    Uji Matcha with Blueberry ($7.50)
    Rheanna C.

    Fish In The Box is the best place to go to when you're craving sushi + matcha combo! We stumbled upon this place one Friday evening and we were lucky to find street parking right in front! The inside is honestly super small with only about 3-4 tables but it seems like a lot of people get their food to-go from the amount of people coming in to pick up! As you enter, you order through an iPad kiosk and so we decided to get the Deluxe Box ($52) and Uji Matcha with Blueberry ($7.50). I was honestly super surprised that BOTH the sushi and matcha tasted high-quality and crazily delicious! I didn't really like the blueberry in my drink since I felt like it took away from the matcha flavor, but the matcha itself was the real star of the drink! It was very umami and I loved that the matcha wasn't grainy at all! As for the sushi box, I normally don't finish them but I ate every single bit of the Deluxe Box! I love that the presentation is of the sushi is pretty and that there wasn't too much rice either! I also think that their pricing is very reasonable because I've seen other places that are more expensive, but not as high quality as Fish In The Box! If you're not interested in something as big as the deluxe box, they have miniature box options as well as sushi rolls! Fish In The Box has genuinely been one of my fave SF finds this year and I'm looking forward to the next time I come back!

    Build your own bowl

    I'm really glad that we waited until they reopened again at 4:30 so we could can finally give them a try. We ended up ordering for takeout and the pickup process was pretty easy, and the pick up time was accurate. The inside also looked really cute too so I'm definitely looking forward to dining in next time. We ordered the build your own bowl, and it came with white rice, salmon, unagi sauce, spicy aioli, imitation crab, seaweed salad, fish flakes, and some pickled veggies. We also ordered the salmon zuke box, and it came with fresh salmon over rice and on the side they put the egg yolk that you put over it. Everything paired really well together and tasted so fresh. Overall, everything was so delicious, fresh and well prepared. We'll definitely be back!

    Toro Toro Roll
    Maddie L.

    Ordered the fish in the box lite and a Toro toro roll to share with me and a friend. Toro toro roll: kind of pricy ($22) but honestly so worth it! The fish was so good and melts in your mouth. Also love that it comes with real wasabi! Fish in the box lite ($38): all the fish was super fresh and good quality! They gave perfect amount of rice and appreciate the soy sauces that comes in mini syringes. Overall, very happy with the sushi and would def try again. The shop is quite small with limited seating but has nearby parks to sit and picnic with.

    Strawberry milk with Matcha cream top

    4.5 I am always looking for good fish boxes and matcha, and this place caught my attention. I ordered from the kiosk and sat at a table. I believe there were QR codes at the tables as well, but its ok. The workers knew where I was anyways :) Items came out pretty quickly and they were friendly! I got the strawberry milk with matcha cream top, deluxe box (for 1), Toro Toro Roll, and Bonky Roll. I was pleasantly surprised with how good and creamy the matcha was!! The deluxe box was really good, and presented nicely! I loved everything in the box, all the flavors complimented each other. The toro toro roll was good as well. My least favorite was the bonky roll, but it's more of a me thing as I am not a fan of spicy tuna, but my bf enjoyed everything, so more for him! They have a few tables inside, can fill up quick when it gets busy/might have to wait.

    I came right when they opened for the day and was first in line. I got the ultimate box that has a little bit of everything-shrimp, scallops, crab meat, salmon, tuna, roe and caviar. All of this for $55 which I think it's such a good deal. It feed the 2 of us and I was full. The quality was good and the fish were fresh which is why I was impressed. I also had their strawberry matcha which I thought it tasted ok. Strawberry jam was a little too tart for my liking. The matcha was a creamy matcha and it tastes like a normal grade matcha powder. Overall, I don't really care for their matcha latte. What I didn't like what, although I was the first in line, my order took 30 mins to be ready. I also tipped and this place ended up to be one of those place you clean up after yourself. If you live there, it's best to bring it to go. I enjoyed the meal and wish I have access to this more often but I don't.

    Blue Fin Maguro Zuke Box and Deluxe Box
    Vivian T.

    Seating was very quick. The inside is nice and cozy, but very limited, so if it is crowded it could be hard to find a spot. The fish is sashimi grade and tastes very fresh! Everything was served in disposable bento boxes. In the bluefin tuna box, I loved the caramelized egg side dish stored in the disposable side. They ask for what sauce you want on the side and store it in these suction plastic pipette(s) that I have never seen. Definitely would come again!

    Kept seeing this place pop up on DoorDash so I decided to order for pick up on their website. I ordered the deluxe box and a blueberry matcha. Deluxe box- (2/5) this consisted of one amaebi, scallops, seared salmon belly, ikura, Kani and negi toro. The highlight of this box is the kani which was creamy and really delicious. The negi toro did not taste fresh and tasted fishy. I typically really like seared salmon belly but they did not sear the salmon enough and the pieces of fish were cut really thick which personally I didn't like. Blueberry matcha (4/5)- I liked the flavor of blueberry with the matcha and it was balanced. The matcha was not too sweet and you could still taste the earthiness through the blueberry. I would get this again. Overall, I would only come back to this spot for their drinks and skip the fish boxes.

    Spicy tuna, hamachi, salmon bowl- sauce was good and not too salty
    Janey L.

    We were driving into the city and we were so happy to find this little gem on the way for lunch! Parking is pretty tough but we got a little lucky. We ordered the Hamachi yuzu truffle bowl and the spicy tuna, salmon, hamachi bowl. Both were very pretty good size and so fresh and delicious. We would love to come back and try other bowls and fancy boxes!

    Salmon Zuke Box
    Warren K.

    Came here on Valentine's Day at 5 PM since they opened at 4:30 and by then they were already sold out of their 2 most popular items. Most of the people were ordering from DoorDash or online, but we were one of the only parties there that were planning dine in which definitely helped speed up how fast our order came. After 30 minutes, the food came out and it was SO worth the wait. I have to say, their fish quality is top tier, especially the Salmon Zuke Box, which I would have to give almost a 10/10. I think it came with Soy Sauce, Wasabi, and some sort of Egg Yoke dip (first time trying it and absolutely delicious!) I could definitely see the reason why there were so many people ordering online for this place, the 30 minute wait was so worth it. The best takeout sushi place that I've had so far in SF for the price, and I would highly recommend! (4.9/5 stars)

    Lydia P.

    OMG guys, wow this place is soo good, literal chefs kiss! The place is soo cute, clean, but with limited seating. First, the workers were soo sweet and the food came out fast. I ordered the Deluxe Box, Alani Roll, and Truffle Harmony Bowl and guys, it did not disappoint!! I was worried because of the price but the quality of the fish, presentation, and portion size makes it worth it. What we bought was worth 2-3 serving sizes, and we had left overs. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you are visiting SF or are in the area.

    Deluxe box (lite, serves 1 person) Toro Toro Roll
    Alexis M.

    My sister recommended Fish in the Box to me for its high quality fish and matcha. I visited over the weekend and it was not too busy, though service was a bit slow since there was only one person working. We shared the deluxe box and the toro toro roll, and both were delicious. The roll was definitely our favorite. We also tried the earl grey matcha. It was good overall, but the earl grey flavor was a bit stronger than the matcha. The shop itself is very small, with about 7 tables total between indoor and outdoor seating. It feels more like a grab and go spot than a place to sit and dine.

    Fish In The Box (regular size, serves 1-2)
    Janeesah H.

    Ordered takeout from Fish in the Box and overall it was really good. The fish tasted super fresh and high quality. The truffle flavor stood out the most and was honestly my favorite part, it added so much depth without being overpowering. The mango was also a great touch and paired really well with the fish. This dish was priced at $48 which seems valuable for the quality and I think it fits the description and could be split into 2 meals. A couple things held it back from being amazing though. The rice was a little sweeter than I prefer, and the cuts and sizes of the fish were kind of inconsistent. The space itself is very small with only a few tables, and even picking up my order felt a bit tight, so it's definitely more of a takeout spot than somewhere you'd sit and eat.

    Truffle Harmony
    Stephanie Q.

    Ordered Fish in The Box on DoorDash and wow! I'd give the food a solid 5/5! It's a great spot to order to-go especially if you're craving good quality sushi without compromising the quality of fresh fish. The strawberry matcha is some of the best I've tried in the city. Reminded me of matcha from Japan. Pricy at $8.95 (DoorDash) but if you feel like splurging, I think it's worth the money. Salmon Zuke box: This was probably my fave thing along with the Toro Toro Roll! Both are chefs kiss. You just have to try and then you'll understand :) Alani Roll: I would get this again. Seared Salmon and fried shallots on top? Say less! Great contrast; you get the buttery softness of the salmon with the shallots - yum. Truffle Harmony: This was good as well. Not sure if I'd go out of my way and order this one again since I'd want to try other items on the menu for next time. Overall great quality and fresh sushi! Definitely worth the money.

    Did Fish in the Box remove the chicken katsu curry and all sushi burritos from the menu? These were my two most ordered items.

    They did removed the chicken katsu curry. However, they didn't completely remove sushi burritos, it's just appeared to be a different form. Now they cut them into 8 pieces and renamed name them as "futomaki"

    Did this place used to be called amitis? If so, any reason for the name change that can given? Just curious.

    Hello tomo san. Yes we did change our store name. We also add some new items to the menu. The new name is more relevant to the menu. We are still under same ownership and we still serving most of the item that we used to serve. Thank you for asking

    Indoor dining available?

    Yes, indoor dining is available. And check in on yelp will get a free passion fruit green tea :)

What we ordered: + San Ten Mori (assorted sashimi) [4/5]: The highlight of our meal was the yuzu wasabi that came with the salmon + amberjack in this set. It was sooo delicious and spicy. The fish were plated beautifully, and the quality was pretty good. + Shungiku Kama Sarada (chrysanthemum greens & duck breast) [6/5 - would recommend]: WOW. I was so pleasantly surprised by how fresh, crunchy, and acidic this salad was. The greens are amazing. On top of that, the duck breast was so tender and delicious-- I just wish the dish came with a few more slices. + Chicken Oyster [4/5]: I really loved how juicy this was. I normally don't like chicken because of how dry it is, but this was a great skewer. I wish the skin was a little less burnt. The chicken was also so thick that while the outside was juicy, the inside was a little drier. + King Trumpet [4/5]: Wow! These looked amazing when they arrived. I thought the flavor was great but the texture was a bit rubbery. + Kama Tama Udon (carbonara) [4.5/5]: Delicious! I couldn't stop eating this udon slathered in amazing thick sauce. + Chiizu Tori Katsu [4/5]: This was sooo good. I wish the cheese ratio was 3x as much, but the flavor and tenderness of the katsu is delicious. Huge props to Rintaro; my Resy reservation was initially cancelled due to an accident in booking, but the staff was so friendly and went above & beyond to help me get my reservation reinstated at a similar time.

The smells are incredible from smokey fish as they sear the final touches with a blow torch, to the sizzling goodness from the yakitori grill. It's such a fun place, and the freshness (especially the fish flown in from Japan) is unbelievable. The service was pretty good. Our waiter was a bit forgetful, but it could be because he had a packed bar of guests. We had an incredible experience, and will be back again!

We opted for the AYCE menu, which came out to around $50 per person. - Sashimi -- pieces were on the smaller side and a little watery - Sashimi Salad -- fresh spring greens topped with larger sashimi cuts; a refreshing starter - Gyoza -- larger than typical gyoza, almost like mandu; crispy exterior with juicy filling - Poke Chip -- avocado could've been fresher, but still a nice crisp and creamy combo - Lion King Roll -- my favorite item of the night; seared salmon, avocado, and imitation crab. Wish it had a bit more torching and cheese, but still delicious - Rainbow Roll -- smaller-sized roll topped with salmon, tuna, shrimp, and avocado - Dragon Roll -- classic unagi and avocado combo; can't go wrong here - Double Salmon Roll -- salmon both inside and on top with a light lemon garnish - Heaven Roll -- tuna-heavy roll inside and out; great for tuna lovers - Bay Bridge Roll -- another standout; tuna and avocado topped with roe and white sauce - Miso Soup -- simple and comforting - Salmon Avocado Roll -- classic fresh combo with cucumber added for crunch - Nigiri (seared salmon, unagi, baby scallop, salmon avocado) -- probably the best quality items overall; loved the fatty scallop and seared salmon - Mixed Greens Salad -- underrated side with a sesame-ranch style dressing - Yammy Yammy Roll -- spicy tuna and seared tuna topped with spicy mayo and unagi sauce - Hamachi Kama -- thinner cut than expected but still buttery and tender There was no wait on a Friday night and our party was seated immediately. The restaurant has tables in both the front dining area and a quieter back section that feels more private. You order through a tablet attached to the table, which also tracks your remaining AYCE time. Service was extremely efficient and dishes came out surprisingly fast. Some items stood out more than others, but overall we definitely got our money's worth. For around $50 including tax and tip, it's a pretty reasonable AYCE sushi option in SF.

Immediately, the ambiance and service was quite nice. We were seated at the table, but typically I enjoy sitting at the bar to watch the chefs make our food. The service was amazing and they were very attentive. They also offered to take photos and gave us a little gift of hojicha tea since we were celebrating.

This is definitely a lot of food, I would recommend the petite omakase in the future as I was stuffed, but it was a great experience if you come hungry! Courses: - Chawan-mushi - super tasty and every bite was delicious and umami forward! - Otsumami - 7 seasonal appetizers presented in a beautiful box, there was a stuffed crab claw in there that was delicious - 4 kinds of sushi - each piece came out one at a time, the first piece was my absolute favorite and blew me away, it was a seared chutoro that immediately melts in your mouth and tastes smokey - Hamachi soup - very tasty and warming soup with hamachi inside, was perfect in between the sushi course - 4 kinds of sushi - A5 Waguyu shabu - this course was extra $10 pp but was so delicious, the wagyu was melt in your mouth and had some grated daikon on top in a ponzu dashi, the toppings help balance the meat so it's overwhelming since it does melt in your mouth, one of my favorite bites! - 4 kind of sushi - they brought out some really great sushis, including more chutoro and an unagi handroll, but I was so stuffed at this point that I felt I couldn't enjoy it as much - miso soup - this soup was so tasty and kind of revived me after all that food, it felt comforting and a great way to end - dessert- I got the hojicha ice cream in a waffle like cookie and it was delicious!
