Came here during my lunch break at work and I'm now obsessed! The prices are absolutely amazing here and fish quality is so good! The line gets long during lunch but goes by pretty fast. I got the salmon aburi set for $12.50 and the nigiri omakase for $16.99! These prices are unbeatable! Will definitely come back and try other sets! read more

affordable sushi for lunch? yes please. getting their omakase here for under $20 for lunch. always delicious and fresh. I keep coming back here for lunch and love their Salmon Abusura, omakase, unagi nigiri, and just-add-water miso soup. perfect size for lunch and right downtown. The line is always huge for Ebiko, and it makes sense because they're so good! Watch out that you have enough time to wait in line read more

Tried Ebiko a few times now and honestly I've been so surprised and impressed by their quality of food!! I was definitely skeptical as a new takeaway style Japanese booth with how fresh or good it could be but it was GOOD. We got their rolls, the chutoro don (amazing), and the chirashi don (also amazing), it's about the price you expect for Fidi but with pretty great quality sashimi and raw fish! Would definitely recommend grabbing lunch or takeaway from here - super worth it!! read more

Ebiko is a nice stop when you're in the mood for quick sushi in the City that won't break the bank. Ebiko is a cute small take out only shop serving up fresh sushi and non-perishable Japanese snacks. Staff are available but mostly there to checkout customers but can answer questions if needed. There is almost constantly a line but it does move quickly. My go to is their Omakase Nigiri which is 7 peices of assorted nigiri. For how fresh it is and it being located in the middle of the financial district, it's hard to beat the value. read more

This is such a beautiful gem of a place that I nearly died and went to heaven. One of my other work besties mentioned about trying this place a couple weeks ago and I wished I went with her then because I want to have this as many times as I can. Who knew this would open up just a block away from my work place?!?!? Ebiko is located near the Salesforce tower by the Gondola, and I'm so glad they opened up shop. I went here this past Friday to FINALLY try their sushi and I was blown away. This shop is super small, but aesthetically pleasing and super clean! They also have these cute baskets you can take to carry with you while you shop around. They have a ton of options, such as rolls, nigiri, soups, side orders, etc. However based on other reviews, I already knew what I wanted. As soon as it hit 11, I walked over and got the following: -2 Salmon Aburi $12.99 each -1 Omakase Nigiri $16.99 each -1 Green Tea (unsure of price) My total with tip came out to be around $49ish. I was buying lunch for a friend too, which is why my total came out around that much. REVIEW OF EACH ITEM I TRIED: -Salmon Aburi: Dear lord this was SOO good. You get 5 pieces in each set, but honestly I do wished that it came with more or that they offered more in 1 set for a bit more. I mean I guess you can get another box, but this one was pretty popular since they only had 4 left when I came. The salmon itself was SO fresh and it is lightly torched. The salmon literally melted in your mouth and I love how you can taste the smokiness from it. Paired with a bit of soy sauce, and it was a match made in heaven. 5/5 -Omakase Nigiri: This was also super good too!! The fish was SO fresh and it honestly went down like butter. I do wish that this was labeled to know exactly what you're getting, but each fish I got to try was super delicious. 4/5 I honestly will need to try more from Ebiko!! The fish is SO fresh and it honestly tastes amazing. I definitely want to try their uni next time!! The prices are fair for what you get and you can always buy more in case you're hungry. I'll definitely keep having this each week as a treat because I still can't believe a shop like this exists so close to my office. Perfect for quick lunches although the portions are smaller, but definitely worth the experience. read more

Wow, I still can't stop thinking about this place. The quality of the fish is incredible. The line, while long, went by quickly and so many options to choose from, at lunch hour during the weekday. Love the fact that it's already prepared so you basically just walk in and out during a busy, work day. The fattiness of the salmon just brought out the freshness and flavor of it and can't stop thinking about how it "melted" in my mouth, lol. The variety box was good too and so was the hamachi but definitely recommend getting a few to share, if you can. Not a bad price point either!!! read more

Amen to the freshness. This is a small place. Lines form but they are fast. It's hard to shop when everyone is crowding around and deciding. I got a few minutes of luxury. Got the 7 pieces of sushi (2 salmin, 1 scallop, 1 toro, 1 ikura fish egg, 1 tuna, missing one) and the eel was calling me. $30 for a very quick scrupulous lunch meal. They provide chopsticks and ginger and Wasabi next to cash register. Everything quick quick. I ate around the corner and went inside the okta lobby. I was famished, but so satisfied afterwards. read more

If you're looking for fresh takeout nigiri that is priced reasonably, Ebiko is the place to go! I recently stopped by Ebiko as I saw how long of a line it had outside of the shop during lunch hours. Surprisingly, the line moved pretty fast as everything is already prepped and you just grab and pay for what you want. I got the omakase nigiri and seared salmon nigiri to share. At its price point, I was honestly surprised by how fresh the fish tasted! My favorite was definitely the seared salmon and the raw salmon nigiri's which had a nice crisp from the freshness and melts in your mouth. read more

A friend recommended this to me and she couldn't be more right! They have a small little store with some snacks and to go sushi. Their selection is great but also not too much where it's overwhelming. I got the nigiri and salmon for a very reasonable price. It was absolutely delicious! They also provide nice chopsticks, napkins, soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger that are free to grab yourself. If you're craving sushi and just want something quick and to go, this is the place. Only downside is for me is that they're only open weekdays from 11am-3pm and I don't work in the city so I was only able to go on a holiday. But I will be going every chance I get! read more

The staff bring out new containers regularly so, everything's always fresh. Perfect for when you need to rush back to your desk or want to have lunch in a nearby park. I always get the uni ikura donburi and the negitoro donburi. Everything else looks amazing but those two are just too good to pass up.

Ebiko is a grab and go sushi place that offers high quality yet affordable takeout suchi. That is their mantra. I agree with the high quality part, but it is affordable only because the portions are smaller compared to eat-in restaurants. The Omakase tray only has six pieces, and each piece is about 30% smaller than at a regular restaurant, so if on a weighted basis, the price is about the same at a regular restaurant. The Bara Chirachi is beautiful to look at but it is petite sized, so you would still be hungry if that is only what you are having as a meal. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the sushi due to the high quality seafood, and the convenience of the grab and go concept. Just be aware what you are really getting for the affordable price. read more

Got to try the Oakland location a few months back, happen to see this new spot near the Salesforce center so was excited to try. Got the Salmon Aburi and the Chutoro bowl, with a barley tea. Grab your soy sauce and ginger before you leave! The Chutoro bowl was so good. Very fresh. What could be better is if they sell seaweed along side it but otherwise it was delicious. Aburi Salmon is also pretty good, had this before. Just the right balance. At 2:40 about 20 min to closing they still have a good amount of options left but there were no more uni bowl :( they also sell some Japanese drinks and a lot of snacks as well. Will be back next time I'm by the Salesforce center to grab a to go bite. read more

No frills take-out spot in downtown. The line gets long during lunch hour. However, it moves pretty quickly since it's grab and go. There are a few options for rolls and nigiris. I believe they make the sushi throughout the day as their were workers refilling the fridge as I was waiting in line. I got the omakase nigiri. It was good for the price. The fish is decently fresh, but not the tastiest sushi I've had. I liked that they can give variety for a low price. I can see why it's popular among workers downtown. If you're not an office worker, there are some public spaces to eat around Ebiko. Only open on the weekday, so I was glad I had time off to come by to try it. read more

I was walking around in Soma/East Cut and randomly found Ebiko! This is a great place if you're looking for fast, fresh sushi in downtown and don't have east access to Nijiya or any other Japanese markets in the city. There was a huge selection of rolls, sashimi, nagiri, and chirashi bowls. I personally went with the Omakase Nigiri and was very pleased with the quality. All the fish were fresh (no fishy flavor) and were decent sized portions for $16.99. There were also utensils, ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce included with each purchase (a nice win considering everything in SF costs extra). Salesforce Park is nearby if you're looking for a nice place to eat your sushi. A must try! read more

If high-end sushi bars still turn out very expensive, consider going to Ebiko, one of the grab-and-go international convenient stores where you buy good enough raw fin fish rolls and other cheap eats. For a more healthier option, try the 4-piece pickled veggies. These contain probiotic properties that are beneficial before sushi consumption. Oh, and don't expect these fancy wooden chopsticks to be your keeper; they're disposable when you're done eating sushi. There are times when many people are in line for some grab-and-go eats at Ebiko during lunch break. It's interior this small still makes up for a cute sight to behold.

When the dish landed, I was initially impressed. But after the first bite, it felt a bit like the Wizard of Oz: impressive presentation hiding something less substantial underneath. Their lasagna is a sort of deconstructionist take on the classic dish. The noodles are cooked and layered almost naked between barely any pockets of filling. There were a few tidbits of meat, maybe sauce and no cheese within the layers themselves. The noodles are then baked, cut, plated, and topped with what I'd guess was about a 6 oz ladle of their bolognese, finished with finely pre-grated parmesan. The first bite was overwhelmingly pasta-forward. It took me a moment to understand how the dish had been assembled against my expectations. Once I cut into it and spread everything out, it became clear this wasn't the kind of lasagna I think of when ordering lasagna. It didn't check the familiar boxes - a rich ragù, maybe a creamy béchamel, or the sharp, salty depth of cheeses layered throughout. The dish lacked the complexity and savory comfort I was craving and expecting. Another miss was the homemade flatbread (which I went back and paid cash for, so it wasn't included in the total). Traditional Italian flatbread is a yeast-free bread made with flour, olive oil or lard, salt, and water or milk, then rolled thin and cooked until crisp yet chewy. This version tasted like flour, lard, and water. It wasn't crisp or chewy. As soon as I started chewing, it turned into an unappetizing doughy mass in my mouth. After the first quarter-piece, I didn't eat anymore. As for everything else, I arrived around 7:15 on a Saturday night, and the inside was packed with a small line to the door. The outdoor tables weren't full, but it was summer in San Francisco, more people were jockeying for seats inside than out. But I wasn't too concerned and I got there around 7, so all that is on me. There were a few specials written on a chalkboard, and the cashier was awesome while explaining those. They were incredibly patient. I apologized for holding up the line, and in a very Italian way, they assured me it was my right to make sure I ordered exactly what I wanted. That interaction honestly stood out as one of the better parts of the experience. I grabbed a table just as one opened up, helped myself to water a few times from the station, and my food arrived in about 20 minutes which wasn't bad considering how busy they were. There's been a bit of internal conflict with this review. I usually don't like judging a restaurant based on a single dish, especially a restaurant with so many positive reviews. But I also don't spend as much time in that part of the city anymore, and there are simply too many other places I still want to try. Unfortunately, while there was some good-looking food on other tables, if a restaurant's claim of lasagna as its signature dish doesn't hold up, the first visit just didn't do enough to pull me back for a second chance.

To cut to the chase, we absolutely adored Nijiya and would love it if they had one near us in Walnut Creek/East Bay. They had so many items from takeaway sushi, to pocky and chocolate covered pistachios, to a massive selection of thinly sliced shabu meat, to an entire corner of ramen, to sparkling alcoholic drinks and ramune. We also picked up some canned water chestnuts and fresh green onion for the broth/soup we planned to make. The service was incredibly helpful and prompt, although the checkout area is a bit tight with other customers back to back to you. All in all, we will definitely be back and absolutely loved our visit!

Through the pandemic, through the changing neighborhood, the Battambang Market is still my go to place for SE Asian ingredients and fresh produce. Even with the H-mart now in town, this is still the only place you can find fresh holy basil and fresh green peppercorns. Also, love the ladies who work here! Very sweet every one of them!

You would think the Cambodian proprietors would have expanded their space by now, but no, San Francisco real estate being what it is, the market remains a claustrophobic space where they maximize every square inch with produce and other goods native to that part of the world. You will be on sensory overload. The unique inventory includes jars of pickled eggplant and peppercorns (photo: http://bit.ly/2J1RagV), cans of grass jelly and fruit cocktail (photo: http://bit.ly/2J4epH6), and bunches of plantains (photo: http://bit.ly/2GCdIqm). It's in the deepest part of the 'Loin, so be cautious getting over here, but if you're intent on creating an authentic Thai dinner, I can't think of a market less likely not to have that particular ingredient you desperately need like kaffir lime leaves, fresh galangal, and mangosteens. The staff is also really nice and helpful here, and there's certainly no mistaking this business for the fashion-forward Meraki Market a few blocks away.
