    Good heavens, almost exactly one year later I stopped in, ordered the same food, sat in the same seat, and they remembered me! What a treasure this place is!

    Teruaki is my favorite sushi place in the city, the owners are so welcoming and considerate with the way they prepare and serve you. We came in on a Sunday to have some evening sushi and they had the 49ers game playing on their tv. The feel of the restaurant gives comfort and home. I highly recommend this place. Give it a try next time you're in SF!

    More of a 4.5 star experience, but rounded up. Quality/Quantity - I was starving when I got here; a consequence of eating excessively healthy, daily salads... My guest let me do the ordering since they did not have her usual order - Salmon bento box. So today I ordered the following: Sushi Plater - Fresh and the CA rolls were done well. Decent size fish, but I actually could have used a little more rice with each Nigiri. But overall, we were happy. Caterpillar - One of my guest's favorites. Again, done well, fresh, and of decent quantity. Romeo & Juliet - I honestly do not think I have ever gotten this roll before. It was my favorite. Not just because of the freshness and decent quality, but because it was new to me, and a good combination of a roll. There are a couple of rolls I have also never tried before. But that just means I have to come back soon. Atmosphere - Very small local business. 4 booths and 4 counter seating. Not even a sushi bar... Very limited street parking; I had to park 2 blocks away. Open 6 days a week for dinner only, see Yelp. Closed on Wednesdays. Service - Good. Both team members greeted us when we entered. We were the only customers. Our waters were refilled often. Price - $50 + tip. Very reasonably priced for what we got. Actually, I would consider it inexpensive for SF. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last two years; I look forward to becoming a regular. If only the parking was easier...

    What a hidden gem! Searched yelp for sushi after a long day and found this spot. Service was great and the sushi was bomb. Ordered the special rolls: Caterpillar, cherry blossom, shrimp&eel (forgot the name), and volcano. Favorite was the volcano roll!

    The Romeo & Juliet Roll is my favorite, the scallops are perfect! The 49ers Roll is perfectly balanced and refreshing!

    Teruaki easily takes first place in my book for high-quality sushi, and the price happens to be unbeatable. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by AKI, who provides attentive service throughout your meal. Meanwhile, her husband, TERU, crafts beautifully balanced, top-tier sushi rolls right behind the counter. This restaurant is only ran by TERU and AKI, and they maintain a VERY high standard for their food. The experience is refreshingly simple and unpretentious, no gimmicks, just exceptionally good food. Straight to the point. The Romeo & Juliet Roll is my favorite, it's balanced well and the scallops are phenomenal! The 49ers Roll has the most delicate hints of lemon along with the perfect matchstick cucumber pieces - The chef is incredibly skilled with his knife. I've had Yama in Los Angeles and Nobu in Newport, but Teruaki in San Francisco stands above them all. It's the kind of spot you'll want to gate keep and tell only your favorite people about.

    Their rolls are good sizes and they are quick! I prefer them to Kufuya which is nearby.

    Don't sleep on this little gem. Looks can be deceiving. Teruaki is a small, 3 or 4 table spot. No flash but the food shines. The sushi was really excellent and very well presented. Definitely going back.

    This place is a very small sushi restaurant on Geary in the Outer Richmond. We came here on a Tuesday for dinner for a party of 2. We ordered 4 rolls, which was a lot as we ended up taking about 1 roll's amount worth back home. We ordered a Lion King roll, Four Seasons roll, Romeo & Juliet roll, and Cherry Blossom roll. Overall, the rolls were really big and had great variety. The service was pretty standard. There were not really many other people in the restaurant when we were there. The booth chair I sat on was kind of uncomfortable or stiff, but overall, the experience was solid.

    Our server Ivana is so sweet, when we came in she greeted us with so much kindness. I recently visited Teruaki and was absolutely blown away by the exceptional service and quality of sushi they offer! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient overall. I was impressed by the variety and uniqueness of their inventory. You can truly tell that each item is thoughtfully selected with care and attention to detail. I found exactly what I was looking for! (Order the 49er roll it is delicious we ate it so quickly!!) What stood out the most was the personalized customer service. They took the time to understand my needs and made thoughtful recommendations without being pushy. It's rare to find such genuine and attentive service nowadays. I also appreciate how they support the local community by sourcing from local artisans. It feels good to shop somewhere that cares about the community as much as they do about their customers. I highly recommend Teruaki to anyone looking for quality products and a delightful shopping experience. I will definitely be returning soon! This place is the cutest !!

    Hands down best sushi I have had in SF! We got takeout and everything was incredible! Our favorites were the Lava Roll and Tempura Roll. I can't wait to go back!

    David S.

    Excellent sushi in our neighborhood. We especially like the hamachi jalapeño and rainbow rolls.

    11/3/23. Sushi & Sashimi Platter. $29.95+ each. LOVE their Sashimi, Unagi and how California Roll melts in mouth!
    Sharmaine M.

    11/3/23. Ordered ahead from DoorDash and my order came around 830PM. *Celebrate Bf's Birthday Month wOohOo!* I have to mention that DoorDash driver, Enver was superb! Two Orders of: Sushi & Sashimi platter $29.95+ each. I compared the prices and amount of pieces from other restaurants. This place is more bang for your buck! It's not the greatest quality sushi but good enough. The ngiri and sashimi were Kukje Market quality. Not bad at all! The sashimi was better than the ngiri. I'm glad the ngiri set had scallop and unagi in it, but the scallop had a some what fish-y taste. You can never go wrong with sake (salmon). Unagi was delicious! Kukje most likely sells $20 for a platter like this. It was like, do I really wana drive all the way to Daly City at this time? Or just chill at home and have the food come to me? Sooo.. I paid $10 extra and ordered from here lol The california roll WOW'd me!!! From the crab meat, avocado and the sushi rice. It was lowkey melting in my mouth and flavors were on point! I think that was one of the best California Rolls, I've ever had! Also, I love how presentable every thing was. From the radish, shiso leaf, sushi and even the to-go plates! Cute. I'll have to try their other entrees. Happy eat's ya'll =)

They have both regular hamachi and also the hamachi toro! The toro is about $18 for 6 or 7 pieces. So much cheaper than what you can get at restaurants. I wanted to do a make your own hand roll night at home and got a variety of sashimi, a small container of ginger and wasabi for $1 each, and a small container of tobiko for $2!

The salmon tobiko don ($15) was a good meal, I love how it includes seaweed salad. The onigiri, about $4.50 each, has a balanced ratio of rice and filling.

    Pretty bummed about my experience here. This restaurant has so much hype. I see long lines from all…read morethe time, and I finally got around to trying it, and it was just okay. The first time I came here, I got the strawberry matcha latte with my friends. We ordered it via delivery on DoorDash, and I'm not sure if it's just the whole delivery part, but I could not taste any part of the strawberry! It just tasted like regular cream on top. Typically I'm more of a coffee person than matcha, so I'm not a great judge in whether this was good matcha or not. But I guess it did taste ok in my opinion. The funny thing is, my coworker also said the same thing when she ordered the strawberry matcha latte a separate time! Disappointing. A separate time, we also ordered from them via delivery. This time I was eager to try their food items instead, since they have a pretty interesting selection, like those cake sandwiches and various Japanese items. I got the spam masubi, which I thought would be a solid choice. It did arrive warm, but the slice of spam that was in the masubi was so thin! It was the thinnest piece of spam I had ever gotten, and I've gotten spam masubis at a variety of places including ABC stores and other places in Hawaii, and even various stores in the States. The rice was okay, some brown rice thing with seasoning, that was decent but not my preferred white rice. Overall my two times here have been disappointing. I will really never line up for this place in person, nor will I understand why people do.

Quality/Quantity - We had a large group, thank you for accommodating. I believe we made reservations, where we would not be seated until everyone showed up. Good thing the group all showed up on time (for once, lol). Ordered the following for our table, our other table had our larger half of the group. But due to the door mishap, I did not want to walk over to take pictures of their food/order. Okonomiyaki Fries - Was too soggy for me, but everyone else on our table enjoyed it. Popcorn Salmon - I did not enjoy this, but everyone else on both tables loved it, so it was "a me problem." Boneless Fried Chicken - I enjoyed it, but no one else did?!?! I guess I have very different tastes from this group...? Tonkatsu Ramen - Good. But very basic. Beef Short Rib Plate - Three orders, both people enjoyed it. Actually, our young eater ate 1.5 of this plate, 1/2 from his mom's order. This order also came with a side salad and steamed rice. Bulgogi Plate - I can't remember if I got my rice?!?! Well, the beef was of decent quantity, I actually brought a little back home for leftovers, with the boneless fried chicken. At home, it was a little too salty, too much soy sauce. Sizzling Bibimbap - My daughter's dish which was also good. I believe she had leftovers. Our other table got the regular bibimbap, they said next time they will try the sizzling as they felt that was better. Lastly, our guest on the other table ordered one of each dessert for both tables. Mango Panna Cotta & Chocolate Tartufo - I am not a chocolate person, but enjoyed the Tartufo better. Our guest wanted Soju! The first time, so we ended up ordering two hot larges. Smooth and went down too easily. I then finished my meal with a Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. Boy I miss this beer, I have not had in a while. Too busy supporting local breweries. Overall, the food was just okay for me and my daughter. Ambiance - Outside looks good, and new. Love the menus and the happy hour information. Might come back for HH. Small local restaurant. A few tables and bar seating. Clean restrooms, two unisex. Street metered parking, free after 6pm. Plenty of street parking. Service - Okay, the front door has issues... It stays open, then does NOT close. It is slanted, so you have to "force" it to close. When we ALL got here, I guess we left the front door open by accident. Well, the waitress did NOT appreciate that (I stayed outside taking my Yelp pictures while everyone else walked in). She gave me a LOOK... While I was still outside, more people came in and I tried to close the door for them and because the door is slanted, it did not close and had to be "forced" resulting in a slam, sorry. Got another look... After that, I went straight to my seat. Menus on the table. Price - Expensive, or did we order too much? I think our bill with tax and tip came out to almost $800. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2017; look forward to trying your happy hour.
