Been here a handful of times and love the quick pick up! Decently priced and the fish is so so so fresh. I love getting my sushi here. There can be a bit of line when it's lunch time since it is in FiDi. The grab and go is so clutch!
Glad I got a chance to try Ebiko again. Went in-store this time around 11:15am on a Thursday and there was no line yet (thank goodness cause I was in a rush). I got the salmon aburi ($12.50) and the omakase nigiri ($16.99), and enjoyed both items. The owner actually reached out shortly after my initial time trying their food via DoorDash and basically comped this meal. I figured what happened to me was a one off, so I really respect and appreciate what he did. It showed me this business really stands behind the quality of their food and care about their customers' experience. Thanks, Ebiko!
Counter style sushi spot in East Cut. Super convenient for those that work in the area. Set up is a series of fridges that you can grab sushi and nigiri from. Highly recommend pre ordering from their website. There's usually a long line during weekday lunch time. Ordering ahead and you can skip the whole line and grab your food from a shelf they have on the left from the entrance. - inari - a personal favorite. A solid inari that satisfied my craving. Sweet tofu skin - bara chirashi - assorted sliced premium fish over rice. Super fresh fish and rice is well cooked and seasoned. Portion size of fish seemed smaller than my last visit and smaller than older pics from others. Idk if it's actually smaller, as I assume it goes by weight, but that's just how it looked. Still delicious Both under $25 total which is solid value!
Food (5/5): Ordered a variety of rolls including California, Omakase, seared tuna, and unagi eel. All of them were super fresh and delicious! Service (4/5): No issues with the service. You basically just select the sushi you want that's containerized and then line up to purchase. Ambiance (4/5): Small shop with no seating. This is more for a quick lunch sushi pick up.
If I worked nearby, I'd probably eat at Ebiko for lunch every day. The fish is fresh, good portion, and the prices reasonable for the quality you get when you want something on the go. I got the Bara Chirashi, which came with bluefin tuna, salmon, ikura, snow crab, and tamago egg over a bed of rice. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. My husband opted for the Seared Aburi Salmon Don and the Tuna Chutoro Don, and both were equally delicious. During our stay in San Francisco, there were actually two Ebiko locations within walking distance of our hotel, which made it a convenient option whenever we were craving sushi. It's the perfect spot when you're short on time but still want something fresh, healthy, and delicious.
5* for the omakase nigiri! The fatty in me loved going in person to pick the combo with the fattiest toro. We always gotten delivery so was pleasantly surprised it was only $16.99 out the door! The hamachi roll ($7.99) and salmon roll ($7.50) were also delicious! Ikura side ($4.25) - a skip for me. To be fair, I never liked ikura but surprisingly really liked it at Dining Yamamoto so thought I'd try here too. To-go only. Bright and clean, right by salesforce. Service was great! The girl working was so sweet and kind.
Didn't know sushi takeout culture was so big in SF, but this was super yummy and fresh. My favorite was the seared salmon. It just melted in my mouth. The nigiri omakase was a good variety too, very standard. We went around 12 p.m. and waited 10 minutes on a Thursday! There's lots of outside seating near + the salesforce park. the shop itself is very small though
What a great little grab and go fresh sushi spot right by the Salesforce tower! I was in town working at our SF office for the week and saw this was a popular choice among the corporate crowd. It did not disappoint! I got a spicy tuna roll - it was a great price and delicious! Lines can get really long around noon but I took a later lunch and came at an off time at around 2. They were still stocking the shelves with fresh rolls and you could ask for more options. I was in and out so quick and the employees were very friendly!
My go to sushi place for lunch for chirashi, nigiri and rolls. The fish here is so fresh and extremely affordable for the quality. At noon there is always a long line for the lunch rush, but it moves along quickly. In this picture, I got the chirashi for around $18 which is an impossible price if you were to dine in anywhere for this high quality fish. Highly recommend!
What I ordered: tuna avo roll, unagi roll. $19 Ordered online @ 1pm. No line when I arrived. The good: - Prices. - Sushi I'd probably eat again if I wanted take-away. It's next to my Market/Bush office so very convenient. - Easy online ordering (which I recommend due to the long lines). The bad: - unagi roll. Had a very weird taste. Ate one roll and had my co-worker try one. We both agreed it needed to be tossed. - No online option to order extra wasabi or low sodium soy sauce. I ordered two rolls and got 1 soy sauce packet and the tiniest bit of wasabi. I couldn't even taste it once it was mixed with the soy sauce. - No wasabi in the roll. The overall lack of wasabi kinda ruined it for me. Next time I'll have to ask for more. - Not the freshest of fish. Not terrible though. It's probably what I'd expect for a pre/mass-prepared (given the number of locations I'm assuming it's mass prepared). - The rice. You've got to figure the rice out. It doesn't taste like it's sushi-grade rice, or if it is, it's a lower quality. It wasn't sticky enough to hold the roll together. Each piece fell apart upon picking up. Would I go again? I'd give them a 2nd shot if I'm craving sushi and I need it fast and to go. I'm armed with more information now that I've tried it. More wasabi and buy low sodium soy for the office. Oh and I probably wouldn't order the omakase nigiri though. I didn't order this time because the online review pictures were less than appealing (not too fresh). And of course wouldn't order the unagi roll because i'm not entirely sure what was wrong with it. Weird sauce? Gone bad? Who knows.
Really convenient option for when you're craving sushi and want something quick! Even though it's a takeout only spot, the quality of the sushi was still top tier. The prices are super fair for the portion sizes. During lunch on a weekday, I would 100% recommend placing an online pickup order. The line was super long due to all the business people being on lunch lol. I personally wouldn't wait in that long of a line, but I could see WHY the line is so long since the food is so good!
Fantastic takeout nigiri lunch stop!! The quality is very good, and the staff is so nice despite being overwhelmed with the hundreds of customers & orders they get every day! It's a cute little store with a line out the door & down the block. They have lots of sushi options, and fun Japanese snacks & drinks! You can't go wrong here. Everything from the seaweed salad to the omakase nigiri platter is fantastic. I would recommend the salmon aburi, unagi roll, unagi nigiri, snow crab roll, salmon avocado roll, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll... pretty much everything. Assuming it's something you actually like, you wont find a more convenient way to get solid quality sushi in the city! My office regularly stops here because it's consistently amazing. Would highly recommend!
I've gone here more times than I can count at this point since starting my job at the Tower. I recommend avoiding it around 11-12, when the line can wrap around and look ridiculous. I always manage to wait less than 5 minutes whenever I go around 1:30-2, and they're still putting out a lot. The salmon aburi is a MUST, and the Chirashi bowls -- such great variety and so fresh. It can get a little pricey for an everyday lunch type of thing, but it's a good deal for great quality sushi on the go.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh sushi, especially omakase nigiri, and the convenient grab-and-go format. Staff are often friendly.

7 pieces of high quality sushi for $17 is a great deal. If you like good tuna nigiri this will be good. The rice was good. Comes with nice chopsticks. read more
Randomly found this place on Yelp while looking for a quick lunch spot near financial district. It was a to-go spot with take-outs only. I picked up the omakase nigiri and chirashi sets. Price was fair and ingredients were fresh, but portion was smaller than I anticipated and these two alone were not enough for an average male adult :) 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

Such a cute little spot in the middle of Financial District! I find the prices pretty reasonable for the location and the quality. Everything is placed so beautifully and aesthetically. I love it! You can put orders up online for pick up and you can also just walk into the store and quickly check out. I was in and out in less than a minute. There was no line and there's workers constantly putting out new and fresh sushi! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you're nearby and looking for a quick and delicious bite! read more

On a rare day in SoMa, my friend and I happened upon Ebiko when we were looking for a snack - perfect serendipity, as Ebiko had been on my list for quite some time! We picked up a nigiri set each and since it was closing, the staff even threw in some free edamame and a salmon avocado roll. So touched by the generosity, and pleased by the delicious fresh fish. read more

fresh fish and fair prices. this grab-and-go is a great addition to the neighborhood. sadly only open M-F. btw i went around noon and some stuff was already dwindling. i got the omakase nigiri (16.99) and spicy salmon roll (9.50). the nigiri pieces were a little smaller than i expected, but it satisfies the craving if you're looking for a quick fix. the scallop and salmon were the standouts for me (and im not a big scallop fan). probably wouldn't get the omakase again, but would get the spicy salmon roll again! either way, no denying the quality. will be back to try other items. they also have japanese drinks and snacks. read more
I know the Oakland one gets long lines, but I came here on a Friday and did not have to wait at all. Cute little addition to downtown sf! Omakase nigiri: The fish was all very tasty and not too big or too small of slices. The rice is more similar to regular rice, not sushi rice- but it's a good fish/rice ratio. Overall very good, especially considering that it's to-go. They've got a nice selection of other sushi dishes available, and a fridge of several Japanese and non-Japanese drinks. Cashier was also very friendly! 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

Really solid spot! Like that it's quick grab and go. The fish is super fresh too. I tried the omakase nigiri and the salmon avocado roll. 18 dollars for 6 nigiris in SF (I ate one from the picture) is a really solid deal. I went around 1pm and there wasn't much of a line. I'll come back when I'm craving sushi in the office and in the fidi area!! read more
Supes fresh. went after the main rush hour at 12 very short line. paid 8.99 for I think 7 piece roll. fish is super fresh. Price is low but portion smaller. I'd go again I work nearby. easy grab n go with a decent price. they offer drinks and chips also. I like their chopsticks. not the cheap wack ones they were sturdy and nice and pre split with no wood splinters 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. Might come back for some grab-and-go during my lunch break. read more

The nigiri sets are so good - the seared salmon nigiri is my favorite but the quality of the mixed nigiri set is amazing My only wish is that ebiko was open on weekends! read more
Quick take out sushi place! They have quality sushi at reasonable prices. It won't fill you up for a meal but worth trying! Got the omakase and the salmon and tuna all had great texture and flavor. The ginger and wasabi are fresh and spicy. The pickled veggies were refreshing too. The inside is super clean and neat! Staff was also kind and efficient. read more
Embarcadero's newest sushi take out spot! They have a small but mighty menu with good ratios of rice to fish. The fish is fresh. They're known for their Omakase Nigiri combo box that's $17 for 7 pieces. You just go in and pickup whatever boxes you want from the fridge that they have and pay at the front. The shop is small but the line goes by quick. read more
I am so so happy that Ebiko opened up near my work!! I go here at least once a week and it's something that I look forward to so much. I always get the omakase set and switch between the uni/ikura side and the salmon aburi. The fish quality is always amazing, clean, and tastes so fresh. I love that it's a grab and go so you can get your food quick. I usually end up spending around $25-$30 here, which I think is a great price for what you get. I also love that they have a good selection of Asian snacks and drinks to choose from. I've told a couple coworkers about this spot and they all love it too!! read more

I work right by Ebiko Sushi, so I was definitely looking fwd to trying it because I love sushi and there arent too many quick on the go spots for lunch. I went around 12:10 PM on a Wednesday and the line was a 20 minute wait. When I arrived I also saw there were no Omakase nigiri boxes in the fridge. At first, I quickly became discouraged. Luckily, they had a bunch of boxes come out front but I wish they communicated that clearer before I grabbed an aburi salmon in replacement and had to quickly put it back. The quality is incredible but every box is definitely not made the same. I wished they always had a lot of Omakase to choose out because the size of certain fish pieces do vary. Regardless, I still found the quality of the fish to be extremely fresh. Its a grab and go place so nothing to comment on regarding ambiance. it is very clean in there so I am never worried about the quality of my meal. I will be returning to try their more affordable options (aburi salmon nigiri, unagi roll, spicy salmon roll) in the future. read more
No frills grab and go spot serving up amazing sushi. The fish is super fresh. My favourite was the Salmon Aburi which was seared really well. The salmon avo roll tasted really fresh and there was a good amount of salmon. The various toro in the omakase set were okay but not as flavourful as I would expect fatty tuna to be. My only gripe was that the rice tasted sweet but it might have just been a bad batch of rice or perhaps it's their style. read more

There's a reason Ebiko has mostly 5 star reviews. At $16.99 for their omakase nigiri, the fish quality is impressive. The scallop and fatty tuna are buttery and melt-in-your-mouth - rarely found at this price point. Even the ginger and wasabi are fresh. read more

Amazing quality and the sushi was so fresh! This is a convenient grab and go sushi spot for a reasonable price! They also sell snacks and have a drink fridge. Order online to skip the line and to make sure they don't run out of the one you want! Can't wait to come back and try their other rolls! read more

Giving this spot 3.5 stars. The first time I had Ebiko I thought their nigiri omakase was good, but when I had it again yesterday, I just thought the sushi overall was mediocre. I also tried their spicy salmon roll and California roll but it was average. The sushi rice is regular rice FYI. And some might like their rolls to be massive, but I prefer the rice ratio to be normal. I think this place is good for people who want to have a quick sushi fix, but keep in mind it's also take out sushi so don't expect too much. There's a lot of variety here and the prices are fair, but I'd rather just grab sushi at a sushi restaurant next time. read more

I've been a huge fan of Ebiko since they opened up their location in Piedmont! Really easy to pick up and go, and their fish quality is always amazing and fresh. Super reasonable for what you get. It was so good that I got lunch from them two days in a row :) read more

I am SO happy that Ebiko opened up in FiDi. I live a couple blocks away and the one thing that this area was missing was an affordable sushi place. My boyfriend and I frequent Nijiya as we are huge sushi eaters and cannot get a good bang for our buck at other sushi restaurants. We've been getting Ebiko every week since it opened and it has not let us down. The fish was very fresh and the quality of everything was so great. The portions were a good size and the fish to rice ratio was good. Prices are so affordable compared to other places. It does get busy during lunch hours so I'd recommend going early around 11 AM when they open or after lunch. read more

I'm so excited to see a place like this open near my office. It's grab a go, pretty affordable for the quality of food, efficient, and very clean. Aside from the takeout sushi on the refrigerated shelves, they also have an assortment of savory and sweet snacks for you to grab to enjoy with your meal. I came around 1pm and got the salmon aburi with shrimp chips all for $14, and was in/out in less than 2 minutes. The shelf seemed partially empty but I'm sure they replace sold out rolls throughout the day. Side note: this place is related to the Kyoto on Solano Ave in Albany, which is run by the owner's mom. When I went to school and lived in the East Bay, I went to Kyoto often so I have tons of nostalgia about the food. Does it make me biased? Maybe. But the quality here is great and you can read up on their Piedmont location reviews to confirm the same. Go here if you're looking for efficient and quality sushi. And in return you get to support a true small business making strides in the FIDI :) read more

5 stars with the proper expectations - it's a quick grab, fairly priced lunch spot. Presentation and variety were great. Taste was a bit milder / blanders than what I anticipated from just the look of the food. Love the options of snacks and drinks! read more
