    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!

    Omakase

    Had a great experience at Rocket Sushi! The omakase dish was buttery, flavorful, and delicious. The portions were generous, and the food being sent over on a little rocket was such a fun touch that made the meal even more memorable. Everything was fresh and well-presented. Definitely would come back!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bad and so so so so so slow service for the pick up driver so so so so so so so so so so so slow

    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.

    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!

    Pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon, not sure if the sf marathon had anything to do with it. Looks super popular with delivery apps as they have a row of tables dedicated for togo orders. Really good service, super attentive whether you're looking for the restroom or need more water. Huge portions of fish on the nigiri and even on special the special rolls. Quality is expected and not the greatest but that's the trade off for portion size. Really fishy taste in my mouth afterwards was kinda gross lol.

    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.

The line was twice as long at 830pm, so would recommend coming earlier. Service was very quick, food came in less than 10 minutes. I really enjoyed the TKO Ramen as compared to the Classic Toripaitan it was more unique and flavorful. If you want something you can only get here, I'd go for the more unique options like TKO. For the TKO, they really packed it with garlic and the fried carrots paired very well. The Classic Toripaitan was delicious, but more similar to Ramen you get elsewhere. Love the chewy noodle. Portions are on the smaller side. Given the small restaurant, would recommend coming here as a smaller group. Parking is pretty easy since there's usually street parking around the block.

The place itself is small so expect to be sitting next to someone. They do have plastic dividers on the table to separate parties though. I had the vegan GKO and was surprised by how creamy the broth was, especially for a vegan ramen. The vegan fried chicken was a creative twist, too. It looks like regular chicken karaage on the outside, but it's actually made with mushrooms! Tip: arrive about 20 minutes before opening for a better chance of getting seated when the doors open and avoiding a longer wait.

    Alright Yelp friends and others, strap in for this. I really don't leave reviews but I've been here…read moreseveral times and feel compelled to share about my experiences eating here. For some background I actually lived in Tokyo and also have worked in restaurants for a few years ranging from your favorite Mexican joint to high end dining, so I know a little about ramen and service. I understand ramen is completely based on your own palate and opinions so I will try not to yuck anyone's yum here. That said this pace is extraordinary. The service is always 10/10 and impeccable. I'm consistently left speechless by the amount the staff knows about the menu and their different offerings. They are so efficient and wonderful. Do you want to be in an out!? Too easy for these pros! They will have you checked in, fed, and happy within 30 minutes of walking through their door. Want a sit down for a nice date night? Easy! They will talk you through menu options, what food goes well with what beverage you want or whatever your palate desires and will not rush you. I cannot emphasize this enough, the service is incredible. Now for the food... AMAZING. 10/10. I have never left here wanting for more... trust me that happens to me as a big guy lol. Their chicken paitan soy sauce ramen has become probably my favorite ramen I have ever had. Nothing out of that kitchen has ever disappointed me The prices are a bit expensive and it may not be for every week or everybody. It's around 25$ just for the ramen and is a special occasion and treat for me. I really do wish I could eat here more often So all in all, if you're looking for a good ramen place with amazing service and food, please check out Nojo. I love them so much and am looking forward to continuing eating here and enjoying all their amazing work.

We were a group of 5 (4 adults and 1 child) and needed a place to unwind and eat at after a long day at Pokémon Worlds XP. After standing and walking around all day, we were relieved to find something nearby and the wait didn't seem too long. We put our name on the waiting list and the server called our name to be seated so we went and sat down. During this time our friend had gone to move his car but they never mentioned that our entire party had to be present to be seated. We proceeded in ordering for 5 of us and it actually took awhile for anyone to take our order. As we sat waiting, the server who seated us started giving us a hard time about our missing friend. He continuously harassed us and even passive aggressively moved our tables apart stating that he would give our table away if our friend didn't return. We had explained that our food order was already placed and since we were all waiting for our food anyway it shouldn't be a problem. Additionally, he was the one who seated us instead of making us wait for our entire party to arrive to be seated. Eventually, our friend arrived and the server had started to raise his voice in front of everyone including the child in our presence. The manager got involved and helped deescalate the situation but the situation had already left a bad taste in our mouth. There were also some hiccups in our order and apparently certain things ordered weren't even placed. Overall, with so many food options nearby there really isn't a reason to pick a place that doesn't value their customers.

Granted, we came in around 9 PM, about an hour before closing, so we understood that the kitchen was getting toward the end of the night. We ordered a few dishes to share and there were actually some highlights. The scallops: These were great! Easily one of the better dishes we ordered. The karaage chicken: The chicken itself had great flavor, but the creamy sauce on top was extremely rich and ended up overpowering the chicken. I think with less sauce, this could have been a really good dish. Now, the ramen: This is where I was genuinely left speechless. I don't think I've ever had ramen with absolutely no umami. Like, none. It was one of the strangest things I've ever tasted. I was biting into something, there were textures in my mouth, it smelled great... but that was it. No depth. No richness. No umami. The broth, meat, and even the noodles somehow had almost no flavor. The only thing that really came through was the greasy chili oil that lingered on your tongue afterward. After a couple of bites, we looked at each other and decided to leave. At that point, most of the food was still sitting on the table practically untouched. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off night, especially coming in later in the evening. The scallops showed us that there's definitely potential here, but unfortunately, the ramen was such a miss that it overshadowed the rest of the meal for us.
