Toro Special
Dhevan M.

Hidden gem alert in SoMa! Eat Sushi might look like a total hole-in-the-wall from the outside. But once you step in, the vibe shifts completely. Cozy, unfussy, and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we sat down, and our food came out remarkably fast, which is always a bonus when you're starving and craving sushi. This place really delivers on the food. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, from the sashimi to the specialty rolls. The Crazy Roll was hands-down the star of the show; it was so good that we ended up ordering it twice (no regrets). The Sunflower Roll had an amazing balance of flavor and texture, and the Toro Special Roll was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The sashimi assortment was top-tier; thick cuts, super fresh, and beautifully plated. I normally skip snow crab when I see it on menus, but decided to try it here, and wow, it was outstanding. Sweet, delicate, and just the right amount of crunch. The Hamachi Crudo was another highlight: simple, clean, and really well executed. Overall, Eat Sushi is one of those rare finds that remind you why you explore local spots in the first place. Fresh fish, great service, and surprisingly chill prices for the quality you're getting. It might not look like much from the street, but it's easily one of the best casual sushi experiences I've had in SF. Definitely coming back soon.

Veggie Dragon Roll and Ramen with Duck Breast

We love the ramen with duck breast and veggie dragon roll (sweet potato, eggplant. and avocado) Perfect combination!

I walked here and will say it's kind of hidden behind industrial doors so just push it open lol I almost didn't go inside cause it looked close! But anyways, I showed up w my family around 1pm and we had the omakase, wagyu nigiri, hamachi toro, chi-toro, and rainbow roll. All of it was $300 so it was pretty pricey compared to other rolls in the city. But the fish was cut fresh! My favorite had to be the hamachi toro

Review on to go service! Quality was ok for price. Loved the wasabi. Enjoyed the Takoyaki and miso soup. Fast and friendly service. Thank you!

Went here on a Friday night at 7:30p for 2ppl with no reservation. Immediately seated at the bar and greeted by the sushi chefs. 10 piece omakase nigiri ($60) caterpillar roll hot tea house hot sake cucumber salad steamed egg service was so friendly and helpful! they offered cucumber salad while we waited and finished off our meal with steamed egg with fish eggs. Pairing everything together with sake, ginger, and tea made every bite special. Sitting at the bar was a nice intimate setting which made for the perfect date night. definitely will return

good quality fish, especially the kanpachi. walked in on a friday night and we were the only table there. feels like it used to be a lounge and was converted into a restaurant. service was nice and attentive.

49er Roll (top) and Rainbow Roll (bottom)
Rose T.

This sushi restaurant is located in an industrial area, which is reflected in its rustic gray metal exterior and concrete interior. We had a reservation for 5 on a Thursday at lunch time but it didn't seem necessary as we were the only ones there. Our order: 49er Roll (8 pcs): $15.95 +Sushi was well-constructed: Didn't fall apart when picked up. +Salmon tasted fresh. +Cucumber was crunchy and avocado was ripe. +Thinly sliced lemon added freshness: Some sushi places use lemon slices that are too thick, which causes the roll to be bitter. A5 Wagyu Special Roll (8 pcs): $25.95 +Sushi was well-constructed: Didn't fall apart when picked up. +A5 Wagyu wasn't overcooked. +Asparagus was crunchy and avocado was ripe. +Orchid added a pop of color. Rainbow Roll (8 pcs): $18.95 +Sushi was well-constructed: Didn't fall apart when picked up. +Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and escolar tasted fresh. +Good amount of crab and ripe avocado Spider Roll (5 pcs): $15.95 +Sushi was well-constructed: Didn't fall apart when picked up. +Soft shell crab and cucumber were crunchy, while avocado was ripe. Lion King Roll (8 pcs): $18.95 +Sushi was well-constructed: Didn't fall apart when picked up. +Salmon tasted fresh and wasn't overcooked. +Good amount of crab and ripe avocado +Scallions and tobiko added pops of color and flavor. -On the salty side Kobe Beef Ramen: $18.95 +Broth was rich and savory: Not too greasy or salty +Good amount of bouncy noodles +Soft boiled egg +Corn, scallions, and seaweed added color and texture -Kobe beef was chewy Side notes: 1.) Hot water available upon request 2.) Limited street parking 3.) It was quite cold inside but luckily we brought jackets. *Verdict: Solid option for sushi in the SOMA.

The 10 Piece Omakase Nigiri. Select choices by the chef.
Anthony N.

Amazing sushi. Kind staff. And a very relaxed restaurant. My partner and I absolutely love sushi, so we usually try a sushi place wherever we travel to just compare. And to our surprise, this hole in the wall place that hides a hidden gem is now definitely in our top 3 sushi places.

Seafood Poke Salad
Pam M.

We chose this restaurant because we were going to an event at The Foundry. Reservations were easy via Yelp, but necessarily needed because they weren't too busy. We were recommended the Komatsuru Gold sake, which was crisp & refreshing & not sweet. The sushi was very fresh roll had a good rice to protein ratio. We had: the uni truffle tasting & added quail egg & the combo of uni, ikura & egg was delicious. Seafood poke salad which features salmon, tuna & hamachi with seaweed & topped with micro greens & was light & flavorful, another great dish. Truffle hirame, Folsom roll features tuna, hamachi, ebi & avocado & A5 Wagyu special roll. Everything was delicious. Service is helpful & friendly.

Menu 3/6/24
Jennifer O.

Is it the quest to chalk up another review - or curiosity to try something new? It might be both! Scrolled through my bookmarks and found Eat Sushi restaurant, Yelp waitlist a bonus though it was lightly populated on a Wednesday night. The sushi and sashimi were fantastic, very fresh and well-prepared. I decided on the 10-piece omakase nigiri ($55) with a substitution for uni (still can't try, am I a silly fool?) and miso soup. I had the surprise of wasabi and truffle under 3 or 4 pieces and got to try A5 Wagyu beef for the first time- delicious. We split the hirame sashimi in truffle oil ($16.95), wakame salad and tempura sampler ($18.95), the halibut especially tasty though the tempura, over-priced. I got to surf behind and take samples of my swimmer son's gyoza (so good with the umami punch of a grilled finish), California and Dragon rolls ($12.95, $18.95). We took a deep dive into their menu; this sushi spot is solid. The interior has plush upholstered seating, perfect for groups as well as tables and sushi bar seating. It's welcoming and sleek. I wish the lighting were a little softer; maybe they save that for Friday and Saturday night? Across the street from the old Holy Cow, you'll catch the neon Eat Sushi sign as you approach.

10 Pieces Omakase Nigiri
Jacob S.

The sushi was really good and an excellent value. And the service from Ting was amazing!

Kobe Beef Ramen
Christine L.

Kobe beef ramen was so good!!! I had low expectations when we walked in because no one was inside eating but I am glad I tried it! We only stopped by because we were looking for something quick and easy right near The FoundrySF which is just a short walk away. Servers were attentive and friendly. Chill place with bathrooms in the back. I'd come back if I was in the area and would try other dishes too.

Chawanmushi
Milind L.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 piece omakase nigiri ($65). I feel like it's pretty reasonably priced for the quality of the ingredients. I really enjoyed the uni (sea urchin), hamachi (yellowtail), and the tuna (not sure what type). They did mention all the names but I couldn't catch all of them. One of them was a torched A5 wagyu. The presentation was great, and I enjoyed the hints of soy sauce and wasabi as I ate these. They gave a complimentary edamame and chawanmushi which was very nice of them. The edamame was solid. The chawanmushi is a savory egg custard and it was topped with fish roe. I really enjoyed the fish roe exploding with flavor with the creamy custard. I was the only person there at 7pm on a Wednesday which was interesting but I haven't seen the place super busy in general (maybe it's the location). The service was great. The staff are very kind and attentive. It was also interesting that the staff were all speaking Mandarin (I think?) but the food and service was excellent so I'm a happy boy. Great interior design and dinnerware, but the front door is a slightly spooky. とても美味しい!! 很好吃!

It was one of those meals where everything just worked, and there wasn't a single dish that I wouldn't happily order again. The restaurant itself is also really cute, with a warm and lively atmosphere and charming interior decor. They have outdoor seating as well, which is a nice option when the weather is good. Dinner can get especially busy on Friday nights and weekends, but the energy is part of what makes this place fun. They stay open until midnight, so later in the evening it really starts to feel like a bit of a scene. I would highly recommend both lunch and dinner. Great food, great atmosphere and a menu where you can order pretty much anything with confidence. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again and again.

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?

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 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!

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!

It was a flavor bomb, so many layers stacked on top of the warm silky bone broth that gave the soup that thick body mouth feel. The flavor does get a little rich over time but luckily by sharing a bowl and a large karaage, we were able to offset that experience. The noodles were thin, straight and al dente. The soup clung to them well. The restaurant is located in a plazza between buildings, not a storefront you can drive up to and park. Dining space is in the back of the establishment with a combination of tables fit for 2-6 people and 2 communal tables. They were not very busy when we visited Friday night around 9 PM. Menu is a QR code on the table. All the food came out quickly after we ordered with our server, within 5-10 minutes for sure. The Karaage is $16/5 pieces. 4/5 A steep cost for fried chicken but they were hefty pieces, fried to a gentle crisp with juicy steaming chicken underneath. The chicken tasted marinated but the fry coat didn't. Akamaru Modern ($22) 4/5 It did seem like a small portion and only the soup was extraordinary in my opinion but the little bowl was tied together well and ended as a very satisfying meal. I really want to go back to have the first sip again but there were other menu items that seemed a rival contender.

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.
