New favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant. Glen Park is already just the sweetest neighborhood but we walked by this place and had to try it. As soon as you walk in you can smell the fresh tempura. We had a roll with shrimp tempura and it was still warm from being freshly fried. I would recommend everything we had, but in this order: Rapture roll, hamachi nigiri, gyoza sampler, sake toro nigiri, tuna hosomaki. Loved that our server sent us away with a roll recommendation for our next visit. I'll definitely be back! Worth every penny. read more

Who would have guessed this small discrete neighborhood place has such good food. My friends have been talking about this place for a long time and they finally took me there. It was on a Sunday so the selection of sashimi was slimmer but Alex and Wilson whipped up a great platter for us. I also love the salmon teppanyaki. Definitely want to come back to try the uni, was told to preorder. Wilson and Alex were so welcoming and friendly, will return soon even though it's so out of the way. read more

Wife and I enjoyed an early dinner at Tekka House. We started with the Gyoza sampler (with 2 each of chicken, pork and seafood). Then I devoured the amazing Salmon Teppanyaki entree while she had the Shoyu Ramen. The Teppanyaki presentation was beautiful: plate still sizzling hot with perfectly cooked salmon and vegetables. The service was friendly and efficient. The vibe was bright and welcoming with J-Pop playing softly in the background. Dessert was a light Matcha cheesecake which finished off the meal nicely. Would definitely recommend. read more

Friendly server. Tried the spicy tonkotsu miso ramen and I think I just find most ramen too salty. It was very pretty - nice vibrant spicy oil color and the broth was very rich and flavorful and just maybe too much for me. I was a bit overwhelmed by the salty flavor. The pork slices were a bit chewier than expected but I enjoyed the meatyness and the fact that the pork was NOT as salty as everything else in the soup. The runny egg was also good. The noodles were bouncy. The Golden Gate roll featured salmon, scallop, and avocado with crunch from the cucumber and tobiko. I really enjoyed the lemon slice with this roll. I would try this again but I will probably stick to getting sashimi or sushi rolls. read more

Solid choice was sushi, tempura, and apps. Everything tasted fresh, service was great, and cute atmosphere. Really like that they don't pack the tables in, helps make for a relaxing dining experience. Def wanted to come back and try more items! read more

Tekka house is my go to sushi place in Glen Park. Wilson and Alex are fantastic hosts and take good care of the regulars. My favorite is the Chefs Choice Sashimi, Chenery Roll, and Volcano Roll. Agadashi Tofu, Oysters, Agadashi Tofu, and Wontons are my favorite starters. I also appreciate their seasonal fish, like the Halibut they had. Overall, it's the perfect place for friends or going solo. read more

Tekka House is a hidden gem. It is one of the best sushi restaurants in the City. The fish is always fresh! Very important when I am in the mood for sushi. And, the food is well prepared and seasoned, with irresistible flavor and scent. Some of our favorite dishes are the tuna nigiri, hamachi nigiri, tuna sashimi, hamachi sashimi, Tekka mugan roll, spicy tuna roll, tuna poke, ceviche, garlic edamame. The service is excellent and friendly. I highly recommend Tekka House! read more

Always a wonderful experience. Super fresh, gorgeous sashimi, seaweed salad (a must), and warm delicious agedashi tofu. Ice cold beer & smooth saki to wash it all down. Can't wait to go again when I am in the City one month from now! read more

Food was nice and fresh. We ordered the bento boxes and a sushi roll. Very good food that we finished it all even the rice! The guy who served us was very friendly read more

I love this place. Fish is fresh, food is sublime and service is friendly and fast. It is worth the money. There is plenty of parking on the street. read more

All their ingredients are very high quality. Everything from the stickiness of the rice to the elasticity of the seaweed, to the juicy cuts of fish. If you are into high quality sushi, this place has it. We will be going back to try more dishes. Incredible read more

The food is great and you've got to try the miso soup salad and sashimi! The service is awesome and workers are really nice to us. The ambiance is wonderful giving it an old history look while still keeping a vibe with old Japan. The decoration is nice and beautiful although the uni/ sea urchin is sometimes not fresh it's great to order other things! read more

There was only one party here when we arrived at 6PM on a Sunday and they had just finished so we had the place all to ourselves. I love the design-Japanese modern. There is metered street parking available, but you don't have to pay on Sundays. We looked at the menu via the QR code and were not prompted to create a profile. You can order online, but our waiter actually took our order which we appreciated. He was very nice and welcoming from the moment we stepped foot inside. I started off with the Ahi Tuna Poke which came with wonton chips. The chips were slightly too oily, and there weren't enough. I finished the chips with about 3 spoonfuls of poke left. The texture of the poke pairs so well with the chips though and the sauce is very flavorful. (A bit too salty once you get to the bottom) The dragon roll had great quality. I didn't need to dip it into shoyu as the sauce was enough. The best part of this was the ginger. I was amazed at how fresh and crunchy it was. No wonder it's offered as its own side dish on the menu! The shoyu ramen comes with thinner noodles than traditional ramen, but they were perfectly cooked. This was my favorite dish. read more

Ambiance has definitely improved over previous ownership. Ama ebi special is on point. Salmon sashimi & negitori is delicious. Service was friendly. No more outside seating but that means more parking and no place has it all. read more

Went for a lunch mid-week with 3 of us. We had the best time - staff was very attentive and friendly but did not hover. We sat for a while catching up and did not get hassled by staff at all. Food was very good. It was quiet and a nice atmosphere for friends to chat. read more

Service level has drastically changed, for the worse. We have been here before multiple times and thought the food and service was good. Tonight we walked in and did not receive any acknowledgement whatsoever for 10 minutes, even after introducing ourselves. read more

Tekka House is perfect for dinner and kid friendly. The interior decor is enhanced by dark woods with Japanese touches, love the indoor base water fountain! Flavors are spot with food and sushi presentation above standard. The chicken dishes are great but try the Sticky Ribs...awesome! Recommend and we will be back. read more

This review got knocked down due to customer service and prices. I originally was going to give it higher stars because the taste of the food is not the issue, the prices and rude attitude from the owner is. Seeing the menu is easy as they have a QR code on the table, just note the menu images on Yelp are fairly old and don't reflect current prices. When I was deciding what to eat, I was shocked at the prices. A California roll was $17 and other basic rolls like spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and Philadelphia were just as expensive. For reference, restaurants that are considered three or more dollar signs on Yelp and on the higher end do not charge as much for basic rolls. I'd expect to pay $17 for a speciality roll. Even places in more expensive neighborhoods charge around $8-12, and they use real crab. I'm just writing this so other customers are aware before being "bamboozled" like I was. I didn't appreciate being rushed to order (there was no one else eating there at the time) and the owner's rude attitude. The food itself is decent and their hours are very flexible, I would certainly come back if the prices made more sense. For the portion size in a casual setting, it is overpriced. read more

A surprisingly delicious neighborhood spot. It's unassuming ambiance belies the fact that the food is really good! Don't sleep on the appetizers, as the quickly grilled butterfish, the melty tangy ribs, and the crispy greaseless tempura are a great way to start a meal. Sushi is also very tasty, and the ramen hits the spot also. It's rarely crowded so a great spot to land if you want to grab some tasty Japanese food on the fly. Service is friendly and fast. read more

I want to love Tekka house. I want it to be as good as it can be. But I think they could make a lot of improvements. First and foremost, and they know this is a pet peeve is the QR code menu. Have a chalkboard! Or newly printed menus that let patrons know that you are on top of the freshest fish available. QR codes are so COVID era. Just stop that. Also your prices are really high. If you had more traffic (and I live right near by so I know that is a real issue), you could probably lower them. I went to Yume tonight instead. Good. Reliable. Didn't break the bank. Hoping Tekka will step up their game read more

Yep, this was definitely a neighborhood Japanese restaurant close to the Glen Park BART station. No doubt. It used to be Tataki Canyon, another neighborhood Japanese restaurant, and I still don't think the newish owners have any aspiration to become the next Nobu. Nothing wrong with that, but you may want to dial down your expectations. I sure did when I was seated at the sushi counter as a solitary diner, and I was pleasantly surprised. I started with the $6 Karaage, which turned out to be a generous portion of Japanese fried chicken presented as a bar bite appetizer with dipping sauces (photo: http://bit.ly/2Rcc9Cz). Piping hot but frankly more than I could handle. I coupled it with the $14 Rainbow Roll which was fresh enough but fairly standard grade. Where I took a bit of a wrong turn was trying to order off-menu and asked if the sushi chef could make a naruto roll since I wanted a no-rice option with crunch. He appeared puzzled by my request as it would have required an artful carving of a fresh cucumber wrapped around pieces of sashimi in a spiral pattern. What he did was cut the cucumber in sticks and wrapped it in nori (photo: http://bit.ly/384RaIR). Uh OK. At least they charged me just $5. Welcome to Glen Park, Ed. FOOD - 3 stars...fried chicken they do, naruto rolls no AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...kinda stylish actually though I think it's the same decor as it was as Tataki Canyon SERVICE - 4 stars...very nice regardless of their ignorance of naruto rolls TOTAL - 3 stars...neighborhood sushi, it ain't Jiro RELATED - Looking for sushi?

If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for? I love all the dishes that are prepared by Chef Drew and his team. When I'm there, I will always get my sake in the big carafe to make sure it stays cold. Their fish selection is always fresh and a wide variety. Always ask what is their special fish that night! The ambiance is very friendly and cozy. A must try sushi spot! read more

It's always a pleasure coming here. The sushi is super fresh. The lobster was actually still moving when it came out. The fishes were fresh and fatty. The chef took the head and claws of the lobsters and made us Garlic butter lobster udon. Although they seemed to be lacking in staff. I was greeted quickly and went with the chefs recommendation on food. Overall good experience and would highly recommend you to come have a drink and try their food. read more

Tekka House is our regular sushi spot in San Francisco, very consistently amazing quality of fish. The staff is really friendly, great with kids and really know sushi! The best part is the specials which are super-fresh, things like Kampachi, seared sake toro, butterfish, all as local as possible. No idea why this place has 3.5 stars. read more

I discovered Tekka House after hiking nearby in Glen Canyon Park. I never really had been to Glen Park before but now I try to hang out after hiking because the area is so cute and homey, a little hamlet away from it all yet very easily accessible by Bart and the freeway. There are a few restaurants here but this seems the newest with the most modern feel. The restaurant is small, maybe only 7 tables as well as seating at the sushi bar. I'd recommend their fried mashed potatoes. So good! I've gotten it a few times and I think the next time I'll order more than one for myself. It's called the croquette on the appetizer menu. I also liked that they have pitchers of beer which I find hard to find in a regular restaurant that isn't more bar focused. read more

Incredibly delicious sushi and chicken tenders and vast selection of yummy Japanese sake and wine.

Great location and lovely outside seating with heaters. read more

The food was not good at all for the price. It was very bland and honestly was something I could pick up at a local grocery store. Service was very average and when I asked for an additional order the waiter ignored me and continued to listen to his music with his airpods in. read more

Delicious food, attentive/friendly staff, and no reservation required. Would come again

I love the casual, colorful ambiance at Tekka House. Parking on the street was easy and service was pleasant and efficient. But the food was just so-so. The pork gyoza were beautiful and crispy, but the filling was just okay. I am a big agedashi tofu fan, but didn't enjoy theirs. The crispy coating on the chunks of tofu turned quite gelatinous in the broth. Hamachi was okay, a bit mushy. So, we filled up, but it was not inexpensive and not great. read more

I love their rolls, especially the hand rolls, and their ramen! I like that it's super easy to order through an online menu, and the staff is always so friendly. It's a cozy neighborhood restaurant. So glad we have this restaurant in glen park! read more

Nice quiet dinner. Average service. Good ramen... Tempura a bit overcooked... Overall nice meal.

Service was abysmal - 25 minute delay between myself & my dinner companion being served! Salmon was too salty.

Really appreciate the passionate owner for this place. Had a conversation with him about the place and the food and he is very transparent about everything and it really makes you appreciate the hard work that goes into the restaurant. The food is solid and the restaurant is well decorated. I would recommend for the good vibes read more

Had an amazing first meal here! We ordered the agedashi tofu, the Chenery roll, a hamachi roll, a kaiso salad and a few other things. The fish was super fresh and everything was delicious! Hope to be back soon. read more
