    They had a great lunch deal. Two rolls and miso soup for 17$. All the prices are great. The server working was nice and welcoming. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. Also ordered a Philly roll on the side. I'll be back to try more items.

    Salmon Roll
    Izzie L.

    This was such an unexpectedly great meal. We came for the 3-5pm "good deal" and ended up staying until the 5-7pm happy hour-- Sake Bomb was just that good. I personally ordered the: + 49er's Roll (5/5) + Salmon Roll (4/5) + Chu-Toro (6/5) + Hamachi (6/5) Oh my gosh, this place has the most amazing HH nigiris. They seemed pricey at first, but once they arrived and we tried them, all 6 of us ordered another round of nigiris. These are OMAKASE-level bites! The chu-toro and hamachi nigiris were some of the most umami, tender, and well-balanced ones I've ever had. The official rolls were so reasonable for the price of around $20 each. They all looked delicious and come with a good-sized portion, enough to supplement a full meal. Service was amazing!! Our waitress taught us how to do the sake bomb game with our drinks. It was a great meal and a great experience. I will 100% be back here again!

    Teriyaki chicken and tempura bento box.

    Had some nice hot sake to warm up after the cold afternoon. Ordered the chicken teriyaki which was sweet and salty, tempura was good and then also had some unagi nigiri. A lot of food for a good price and best of all, very close by so didn't have to walk too far in the cold.

    This place is phenomenal! My friend is coming back and wanted to try sushi. The worst thing about this place was finding space to park. Out of all the rolls we bought the Sake Bomb roll was the best! Service was quick and attentive and provided a good experience.

    Fish bone on top right of plate.

    Ordered a dozen of oysters and a specifically asked if the oysters were raw and plain, the waitress said yes. When the oysters came out, there was a sauce in it and I said I thought it was supposed to be plain and she said oh it comes with a sauce, but it's really good. Then I ordered unagi and it had two or more bones. I took a picture of the last two. Smh they removed the oyster and unagi nigiri and the waitress came back and told me she will have to pay for it out of her pocket. How rude and disappointing having to be told this when you are trying to verbally make your point about the service.

    This is my new favorite sushi restaurant in the bay area. Sake Bomb is a smaller sushi restaurant in Mission but the fish is fresh, the prices are good and the service is great. I stopped by Sake Bomb for dinner and I really enjoyed my experience. I made an online reservation but we were able to be seated early, about 20 minutes. Ended up sitting at the bar but the chairs are comfortable and you get to watch the dishes get prepared. I ordered the chef's choice nigiri, seaweed salad, and of course sake and beer. My favorite nigiri piece was the chu-toro, melt in your mouth fatty tuna. The rest of the nigiri was also very good. I think it's an under rated aspect of sushi but the rice they prepare was delicious. The nigiri platter came with a fried shrimp head that was pretty good. Also forget that a spicy tuna roll was ordered and it was one of the best spicy tuna rolls I've ever had. The server recommended the Dassai 45 sake and it paired well with the food. The service was great, attentive and a good sense of humor. Overall a great experience while being a great price in comparison to a lot of the popular omakase sushi restaurants in SF. There are daily happy hour sushi specials that I would love to take advantage of if I lived closer to the city. Worth it, worth it, worth it!

    Volcano Roll
    Florence K.

    Came here for a Monday night dinner and made a reservation. This is one of the few places in SF that opens late. It can get popular so recommend getting a reservation! We got the volcano roll to share and I got the salmon don. The volcano roll was massive and definitely tasted unique but I wouldn't get it again. Salmon don was good and fish were fresh. It also came with miso soup. They seem to have a good happy hour menu so I would come back for the happy hour menu. Service isn't as attentive but that's because they are very busy!

    We used to love this place and splurge 3-4x a year here. Overall was happy with quality and service (although watch out - almost every visit, they left out part of our order, but still billed for it. Take pictures of items received.) However, after our last visit we were really disappointed. They're starting to skimp on portions while increasing prices. From the photos, though I ordered less pieces in December, the pieces I got were much smaller than before. The bathroom was also pretty dirty this time and despite requesting booth seating in advance (and it was available), they had us sit at a tiny table (yet allowed parties of the same size to go to the booths after us).

    Salmon Lover Roll
    Diana G.

    Yummy sushi! I stopped by with friends to try while we were walking around the area and I was so happy that this ended up being delicious! The highlight was the Salmon Lover Roll. The fish was so fresh and the roll was very well balanced. It paired nicely with a small amount of soy sauce. The wait staff was helpful and made recommendations for the group. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was cozy, and it has a good layout that separates table areas. Overall: Great place with fresh fish to stop for a meal and I would come back again!

    Aiza C.

    Good sushi, decently priced. Came for their happy hour! Great service! About 5 tables, usually there is no wait. their salmon is probably their best nigiri. The shrimp tempura roll was ok, the spicy salmon was very good.

    Chicken karage, salmon lover
    Angelica S.

    Came here for happy hour on a Friday. Can't beat $1.50 oysters. They were a great size and the sauce was very flavorful. We ordered a second dozen after finishing the first. Happy hour is worth it for the oysters alone! We also got a sake, salmon lover roll, spicy tuna handroll, spicy salmon handroll, and chicken karage. The staff was so friendly and the service was great. They were very attentive and refilled our sake glasses when they were low. When they saw we were celebrating something, they took our Polaroid and added it to their wall. So cute! Great happy hour spot.

    Side salad! Good deal

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.
