    Spectacular sushi restaurant. One of the only sushi restaurants in sf with a bib gourmand. Meaning it has good quality and good value! The staff is welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. They have real, properly trained sushi chefs. They have an immense Japanese sake selection-- many of which are unavailable anywhere else in America. The fish quality and variety is impressive. Most of the fish is overnighted from Japanese waters. They also have seasonal fish which I've never tried before.

    Solid spot for sushi, very fresh fish, good ambiance and great service. Price is slightly on the higher end but they do accept Inkind. Here's what we ordered: - edamame - beef sukiyaki (4/5): came with raw egg to dip, slightly on the saltier side but rice helped - 4 omakase hand rolls (5/5): favorite of the night, all 4 were different and incredibly tasty (and beautiful!) - rainbow roll (4/5): for $27 I'd expect something more than artificial crab meat stuffed inside, pretty good otherwise - roppongi roll (4/5): very fresh and unique, light. Went well against the saltier sukiyaki Next time we're back we would order more hand rolls and try some nigiris.

    Signature roll (amazing)

    As a big fan of Omakase next door, Okane is an everyday answer to the same high quality sushi. They cut from the same fish as next door, and have a more budget-friendly chef's counter omakase! It's not a big place inside, and they get very crowded, so I'd avoid going at peak times for more personalized service and to secure a seat. Their signature roll with A5 Wagyu is out of this world, with the right balance of salt and richness, all the small plates and drinks I've tried have been great, and you can never go wrong with a good omakase.

    After a fun coding competition, my daughter was seriously craving sushi. The event food was mini muffins for breakfast and sandwiches for lunch, she needed something way better. Thankfully, my brother (who comes here often) made reservations for us, and it did not disappoint. Service was great from start to finish -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. Here's what we ordered: * Kakuni - So flavorful and the pork was incredibly tender, practically falling apart. One of my favorites of the night. * Tonkatsu - The pork was good but not great. It came with miso soup, which was solid, though we've had better elsewhere. * Hamachi Belly - Very good. Fresh and buttery. * Beni Toro - Also very good. Rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. * Townsend Roll - Good overall, but my daughter wasn't a fan of the shiso leaf on it. * Dragon Roll - Good and nicely balanced. * Kaisen Don - Not sure of the full variety of fish included, but it was pretty good. What stood out most was the rice -- perfectly seasoned and delicious. I found myself finishing the rice even after the sashimi was gone. * Oysters (chef's style) - Topped with uni, quail egg, ponzu, green onion, and caviar. Absolutely amazing. This was a standout. We were also lucky enough to find parking right across the street, which feels rare in SF! Staff was very friendly, service was smooth, and overall it was a great experience. Definitely will be back again.

    Despite the last experience, we decided to give this place a second chance, and it was amazing! The nigiri we ordered were all very high quality, treated with care and delicious. The shrimp nigiri even came with a fried head and that head was amazing, highly recommended! Kakuni was tender and flavorful, udon was also pretty good. They have a wide selection of rolls and they all seem pretty unique. Servers were pretty attentive, atmosphere was casual but cozy. And most importantly....easy parking!! Definitely will be back:)

    Sushi that is part of Omakase. Very fresh and delicious.
    Chang S.

    The sushi and sashimi was fresh and well prepared. The sushi rice and side rice with hot dishes were cooked perfectly. The only dish we did not like is the miso eggplant since it was very salty. Other than that, all other dishes were well executed. Service was attentive and friendly as well.

    Came here for my birthday dinner! Everything was incredible. We talked to the sushi chefs while waiting for our food and they were so happy to answer all our questions. Started with the crispy rice and hamachi crudo, which were sublime. Otoro sashimi was melt in your mouth. Sashimi set was so fresh and buttery. Roppongi was super unique it had no rice and was wrapped in cucumber. Rainbow spider roll was really crunchy and so pretty too. Finished with the saba shioyake (grilled mackerel) which came with miso soup! So happy and so full Service was fast at the beginning then slowed down when it started to get busy. Perfect lighting and loved the traditional modernesque decor of the whole place. Loved being able to watch the sushi chefs in action at the counter.

    Hand rolls (chutoro and eel)
    Naomi W.

    Walking in, I was seated at the bar near the entrance. Further into the restaurant there are a lot more tables for larger parties, but I went for dinner by myself. It was a bit awkward that they handed me a Happy Anniversary card. I had forgotten that I had put down my ex and my anniversary for the day after I came here so... I was a bit confused initially. But I guess they were trying to be nice. The chef's style oysters were delicious! Super fresh oyster with uni and quail egg and caviar and a little bit of a spicy sauce that lingers in the mouth afterwards. The omakase nigiri had select pieces that were quite delicious but 2 pieces I remember thinking, this is kind of chewy or had a bit of tendon on it. I don't care for eel, but the chutoro and eel temaki hand rolls were delicious. I think it's reasonably priced (at least compared to its sister restaurant next door) if you don't feel like spending $300 pp on omakase.

    The food at Okane was very good, the fish was really fresh and came out in a timely manner. The ribeye beef skewers were not good, the meat was tough. The chicken karage was also not very good - it wasn't crispy and didn't have much flavor. The miso black cod was delicious, very flaky and seasoned very well. We ordered 2 types of toro, and a variety of sashimi, and multiple handrolls (also very good.) Service was very attentive, the waiters refilled our waters multiple times. The ambiance felt casual but good. I came here for my birthday and while I was glad to have dined here, I don't believe I would return.

    This place is absolutely mind-blowing... Wow! This review took me a minute to write because I honestly didn't want to gatekeep something this good! If you're visiting San Francisco, this spot is 100% worth the trip! No matter where you're coming from. The service? Next-level. The ambiance.. amazing! Huge shoutout to Uri, Kelly, Robert, and Jeff for making our experience unforgettable!! not once... but TWICE. This place has officially earned a permanent spot on our travel itinerary. If you go (and trust me, you should), do not miss the chef's counter omakase, it's pure magic. And my absolute favorite dish? The hamachi, negi, cucumber, and A5 wagyu topped with caviar and literal SPARKLING GLITTER!!! (Sorry, Marissa... but the secret's out now). Run, don't walk.

    Had a great valentines experience here. We went for the prix fixe menu and every course was delicious. The service was lovely, they were understanding that the traffic caused us to be a little bit late, and they have a cocktail menu which isn't as common in SF at sushi restaurants. It's small but nicely designed inside and feels cosy. The only thing I would have liked would have been if they'd wiped the tables between courses.

    Okane is spectacular. As a Japanese food connoisseur, this place is special. The fish is outstanding, prices are fair, very high fashion, and the service was great. Amazing place to go if you are looking for proper sushi done the right way...

    Leftover shrimp tempura pieces pulled out from our roll
    David H.

    We were here a few years ago and enjoyed it, with the nice decor inside that makes you feel welcomed. We ordered the tempura with shrimp and veggies. My first bite of a fried veggie was crisp and crunchy, very good. When I bit into the shrimp tempura, the shrimp was missing that firmness and texture that I expected, it felt powdery, definitely not shrimp! We brought it to their attention and waitress immediately offered to ask the chef to remake them. She explained that they have changed their shrimp supplier and maybe that's why. Our order of dragon roll also included shrimp tempura, they were the same. We still felt the remade ones were still off, albeit fresh and hot and crunchy on the outside. The friendly waitress gave us a large discount on our check for our troubles, which was greatly appreciated.

    Is Okane aware of what has gluten and what does not on their menu? Many rice vinegars, ponzu and soy sauces have gluten (wheat/barley-based ingredients). Or does the menu denote GF?…

    Is it a vegetarian friendly restaurant?

    You can certainly find something to eat, but it's not particularly vegetarian friendly.

One funny detail was the music - it felt completely random, almost like someone just put their liked songs on shuffle. The mix was all over the place, but honestly it added to the casual, quirky vibe. Service was great, especially considering we had such a large party.

The ribeye wasn't super tender but tasty. The snow crab hand roll came with so much snow crab, I felt like it's one of the few hand rolls I've had that was filling.

Good variety of izakaya choices including chicken thighs, chicken parts, pork belly, scallops, and some beef options. I found the izakaya solid but not outstanding. The skewers are a little too saucy for my taste which I prefer more the traditional simple salt which you find in Japan. Also, I wish they had more charcoal flavor to the izakayas. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken skin gyoza which uses chicken skin as wrappers. It's an interesting twist to your traditional gyozas. The fried oysters were good, juicy, and crunchy. They also have a very good selection of sakes and drinks.
