    Conveyor belt sushi--but with a twist: your order shoots out on a little rocket! I had to check it out, and it was such a fun experience. You seat yourself wherever you like and order everything on an iPad at your table, except for drinks. The service was a bit lukewarm--I sometimes felt like I was inconveniencing the staff when they came by--but honestly, you barely interact with them anyway. It's mostly just you and the rocket system doing its thing. I ordered miso soup, unagi, toro, and a spicy tuna hand roll. Everything was fresh with high-quality cuts, especially the toro. I also got a Shirley Temple, which came with the most perfect fresh cherry--something a lot of places surprisingly skip. All in all, I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back again, whether solo or with a group.

    Nigiri

    Came here to get some sushi as a late lunch. I ordered a coupon of nigiri and a special plate. Firstly, the sushi comes in delivery belt they call Rocket (see photo). I also ordered a soda. Overall, I thought the sushi was fresh. There was no fishy taste. The slices of fish were thick. The place is in the pricier side but because the slices of fish were thicker then I suppose it makes up for it.

    No beef teriyaki on the menu?!?!?!?! How is that possible for a Japanese restaurant? They have chicken, salmon, and used to beef bento boxes. But not anymore. I asked why and server had no clue. Pretty odd. Food was average. Restaurant was clean. Service was slow even though it wasn't busy.

    The sushi is quite delicious here. It always taste fresh to me when I come here. I've been here quite a few times alone and with friends. It's very spacious inside the restaurant. The staff working are very polite and kind. You're usually seated right away and asked what you would like to drink. I know they do a special for $1 sale with a minimum purchase requirement. The sushi is well priced and including the special rolls. You order from a tablet and it comes out on a little rocket near the wall. So fun! The tables can fit like 4 people on each side so bring a group of friends with you!

    Hamachi Sashimi

    Had a good dinner experience here. I made a reservation for Friday night at 7 PM, but it was totally not needed, the restaurant was only half full when we arrived. Servers were all very nice and the ordering process on the touchpad was easy. Food comes out pretty quickly too Fish quality is just average. My hamachi sashimi was cut super super thick so you definitely get a good amount of fish, but not sure if that's a traditional way to cut it. Salmon skin hand roll was nice with really crispy bits of salmon skin and not too much rice, which is a problem I always have with hand rolls Other specialty rolls were all tasty. I would say overall for the price, I expected better quality fish.

    My favorite sushi spot in the Bay Area! Quality and portion size have not changed since I moved to Seattle three years ago. I recently visited and the nigiri cuts are still as massive as ever. Ordering is seamless and there is no wait staff involved. You order through a tablet and the food is delivered via a rocket from the kitchen. Prices are steep compared to other restaurants, but for the amount of thick fish cuts that you are getting it is worth the price. Salmon toro and otoro were my favorite. Every piece of nigiri was perfectly paired. Eating sashimi or nigiri topped with a side portion of the 'real' wasabi is highly recommended!

    This place was FUN! Your food is delivered to the side by the wall on rockets! Super fun. The service was great. Clean restaurant and nice decor. I will say I didn't like the order it. Process. It took a while for us all to pick what we wanted because there wasn't a menu for us to hold individually. That being said everything we got was delicious. I can't remember everything we got but we definitely want to come back.

    The Family Affair roll was incredible. I enjoyed the rockets and it's cute seeing the sushi come out this way. The Nigiri was amazing and fresh. The only roll that was a bit disappointing was the Cherry Blossom roll. It was dry. I've had many cherry blossom rolls and this one ranked lowest. I found tartar sauce with the soft shell crab interesting. It was labeled as a special sauce. It does not seem like a good mix. I love soft shell crab appetizers and typically have had them with a lighter (less heavy) liquid on the side.

    Friendly service and staff, pretty quick if you're in a rush. Came for one omakase. Few bites really stood out, 1-2 less so. Decent spread overall and nice presentation. Lovely rocket touch and atmosphere. Overall fairly fresh fish.

    We went here for a late lunch today! We ordered salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi and dragon roll, miso soups, and the lion king roll! Oh my goodness this sashimi was the most soft and tasty piece I ever had. It was so fresh! I was so hungry we didn't take any photos. Aah The food we ordered on the tablet menu and the order came to our table on a rocket ship revolver. It was so cute because the rocket design said nasa and it was shaped like a rocket. It was a fun experience as well! And ah definitely will come back. My only iffy is the booth seat had a weird friction to sweat pants. So when you're trying to enter and leave while scooting there is some trouble. So keep that in mind. Just for a pov with leg room.

    Very good quality sushi with the fun conveyer belt and tablet ordering. My 7 user old was very entertained and the adults were happy with the selection and taste. Will absolutely return again. Really huge and clean inside, which I didn't expect from outside.

    Spicy Edamame
    Shikha S.

    Loved this place! A variety of Japanese food, prompt service, and great shtick with the rockets. It's always fun to add a moment of play ordering from a tablet and watching your food come down a rocket themed conveyer belt. The decor and spaciousness took me back to Japan for sure! A lil review of our order: Veggie caterpillar roll: Delicious, really fresh and hearty at the same time. Spicy edamame: pretty spicy oil, not too salty, a good start to the meal. Vegetarian Udon: super savory, light broth. Noodles were so chewy in the best way! Tempura roll: Pretty yummy, but maybe a little heavy/greasier. Gyozas (not pictured): perfectly fried, really good. We came in 30 minutes before closing and had 15 minutes to order, but all the food came out so fast, and the staff served us so many refills of food and tea. As two people, we spent about $80 all in, but it was a lovely experience. We were only 2, but the tables are definitely meant for larger parties!

    Yes, we do. Single party /big party/ party with little ones are all welcome here. 😊 Please enjoy your stay here.

    Do you have the omakase on the menu all of the time?

    We have it everyday for sure but with limited quantity. It could be sold out if you don’t see it on menu. Its mainly based on the quality and supply of special fishes for the Omakase.

    Yes! Draft and bottle beer, sake, soju and wine.

    Does this restaurant do birthday celebrations?

    We are writing to express our strong appreciation for the exceptional Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup…read moreand to respectfully request its permanent return to the menu. This dish stands out as one of the most memorable and flavorful offerings we have experienced. The rich, creamy broth delivers a perfectly balanced umami depth, harmoniously combined with subtle heat and aromatic spices that create an indulgent yet refined dining experience. Both my partner and I were thoroughly impressed by its complexity and comforting warmth, and we have continued to crave it long after the winter season. The Umami Creamy Tan-Tan-Men soup represents a true highlight of your culinary repertoire. We believe it deserves a lasting place on the regular menu, where it can be enjoyed year-round by loyal patrons and new guests alike. Its removal has left a noticeable gap, and we are confident that reinstating it as a signature item would be met with great enthusiasm. Thank you for creating such an outstanding dish. We eagerly await its return and look forward to ordering it on our next visit.

    How did SF go from having basically no good ramen options 10 years ago to having all of them,…read moreeverywhere, in multiple styles? While it is somehow still not as concentrated as San Mateo (in terms of ramen shops within walking distance), I do appreciate that there is an abundance of them such that you don't have to desperately line up for 1 hour just for a bowl of soup. Hinodeya is a mainstay at this point. It's likely not even exciting to the locals, and nobody makes a special trip for them. There are multiple locations all over the city, and the Japantown one is one of the nicer locations with outside seating that isn't super crammed. They have a lot of different broth options here, but the shop is mainly known for their dashi (light seafood based) broth, and it is actually quite good with a lot of umami and freshness. Whenever I'm hungry but have no patience, I tend to wander into Hinodeya knowing that the ramen would hit the spot. Is it the best ramen? That's up to you, but it is definitely one of the most available in the city, and much better than the average in this nation.

    Decided to try the Happy hour at this Japanese place and was blown away…read more Its a small place, maybe 8 tables tops squeezed into this narrow space but it was fantastic. Gretted when we entered, we slid into one the few open tables. The decor was charming, and we were quickly gretted by our server with menus and water. My sister and I split some appetizer items so we could try various items, and every single dish was a taste sensation. The gyoza was crisp on the outside while packed with a savory meat, drizzled with sauce. The Karaage was tender chicken encased in a light fried pankostyle casing, also drizzled with a sauce, and the flavor, each bite was satisfying without being too filling. The Kabocha Kor, were panko fried pumpkin patties with a tonkatsu style sauce that brought the taste buds to a more earthier place . The Tokoyaki, were tender fried octopus balls in a sauce that I would have been happy to hunker down with a large bowl of and just crush, easily my favorite bite, which is saying something as no bute was bad . We closed with an order of Hotate, which was a grilled scallop skewer. Somewhere between sea and bay scallops in size, they were an awesome cap to the dining experience. With a this, I washed it down with a peach-weizen beer which was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Every dish was fantastic in flavor, sauces, and texture. On top of all this, the service was excellent, and the happy hour prices very much in reason.

We started off with the Mekyabetsu (Brussels sprouts), Ba-Ra (pork belly), and Kobe (beef). The Brussels sprouts were my fav starter, and the sauce paired so well with it. The Ba-Ra was pretty good, but nothing amazing, and same for the Kobe, which I found to be a bit bland. We also split the Hokkaido Miso ramen. The broth had a great flavor, and the pork chashu was possibly the best I've ever had(!) as it was soooo tender and flavorful, and not very fatty. I did think the cauliflower left room to be desired, and kinda took away from the ramen overall. We finished our meal off with the matcha Panna cotta - this was a great dessert and wasn't too sweet ;) This place definitely seems to be pretty good at a lot of dishes, but not amazing at any single one. The vibe is great, service was great, and prices are a biiiiti steep but not unreasonable.
