    Came around 8:45pm-9pm for a late dinner after volunteering and there was a lot of seating available (surprisingly it did fill up with families near 9:30-10pm). Lots of nice wood tones and the bar seating allowed enough privacy for diners to eat while not staring directly at the chefs. Ordered the North Beach roll and a vegetable tempura appetizer. The appetizer was crispy, delicious, and a lot of different veggies. The North Beach roll came with a bonus mini tuna roll (one bite) and the roll was just the perfect portion for one person. Service was quick and the servers would check up on you. I did overhear that if you have a table of 5, that they request you make a reservation since they only have one table that can accommodate a group of that size. Overall, food was delicious and came out quick. Spent about $30 on the meal is on par with other sushi places.

    Cute sushi spot right off Little Italy! Was craving something fresh and this did not disappoint! We were seated immediately and service was 5/5 throughout the night. The restaurant closed around 9 but the waiters/waitresses were kind enough to let us stay even past then. There were many rolls to choose from, although most limited was in the salmon roll department. The roll I ordered came with mango and avocado (the mango was a first for me) but I would highly recommend it! Reasonably priced, around $20 for the roll after tax and tip

    Rating: 3.5 stars We came here as a group of 7 on a Saturday night at 6:30 PM. We made a reservation beforehand so we were able to be seated right away even though all of our group was not there yet. The restaurant has a bit of an antiquated appearance but was cozy. We were able to order items off of their happy hour the first half hour we were there. The rolls that came out were ok, very rice heavy and the quality of the items was hit very impressive. A lot of the rolls also had lettuce in it which is an interesting choice. However, they came out very quickly. We got an order of the croquettes which was quite oily and its flavor was light and nice though. Their vegetable tempura had a nice assortment of items but the breading was not the best. I also ordered a nabeyaki udon. The flavor of the broth was great. There was not the best assortment of items in the udon and the egg was topped in an interesting way. Though the food was not the best, their service was amazing. Our server was so bubbly and friendly and really came by to take care of us throughout the meal. All in all, though the food did not stand out, the service was truly stellar.

    HAPPY HOUR 5-7PM Monday to Friday! Good simple rolls and good vibes. The workers were super sweet and I loved the vibes of this place. We got seated immediately at around 5:45PM on a Friday! I'll definitely come back in the future for their happy hour!

    Great staff and service. Comfy location in North Beach, will a very solid happy hour from 5-7pm. Affordable rolls and sake, with everything tasting fresh. If you're coming from Fidi or Soma, easy access to Sushi on North Beach from public transit. They're doing things well here and I wish them continued success.

    Scallop bites - gift from chef

    This is a gem. The new owners got their stuff together and wow, I love this place. The owner spoke to me briefly and it sounds like there are some exciting ingredients coming in and a fresh injection of creativity from the counter. Incredibly welcoming and leaps ahead of the old NBS The poke is a sneaky steal. Massive cuts of beautiful fish for ~$14. If you let the chefs are the counter make you what they are loving that day- you are in for a fun night. Great beer and sake list as well.

    Great price to quality ratio here and amazing service! They have set combos for sashimi that are very filling. For a group of 6 of us it was fairly easy to get seated when we came

    Higawari Teishoku Dinner
    Suzi Z.

    Cute homey Japanese restaurant in north beach. We arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night and were lucky enough to be seated instantly but there was a steady stream of patrons lining up as we ate so I would expect a wait typically. Food itself was pretty good. I ordered a spicy dragon roll. I wasn't too hungry so it was just enough but I could also see someone needing to order more to be full. Bf ordered the Higawari Teishoku set, which came with agedashi tofu, choice of gyoza or chawanmushi (egg custard), a grilled fish, rice, sashimi, and dessert. For all of this, the price was really good. The reason for 2 stars off though was that his set was missing the sashimi, rice, and dessert. We figured it would come as a second course but after taking our dishes away, the waitress simply just brought our check. We were confused and had to ask her about the items that we never received, which ended up involving a lot of back and forth and confusion on her part and waiting on ours. Then, after they finally brought the sashimi, we had to again remind her about the dessert, which ended up taking an additional 20 minutes to come out for some reason. I know they weren't churning the ice cream up back there so I have no clue why it took so long. We considered just leaving multiple times. The whole thing soured our experience quite a bit as it involved us waiting for a really long time. Also never got the rice but figured it wasn't worth asking about.

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.

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.
