Very dry tough katsu. Came with crinkle cut jar pickles.
Sara H.

Was so excited to try this place when I saw the super high ratings on yelp. I also was curious about their katsu which is slow-cooked for 7 hours! When you walk in, the restaurant looks cute and there's a sign saying that if you show that you left a yelp review, you get a free hot sake... a sign to be wary of possible rating inflation but I was hoping this would not be the case. Y'all... the katsu was soooo tough & dry. I thought it was going to be tender. I was so sad :( I should have read the other yelp reviews because other people have mentioned this. It also comes with crinkle cut jar pickles on the side and a sweet gravy poured over the top which made the outside of the katsu soggy.

Cheese Tonkatsu
Rochelle S.

Really really good! My friend and I both got the cheese tonkatsu, so I can't only speak to that, but it was super good! It was a large portion, and it also came with miso soup, salad, and rice, so pretty good for the price. Some reviews from last year mentioned it being dry, but it was not for us! Mine was super moist, even after reheating my leftovers today. We also got hot sake and some Asahi beer. Service was great, and even though there was only one server for the entire place, he checked on us often. Ambiance is good, with nice windows looking out into the Japantown plaza.

Menu
Madison B.

Ambiance: Gandhi is a new katsu restaurant serving various options with some traditional and some new takes on katsu. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and music that isn't too loud to allow for talking to your friends / family without yelling. Service: The waitress was extremely friendly and provided good service throughout our time there with intermittent check ins and quick to bring out food and refills drinks. Wait time: Hardly any wait time in the afternoon as the restaurant is currently in its soft opening until July 1st. Food: While the katsu was slightly expensive compared to other restaurants, the serving size more than made up for the cost easily filling you up while leaving some leftovers to take home. The rice was slightly dry but the katsu was very well flavored and the garnish served on the side also tasted good though nothing super special. Miso soup had a good flavor and a decent serving as well. Overall, a really tasty katsu place in Japantown for both the size and quality of the food. Definitely would recommend checking out the restaurant if you are looking for good katsu in the area.

Have dairy allergy and this place is a safe place Teriyaki chicken or salmon will take your taste buds for a ride!!!!

Mushroom Tempura
Erika C.

Food was mid, but it's their service that really earns their 2 stars. Pretty surprised at their 4.6 star rating, but on the other hand they have a sign that says they give free sake for Yelp reviews, and it makes sense. The tempura mushroom app was okay. The omakase don was mostly okay, smaller than expected for $33. The cuts were really jagged on the sashimi. The rice that the fish is on is hot, which I'm neutral on either way - hot vs room temp rice for sashimi. But It was weird that they served deli pickles with the omakase don. Yes, like crinkle cut jar pickles. Why? And lastly there was a scale on one of the slices of fish. The Miyagi oysters for $3 each was decent but I think would've been better without their accoutrements, just straight lemon wedge. Ganji katsu - I don't understand drenching crispy katsu in a sauce. Menu doesn't say anything about that, just that it'd have truffle salt, which I couldn't taste. Some cuts of the pork were okay. Overall, based on food, 2.5/3 stars. Service was 1 star. We asked to keep a menu and they sighed. Rushed us on ordering then implied we didn't order enough. The food took longer than expected time to come (including the raw omakase don) considering the capacity was 25% until after our food came. About halfway through our meal, the space filled up. So then they gave us the check before we asked for it. Didn't really sit well with me that they took their time and we were being rushed. Btw, we were there for only like an hour since we needed to leave at 1pm and be somewhere. Their opening time is 12pm. Also, our group was there celebrating a birthday so I asked if it would be okay to cut cake there. E.g. some places have a cake fee. The server went to check with someone (manager?) and came back to let us know that it was fine but we couldn't use their plates. This was odd - I haven't experienced this before - but that worked for us bc the bakery we got the cake from included plates and forks with the order. We were missing a light for the candle though. I asked if they had a lighter or match. The server was very curt with saying "No." Our whole group noticed this as well as all the prior passive aggressiveness. I ended up going outside to the front of the restaurant, where the grill staff were cooking and serving other food. The outdoor staff helped me light a candle with a torch. With a smile btw. Maybe the inside staff need a little Vitamin D. Overall a downer experience for what should have been celebratory. Would not come back.

The inside of the crab. Tasted rotten and made me so sad.
Meghan B.

I didn't want to lower my score for Ganji because we've been here so many times since they opened and have always had great food and service. Yesterday my mom and I were in the city and were so looking forward to the crab katsu.. unfortunately it was one of the worst meals I've had in sf ever. I think it was a one off and I also don't think it was 100% the restaurants fault, but my crab made me gag to the point I couldn't eat it. I won't send food back and I do acknowledge that I didn't give them the opportunity to "fix" it, but I had already lost my appetite after trying to take two bites and not being able to even keep it in my mouth. So we paid and thanked our lovely server and left. I'm not sure if it's because it's off season or if it was just rotten, but I eat seafood extremely often and I have never met a crab that I couldn't eat. I won't write Ganji off completely but I certainly will never order the crab katsu again.

Cheese Tonkatsu & Wakame Salad
Rudy H.

A Thai operated, affordable, nice service, cozy ambiance and open all day. This restaurant has many potential. However the pork tonkatsu I had was super dry, the meat, the breading, the cheese on the tonkatsu was just "not working" for me. (I knew we could just order without the cheese, but if it's on the menu at least it worth a try) I also ordered side of wakame salad (seaweed salad). It was too gloppy and fishy. I know I have such a high standard, it's really hard for me to eat tonkatsu at any other tonkatsu restaurants anywhere now without measuring than at Tonkatsu Tamafuji and Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin which are both in Honolulu. Can't be measure, but hey at least it's open all day

Fish Katsu
Humza I.

Hey munchkins how's it going. I'm feeling really good for no particular reason but I find myself enveloped in a loving radiation of graditude. What great way to end the day other than going to Ganji with "The Enabler," "La Tacqueria Royalty" and other people from that friend group. We got the chicken teriyaki, the fish katsu, and the chicken teriyaki. There was good variety, veggies, rice, and chicken. The atmosphere was great and the hosts were very friendly. I can't wait to come back again.

Great Japanese spot with hearty food and a wide selection of sake. Ganji gets 4 stars for SAFAV: Service Ambiance Food Alcohol (-) Value for money: it is a little pricy, with mains at $30+ and apps $15+

Cheese Chicken Katsu
Isaiah V.

The katsu is amazing and very flavorful . The miso soup is very delightful to drink . The service was a 10/10 by itself . The ambience is very traditional and authentic . Definitely recommend this place .

Jovilei G.

Service was great. Food was amazing! I ordered a special katsu that I believe is there for a limited time. I don't specifically remember what it was called, but it had a sauce and mozzarella cheese. It almost tasted like a smothered hamburg steak and came with pickles as well as radishes. My bf got the katsu with black bean sauce and it was good, but we both preferred the dish I chose. The food was a little pricey but it was a big portion so we thought it was worth it.

Miyagi Oysters
Lindsey T.

Really enjoyed the Katsu here! We made a reservation for a Birthday and when we came in the table setup didn't seem ready, but it was super empty so it didn't end up being a big deal. The ambiance is really chill and casual and it is pretty quiet. We ordered the miyagi oysters, the ganji lychee cocktail, and the gancheese katsu. I really enjoyed the garnishing on the oysters! The cocktail was okay - the amount of alcohol was fairly generous. The Katsu was really good and the portion is massive - one serving literally lasted me 3 meals! We would definitely come back for some more Katsu!

Agedashi Tofu
Toni L.

Took my teenage nephews here for a lunch date and they really love the katsu. We were here for an early lunch so we got seated right the way but it did get filled up soon after. The service was fast and friendly. I think it's a decent place for a quick lunch not an elevated meal but good enough.

Tadaima is a small matcha and Japanese Sando + snacks shop in the Mission District. The menu has a…read morewide variety of matcha base latte with adjustable sweetness, foam toppings, and other Japanese inspired drinks. Ambiance: A small clean store with a small high top area, another high top table outside, and a bench to sit outside while enjoying your matcha and food. Service: Food / drinks ordered via a worker at the front with a menu to the left to see options available. Staff were friendly and helpful during interaction. Wait time: Not an extremely long wait between ordering and receiving food and drink. A buzzer is given to you which rings when your food is completed. Food: The yuzu salmon onigiri had a decent serving of salmon inside and on top of the rice. Good salmon flavor but slightly lacking in yuzu flavor. Chicken Curry onigiri: a mild curry flavor which again had a decent rice to chicken ratio. The chicken did taste slightly dry despite the curry sauce likely due to the nature of being a ground meat. Matcha Latte c Pistachio Cream was easily one of the best tasting matcha drinks I have had in SF. The matcha had a strong flavor and the pistachio cream did not overpower the taste of the matcha. There was a nice sweet, slightly salty, and pistachio flavor from the cream and the addition of the crushed pistachios was not a weird texture for the drink. I would definitely be interested in trying more of their matcha beverages due to quality and size of drink compared to cost.

Small space, consistent flow of customers, and busy workers fulfilling in-store and online orders. Had myself the Matcha Latte with Strawberry Cream. Not a huge matcha fan but I appreciate the smoothness in this drink. Not as earthy as other matcha drinks I've had. The strawberry cream for me elevated the drink. I tried their Katsu with pineapple sando. Katsu could've been more crispier and warm. Sure it tasted okay but it's a messy one to eat. With each bite the ingredients fell out. Making it challenging to eat. Thankfully I snagged the only high top table inside the shop. Hopefully I didn't look like a fool trying to eat it haha I doubt I'd order it again. Also ordered two onigiris: salmon and chicken curry. There was a bit of a wait for this order. Not sure why. My favorites out of the items I ordered. Both had a generous amount of filling and the rice ratio imo was just right. The salmon was just right, not fishy nor full of sauce. The chicken curry had a subtle curry flavor. I appreciated how warm it was. I didn't care to ask but I wish they had hot sauce available. Overall, decent spot for a matcha drink and a snack. Don't expect to eat there unless you want to wait around. The workers are so busy, that it took away the welcoming customer service one would expect (I know it ain't Starbucks but a smile would've been nice).

Our friends got drinks including the Noguchii which had A5 Wagyu Washed Japanese Whiskey and Hinoki Wood Smoke -- when they unveiled the drink, the smoke flavor was so strong we could smell it from across the table and it was so good. Fav dish was the Shoji Burger followed by the Tebasaki. Our party of 4 were seated in a booth at the end of the room where it had dark/moody lighting. We liked that the menu was small so we could order most of it. Our server was like "you guys have the longest food ticket" and they had to keep clearing dishes and making room on the table for us LOL. The water glasses were tiny and even though the servers were great about refilling them often, I had to refill myself a bunch because each sip was half the glass hahah. Recommend getting a reservation for dinner otherwise you can try to walk-in right at opening. What we got: - Ceviche: solid, mild spicy - Uni Amaebi Donburi: high quality but expensive for what you get - Tebasaki: fried chicken wings SO GOOD, loved the seasoning - Pork jowl: solid even when we're not as into fatty meat - French fries: too cheesy/saucy lol - Tori Nanban Sando: good quality chicken, tasty - Shoji Burger: our fav!

Decor is minimal. Menus are scanned using the QR code at the table. Service is excellent! We were approached/reminded that our reservation was for 1.5 hours but the party after us wasn't arriving until later so we can extend our stay for another half hour. That was very nice of them to let us know. We started with cocktails. Beautiful glassware. They may look delicate but these drinks are strong! Very delicious though. We ordered: KABOSU - like an elevated spicy clarified margarita with Thai flavors. Not too spicy. It just adds a kick. This cocktail paired well with what we ordered for dinner. KOHAKU - like a matcha whiskey cocktail SHOJI MARTINI - dry and made with Japanese gin For dinner, we ordered: FRENCH FRIES with Akazu aged vinegar aioli, tobiko - the fries were dusted with Thai seasoning which were flavorful eaten as is but when dipped in the aioli, whoa!!! The tobiko added the right amount of balance to the tang of the aioli. Next level!! OYSTER - the dressing was good. A little on the sweet side. PORK JOWL - tender and so flavorful. I wish it came with rice. The pear and pineapple kimchi was the perfect side. CEVICHE - fish was fresh and the flavors were well-balanced. Loved the giant pieces of nori rice crackers. SHOJI BURGER - this was a nice show at the table. The fondue cheese was yummy. The burger was well-seasoned. Good for sharing. For dessert, we had: HOJICHA AFFOGATO - Beautiful, delicate and delicious dessert that was fun to watch prepared at our table. Lovely experience. Thank you for the great service. The staff was kind and professional. Well done.

We walked into a refined but welcoming space where the sushi counter is the main focus, and the meal unfolds course by course in front of us. There is a sense of calm throughout the room, allowing the attention to stay on the chefs, the ingredients, and the details behind each dish without the distraction of a busy dining room. The omakase experience balances traditional sushi with more creative touches. Each course brings something different, from fresh sashimi and nigiri to warmer dishes like chawan mushi that add depth to the progression of the meal. The sushi highlights the quality of the fish while incorporating thoughtful flavor combinations, with dishes like scallop and the dry-aged fish courses standing out for their texture and seasoning. The sake pairing fits naturally into the experience, adding another layer without overpowering the food, and the sommelier's selections complement the progression of flavors across the meal. What makes Kusakabe memorable is the craftsmanship and pacing of the meal. The chefs take time to explain each course, making the experience feel personal rather than rushed. Sitting at the counter adds to the atmosphere because you get to see the precision and care that goes into every piece, from the way the rice is formed to the final brush of sauce on the fish. The pacing of the meal allows you to appreciate each course without feeling rushed, and the team's attention to detail creates a rhythm that keeps the meal engaging from start to finish. Kusakabe feels like a place made for special occasions, celebrations, or anyone looking for a more elevated Japanese dining experience. It combines technique, hospitality, and creativity in a way that makes the entire meal feel like an event rather than just a dinner. The balance of traditional and modern elements, along with the warmth of the service, leaves you with the sense of having experienced something complete and thoughtfully composed.
