"Sushi options in San Francisco are abundant. There are casual joints with novel-length sushi menus, neighborhood staples that go above and beyond, and extravagant omakase counters perfect for big deal occasions. The one thing all the places on this guide have in common-they're where you want to go for excellent fish, whether you're looking to drop $30 or $300. Read on for the 20 best sushi restaurants in the city."
"This place has been in the Inner Sunset for over thirty years, and is still packed with people for straightforward rolls, nigiri, and handrolls, and superb appetizers, like miso-glazed eggplant and agedashi tofu. Things at this casual spot also run smoothly: Even though Ebisu is loud and the tables are somewhat cramped, the service is quick and the people running it are always checking in on you."
"Dinner at Ken on Divisadero feels like an exclusive dinner party-and one filled with flawless nigiri, silky chawanmushi, and dashi-soaked tomatoes that burst like water balloons in your mouth. The omakase counter is only six seats, so you'll easily have a conversation with the person on the opposite side of the bar, or crack jokes and exchange stories with the eponymous chef."
San Francisco offers a wide range of sushi experiences, from casual neighborhood joints and walk-in counters to extravagant omakase seats. Longstanding spots in the Inner Sunset deliver straightforward rolls, nigiri, handrolls, and standout appetizers such as miso-glazed eggplant and agedashi tofu, with quick service and lively dining rooms. Intimate omakase counters like Ken on Divisadero provide precise, multi-course meals—flawless nigiri, silky chawanmushi, dashi-soaked tomatoes, and house-cured ikura—served at six-seat bars for an immersive experience. Tiny walk-in restaurants in neighborhoods like Noe Valley require waits but reward diners with perfectly executed fatty tuna and attentive service.
