Afshin A.

Small Space, Big Flavor in North Beach While walking around North Beach and Chinatown, I decided to get some sushi. A quick online search provided a list of places I had already tried, but I came across DJ Sushi. I remembered walking by this restaurant a few times, but I had never gone in to try it. I was the only guest when I arrived at the restaurant, so I decided to dine in. As I walked in, I noticed a long hallway. On the left side was a small seating area, and the kitchen was on the right. The main dining area was straight ahead, and I was surprised that it was a very small but well-organized and clean space. The hostess who greeted me was very nice and offered me some edamame to snack on while I reviewed the menu. I started with miso soup, which was delicious, and then opted for the Omakase, an eight-piece nigiri combo chosen by the chef. It was also very fresh and delicious. I was really happy with my choices. Despite my desire for dessert, especially the mochi and cheesecake, I decided to skip the extra calories. True, DJ Sushi is located in a less desirable part of North Beach, but the food quality there is very high, and the service is pretty good. Do not let the unusual space (for a restaurant) impact you negatively when you walk in. This is an old building in an old area of North Beach, and I assume it was a residential building at some point. If you are craving delicious and fresh sushi while visiting North Beach, consider DJ Sushi one of your top options. You will not be disappointed.

Food. Attention to details lacking? Very disappointed as I ordered with specific instructions of no onions whatsoever and it came loaded with onions. More onions than meat!!! I really wanted to rate this high as the sushi was good. Had to throw it away due to allergies. Waste.

Tiger Roll

This is the only sushi place I order from DoorDash in the city but I don't know what happened to the quality. as I was eating the rolls I realized they skimped out on the fish the pieces of fish on top are super thin, thinner than gas station sushi. For the filling it's not even full they didn't put a lot inside. They used to have thicker pieces of fish. It's not worth the price I paid for the food at all I'm so disappointed because this order always makes me full but I'm still hungry!

Cherry Blossom Roll
Janice O.

Ordered through Doordash for lunch. It is a bit expensive, but food is good. Not sure I would order again due to sushi prices and amount of food, but glad I ordered at least once. The pumpkin coquettes are delicious and the best I've tasted with a slightly spicy mayo. The cherry blossom roll was fine. Was disappointed that I ate it too quickly. Could have eaten double since it wasn't too big.

Sushi roll + 6-piece gyoza + 2 mochi
Anne W.

I ordered takeout, and the sushi tasted fine. It wasn't particularly amazing, but it wasn't bad in any way. I think the gyoza was a little bit not super fried by the time I got it. But in general, I didn't think the flavor inside was that different. I felt like it's something that I could have just heated up from a Trader Joe's bag on my own. The mochi was actually quite good. The only unfortunate part was that when I caught it, the ice cream was already melted, but I think that was still okay for mine, but I definitely tasted better. In total, the meal came out to $30 plus a $5 tip, so it was pretty reasonably affordable. The takeout service was pretty quick because I actually got my food about 20 minutes after ordering it. I can't speak to ambiance because I didn't eat in person, but I have heard good things.

Dine In Deal $39!!

I stopped at DJ sushi for lunch and the atmosphere iwas cute, cozy and unassuming. The server greeted me with a smile and told me briefly about the menu. I ordered the lion King roll and shrimp Tempura classic roll. The lion King role was delicious and fresh. I would order this again!. The flavors were amazing! The shrimp tempura roll was good also. I will be back to check out happy hour. You definitely get a bang for your buck because the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous!

Teriyaki Chicken Skewer, Rainbow Roll, four 4 Seasons Roll
Chris W.

Got delivery today in the rainy weather, everything was tasty: Rainbow roll, 4 seasons roll, and chicken teriyaki skewers. Quality fish, soft rice, only feedback is I wish they used up less sauce on the 4 seasons roll and less teriyaki sauce on the chicken skewers (these arrived cold so just popped them in the air fryer for a minutes and it worked wonders). Was a bit salty but still very delicious, would order from again.

Cherry Blossom Roll, O toro nigiri, Hamachi Nigiri
Naomi W.

Review is for takeout only. I haven't dined in before, but they always have some good BOGO deals on Uber Eats. Portion size is pretty generous and fish was really fresh. The cherry blossom roll tasted delicious, and the nigiri were pretty large.

Back in December 2018, I passed by and caught a whiff of something pleasant. There was a remarkably…read morelong line, but I decided to get in it thinking I could order quick, chow down, and be on my way. Alas! it was not to be, as I had to meet up with my group, and the line only moved in smidges. The intervening years visiting SF didn't provide me with any opportune moments to stop by. That is, until one Saturday evening August 2026 while I was walking around and by chance happened upon the same lovely scent. Although it was a few minutes before 11pm, the line to get in was closed off. Tomorrow was my last night in SF, so I made it my primary objective to dine here. Well, Sunday I was at the Chase Center till about 9:20pm where the Muni line was packed and going nowhere fast. In the spur of the moment, I ran all the way from Chase Center to Lower Nob Hill, a 2.3-mile journey, yielding to red lights and Pokémon fans. Exhausted, it was a couple minutes past 10pm when I arrived. Lo and behold, the line had not closed yet. Ordered their Signature Toripaitan ramen and was very pleased that it was ready in about two minutes. I'm not afraid to admit I literally vacuumed the contents of that bowl. Sure I was sweaty and famished, but the combination of chashu, menma, burdock root, ajitama egg, chicken broth, and every other element checked all my proverbial boxes. The waitstaff who took my order was likely aghast that I ate so violently, though she was professional and responded energetically when I showered her with thanks and praise for the meal. I also ordered a mazemen to-go for the next day's lunch, and that was a real treat. Recently, I learned that there is a location in Culver City. Heck, why wait another 8 years?

I remember the last time I was here I waited an hour in line and I still decided to come back for…read moretheir ramen a few years later! My wait this time wasn't too bad since I came on a weekday and on the earlier side. The signature toripaitan ramen featured a creamy chicken broth with al-dente, chewy mochi ramen noodles. I enjoyed both the pork and the duck meat, especially the latter with its inherent seasoning and tenderness. The mushroom pieces were tasty as well; appreciated the ratio of soup to noodles to other ingredients. I personally liked the signature over the spicy version. I very much appreciated how they keep their soup warm with a second bowl. You really can't go wrong with the enoki chips - crispy, umami, and slightly citrus-y to cut the oiliness. The line moves at a reasonable rate, given how small the space is. Probably much harder for larger parties. Every seated individual is required to order a bowl of ramen. Would come back on a weekday if I'm craving their ramen!

Karaage: Crispy, not greasy at all, and the pieces are big. Very satisfying. 5/5 Tokusei Tsukemen: The dipping broth is just like San Mateo's -- rich and fragrant, and the yuzu's fresh aroma and slight bitterness fit it perfectly. Their chashu is cut thick, which as a meat lover I really appreciate. Of the Extreme Chashu add-ons, the grilled chicken chashu was the best of the bunch -- incredibly tender. 5/5 Shio Chukasoba: The grilled chicken thigh in it was very tender too. The broth is rich, though a touch on the salty side -- not one you'd drink straight on its own. 4/5 Overall: 5 stars.

Every component adds to the entire bowl. Definitely think this should be eaten before the other heavier flavored ramen. It reminds me of a similar Michelin star chicken ramen in Japan. The eggplant appetizer is a great starter, ponzo sauce is perfectly umami and lightly sweet. So good, I drink it all! The tofu was also nice and well flavored. Very highly recommend Taishoken SF! Compliments to the chef, manager, and staff! PLEASE PLEASE COME TO SOCAL!

I wish they kept the spice level adjustment option but you can add spice at the table. It's very fairly priced for the city and for everything you get, noodles are a great thickness, egg is always cooked consistently, menma is always just soft enough. And the staff is attentive. If you go during the weekend, especially around dinner time, you could probably expect a wait, but I've come to go during week nights and it's never an issue. Parking in J-town is probably my biggest gripe but we'll deal. I've also been to the Hinodeya in Chinatown, Union Square, and in San Jose near Valley Fair. All have been consistent but this one is my go-to. They once accommodated my party of ~14 people on a Saturday and we didn't wait longer than 30min.

Lots of tables so it doesn't feel cramped inside and outside seating for those who want to dine with a view. Waters were provided after 5 minutes on a weekday, server had to be flagged down for our orders. Fried garlic present on each table for extra toppings. Broth is lighter in flavor and thick style noodles have good texture.

Creamy ramen is the must order with rich soy milk flavor broth Tokyo seven duck ramen: part of their seasonal limited menu, the duck was dry without much seasoning Tonkatsu ramen: tonkatsu fried well and asked for it on the side to keep the crunch, light broth that complemented the meat

Upon entering, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our preference of seating was accommodated and waters were provided as we sat. Our hostess greeted us minutes later and shortly following both ramens arrived. There was a two-sided stand on each table, each the size of an index card. Both sides were a QR, one to access the menu and the other to leave feedback/review. The ramen menu was pretty extensive with two options for vegetarian. The prices ranged from $20-25 for ramen excluding add-ons. For San Francisco, location and quality of food, the prices were beyond reasonable and affordable for the experience had. My selection, Nirvana (that it was!), is plant based composed of Japanese soy-milk mushroom-infused broth, Tokyo-style thick wavy noodles, fragrant garlic oil, and fried enoki tempura. To elevate my dish, I added the Onsen Tamago (a silky, milky-soft white and a firm, custard-like, creamy yolk) and allowed it to infuse with the broth. The broth was a creamy, smooth, mouth-coating explosion of umami from the savory mushrooms. The portion size was appropriate for a feeling of fullness in absence of feeling overly stuffed - not American portions. The restaurant itself was dimly lit with intimate seating amongst separate parties. The furniture was deeply stained wood, elegantly complementing the decor spread throughout. The bins between seating held personal belongings without the need of locating where to place them. Would we return, definitely, especially since the weather is getting colder and warmth inside is needed more. Exceptional service, even better food!

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
