4 of us decided to dine here since a few live in the neighborhood and have eaten here multiple times, but it was a new spot for me. Modern Japanese ambiance with dim lighting and natural wood interiors greet you as you walk in. We made a resy through google, which was simple to do. They have quite a few things on the menu: sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, and many interesting tapas. So we ordered a bunch of things to share. The servers were accommodating and friendly. ***OUR PICKS*** TOP SECRET ~ pan fried crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and thin sliced jalapeño on top. This one has four pieces and the rice on the sides were nicely crisped up. Flavorful spicy tuna. Memorable sushi! WHITE CHERRY ~ assorted fish with avocado roll lightly tempura fried, ponzu sauce and sesame. HAMACHI POKE ~ soy sauce marinated assorted fish chunks, cucumber, kaiware (daikon radish sprout), topped with hamachi and jalapeño. SAKURA BLOSSOM ~ salmon, mango, cucumber topped with spicy tuna, tobiko and bonito flakes. SUPER NEGI TORO ~ shisho fatty tuna, scallions, takuwan (pickled daikon radish) WAGYU CARPACCIO ~ thin slices of Kobe beef in wasabi yuzu sauce and tobiko. CHIRASHI BOWL ~ assorted fish over sushi rice. The rice was seasoned nicely with furikake. The sushi they serve is unique and fresh. Everything we had was delicious and prepared well! Now I understand why this spot is a neighborhood favorite! read more

Great sushi/japanese restaurant in our neighborhood! The oysters and crispy rice tuna apps were super tasty. We also had their tataki dish, some nigiris, tuna tartare, and negihama rolls! Everything was delicious! Attentive and friendly service. Can't wait to go back :) read more

Loved my dinner here. Menu is massive and wide-ranging so anyone can find something they like. Saba (mackerel) - torched table side, really delicious, cooked the right amount, and not overly fishy with a great dipping sauce. Hamachi carpaccio - tasty, good fish, small portion for the price Mini Kaisen don - excellent cuts of sashimi on this, fish was melt in your mouth. Uni is not great though. It was pretty fishy and somewhat melted. I really enjoyed this dish overall though! Top secret - ordered as a recommendation from the server but this is the only thing I wouldn't get again. The rice is nicely crisped but there is way too much rice for the amount of fish and the spicy tuna is not very good. Came out to $60 per person with drinks or any leftovers so this is definitely a pricey meal, but there are some tasty items on the menu! read more

The hamachi carpaccio is good, but the portion is too small for the price, even by our standard. read more

Great neighborhood spot for sushi, tapas, and to our surprise, incredible ramen as well. It's a cozy little corner restaurant that's an easy walk-in for a small group. We ordered the "top secret" crispy rice tuna, salmon avocado maki roll, sakura blossom specialty roll, and ramen. Everything was on the money! I'm always skeptical to order ramen at a sushi spot because it's usually not their focus, but this one was fantastic! Great flavor. It was perfect for our casual date night and we will be back :) read more

My friend and I went here on a rainy weekday night. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth-like area that was enclosed by a wooden fence. The restaurant was half full, and the service was quick in allowing us to order, serving us food, and bring us the check. We ordered the Stuffed Mushroom, the Wagyu Carpaccio, the Dash Special Roll, and Chicken Karaage. The mushrooms were rich and flavorful, the carpaccio had a good blend of salty and sweet, the dash special roll incorporated popcorn shrimp nicely, and the chicken karaage was quite crunchy! Overall, I enjoyed trying some of their tapas and would love to come back to try more! read more

Chirashi bowl 5/5 - this was really good and only $34! There was a decent amount of fish and a good variety. All the fish tasted fresh. Fish to rice ratio was also really good. We also tried some of the appetizers and fish cake soup which I thought was okay. But I would definitely come back for their chirashi bowl! It was pretty busy on a Saturday night but I don't think there was a wait. We had a big party and got seated right away. read more

The place was pretty busy, so service was a bit slow but very respectful. The ambiance was quite nice and had more seating towards the back. The rolls were small for the price, and not very filling. The flavor was good, but for some reason their wasabi wasn't very strong, and my friend's roll didn't come with any wasabi or ginger. Overall, a good spot for sushi in Noe, but still suffers from the Noe tax. read more

Dash - Castro roll & Rainbow roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Loved this place and so happy it's in my neighborhood. I was a bit surprised by some of the more critical reviews since I thought the three things I got were excellent (maybe I just ordered well haha). - Top Secret - the crispy rice is cooked to perfection and the spicy tuna goes so nicely with it. Comes in four pieces so a great sharing dish though I devoured them all myself (5/5) - dash taco - nice and cold which is nicely complements the hot crispy rice dish. I love a tempura battered seaweed shell (4.5/5) - I waited too long before eating the second one and it got a touch soggy so eat it when it arrives - daily special - I got the o-toro nigiri. This was divine and the first thing I ate. LOVED (5/5) Lastly - I thoroughly appreciate a restaurant open on Mondays bc you know, many places aren't open (ugh SF!). And as solo diner walking in at 5:30pm I didn't have to wait read more

A quiet sushi place located in Noe Valley! They have a wide variety of options and have an Izakaya vibe with some fusion items. My friend and I split: - Rising Sun ($17) - 3/5 I liked the tuna freshness but it was balanced out by the soggy/old fried crab in the middle - 49ers ($16) - 3/5 Simple California roll with salmon and lemon slices on top; just an average roll. - Wagyu Carpaccio ($15) - 2/5 I was kind of confused with this one because I expected it to be raw. The pieces were chewy but I also expected more flavor. - Hamachi Carpaccio ($15) - 4/5 My favorite thing that we got! I love me some good hamachi. For the rolls, they were tightly packed; love this because some places got rice falling everywhere. Service was good! The servers were nice. Overall, just another sushi place; nothing bad but also nothing amazing. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood with sushi and ramen-adjacent options. In my opinion, getting ramen at a sushi restaurant (or any restaurant that doesn't focus solely on ramen) never works out. It almost always feels like an afterthought. I would say that it ALMOST doesn't feel that way here. And although that doesn't sound like it, it's pretty high praise from me. I would still focus on the sushi and small plates here but the ramen is a good alternative for people in the party who aren't into the raw fish thing. Great service and well designed restaurant, with space for families and mellow date nights alike. read more

Delicious food and sushi but with a spin. The small plates allow you to try every delicious selection or share with others. Flavors are spot on, very friendly staff. Comfy interiors with plenty of seating, even to accommodate large groups. We will be back and recommend. read more

Dash - This is delicious! Ika-Uni Special! A must! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The service was very good and it's a nice looking space on Diamond/24th. The menu has some interesting options as well as everything else you would expect from a Japanese restaurant. For me, the taste just wasn't there tonight for most of the choices that we made. The miso soup in my opinion was too complex and heavy. The salmon tacos were served with salsa and deep-fried, tempura seaweed cups. The only thing I could taste was the salsa. My chicken teriyaki was just ok, again the flavors were off. The chicken wasn't seasoned very well, and the teriyaki sauce I requested on the side was very thick and too sweet. The lamb chops were the best choice that we made for dinner. read more

It is such a treat to come to Dash for the tapas, as I follow the best reviews here. These dishes are unique, tasty, fresh, with lots of flavors! We had the Dash Tacos: one bite introduces this restaurant's ability to create deliciousness! Wagyu carpaccio: tender & tasty; Tuna Salmon Tower: fresh fun to scoop on top of a crispy chip drizzled with their sauce; and Top Secret: no photos to keep it a secret! Service was friendly, attentive and efficient. Nice clean cozy restaurant for dates and families in Noe Valley. You can also treat yourself and come alone! Will return to try their sashimi. read more

We stumbled on this place and what a nice surprise! It's a lovely restaurant that has nice vibes, it's actually quite bigger than it seems. We got the Sakura roll, dragon roll, and unagi fried rice. The rolls were pretty standard. We really liked the rice. It was super unique from other Japanese restaurants we'd been to, and the portion was good. I loved the crispy salmon skin and the textures in this rice. The highlight of the meal. read more

It's okay. I like the unagi fried rice dish and the "Top Secret" pan fried crispy rice topped w/spicy tuna & jalapeño (4pcs) the most. I'm not sure why NorCal places don't make this appetizer more often. SoCal and the rest of the southwest sushi joints have crispy rice spicy tuna everywhere and I miss it so much. I'll be back for these two dishes mainly. read more

Did not expect such a casual atmosphere but excellent service and quality sushi. Recommend.

An absolute gem! Rarely do I love all the items I order, but Dash managed to pull it off. From the drinks to the sushi to the tapas, each and every dish was a delight. For drinks, I'd highly recommend trying the sparkling sake with jelly. One of the most unique drinks I've had, and both the yuzu and peach flavors were super tasty. Food-wise, our group of 3 ordered 7 dishes (ootoro, hamachi crudo, mentaiko udon, fried oysters, top secret, agedashi tofu, and eryngi mushrooms) and thought it was a satiating amount of food. I'm still dreaming about the perfect garlic butter sauce in the mushrooms, but once again, everything was delicious and you can't go wrong! Vibes were great- would make an excellent date spot, and as an added bonus, they played lofi hip hop the whole time! Service was very prompt and food came out quickly, although this may result from our choice to dine on a Monday night. read more

Tasty food plus great service. It has a nice mix of traditional Japanese izakaya food plus some interesting and tasty fusion choices as well. The only dish that was sub-par was the chicken Karaage but I would order everything else again. It's also very kid friendly if that's important to you. read more

Dash was a very nice hole-in-the-wall sushi restaurant for date night. The food tasted really fresh. All 3 rolls that we got were very unique and we definitely left feeling full. My favorite was probably the 49er. They didn't have oysters when we came which was kind of disappointing. The service was a bit slow but overall a good experience. read more

I was so excited to try this place as Noe Valley is in need of more food restaurant and this place did not let us down! Between the quick service to the delicious food, we'll be coming back! I got the oyster shooter, which was probably one of my favorite ones that I've had! I also got the oysters with Uni, which weren't my cup of tea, but still happy that I got to try something different! My husband got the fried chicken, and a few days later he's still talking about how he wants more chicken nuggets. Next time he'll have to try the katsu. The creamy scallop roll, gyoza, and rice ball were all delightful as welll. Seems like you can't go wrong with all from dash! read more

4/5 service 4/5 food I came on a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. I'm not sure if that's a good thing for a Japanese restaurant. The street parking was easy. The Omakase was decent. I loved the plum wine, dragon roll and unagi fried rice. I would say the overall experience was ok, but it wasn't memorable to the point of where I would come back given all the amazing Japanese restaurants in the city. read more

We just had dinner at Dash, and boy do they live up to their name! Our delicious sushi, soup, gyoza and sashimi arrived quickly at our table. We very much enjoyed our Friday night feast. The miso soup was very flavorful, and my 49er roll had the most refreshing little slivers of lemon on top and my California roll was joyful. Very tasty. Our salmon sashimi was very fresh, and they gyoza were cooked to perfection and slightly crisped. We have been to Dash a number of times and always enjoy the ambiance and friendly waitstaff. We highly recommend. read more

Went around 7pm on a Tuesday and there wasn't too many people so we got seated right away. Started off with Top Secret and the Hamachi Carpaccio which was super yummy - especially the carpaccio! I got the Yaki Udon as my main which was also super delicious - the garnish was honestly what made it super yummy. I will say the dishes are not necessary the most affordable and since the portions are smaller it's easier to go over $100+ with two people. Great for just appetizers though! The service was great - our server was super kind and got our food to us quick and was always refilling our water. Overall - 8/10 since it's a little $$$ for the portions, but I did like the unique-ness of some of the dishes! read more

Brand-new sushi restaurant in the in the area. This is their second location, they also have one in San Mateo. It's more of a tapas place where dishes have tiny portions and can be shared. Fish is fresh and delicious. Dishes are flavorful and unique. All the dishes were delicious except for the o-toro nigiri and stuffed mushroom which I thought was just OK. Mushroom was undercooked in the middle. My favorite is the spicy tuna on crispy rice. Service was friendly and checked on us from time to time. read more

We came in on a Monday night after looking at rave Yelp reviews. Order was 1. Miso Chicken ramen ($18) 2. Hamachi Sashimi ($25), Lamb Chops ( $16), baby scallops ($13). Ramen - came with pork instead of chicken. Serves 2 people admirably as an appetizer or 1 as a main course. Not a large portion but average. Taste profile is Good but price toooo high for a medium portion -3 stars Hamachi - way too expensive for five little bitty pieces of sashimi. It was so small I double check with the waitress to make sure that there was not a mistake. This amount of fish should've cost no more than $15. Indeed I had bluefin tuna sashimi that was MUCH better tasting the previous evening for 14.95. Taste was a terrible disappointment as it liked any depth OR any real flavor. 1 star. LAMB Chops - small and overpriced. Noticing a pattern here? In addition, although the waitress told me, this was season with garlic salt, we found the flavor profile to be lacking and sold absent appropriately cooked, medium rare, the lamb taste felt fairly flat. Perhaps it was frozen and the frosting as the waitress told me it came from Australia.1 star. Baby Scallops - u get 2!!! Two little bitty, baby ( farmed not wild) scallops, and no I'm not kidding for $13. Tasty with their sauce, but hardly even an appetizer given the portion size. For this price, I expect wild, caught scallops, and at least four. .5 stars. Atmosphere- is OK at trendy Japanese want to be in Noe Valley. Music is instrumental so you can carry on a conversation, but perhaps include occasional Japanese music to better set the atmosphere. 3 stars. Service- waitress did not inquire about the satisfaction of the cuisine. Nor did she ask if we'd like anything else to eat, but summarily presented the bill. Value - miserable failure given the way over priced cuisine with just average quality ingredients. I can get farmed seafood anywhere, and a much better price, portion size and value. We cannot understand what the hype is about on yelp, and will not be back as there is much better food in a much better. Price point is much better service, many places in the city. read more

The food is fresh, delicious and good customers service... especially fresh scallops..the best Japanese restaurant in SF

I really wanted to like Dash-- but every aspect of it made me question why I'd been wanting to come here forever. This is a no photo review because I somehow was not motivated to take pictures. The restaurant is decently sized and is clean, with ample seating for larger groups. We were seated immediately and offered menus. The service however was so slow that it too them 20 mins to come back with water, an additional 10 to take our order, yet the food came out all at once -- I.e., the fried rice and unagi came out before the miso soup, and our appetisers came 20 mins after. It was disorienting. The food also did not taste flavorful or fresh. The fried rice was 100% burned, and the unagi was cooked to a crisp. The karaage, butter mushrooms, and crispy tuna rice were average at best, being either overcrowded, or soggy. The item that I did like was the salted edamame, but I cannot bring this to redeem everything else -- especially since it came to the table 45 mins into the meal. Dash, maybe something went wrong during our visit: which is fine. I would just expect more from a restaurant rated this highly. Overall was shocked and would not go out of my way to go back here. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Dash this weekend. The service was amazing, very attentive. The food was also very good. We ordered - top secret appetizer - 10/10!! Our favorite part of the meal - sashimi dinner - 9/10 good price for 12 pieces of sashimi, miso soup, and rice. We ended up getting 4 kinds of fish on it (salmon, tuna, shiro maguro, and I forget the fourth... maybe hamachi). Pretty basic but thick slices - spicy tuna roll - classic roll - spicy hamachi roll - loved this one. Similar to spicy tuna but had chunks of hamachi inside - rainbow roll - 8.5/10 Highly recommend. We will be going back. read more

I've now ordered Dash's Tonkotsu Ramen 6 times, and each bowl has been excellent! The pork is not the typical fatty-to-very fatty slices, but thick, lean and seared. Most ramen broths are so over-salted, but Dash's is full of flavor and lightly salted. I'll be back for sure, and have to dive into their sushi menu (been cold lately!). So happy Dash is nearby (Noe Valley location). read more
