    two men preparing food in a kitchen
    James K.

    This place has a fascinating vibe to me. They have rotating sushi chefs for the omakase experience, which is whet my friend and I did. There's also a way to just book for the listening lounge experience with access to some cocktails. For the meal, we ended up doing a sake pairing. There was a chirashi add on, which we did as well. Not cheap but it was a night of decadent splurge. For me, the aesthetics of the place was my favorite. The sushi meal was at this small counter but in a larger industrial converted space. There's a small seating area while we waited, and we passed by a long table that looks like would be great for a tea ceremony. There's also the lounge areas I mentioned that has projections, an inside-outside, and various types of chairs. The bathroom was a bit different too. It was all open and not much walls, but you could tell the different ambiance within the floor.

    Loved my experience at ODETOKYO! Highly recommend. One of my favorite new Japanese spots in the city. Note: Recommend parking on 6th St as there is limited parking on Tehama and they are strict about 1 hr parking--you may get a ticket. It's a non-descript location and you'll need to ring the doorbell when you arrive. I loved the people (Larisa is amazing; pre-visit and attentive as needed during dinner), the sushi is fresh, delicious, and carefully prepared by a rotating cast of top-tier sushi chefs from other iconic establishments in the city, the music is great, and they have a mixologist on-site if you want more than sake. Or zero-proof/NA beverages! Vibe is chill and you can have a social experience at the community table, interact with the sushi chefs, or an intimate experience in one of their many corners. They offer 2 dining experiences: a la carte + sake and a 16-course omakase (6p & 8:30p). Their chirashi bowls and sashimi are and reasonably priced for the city. I can't wait to come back for the full omakase. My only wish is for them to be open MORE NIGHTS so I can come all the time :)

    After a cancelled reservation, we finally got to try this omakase. It was intimate and private. The area was a little sketchy as I was waiting for my friend so someone from the restaurant came to get me outside. He also waited till our Ubers arrived when we were ready to leave. Because the restaurant cancelled our previous reservation they comped me and my friend drinks all throughout the experience. The fish was fresh and the chef knew where it was coming from. If you enjoy high quality fish and willing to splurge a bit, I definitely recommend.

    The Epicure Omakase experience was amazing. Ambiance was great and the omakase was delicious. The staff was also very attentive and made the meal and the concept of the restaurant a great experience.

    Amazing atmosphere and fun and friendly service. Very welcoming environment and relaxed. The food is top-notch. It's like a symphony. The drinks are well-crafted. Lumited selection but well curated to match with the dishes.

Elevator is on the other corner of the center, so you do have to go a little around to get there if you need an elevator. Not too bad though. Small restaurant. Most of their tables are great for a group of 4 but I'm guessing they could just push together tables if your group is a little larger. Service was good. All our dishes were great. The sushi wraps were good but they can be a bit messy. 2 sushi wraps, 1 ramen, 1 sushi roll, seaweed salad, 2 sodas, came out to about $90. We'll be back to try more.

We were seated pretty quickly on a Sunday evening, and there were a couple of other parties there. They had a sign advertising a special where you can order two items from a list and it comes with soup, salad, and rice, but we ended up just splitting two house special rolls - the Salmon Mango roll and Rock N Roll roll (tuna, avocado, spicy mayo). Both were delicious. I particularly liked the Salmon Mango roll - it was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The rolls came with 8 pieces each and each piece was a good size, so it was plenty for two of us. I also got a Sapporo beer (bottle) to sip on. Overall, good experience - quick, efficient service and satisfying meal.

From the moment we sat down, the sushi train immediately caught everyone's attention. Once we submit our order in the iPad, the bullet style train brought the food to our table. It made the whole meal feel interactive and exciting, especially for a family night out. The robot food server was also a huge hit at our table. It added a fun, modern touch and definitely made the experience memorable. It's not every day your food is delivered by a robot and train. It brought a lot of smiles and conversation to the table. On top of the entertainment, the food itself was fresh and delicious. There was a great variety of sushi to choose from, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. I think the combination of good food, unique service, and a lively atmosphere made this a standout dining experience. If you're looking for a place that's both fun and tasty especially with family, Hikari Sushi & Bar is definitely worth a visit!

The pure novelty already sold me on this place, you tap a screen to order, then it's delivered on an electronic conveyor belt. Loved the miso soup. The rice in the nigiri was so good. I'd recommend the double spicy salmon, it was a little expensive but worth it. The flavor stayed in my mouth for so long after.

I think expectations are usually low when going to these types of spots but given the quality and price, it's actually pretty surprising. I usually stop by for dinner on weeknights. It can get busy sometimes but I've never waited more than 10-15 minutes. Service is quick and friendly. The goal is to get you seated and taken care of right away. Once you sit down, it's game on. Chefs are busting out all different kinds of dishes for you to try. They also take requests if there's something on the menu you'd like to try. I love not having to commit to a roll and being able to try a ton of different things. Admittedly, I keep coming back for the seared walu. The plate color lets you know the price of what you're getting. Most plates come with 2-4 pieces and run from $3 - $8. I can make this dinner as cheap or expensive as I'd like!

Sushi circles around on a conveyor belt, and some of it has clearly been riding for a while. There are also packaged, grocery-style items on the belt like cake and uni. That said, it's good and possibly fresh, and the chefs are clearly working hard. It's not creative or romantic--it is what it is. We had several solid items, left full, and that was the goal after seeing a movie. It was pretty quick, too.

    Actual rating: 4.5 stars…read more Definitely recommend making reservations as there are only eight seats available. It kind of makes me feel like I'm in a station since it's a counter space is right out in the open in a corner amongst all the cute little boutique shops and dessert places between Peace Plaza and the indoor bridge. $120 for the sixteen-item omakase set when we went back in February 2025. Courteous, polite service. They provided a wet towelette for us to wipe our fingers and instructed us to eat each sushi piece in one bite. The temperature of the fish was not too warm and not too cold. I loved the variety of sashimi offered, especially the charred ones! Out of all the dishes, the smoked trout with the egg yolk and the Hokkaido scallop stood out. Only dish I wasn't too crazy about was the squid and pickled lotus root/eggplant, which was shocking to me since I normally love all those things! The texture of the pickled lotus was starchy. Aside from that, we enjoyed our omakase experience at Oma San Francisco Station and would definitely recommend!

We were able to snag seats right away. We ordered the Tsubame set, and it was a great experience from start to finish. It began with a cabbage salad topped with mentaiko dressing, snow crab, and a firefly squid--such a unique and flavorful opener. The first round of nigiri included iwana, miyabi tai, inada, and kanpachi, all incredibly fresh and well-balanced. Then came sashimi with three slices of umi masu, followed by another round of nigiri: itoyoridai, kurodai, hirame, and a rich, melt-in-your-mouth otoro. YUMMM Next was a standout chef's dish--grilled miso black cod--perfectly cooked and deeply flavorful. We also added Hokkaido uni and hotate as extras, which I'm having mixed feelings. Dessert wrapped things up nicely with green tea ice cream, a slice of strawberry, and a flaky cookie. Everything was so, so good. We'll definitely be back to try their other tiers.
