This place was a pleasant surprise given the yelp score. Food was good (squash miso was unique and delicious). Sushi was unique. I did think there were several wild caught fish options and there were not as many/not easy to find. Caitlin was great, they have high chairs. They were busy but pleasant. Daily happy hour is great deal, up until 6:30! read more

Tataki - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Happy hour from 4:30pm - 6:30pm, $7 for all items on the happy hour list. The restaurant has some fiery dishes. Unfortunately there are not many salmon or hamachi or tuna options for hand rolls. The space is really clean. Able to seat down right away at 6:15pm, just enough time to order for happy hour. Ordered 5 items totaling to $55. The artic char roll was pretty good. Agedashi Tofu is plain, the dipping sauce didn't really add to the flavor. Order 2 speciality roll: extinguisher and tataki. Extinguisher had fire, used it to toast sushi. Tataki contained seared fishes. Fish and veggie were pretty fresh. The happy hour is a great price, I wished it has more roll variety, but the rolls have great presentation. read more

So good! Miso soup, Candlestick roll (fresh), Tataki roll (buttery), and sashimi that they recommended as similar to Yellowtail. Delicious! Very pleasant date spot. Later read that the restaurant's aim is sustainability! read more

This is our friend's go-to spot for happy hour sushi and sashimi! We joined them one Friday and arrived around 5:15 - right in time for happy hour prices. We tried a few different hand rolls and other sushi rolls. Everything was great - including the price. They had high chairs and the servers were great with the kids. I would absolutely come back read more

Sushi on a Sunday evening. What a lovely surprise. Top quality seafood and an elegant presentation. Bought more than usual because of adding a last minute guest. Found some new dishes to order. Will return very soon. Maybe aim for happy hour time slot instead of late evening. Amazing quality and variety of choice. Easy street parking. Win-win! read more

Average spot for rolls, but we were in the area and in a hurry so it was pretty good for what we expected. The extinguisher roll was pretty cool since it came on fire but was overall gimmicky. The fire went out pretty fast as well, considering the waiter said some people like to heat their rolls more on the fire but there was no time too. Walked in on a weekend and wasn't packed and parking was really easy to find on the street luckily. Food/ 7/10 Service: 9/10 Ambience. 7/10 read more

Great stop for sushi in the area - service friendly and happy hour everyday! - arctic char and avocado roll 5/5 : favorite item had this day, fish was fresh and avocado was the perfect ripeness. Also good ratio of filling to rice! - tempura shrimp roll : cant go wrong with tempura, still had crisp - ikaage : nicely seasoned batter, a little oily tasting but the sauces helped! read more

Came here with my friend for happy hour on a Thursday. We made a reservation for 5:30 pm, and we got sat immediately. Our server (who was also the host) was amazing, making sure we were always okay. The happy hour items were all $6 each, and we got: - iwana nigiri 5/5 (I love iwana) - katsuo nigiri 2/5 (was fishy) - shiro maguro nigiri 4/5 (it was yummy, but I'm not the biggest fan of tuna) - arctic char & avocado roll 5/5 - crunchy California roll 4/5 (wasn't deep fried, just had something like panko on top) - soju margarita 3/5 (tasted like lemonade, not a bad thing, but didn't taste like alcohol was in it) - ikaage 5/5 (perfectly fried, light batter, came with a spicy mayo and a sweet mayo) read more

My friends and I came here for happy hour and ordered spicy edamame, most of the nigiri, a couple of rolls, and agedashi tofu--plus the essential adult drinks. The only miss for me was the agedashi tofu; it didn't have much flavor. Everything else was solid, especially at about $6 per item--hard to beat. Service was great and there were plenty of tables. The ambiance was simple: bright lighting, simple decor, very clean, and we sat at high tables. We made a reservation, but you could probably get by without one. Definitely would come back. read more

I love their commitment to sustainable fish. The dimly-lit and wooden ambiance and warm and responsive service has always me back, and of course, happy hour is the star. If I'm in the area, I would stop by, otherwise delivery from this place is above my income bracket as someone not in fin-tech. read more

What a fun coincidence! Earlier that day, we had lunch at a Japanese udon restaurant in Japantown, and to our surprise, when we came to Tataki for dinner, we were greeted by the same wonderful server, Jane! Apparently we managed to pick not one, but two restaurants she works at on the very same day. Jane recognized us right away and was just as warm, friendly, and attentive as she had been at lunch. Her genuine hospitality made us feel so welcome and added an extra special touch to our evening. As for the food--everything was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. We ordered three different dishes, and each one was delicious. The sushi rolls were creative without being overcomplicated, and the sashimi was buttery, fresh, and paired perfectly with the light citrusy flavors and garnishes. You can really tell the chefs put care into both the taste and presentation. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service from Jane. Running into her twice in one day felt like fate--and she made both meals memorable. We'll definitely be back the next time we're craving high-quality sushi in the San Francisco! read more

Actually so obsessed with this place!! Can't beat the prices on the happy hour menu. The ambiance is cozy and casual but lively. The service was wonderful and my friends and I had the best time. I will absolutely be back! read more

Rating as a dinner customer! Been here for happy hour and it's one of the best sushi happy hours in the city For dinner, took a couple visiting from NYC here because they specialize in vegetarian and vegan sushi and one of my friends is allergic to fish! Lots of options for those who might have the same situation :) Get the HARVEST MOON roll! Service is quick and when not super busy they'll give you a choice between high top or low top! Ambiance is casual and more of a local spot, they loved it. Sake was good and a highlight was the Extinguisher roll of course. Tataki plates are the best here but we were feeling standard sushi rolls. Their rolls specialize in not the typical kinds of fish, but that's what we like about Tataki is they have a lot of good ALBACORE dishes! Prices are really reasonable compared to other sushi spots in the city. read more

Happy Hour: (5/5) - $6 spicy margaritas! I would come back for that alone. There were also other food and drink items all for $6 during 4:30-6:30pm. Service: (5/5) - was super friendly. I didn't know the menu and she patiently explained what each dish was. Food: (5/5) - again, I had no idea what I ordered but it was all good. Tasted very clean (not oily or fatty) and fresh. read more

I'm usually a big fan of Tataki. However they do seem a bit hit or miss. Ordered the Sake (Salmon) Sashimi and it was just too fishy i had to spit it out. Otherwise their happy hour, which increased from 6 to 7$ is what we come for. read more

We decided to try out Tataki during happy hour on a Saturday. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. We got seated right away, ordered some drinks and appetizers, then ordered our food a few minutes later. Our servers were very nice. They gave us lots of recommendations. The food came out very fast. I loved how big their happy hour menu is. I would definitely take advantage of the $6 drinks if you're in the area! There is limited street parking but this place is easy to find. read more

Came here to try out their happy hour deals before a concert at the Independent (definitely walking distance)! My friend and I tried the drinks (sangria and margaritas for the day we went), and we got the ikaage, the arctic char & avocado roll, shrimp tempura roll, saba nigiri, and crunchy spicy tuna hand roll! All the food was fresh and delicious! And such a good deal too! I'll definitely be back again - overall definitely a 10/10! I liked the ambiance as well - there is plenty of seating and the dim lighting and decor add to the overall vibe of the restaurant! The service was also good! The servers are attentive and food comes out relatively quick! :) read more

Amazing happy hour prices and incredibly fresh fish! We came in for a 5 PM reservation on a Friday and I can't believe it was my first time here. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, and the service was so attentive, we were in and out in under an hour. Everything was delicious and exactly what we were craving. Definitely coming back to Tataki soon! read more

So my husband and I came here for their HH. It was good but not great as I was hoping for. The rolls are good but, I do wish they had more of a variety. I mean they do have a few good ones but they are basically all the same concept. I really didn't enjoy the calamari and their nigri sushi. The miso soup was very hot and delicious. I might come back again and try rolls from their menu. read more

Came here with a friend for happy hour a little after 5pm. We were sat immediately by the hostess. We ordered exclusive off the happy hour meal and I think it was a good deal for the price! Oh and they provided complementary green tea at the end of our meal. Despite being a relatively large space the place was very busy and if your party is more than 2, I recommend considering a reservation. read more

Overall good spot for a daily happy hour - 4:30-6:30. Went on a Friday for 3 people, around 5pm and had no line! Everything is $6 - rolls, drinks, and apps. Good amount of food for a good price! read more

Fish was ok - nothing special. I sat at the sushi bar during happy hour- perhaps not the right time to sit at a sushi bar. They were very busy and forgot I was there. I had to flag down the servers twice. I ordered sake aburi, ikura with quail egg, amaebi, chicken karaage among others. I didn't partake in any of the happy hour specials and I did have dassai. I wanted so much to like this sushi bar, as I had just moved into the neighborhood. $156 for 1 person, I was hoping for a better experience. read more

Happy hour selection was pretty good, well priced compared to other sushi spots. It does get packed quickly. We didn't know they opened at 4:30pm but we got reservations anyways so if you come early, chances are you'll get seated. There were a good amount of seats but as we were about to leave, there were only a few tables left. The servers were attentive and food comes out quick. Parking can be tough but the restaurant is by a bus stop! read more

Really enjoyed Tataki and their happy hour deals! Came here twice with friends after work and it's always a pleasant time. The servers were friendly and accommodating, we were sat right away once arrived. Service was pretty fast too. The place itself is cozy, like your neighborhood go-to restaurant. Their happy hour deal were great and delicious! Well priced for san francisco. I believe they open at 4:30 for happy hour until 6pm. We ordered quite a bit to ensure we make the hour or so last. They do get busy around this time so come early! We had couple of their sushi rolls, calamari, tofu, and nigiri and all were so good! The servers were attentive and would come by to ask if we needed anything or order any more food, etc. Would definitely come back and try their other food from their regular menu. read more

We came here for an early dinner and to take advantage of Tataki's daily happy hour. The restaurant didn't have a line or anything but by 6pm there were people waiting for a table. The food is most definitely worth the price during happy hour as $6 for rolls is not easy to find in SF. The sushi itself was good but the scallop nigiri was bitter and clearly not fresh. This was a cheap way to eat some good sushi at a restaurant but I don't think you need to go out of the way to try this spot. read more

I decided I needed a little happy hour to celebrate taking two back to back exams. The sushi here was so tasty and loved the little purple lychee sangrias. Everything was $6 on the happy hour menu. We were tucked into a little corner of the bar where we could chat. If you want a table, this place seems to get booked out so make a reservation. Otherwise walk up for either the bar or sushi bar, have a glass of sangria, a cocktail or beer and good bites for $6. I would definitely be back again. read more

Tataki - Albacore tuna handroll ($4) - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

My boyfriend and I have tried to come for happy hour twice now and both times we were unsuccessful in getting seated before 6:30pm. I highly recommend making a reservation if you are trying to do happy hour, it has been packed every time we've gone from 4:30-6:30pm, even in the middle of the week. They have it every day and it's a good deal. I'll have to take my own advice and make a reservation next time lol. By 7pm, the restaurant was pretty empty after the happy hour rush. Service was nice, everyone was attentive and nice and the music was a good background level of chill house and wasn't obnoxiously loud pop like many other places. The meal started off on a good vibe. We started with miso soup and tempura. The soup had a nice miso flavor, but I wish there was more tofu and seaweed. The pieces of daikon in there were interesting, I've never had miso soup from a sushi restaurant with that in there. The tempura was really good, and I liked the option of the tempura sauce and seasoned salt to flavor the pieces. My boyfriend and I liked the sweet potato and eggplant pieces the most. The shrimp was also slightly different than expected, with a crispy panko crust instead of the standard tempura coating. I liked this change as it stayed crispy as we ate the rest of the tempura first! For sushi, we ordered the golden state roll and the deluxe 12 piece nigiri tasting. The roll came out first, and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It was super unique with the matchsticks of apple included in the inside of the roll. The spicy scallop was sooo good and I loved the lightly seared albacore on top. The yuzu tobiko added a nice citrus flavor that went well with the apple and contrasted with the spice from the scallop. It was such an inventive roll and made me want to explore more of their menu. The deluxe 12 piece tasting was a feast for the eyes and mouth! It was presented so beautifully, and I was ready to dig in. Every piece of fish was delicious, with my boyfriend and I loving the scallop, amaebi, hamachi, and saba. There were more that I didn't know the name of, but they were all so fresh, with a good balance with lighter and leaner fishes and heavier buttery cuts. The rice and fish portions are definitely on the smaller side, but I still appreciated how fresh and expertly prepared each piece of nigiri was. I was pleasantly surprised by this meal, everything was really good, with a slight twist on what you might expect from a neighborhood sushi spot. I can't wait to come back for happy hour and to try out more of their menu! read more

Great place with a cool interior vibe. The fish was great and the rolls are delicious and original. Definitely a bit of an "elevated" aesthetic. Worth checking out if you are looking for something a bit different than the standard sushi fare. read more

Fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented sushi+, reasonably priced in a cozy spot. Service was fast and friendly!

Tataki - Assortment of fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented items from their HH menu! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I heard about Tataki just a few days ago after looking into another happy hour near by. Their happy hour is $6 which includes a few appetizers, rolls (can request it into handrolls) and nigiri. You also can order from the regular menu which has an extensive list of rolls and more. I arrived right before 4:30 which is when the happy hour begins. They seated everyone immediately. But they do get busy for their happy hour, but the service was efficient and attentive. I was able to order a few appetizers, 3 rolls and 2 rounds of nigiri. The fish was delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be back for happy hour. read more

I came here as a back-up to another sushi happy hour and we all left unexpectedly very pleased with our meal at Tataki. As a walk-in, we were told we would have to vacate our table within 1 hr but thankfully they didn't end up pushing us out. The spicy margaritas were amazing - they were actually spicy from the jalapeños and strong. The calamari was passable but the sushi was the star of the night. We got an order of each of the nigiri to try and my group enjoyed them so much we re-ordered some of our favorites. The hotate and iwana were sooooo tender and buttery. The fish were lesser known cuts of fish than your typical tuna and salmon but the nigiri were all executed very highly. Usually happy hour sushi fish is quite subpar and the rice is never really that good. I would def come back :-) read more
