Ask HN: Where should I eat sushi in San Francisco?

4 points·jbranchaud··5 comments

I am headed to San Francisco for the first time next week and I'd like to find a couple good sushi places to go to while I am there. Any recommendations?

Google Places or Yelp links appreciated!

I come from Vancouver, where I am spoiled with sushi selections at very reasonable prices. There is a sushi restaurant/take-out within 2km walk from where ever you are in the city/suburbs. Coming to San Francisco, I was disappointed in the limited sushi places considering San Francisco is 3x more populated than Vancouver. However, for the last four months I've been testing out as many sushi places as I could. Best tasting and freshest around my neighbourhood is a tiny place in Castro called Warakubune Sushi ($$). Another good place is Sushi Time, a hidden gem with very fresh fish,($$) and Osaka Sushi, Japanese owned with bigger maki rolls ($). My friends have recommended BlowFish Sushi in the Mission area but I haven't tried it yet. It's more unconventional type of sushi and more on the pricey side ($$). Good luck!

If you can drive south to San Mateo (about 30 miles from SF), the best sushi is Sushi Sams. They are one of a few places that serves toro, and it's the best you'll find in the Bay Area. Melts in your mouth.

None of my friends will shut up about http://www.yelp.com/biz/zushi-puzzle-san-francisco-2 - probably worth checking out.

One recommendation I've been given already is - http://www.yelp.com/biz/akikos-sushi-bar-san-francisco

A tiny tiny shop..
