent amount of meat and came with some dipping sauce. The other favorite was the little poke bowl which had an assortment of diced fish topped with a raw quail egg and tobiko. Restrooms were located outside of the restaurant. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking in the lot. Overall, great to have a Japanese eatery in the Diamond Heights area. read more

We have our favorite sushi place in south city, best bang for your bucks kind of a place. But we wanted to try someplace new. Since Au Sushi has great reviews. We decided to give it a try. Here are the items we tried: Chicken karaage: 3/5 chicken was too garlicky, sauce didn't taste good Hamachi truffle: 5/5 very good, I'd order this again A bunch of sushi rolls and nigiri, can't remember what we ordered. There was only 1 guy working the front, so he's super busy. The server was very nice but man this guy is overworked. Every time he comes out of the kitchen, he's always running to different tables. Overall, an expensive meal with mid food quality. Prob won't return any time soon. read more

We came in on a Wednesday night and we were able to sit wherever we liked. My favorite dishes here were the hamachi Kama and the agedashi tofu. Rolls were good too. We didn't try their nigiri's or sashimi but I'd come back to this restaurant if I was in the area craving sushi. Prices are average here for sushi in SF, 4 items for $66. They also happy hour but we didn't come in time for that. read more

Came in for dinner on a Tuesday. There was one other guest there. Clean space with K-pop music playing in the background. No TV's. When we sat down, we weren't offered physical menus or water, even though the physical ones were available. I'm fine with the QR codes but not my boomer dad. We didn't get water until maybe ten minutes after we sat down. The rolls came out FAST. We ordered: Hot King roll (spicy tuna, avocado, seared white fish, fried onion, sriracha) 4/5. Too much sriracha on top but otherwise it was good. Not too spicy. Double toro roll (Salmon Belly, Mango, Avocado topped W/Bluefin Toro & Fresh Wasabi) 4.2/5. This was so good! Fresh, light, balanced. It was good on its own but was texturally boring because everything was soft so I added a bit of crunch w the fried onion from the hot king roll, which I think made it that much better. Dragon roll: 2.5/5 meh. I didn't really like this one.. Something about it tasted off. I thought this was worse than an average dragon roll. Overall I give this place 3.5/5. I'd come here again for the double toro roll. read more

Spring time in San Francisco you can enjoy seeing the cherry blossoms starting to blossom and it takes you to a different heights around the city. I like to go on a Spring stroll and explore the different Heights around San Francisco whether it's Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights or Bernal Heights because they do have one thing in common: They all have a good variety of restaurants . In the cuts of San Francisco there is a hidden gem in Diamond Heights . Au Sushi offers lots of good different rolls and bento boxes . There is also a Happy Hour with 30% off of Alcohol and Apps everyday from 4:30pm-6:30pm. I got the tempura app and it had lightly battered shrimp and veggies . I also got the Warriors roll and it was delicious with shrimp tempura imitation crab topped with seared salmon, and onion crunch. The mango salmon had salmon, mango and avocado topped with salmon and mango. It was buttery ,savory, and a bit sweet. It had a great mango juicy flavor. I then had the Au roll which had imitation crab sweet cream topped with garlic mayo baked scallop and unagi sauce. It was warm and the scallop was savory along with the crab. I do enjoy sushi year-round . Au Sushi is a good neighborhood sushi restaurant where the flavor takes you to a different height in San Francisco when you want to get a bite. Try the sushi with mango and salmon along with some Takoyaki and Hamachi Maki Sometimes I grab a bento box with salmon teriyaki and wash it all down with some hot sake read more

Came here for valentines with my bf (forgot to submit my review). But they were one of the kindest restaurants I've ever been to. The vibe was nice, the food was really good, and the staff were so sweet. They even gifted me a little valentines set and gave me and my bf some extras on the house for the special day. I've been waiting to go back when I get the time. read more

I know I've said this about plenty of other places, but it feels especially true in this case - I doubt I would've ever discovered Au Sushi if not for Yelp. Quite literally, they had a direct hand in it, as it was the YEE that was held here last year that brought me out this way. For whatever reason, I've only been out this way a handful of times over the years/decades. Although, in my defense, it's not like there's a whole lot going on in Diamond Heights either... Tucked away in the corner of the relatively sleepy Diamond Heights Shopping Center, Au Sushi is one of the few eateries in the neighborhood. However, between their relatively late hours, wealth of parking spaces, and how they always seem to have seating available despite their modest size, it's also a cozy little gem that is super convenient whether you live in the area or you're driving in from elsewhere. Of course, that's to say nothing of the menu, which looks pretty typical on the surface (bento boxes, sashimi, sushi rolls, noodle dishes, etc.), but is rather eye catching once get deeper into what they have to offer. In particular, their nigiri and house sushi rolls not only sound good on the menu, but they look even better in the photos on Yelp! -- NIGIRI OMAKASE - Chef's Choice Nigiri (8 Pieces)...$68 I enjoyed this both times I had it, though it was better and more unique before the menu change (see below). That time, the stand outs were the Uni, Toro, Hotate, and Wagyu. This time, the only real stars were the Toro, Sake Belly, and the Amaebi. -- DOUBLE TORO ROLL - Salmon Belly, Mango, and Avocado Topped with Bluefin Toro and Fresh Wasabi...$21 Pretty solid, though, it'd be hard not to like a roll with two types of toro. Both the Salmon and Bluefin were equally delicious, though the latter stood out in part because of the size of the cuts. I was iffy on the mango, but these were perfectly ripe and added a nice sweetness. -- GOLDEN GATE ROLL - Avocado and Salmon Topped with Scallop, Ikura, and Soy Paper...$19 I'm a sucker for salmon and scallops in sushi rolls, so this practically had my name on it. Thankfully, it was great! The scallops were large, fresh, and had a nice sweetness while the salmon and avocado made for a classic pairing - yum! -- CHICKEN KARAAGE - Crispy Japanese Fried Chicken...$15 Ehh...not bad, but nothing special either. The chicken was decently crispy on the outside and somewhat moist on the inside. It could've used a little bit of seasoning, but at least they weren't all that oily and the aioli helped to add some flavor. -- KING DRAGON ROLL - Soft Shell Crab, Imitation Crab Topped with Unagi, Avocado, Tobiko, and Unagi Sauce...$18 Cooked rolls aren't always the greatest, but this was really good. The soft shell crab was flavorful, had a nice crunch to it, and was complemented well by the imitation crab and the unagi, which was meatier than I expected. One thing worth noting is that in the time since Au Sushi opened, the menu has been tweaked. Not significantly, as most things are listed the same as before, but since my first visit here for the YEE last year, only a half dozen or so things have been removed/altered. Unfortunately, that includes their namesake AU SUSHI ROLL, which previously had Salmon Skin, Cucumber, and Shiso topped with Imitation Crab, Monkfish Liver, Scallions, and Special Sauce, that tasted AMAZING. Now, it has Imitation Crab Sweet Cream Topped with Garlic Mayo Baked Scallop and Unagi Sauce - not horrendous by any means, but definitely not as appealing to my tastebuds. Still, despite the loss of my favorite roll here (or almost anywhere, for that matter), Au Sushi is quite the gem. I can't really speak to their noodle dishes or bento boxes, but they seem perfectly fine based on what I've seen other tables get and how they read on the menu. Perhaps I'll try them at some point (they have a "happy hour" where many of their cooked dishes are discounted), but even if I don't, I'm happy to keep coming back for the sushi and nigiri omakase, especially considering how easy it is to come here! read more

Their sushi is wonderful. Not the ordinary grocery store stuff! Their people are friendly. Love this place!

Tried Au Sushi on a Thursday night, easy parking since it's located in a shopping plaza and was seated right away. We ordered several items, rolls, and dishes. Agedashi tofu was not very good though, not fried correctly and didnt have the typical sauce. Hard to describe the food here, maybe "standard" or "generic"? Kind of like getting hot food from the Japanese market, better presentation though. Not that that's a bad thing, but I want to say the food was ok but nothing that would make me rush to come back. read more

I don't mind paying a premium for good sushi, but this place is charging top dollar for what tastes like grocery store leftovers. The fish was low quality across the board--uninspired cuts, lacking flavor, and definitely not fresh. To make matters worse, the menus were dirty and sticky (never a good sign), and the staff seemed disinterested at best and borderline rude at worst. There was zero warmth or hospitality to balance out the disappointing food. Between the prices, the poor quality, and the uninviting atmosphere, there's just no reason to come back. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. read more

hidden gem, like the service is good and friendly. The food say no more like top tier, although i heard and see comment about they are not worth the price or not fresh.

This is a familiar spot for me. A former Burger King over twenty years ago, it evolved to this neighborhood eatery, offering lunch and dinner in the heart of Diamond Heights. They opened in August 2022, a challenging time as things are just opening up again. It was on my radar after seeing several hot and new Yelp notices and seeing Cherylynn N.'s (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eKUGKQRE-Ywi5dY55_zChg) positive review. I was accepted an invite to and attended a recent YEE here on a Thursday late afternoon. Besides the YEE gifts, I ordered a few other menu items and, as I later found out, off-menu items to take home. Being tired after leaving the office, I decided to combine the gifted item with a few a couple of the items while saving some for future meals later in the week. Here's what I tried: 1. Agedashi tofu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SNgtkhdENWHq2y9bzP0fVg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - There were a good number packed in the box and they were neatly stacked in a clamshell paper box. I liked that the sauce was put on the side. I only ate one while fresh that evening and I enjoyed the flavors with the dipping sauce (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=DBaQOqR7HyhKTLa3exTSwQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). 2. Yakitori beef tongue and scallops (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LimhiL91k7QL1RCECaNbNw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - I ate these a few days later, reheating them in my toaster oven; they were packed nicely on a bed of lettuce and lemon garnish (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EXU7iocMZLTjwRpPRJ3OMA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). I placed them on foil and added a few drops of water in reheating them at 250F with the foil folded up but not covered so that they wouldn't steam (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nIoKSkeQuoORfYdTQQfcnw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The beef tongue held up well and I liked that the seasoning was not salty. The scallops were pretty good too but a bit of the ocean flavor came into play so I suggest eating this fresh and not storing and reheating. 3. Unagi and avocado handroll and spicy tuna handroll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RZ0yiflIQ341nX5_RtGJ6Q&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) - These were my off-menu orders as I didn't see them on the online or website menu. I enjoyed both of them as the rice had a nice shari flavor and was still moist (some may find it too moist). I was impressed by the spicy tuna filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0Eb56VH3ZoXHPfmw4SoUAw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). the flavor and the portion generosity. A young lady took my order by phone as suggested in the YEE invite for my check-in as well as my takeout order. Justin greeted me, gave me my check, and graciously took my credit card for payment. I asked him a few questions about business and he explained that they opened late summer of 2022, not an easy time to start a business. My only suggestion is, for off-menu items, please tell the customer the pricing and confirm that they still want it before accepting their order. I was a little surprised when, looking at my itemized receipt, I saw an item as "2 Rock N Roll $24.00". Using my higher math, I scratched my head and pondered whether I'd normally order handrolls at $12.00 each. Perhaps, consider putting hand rolls, if you're willing to make them, on your menu so the diner can decide. Will likely try the ramen or udon next time. read more

Au Sushi was a really nice surprise! It's located deep in the sleepy corner of the Diamond Heights plaza and feels like a well kept secret. My friend and I spent several minutes perusing the menu and choosing a wide variety of rolls to share amongst friends at a dinner party later. We were very impressed that each roll was made fresh and we were also very appreciative that the vegetarian rolls extended beyond basic veggie maki rolls. Our favorites of the night were the Fish Tacos (the crispy tempura seaweed base was chef's kiss), the Double Toro (soooo buttery!), and the Walnut Roll (very pleasant vegetarian twist on a dragon roll). Honestly though, everything was of really good quality. They also paid great attention to still presenting the sushi very nicely despite it being a to-go order. Pricewise, it'll probably be about $30 a person if you stick to special rolls and appetizers. Some of the specials like the chirasi bowl or chef's platter will cross $50 easily. read more

Overall good food, great service. Au Sushi is a "mid-tier" sushi spot in the sense that it is not a luxury, break-your-bank establishment, but it is certainly not a budget restaurant either. I came here for lunch this past weekend and tried their AU special chirashi, miso soup, and chicken karaage. While the presentation was pretty, I can't say the chirashi was worth the price. The slices of fish were quite thin, and while it came with 12 pieces, there were definitely duplicates. In addition, I wish they gave the option to either fry the sweet shrimp head or have it served as miso, as many places do (they serve it fried, and I prefer it in miso). The karaage was better than many places in the bay area - the batter was not overly heavy/oily and the chicken was juicy. The restaurant itself is on the smaller end but is well-maintained, and the service is attentive and very thoughtful. I did see our neighbors get the nigiri omakase which was beautifully presented and with more unique/generous cuts of fish. So perhaps I will try that next time. Glad I stopped by! read more

I think the food is fresh and well prepared. The servers are friendly and not obtrusive. My only complaint is that the tempura dishes are a little too greasy. read more

To be honest, my expectations were not high for this place. They are truly the underdog. We had the omakase nigri and it comes with "appetizer" (2 pieces of sushi) and a very delicious fish (with bone) and tofu soup! Every piece of the omakase was delicious (because you know some places give you a lot and there's some mediocre pieces). The omakase is affordable (8 piece for $68(?)). We also ordered the mango salmon roll and I love that it was proportional and not overly sauced. We had another roll, but forgot the name but it also was proportional and delicious. The fishes were fresh. The service was excellent. Parking in the plaza is easy. Bathroom is around the corner with a key. Definitely will be back. Hope they keep it up! read more

Au Sushi is a hidden gem! Tucked away in a shopping center, this sushi spot offers great food and easy parking. I came here for a Yelp Elite event which included the sushi donut but stayed to dine in and try more of the menu. Service was fantastic from start to end. We even got miso soup on the house! There's also dog friendly seating outside if you happen to have your fur baby like I did. Sushi Donut - SO CUTE. Also very tasty and unique. I loved that every bite was something different. Fresh Oysters - small but delicious! Perfect little starter packed with flavor. Salmon Belly and Salmon Nigiri - both were fantastic. As a salmon lover I was in heaven. Love that they included kizami wasabi which gives that hint of wasabi flavor and saltiness. Hamachi Belly Nigiri - not sure what the yellow topping was (salted egg yolk?) but whatever it was it was delicious and overall gave a buttery effect to the fish. Unagi Nigiri - the eel was perfection, I could eat a whole plate. The glaze was shining and they didn't skimp on the slice. Double Toro Roll - toro, salmon, avocado and mango. I don't think I've ever had this combination together but I really liked it! Overall would totally recommend for anyone looking for a lowkey sushi spot with fantastic food! read more

Picked up a dragon roll while hubs got the Yelp Elite treasure box. Staff gave us both the Yelp chopsticks (they're reusable!) and we ate our meals outside next to the park. Roll itself was decent, but felt like there was a little too much sauce on it so it was on the sweeter side. Probably won't be back anytime soon (hardly ever in the area) and don't think quality justified the prices. I appreciate how their menus have icons to tell you which dishes have raw fish or are vegetarian --wish more places would do this! read more

Ok obviously, sit at the bar. You will always never regret it. (Sitting at ANY bar, for that matter.) Our waiter was just so kind. We chatted about how Asians don't raisin (iykyk) and profesional biking and injuries. It always means so much when experiences are personalized, yanno? We felt so comfortable! So, order more things! I always get an order of ikura nigiri cuz it's a personal fave no matter where I go. We also got the truffle hamachi cuz if you don't like truffle or hamachi, you're just a plain ol' monster. They could've loaded up on the ikura, but it's never an experience deal breaker. Also, beware - nigiri is ordered by one piece, so order appropriately. I got the Au chirashi special, and my partner got the nigiri omakase. While I fell in love with the tuna belly, the REAL winner was my partner's uni situation - great quality, they didn't skimp and it was on fried shiso. I even ordered another because my partner said it was phenomenal. No regrets! We were surprised with a piece of tiramisu with the cutest little donut forks! Will I be back?

This is a new establishment on Diamond Heights, the furnishings are nice and the ambiance is decent.

It is definitely a treat, but if they come up with happy hour or weekday specials, I will definitely be a regular! read more

4.5 STARS As we sat down and started perusing the menu at Au Sushi, my eyeballs nearly popped the eff out of my sockets. Like WOAH! Passersby scanned the menu and jaws dropped. I blindly made rezzies because there's outdoor seating so that's my bad (no website or online menu). We couldn't just bounce so we stayed and ordered some nigiri to sample. NO REGRETS! If you like sushi, don't let the initial shock of the prices deter you from giving this new sushi restaurant a try. Plus, there's plenty of FREE parking which is a huge selling point in the city. Soft opening yesterday is Au Sushi. They took over Heavenly Cafe (Korean American dive) inside Diamond Heights Shopping Center (located to the right of Safeway next to Great Clips). Woman-owned and operated business. The lone sushi chef is female, a unicorn in the industry. They're open for takeout, indoor dining, and one dog-friendly table outside. Rezzies are highly recommended. They were at capacity by 7 pm on a Monday. With the mandate lifted, staff still wore masks. M E N U * Apps, sashimi, nigiri, rolls, chirashi, omakase, yakitori, ramen, and udon (no bento, curry, and bento). There's also a vegetarian section. -- Menu page 1: https://bit.ly/3vQUS72 -- Menu page 2: https://bit.ly/3SFbqIU -- Menu page 3: https://bit.ly/3C9u4Dh Since it's located right next to George Christopher Playground, there's lot of families and kids passing through so hope they consider adding a kid's menu. Beer and sake available. P R I C E S Initially, the nigiri and the rolls seemed a wee bit steep for a brand new neighborhood spot but it's worth it once you've tried it. My shock came with some of their non-sushi items which are 20%-50%+ more expensive than their competitors (e.g. 4 pc Takoyaki: $11.89, Chicken Karaage: $15.89, Yakitori: $5.89/skewer, etc.) so I hope they look into lowering these prices. F O O D * Yakitori ($5.89/each): https://bit.ly/3djYLuL -- Sunagimo: Chicken Gizzard Didn't try this. -- Gyūtan: Beef Tongue Crisp edges with a rich, beefy soft center. Lightly seasoned with salt. If you like beef tongue, get this! * Nigiri (2 pc/order): https://bit.ly/3p3PCJF and https://bit.ly/3p6O3e4 *** Requested less rice. -- Umi Masu: Ocean trout ($13) -- Kinmedai: Goldeneye snapper (MP - $15?): https://bit.ly/3vMMOUU -- Sake Toro: Salmon belly ($11) -- Hamachi Toro: Yellowtail belly ($11) -- Hotate: Raw scallop ($12) -- O-Toro: Fatty tuna ($17): https://bit.ly/3SD1m3d If you like FAT cuts of neta, Au Sushi is for you! I went with the richer, fattier cuts and each piece was fresh and buttery. They were all great but the standouts were the kinmedai, hamachi toro, and sake toro. I asked about uni and the owner said, it wasn't very good today so she recommended the o-toro to finish (thank you for the honesty!). I wish I took a better pic but the o-toro was hella thiccc. It was torched around edges and there was a slit in the middle where the shari was tucked in....o-toro served inari-style. The o-toro was like fish buttah that just melts in your mouth. They individually garnish each nigiri so they're ready to eat unless you want more soy and wasabi. The shari (sushi rice) was the proper room temperature with a slight stickiness. It ran a tad on the sour side so it could use a touch of sugar for balance. Regardless, it was solid for their first day to the public. * Double Toro Roll w/ sake toro, avocado, o-toro, kizumi wasabi ($19.89): https://bit.ly/3zPU4AO *** Requested less rice. Lots of rich buttery-ness from the duo of toro, along with the ripen avocado but the zestiness of the kizumi wasabi (soy marinated wasabi) perfectly balanced it. Good filler roll if you like toro. * Tempura Udon ($18.89) Not my order so didn't try but friend ordered it as a filler and said, it was fine. S E R V I C E Very friendly and warm which is exactly what you expect from a local neighborhood business. Small operation with the owner as the only server, one sushi chef, and one chef for the cooked items. Food service was fast, and we received everything at once so it was challenging to fit everything on the small two-top. A M B I A N C E Complete remodel from Heavenly Café. From hole-in-the-wall to sleek, contemporary, and minimalist vibes with table seating for about 24 and 4-5 seats at the sushi bar. While eating outside we ran into DJ Qbert who my friend was fanboying! No on-site restroom. You need a key to access the restroom in the plaza. P A R K I N G Plenty of free parking in the plaza. Overall, I really enjoyed the nigiri at Au Sushi and think it's a great addition to the area. If you like it thiccc in all the right places, Au Sushi will be your jam! read more

Hidden gem. We frequent here several times a month. The staff are always great, food is also great. Our favorites are the 49er roll, tiger roll, golden gate roll, and double toro roll. read more

Came here on Valentines Day for a little dinner date with my partner and had a great time. They had a Valentines Day special going on but sadly I noticed not many people were interested. We ordered more rolls than just the Romantic Roll, but I didn't get a chance to take pictures. However, the Romantic Roll was pretty did not expect it to come out as heart shaped sushi! It was tasty, a little thrown off by the pink seaweed because the texture felt weird but I understood the concept. Bbq short ribs were great, had a perfect tangy flavor! Would definitely order this again as an appetizer. The mixed tempura tasted fresh and great with the provided sauce. It included two shrimp tempuras which I thought was fair. Overall, the place was standard enjoyed my valentines dinner here and would come again for take out! read more
