    Came at opening on a Monday. Second party to be sat but the restaurant filled up quite quickly within an hour. Casual local eatery. - edamame - cooked well but topped with large flakey salt that was too overpowering - rolls - ordered 5 different rolls. Overall, the rolls were quite solid and a definitely satisfied the sushi craving. A lot of them can be quite foo foo though, with lots of sauce, toppings, etc, but that's all part of the fun. Wasn't planning to experience sashimi/nigiri during this visit. One thing I did notice was that the rice was a bit too wet/mushy. It was all clumped together on the roll so I couldn't experience each individual grain. Staff was friendly. Overall attentive but there appeared to be a call out so they were scrambling. Not their fault and they definitely did their best so kudos to them.

    Came here on a Friday night to get sushi with a friend before going out! I had been here once before with friends, and it's safe to say that this is a good place to go if you're craving fresh, unique sushi and/or drinks! The servers were also great, providing us with recommendations and water as well as warning about the size of the Rainbow Spider roll we got (spoiler: it was quite large). The ambiance is nice and cozy! I like the various decor around the restaurant as well as in the bathroom! Definitely a unique pksce! My friend and I got the Rainbow Spider and salmon avocado rolls ; in addition, we also each got a miso soup (8 oz). I also got the hibiscus ginger margarita and my friend got the chilled vodka martini. The rolls were absolutely delicious, and I love how the rainbow spider is a slightly bigger roll in size to fit the soft shell crab side! The fish was so so so fresh and tasty as well! The miso soup was definitely on the saltier side, but still good nonetheless! The drinks are also pretty strong, but have great taste as well! Overall, I will definitely continue to come back for my sushi fix!

    I got the fire lizard roll and I thought it was really good. I thought that the spicy tuna was made really well and I thought that it paired really well with the fillings of the sushi roll. I also really like the Wakame salad on top, and I thought it was kind of nice to eat it with the sushi and also separately from the sushi. The service was quick and our server was attentive as well. Overall, I mean, very good standard sushi restaurant, would go again of course.

    Good food. Great service. Great Ambiance, and loved their drink menu. Drinks were different but very good

    I went here with a group of around 10 people and we had plenty of space and a great time. I loved the ambiance inside of Moshi Moshi! The staff were very attentive. I had a roll and a drink along with several appetizers, and really enjoyed my non alcoholic cocktail. Definitely recommend a visit.

    Really good manhattan and when it's served by James. We had spider rainbow , unagi, spicy tuna rolls. Great vibes, service and good food. Very inclusive atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. More and more we need to support mom and shop, this is one of them.

    sushi

    When it comes to sushi in San Francisco, nobody does it quite like Moshi Moshi, where they serve both traditional favorites and cool modern creations. The fish is so fresh and the rice so fluffy, sticky, and perfect. They also have some great teriyaki bowls, tonkatsu, and udon! Moshi Moshi has some of the friendliest waiters. They are kind, patient, knowledgable of the menu, and willing to accommodate many special requests. The ambiance is great. It's a nice, quiet restaurant where people like to gather. Everything moves at a slow, relaxing pace. It's decorated nicely and the background music is quiet and calm.

    Moshi Moshi SF is a really good spot! The spicy salmon maki was sooo good -- fresh and flavorful, easily the highlight of the night. The squash tempura was also delicious, light, and crispy without feeling heavy. I do wish the rolls overall were a bit better. We tried the Carmel roll with shrimp tempura, and it didn't really impress me compared to the other dishes. Still, the atmosphere is fun, the service is solid, and there are definitely some gems on the menu. A strong 4 stars from me, and I'd come back again for that spicy salmon and tempura!

    we spent our last meal of 2025 here! it was a rainy night but moshi moshi was so cozy and welcoming inside. the service was great! our server had fantastic recommendations and she really added to the vibe. we got the spider rainbow roll, miso soup, cucumber salad, shishito peppers, sake bomb sushi, salmon kama and a hand roll. everything was delicious! my one critique was that the timing of bringing out the food could have been better. the seemed to bring one thing out at a time. i do understand it was NYE, but it wasn't packed.

    Service was fast and good. Ambiance was good. Loved the hot chicken stock given for palate cleansing ! But the food itself was sub par. Not sure what the big fuss is about . Had the lunch special - tempura bowl had exactly 1 batter fried shrimp and few chunky batter fried vegetables. Bland rice . Couldn't finish . The teriyaki salmon was much better. Had to order additional sushi to fill up after lunch specials.

    One of my go-to spots for Japanese food in SF!! Like this is where I eat dinner after I've had a bad day LOL They have REALLY good bacon-wrapped mochi!! I'd also always get one of their sushi "bombs" and some kind of tempura. The flavor combos are really unique compared to other Japanese spots in the bay. Plus I love the atmosphere here and our servers have always been really sweet!!

    Alaskan Nights
    Alan L.

    The food here was okay but not too spectacular. Though they serve Japanese food, there feels like a lot of American influence and so I don't think it's very authentic. The karaage was probably the best dish as it was very crispy and went well with the sauce. The Alaska Nights roll was alright as the fish wasn't the freshest.

    Tokyo Kara-age
    Connie H.

    We stopped by at this cozy Japanese eatery for dinner on a Saturday night with no reservation. The restaurant is fairly small and was pretty packed but we were able to get seated within 5 minutes. We decided on the Tokyo Karaage, Chicken Katsu Dinner, and the Akasaka nights sushi roll to share. The karaage was reminiscent of a McDonald's chicken nugget more so than traditional karaage, but was still delicious nonetheless. I also quite liked the ginger-soy sauce. The Akasaka nights roll is one of their signature items and was pretty solid overall. The fillings went well together and the fish was decently fresh but not particularly high quality. The chicken katsu dinner took longer to come out and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. The chicken was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor on its own, so I had to drench it in the sauce. The accompanying miso soup and salad were good though. The karaage was definitely the superior chicken dish of the two, and would recommend opting for the dinner version of that instead. Pretty decent spot to grab a meal if you happen to be in area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    Is it all you can eat sushi?

    Nope! Individually priced rolls.

    What time is happy hour?

    As slow as their bartenders are, forget about happy hour. You'll be lucky if you get one drink. Good food, but terrible service. When I go there for a meal, it's worth bringing your own bottle and pay just pay the corkage fee.

    Do they serve any vegetarian/ vegan sushi options?

    Yes, they do!

I was craving a refreshing craft cocktail and got one with the Green Emmanuelle. I liked the cardamom in the Beauty Mark as well that my partner ordered. We ordered shishito peppers and mushroom bahn mi sliders. The mushroom bahn mi sliders were amazing - the quality fillings and taste of the soft bun - I was unexpectedly hit with a bite of spice from maybe jalapeño seeds left but didn't sour my experience. The shishito peppers ended up being extremely spicy as well, those are usually just a few spicy and not the majority. The roasted lemon and salt was a wonderful combo but just too spicy to eat. However, the server very kindly removed it from our bill without us asking. We order the crostini because we were still hungry and that was an absolute hit. Delicious med-soft crostini with luscious berries and sweet honey. I didn't care my hands got sticky as it was soooo good! Great experience, I would be weary if the peppers as I'm a bit spice-intolerant but everything else was spot-on.

I think in many ways, Blind Pig just fell a little flat. I would like to say that the service here was amazing. A bartender who sat with you to talk about the menu, the process, and your experience very passionately and intently.  However, I think that the bar program is a little unrefined. Every drink had 10,000 ingredients, and most of them did not work together. If the drink did work together, you just tasted nothing because everything blended together and you couldn't taste any special or fun ingredients.  Unfortunately, I don't think this spot is worth looking for.

Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service.
