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.

Best sushi takeout in SF. Simple as that. Our go-tos are: Golden Gate Roll, X Roll, Double Hamachi Rol

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.

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.

TLDR: When you're at the heart of Japan town, you have to embody the nation in all the good ways…read more Kui Shin Bo, embodied the nation's backbone of being average to above average in multiple things. This place covers many of the basics (rolls, ramen, tempura, yakisoba, teriyaki, unagi). I really only see it as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. It doesn't mean that this restaurant has no place in Japantown, but it doesn't inspire confidence when it's located in an isolated region of the mall with less foot traffic, while its competition on the other wing has lines longer than the location's capacity. Black Garlic Ramen: It's always a mystery to me how black garlic improves a bowl of ramen. My expectations, however, remain the same. How thick is the broth? How clean is the broth when consumed? What is the quality of the chashu? Do I get enough noodles? I think the best part of this meal was the amount of soup they give, and the chashu was very good. It sucks that the chashu is tiny, but they did very well. I feel that the noodles were those wholesale ramen noodles that were portioned, and the garnish was fine. The broth was okay, 3.5-ish stars in terms of taste. Dynamite Roll and Volcano Roll: I think it's a problem if I have trouble identifying which is which. I can tell you that both are good enough to try, and the Volcano Roll comes with raw fish. Both come with a good crunch and a good sauce, but like most Japanese places that lean heavily into the rolls, good luck finding out what you ordered and what you just ate. Ambiance: Very classic Japanese. They're really at their best to convince you that you're in Japan. It may get tight during a busy day though. Service: Standard. You order, your water gets refilled, you pay, you leave.

To top it all off, the staff were friendly, welcoming and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back.

The roll is so flavorful and just melts in your mouth. Unfortunately though, my last visit was honestly RUINED by poor customer service. I understand the model of first come first serve for their seating and have participated every time. However, this time I have a torn meniscus and called ahead to ask if I could be put on the waitlist since my mobility was very limited and the operator assured me there was no wait and I would be seated right away. 10 minutes later when we arrived that was not the case and we ended up being 4 parties behind in the line, which is fine things happen unexpectedly I totally understand. What really was upsetting was when we were told our table was next and being cleared, 10 minutes passed by so I went and asked again clarifying I could not stand for too long due to the injury. The server was very rude and said I had to wait to be told to sit, even though he had just told us we would be seated soon, and then proceeded to lie and tell me the open table was for the owner. The patron sat the table was definitely not the owner and I even heard him say he called and asked for the table for a first date. It felt really humiliating and upsetting to be passed up and continue to wait with a significant injury. And then when we finally were sat, at the bar top, the same server was just really rude and cold. It was an overall upsetting experience and I hope you never let your staff treat customers like that again. Overall, I do love the sushi but after this past experience I don't think I can come back.

Conveyer belt sushi for the win!…read more I came here last minute because I needed somewhere quick to eat and I was by myself, so luckily there was one seat left (during busy dinner time on a weekend, no less - other places had long waits) Here in America the conveyer belt sushi places haven't really impressed me, but being that this one is in Japantown, it's pretty decent. If there isn't something on the conveyer, you can always ask for it. They were cutting up real, whole fish so you know it's fresh at least. Service was great, super quick and the "chefs" were responsive. The menu is nice, with lots of drinks to choose from as well. Cuts were not authentic but still meaty. Pricing can be on the higher side, depending on what you like. But others have mentioned it can be cheap as you like or expensive as you like at places like these, as they are priced essentially by the choice of fish and how it's prepared. Atmosphere was lively for a weekend night, but I have been here during the week as well when it's less busy. It can be tight if it's full (get to know your neighbor!) but it's more than adequate. Always a fun experience and I have , and will be back.
