Hamachi Kama
Philip B.

Nice quite location, subtle music playing in the background. Sat near the sushi bar and saw the sushi chefs putting in work! Server was very nice, ordered a few apps and sushi rolls. We were the only ones there but it ended up getting pretty busy right after we got our food. Hamachi kama was a big collar, loved it with the ponzu sauce they served with it.

First time at this Japanese restaurant, and there's nothing really too special about this place. Typical Japanese restaurant with a basic menu. Parking is really hard, and their sushi tasted very "fishy". The service is really good, but it wasn't really busy when I went so I wouldn't know how their service would be on a busy time. Ambiance is cute inside, and I like how it's dim with different Japanese decorations to make you get the feel of being in Japan.

I got sushi from this place from Uber Eats and it was so good I got it for a 2nd time the next day! What was a hidden gem was the veggie tempura. The veggies were large and the pieces were very flavorful and the perfect texture. The best part is it stayed crisp and warm even for delivery. Sushi was also fresh. Looking forward to trying in person.

I've ordered delivery from Wasabi & Ginger a couple of times but had never been inside. Now that I've had the chance to dine inside, I wanted to make sure I wrote a review! I went with three other people for dinner recently. It wasn't that busy, so we were seated right away. We looked over the menu and decided to order a few appetizers and rolls to share between us. The food came out pretty quickly, and we all dug in right away, so I only remembered to take two pictures! We enjoyed all of the roles and the appetizers and were happy with the amount we had ordered. The prices are reasonable for SF and the service is really friendly. I really liked the asparagus beef!

Salmon Hand Roll
Sofia L.

Order Uber eats, payed 64$ for this. I was disappointed with the size of the hand rolls who cost about 7$ each. This is ridiculous pricy for the size. My whole order was noting that I expected. Price are super high for the amount they provide

Romeo and Juliet Roll
Lisa W.

This seems like a more popular place for takeout than eating in. I was really excited to try the Romeo & Juliet Roll which is supposed to be really popular here. The sauce was definitely spicy, so I'm glad they offered it on the side for me. To be honest, I was disappointed that it was so small. Definitely not a regular sized roll -- slightly larger than a maki-type roll. However, everything tasted great and very fresh. I don't recommend the salmon maki though. For some reason it tasted hard to me as if the rice was not fully cooked. The caterpillar roll And Hamachi nigiri were excellent. The best surprise was the miso clam soup which we were so excited to try, that I forgot to take a picture of it. Overall, I would give this place a 3.5 if we were able to give half stars, but it gets an extra half star because it was clean and quaint inside.

Hottie with a roll.
Alena W.

Wasabi & Ginger was close to our hotel so off we went. The rolls were good, the sake was gross (I think all sake is gross but I drink it anyway) and the service was fine. The fish tank was an odd choice, like, "These are the chosen ones!". I totally failed to ask for the check-in offer of free chicken something or other. Don't be stupid like me. Get the free chicken.

Stayed at hotel almost next door to this restaurant and it was perfect! Seated right away, very clean and service was great! Food is very fresh and delicious...won't disappoint!

Omakase $30
Christina G.

Stumbled across this place while we were walking around the neighborhood on a Tuesday night. No wait in line at 5PM. A pleasant surprise! Five stars for service and complementary edamame, chicken karaage (for checking in), and ice cream. To keep it short, food was tasty, prices were very reasonable and fish was fresh. The omakase sushi 10 piece was only $30.

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the fresh sushi, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The strong takeout business and reasonable prices also stand out.

one of my personal favorite omakases ever. the ambiance is exactly what you imagine -- dim lights,…read moreintimate -- but i wish we got to sit at the bar. nonetheless, the servers are amazing and kind. my favorite set had to be the third picture i included. every bite was just so unique and ugh i think about that set here and there the hokkaido uni was definitely a favorite of mine and im so happy i got to eat it twice. i would say that this was also the most freshwater eel i had and need to admit it was amazing as well

Overall Rating: 4/5…read more We recently dined at Kusakabe for their 18-Course Omakase ($210 per person). Overall, the quantity of food made it feel like a very reasonable value for high-end dining in San Francisco, and I would definitely return. The Courses & Food - Edamame Surinagashi (Silky Edamame Dashi soup with deep-sea red crab and caviar): Unfortunately, this first soup was a bit of a miss for me. It felt bland and needed salt; I was hoping the caviar would bring a pop of saltiness, but I couldn't taste it. - Otsumami (Seven kinds of seasonal Japanese appetizers): Served on a beautiful tray that I wished I could take home! Highlights included a squid dish in a savory black soup liquid that was so delicious I drank every last drop. The egg roll avocado bite was also fantastic--warm, crisp, and savory. However, the wagyu piece on the tray was quite dry, and while everyone else enjoyed their toro, mine came out noticeably stringy. - Four kinds of Sushi: These nigiri courses were phenomenal--even as someone who isn't a huge fan of wasabi, I devoured every piece. Highlights like the toro, eel, and amberjack were all outstanding. - Wanmono "Hamo Shinjo Soup" (Delicate Japanese pike eel "Hamo" dumpling in clear umami dashi soup): The fish cake dumpling soup had good flavor, though by this point I was starting to get full and couldn't finish the broth. - Four kinds of Sushi: Continued the streak of incredible nigiri bites. Mains Choice (A5 Oita Wagyu vs. Mehikari Kara-age): We split the two options across our party. The Mehikari Kara-age (shiny green-eyed fish fried crispy) was about 6 inches long, similar to a large sardine, but very meaty. It was battered and fried to absolute perfection--light, crispy, and paired with an amazing seasoning salt. WOW. - The A5 Oita Wagyu blew the previous wagyu appetizer completely out of the water. Both mains were on the smaller side, but given the total volume across 18 courses, we left completely full. - Four kinds of Sushi: The final sushi round was incredible. Surprisingly, my favorite bite wasn't a standard fish maki, but the uni--and I don't even normally like uni! Miso Soup & Sweets: A solid, comforting end to the meal. Service & Experience The staff was warm, welcoming, and polite throughout the evening. However, there were a few minor operational hiccups for a restaurant of this caliber: champagne was initially served in the wrong glassware, and a couple of dishes were placed on the table oriented backward. More noticeably, one of our main courses was delayed by about 10 minutes after everyone else's arrived, leaving our table in an awkward spot wondering whether to start eating or wait. Despite those small missteps, the service was genuinely friendly, the food was extremely generous for 18 courses at $210, and we had a great overall evening.

Multiple parties were seated after us and every single one of them got their food before us. We even saw a table that waited so long to order that they left and we noticed the table behind us didn't get their waters until after they finished their food. I have been to many ramen places and this is the worst service I've ever came across. The fact that I had to walk up and talk to the owner to get an apology and compensation for only myself is pretty upsetting. They did not apologize to the rest of the table. Either they don't like having a large party or they can't handle the tickets in the right order. I would not recommend this place when there's a large event in the city as it doesn't seem like they have the capacity to handle things properly. Simple acknowledgement goes a long way.

A cute little place serving coffee, matcha and a nice selection of Japanese pick up lunches…read more I love the spam musubi here. They are hearty and substantial, unlike a lot of the smaller musubi. They also make onigiri with salmon. They even make one with takikome gohan. Such a treat especially for someone who grew up in a Japanese household. I still need to try the lunch bowl and special bento box. For coffees and lattes, the selection is limited but the drinks are good! I like the kinako matcha. The kinako flavor is strong and might overpower the matcha flavor. I also had the strawberry matcha. While I'm not usually a fan of strawberry matcha but I like this one. They make their own strawberry syrup and you can tell the difference. I also like the shio vanilla latte. We have so many coffee shops to choose from but this is one of my favorites.

This is a pretty aesthetic and chill coffee shop. I really like their interior design…read more I came here at 12 pm on a Saturday and it was slightly busy. I ordered the Tamago sando and cold brew while my wife ordered the kinako matcha and chashu sando. I liked the Tamago sando enough but it's a bit pricey at 16 dollars. The flavor is light and the bread is fluffy but wasn't as soft as it looked. It was overall OK. The cold brew is definitely good but be warned that they use a lighter roast and that this roast does make for a more sour cold brew. It was smooth at least. My wife said she enjoyed the kinako enough but it did taste more like hochija than matcha. It was OK to her. The chashu sando was good but not great. The employees are really nice though. I felt that this coffee spot is good, but not great. If I'm in the area and want coffee I'd stop by but I wouldn't take extra effort to come back. P.S. the restroom situation is really weird. It's basically a side quest to get there and the security guard working the front desk seemed really annoyed that coffee shop customers wanted to use the restroom.

I ordered the vegetarian curry with tofu and broccoli at the medium spice level (~$17). The spice level was exactly as described and the curry itself was flavorful. My only small complaint is that I wish the vegetarian curry came with a wider variety of vegetables. I was surprised it didn't include potatoes which were an additional charge. The portion size felt fair for one person I had enough to have leftovers for dinner. I do wish the price was a little lower since it's a takeout-only spot, but considering the area, it seems pretty in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown SF. My partner ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth checking out.

I tried Muracci's Katsu-Curry and I'd say their Katsu is a 4 and curry is a 3, rounding out closer…read moreto 3. I appreciate the fact that they have a more authentic style of pork katsu instead of a chicken katsu that's more common in the US. They do have chicken too for those that wants one. The Katsu was fried right. Crisp, fresh, tad juicy and good. For the curry, it's been few weeks since I actually had it and I can't quite remember the flavor details. But, that's not much different from what I felt back when on the day I had it. Good, yes. But, didn't have a striking memorable flavor profile. Not much to say about ambiance since it's a take out only spot. The service was nice and pretty fast though. Excellent place for a quick takeout when you want to grab and go!
