    Fosh Fish Katsu with Shiso
    Samantha D.

    Finally got the chance to try Tadaima. There was a long line at a kind of off lunch hour on the weekend. It moves pretty fast. Probably ordered and got my sando within 30 minutes. Don't think the sandwich is worth the price. I think there are better sandos out there. Got the fish katsu with shiso sando. Wanted more shiso in the sandwich. The fish itself was kind of dry. It is filling, and it doesn't feel that heavy comparatively to American sandwiches. Not a lot of seating inside. Ended up eating near a park.

    Pleaseee get these poor workers an AC unit that works, I felt so bad that they were sweltering in the recent heat when I went (and having to yell people's names over a loud crowd). Matcha here was fire though, I would definitely recommend over a couple other competitors in the SF area! Getting it less sweet allows that natural matcha flavor to really peak as well too. Next time, I'll have to try the food and also the jasmine tea with the matcha foam. I like the concept and aesthetic, especially when matcha shops are popping up like wildflowers.

    A great addition to the Marina! The matcha here is nice, and the food is great too! We stopped by on a weekend and dang the line was so long. Definitely bear in mind that this is not a quick service place as of now, since there are so many people interested! However, the staff is kind and patient with the crowd, so just need to factor in extra time. We got the pistachio cream matcha and a couple onigiri. The matcha is definitely a sweet, dessert-like drink, but that worked out great for us! The pistachio is nice and creamy and the matcha is just a little earthy. The onigiri comes filled to the brim. They even put some of the additional filling on top, so it feels like a great bang for your buck. The crab onigiri is delicious! This is a great place! The line is long, and I wouldn't really recommend to someone specifically for a very true matcha taste, but this a great weekend pick-me-up spot!

    Great matcha and musubi in the Marina! The pistachio cream matcha latte was so good. As a huge matcha fan, I definitely approve. I loved that it wasn't too sweet, and the all-green interior is super cute and inviting. For food, I tried the unagi, avocado, and spam with egg musubi. I got lucky since it was the last one available, and it was so delicious I finished it in a minute. Parking is street parking all around. I heard there can be a wait during peak hours on weekends, but I went on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty chill. I stayed for a bit to work, but there's no WiFi, so plan to use your hotspot. Definitely coming back to try more matcha drinks!

    Strawberry & Cream
    Michael W.

    Came here with my fiancé (who doesn't eat dairy). She originally wanted their matcha latte with strawberry cream, but unfortunately the strawberry cream was premade and couldn't be made non-dairy. So we got a plain matcha latte with oat milk. The matcha flavor was strong and it's not too sweet. The drink could have been smoother since there's a matcha powder texture at the end of each sip. I got their strawberry cream sando. The cream is almost like cheesecake consistency and it's pretty sweet. Bread is soft. Strawberries are more on the sour side, but I think it balances well the sweet cream and sweet bread. Overall, wish they were a bit more dairy-free friendly, but really good cream sando place and not a bad place for matcha latte!

    Fish Katsu with Shiso Spam & Egg Matcha Latte
    Angela K.

    Walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for some matcha and lunch! The place was pretty empty. Seats are very comfy and the place is colorful. I ordered the spam and egg musubi, fish katsu with shiso sandwich and a matcha latte with oat milk. Total came out to be around 34. The musubi is great if you want a quick snack. I really enjoyed the fish katsu sandwich. The lettuce was fresh, and the fish had just been fried, crunchy, warm and paired well with the sauce. The flavor kind of reminded me of a fish o fillet from mcdonalds, but an elevated, healthier version. The matcha latte came a bit sweetened and they use good quality matcha.

    I ordered the tonkatsu + pineapple sando, egg salad sando, and the strawberry and cream sando. Omg, the strawberry cream one tasted delicious!! I didn't enjoy the tonkatsu one because it was a bit dry, but still crispy on the edges which made it enjoyable in some way.

    Solid comeback from grainy matcha drink in the mission location. This space is also a lot larger than the mission location one. Plenty of seating, but does get busy. Ordered a light ice matcha latte ($6.50). The matcha had a great umami flavor and good color. Pickup area can be a bit more organized. The cafe is more of a catch up cafe since there's no wifi, it does get quite loud, but the space is aesthetically appealing.

    My date and I were on TikTok and wanted something sweet and we stumbled upon a video that reviewed Tadaima so we decided to go. We ordered a Strawberry & Cream Sando as well as a Strawberry Matcha Latte. In my opinion, the sando itself was a solid 3.5/5. Though the cream and strawberry was very sweet and delicious, the bread was unfortunately a little airy & dry which made the sando on the disappointing side for us. The Strawberry Matcha Latte was OK, ~3/5. We found that our Matcha wasn't all that smooth and felt a little "gritty." Once the strawberry part was mixed in, it became a little better. Overall, Tadaima in Marina was OK for us, it was definitely a solid try.

    Strawberry cream matcha latte, black sesame cream latte, curry chicken onigiri and mushroom onigiri
    Sally Y.

    While the one in the Sunset has long lines, this one has none! (At least when we arrived at around 1pm on a Monday; ) We snacked on a curry chicken and a mushroom onigiri, along with drinks- strawberry cream matcha latte and a black sesame cream latte w/ a shot of espresso. Nice bright store with friendly service and clean restroom. People in yoga outfits come here from a nearby studio!

    Matcha Latte with Strawberry Cream
    Noe C.

    Strawberry cream is a must!!! So delicious, fluffy and light not too heavy. A bit on the sweeter side (not overpowering). It doesn't taste like other cafes where the strawberry taste can be too syrupy. This one is close to perfect. Matcha itself was good, nothing super crazy but solid solid drink. Would recommend if in the area. Only thing, parking can get busy so if you can do online ordering and just pick up. You have to tell them u have an online order or they won't call your name.

    Matcha Latte with Strawberry Cream (Oat Milk)

    Tadaima means I'm home in Japanese. It's just such a common term with my family, and being Japanese, I get a kick out of this cafe name. Well, here, I definitely didn't feel at home, but I did feel like all my matcha cravings were satisfied! My best friend and I always love grabbing matcha together. Being in the area, we wanted to check out Tadaima since we'd never been to their Mission spot. This place is popping with friend groups, couples, and like-minded matcha girlys. There's table seating inside, but it's usually taken, so keep that in mind. It's also popular for take-out, which is what we did. Decor is minimal, and the color inside is such a vibrant green. Service was quick for our matcha drinks but definitely took time for my best friend's food. We both got the Matcha Latte with Strawberry Cream, mine with oat milk. The matcha quality was good and not too sweet or bitter, the strawberry flavor was present, and the drink wasn't overly creamy. It was delicious and I'd order it again! My best friend said her sandwich was good too. Tadaima gets my approval in the Marina! There are so many places, so I recommend checking them out if you're in the area and craving a matcha. They're off Union Street, with street or garage parking nearby.

    Yummy. Been to the Tadaima in the Mission, so it was nice to go to the one in the Marina. I really like their fruit sando. Especially like their strawberry fruit Sando. The tangerine and cream one is nice, too. Comfortable and clean place. Located on Union between Octavia and Laguna.

The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, with a nice light seasoning that didn't overpower the dish.

The vibe felt cozy and laid-back--nothing fancy, but definitely the kind of place you'd come back to when you're craving something reliable and filling. Only reason it's not a full 5 stars is I wish the curry had a bit more spice or complexity, but that's personal preference. Still, a really enjoyable meal overall and worth checking out.

Immediately, the ambiance and service was quite nice. We were seated at the table, but typically I enjoy sitting at the bar to watch the chefs make our food. The service was amazing and they were very attentive. They also offered to take photos and gave us a little gift of hojicha tea since we were celebrating. We got the omakase, which was massive and had 18 courses. They gave us a menu so we knew what to expect for each course, and we ordered some sake. The omakase was delicious and more traditional than other places, each course was so beautiful and delicately made. This is definitely a lot of food, I would recommend the petite omakase in the future as I was stuffed, but it was a great experience if you come hungry! Courses: - Chawan-mushi - super tasty and every bite was delicious and umami forward! - Otsumami - 7 seasonal appetizers presented in a beautiful box, there was a stuffed crab claw in there that was delicious - 4 kinds of sushi - each piece came out one at a time, the first piece was my absolute favorite and blew me away, it was a seared chutoro that immediately melts in your mouth and tastes smokey - Hamachi soup - very tasty and warming soup with hamachi inside, was perfect in between the sushi course - 4 kinds of sushi - A5 Waguyu shabu - this course was extra $10 pp but was so delicious, the wagyu was melt in your mouth and had some grated daikon on top in a ponzu dashi, the toppings help balance the meat so it's overwhelming since it does melt in your mouth, one of my favorite bites! - 4 kind of sushi - they brought out some really great sushis, including more chutoro and an unagi handroll, but I was so stuffed at this point that I felt I couldn't enjoy it as much - miso soup - this soup was so tasty and kind of revived me after all that food, it felt comforting and a great way to end - dessert- I got the hojicha ice cream in a waffle like cookie and it was delicious!

Our server was so attentive and thoughtful and really helped make the entire experience so much fun. This was also some of - if not the best - sushi I have ever had. Everything was extremely fresh and the fish melted like butter in my mouth. Every course was extremely flavorful and just truly deliberate; there was a story behind everything. They also have a really great sake list and our server recommended delicious pairings that went well with each course. I genuinely cannot wait to go back and experience another Omakase here!

For $18, you get an incredible spread: * your choice of gyoza, shumai, or tofu * a California roll or avocado roll * a protein of your choice Plus it all comes with edamame, miso soup, and seaweed salad. Honestly? That's my kind of deal. Everything we tried was delicious. In addition to the lunch box, we ordered a dragon roll and a dynamite roll, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. My husband went with the Una Ten Donburi. It was tasty, but at $30, it did feel a bit steep compared to the rest of the menu. The restaurant looked like your typical Japanese style space with the sushi rollers at the entrance and simple tables and decor. I do have two minor negatives worth mentioning. First, the edamame was cold and unsalted. I'm an edamame lover, and nothing beats it hot, freshly steamed, and generously showered in salt. So that was a little disappointing. Second, our server (I believe his name was Kayz) seemed visibly annoyed when we asked to split the check. As a server myself, I know this isn't rocket science, and guests should never be made to feel uncomfortable for something so standard, especially after there had already been a small mix-up with our roll order (we received two dynamite rolls instead of one dynamite and one dragon). We didn't make a fuss at the time because mistakes happen, but the attitude at the end definitely stood out. That said, the food itself was solid, the lunch special is a fantastic value, and overall we still had a good experience. I would absolutely return and would recommend this spot, just hoping for a smoother service experience next time.

My meal apparently wasn't memorable enough to motivate me to visit this location, that is, until quite recently. I decided to have lunch here after a nearby medical appointment. It wasn't crowded at all. Only a couple of solo diners and a loud senior couple. I wasn't in a sushi mood and thought I'd go healthy with the saba shioyaki. However, at the last minute, I went with the $19 Ika Yaki, a whole BBQ squid sliced and saturated in teriyaki sauce with a dab of shichimi mayo (Photo 8). The portion was generous and the texture was firm with enough elasticity. Unfortunately the teriyaki sauce did nothing to enhance the dish, and I wished they served it on the side. I also ordered the $8 Agedashi Tofu, usually a foolproof appetizer for me. It certainly looked right (Photo 9), but I was unpleasantly surprised how tongue-burning hot it was. The cubes of tofu must've just come right out of the deep fryer. The dashi broth helped calm the heat down but a little too late. I'm sure glad I sprung for the $3 bowl of Rice (Photo 10).
