Hakashi Japanese Bar & Grill - Review - Soma - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Fish tastes fresh, and the rice comes perfectly seasoned and slightly sticky without feeling gluey. We usually order from their long list of nigiri, which is the best way to enjoy the quality fish and has a mix of the usuals as well as options like Hokkaido uni and barrelfish. Rolls are also delicious, if not a little over-the-top. Take their titular Hakashi Roll. It's equal parts spicy and smoky, and doused in mayonnaise and generous dollops of black tobiko."
"Take their titular Hakashi Roll. It's equal parts spicy and smoky, and doused in mayonnaise and generous dollops of black tobiko. Keep this spot in mind for a casual, impromptu weeknight date night, as tables are usually easy to come by and you'll inevitably get pulled into the chefs' loud back-and-forth behind the counter. Even if you're a non-sushi eater, their lunch specials clock in at around $15 and come with miso soup (we like the oyako don)."
Hakashi in SoMa serves straightforward sushi with fresh fish and perfectly seasoned, slightly sticky rice that avoids a gluey texture. The nigiri selection is long and showcases quality fish, including staples as well as Hokkaido uni and barrelfish. Rolls are flavorful and occasionally indulgent, with the Hakashi Roll combining equal parts spice and smoke, mayonnaise, and generous black tobiko. The dining room maintains a casual, lively atmosphere with chefs' loud back-and-forth behind the counter. Tables are usually easy to get for an impromptu weeknight date. Lunch specials run around $15 and include miso soup; oyako don is recommended.
