This restaurant is 10/10 across all categories. Every time my wife and I walk in the host smiles and welcomes us back. The service is always impeccable and the sushi quality is the best I’ve had. Sitting at the bar and getting the omakase is the most fun I can have whilst dining. Finish the meal with the white out roll and you’re gonna have a great time. I love coming back here.

Absolutely love Saru - the fish is very fresh and every piece of sushi is delicately trimmed and prepared. I am also a particular fan of the Hamachi Truffle appetizer, highly recommend. The "Watermelon Roll" is also delicious - it is wrapped in a cucumber sheet rather than in rice; very refreshing and a great addition to a meal if you want to cut back on some rice.

Never disappoints and always consistent - definitely the best and most recommended place for anyone visiting San Francisco craving for nigiri, sushi and sashimi. Their 5 pieces of Salmon Omakase is absolutely heaven on earth!

This place is so good! Tasty food, cosy atmosphere, friendly staff. Highlights are the appetizer spoons (in the photo) and the seaweed is possibly the best I’ve tasted.

Saru hits the mark for what you would expect SF sushi to be like - excellent. The fish is FRESH, rich in flavor, and soft as butter. The tiny space is clean, well decorated with authentic beautiful Japanese plates and serving pieces. And the staff is working hard as a team to take great care of everyone.

Been wanting to try Saru for some time now and finally decided to go during the weekday. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:30 and there was already a line waiting outside the restaurant. Would recommend coming a little bit earlier so you can get in during the first seating. The fishes are very fresh. The nigiri are well seasoned and no need to dip the soy sauce. The quality is pretty similar to some restaurant in Japan.

Tiny but mighty gem! I rarely get the pleasure of tasting good sushi since I live in Indiana. But, Saru wasn't just good, it was excellent!!! Though I liked everything I tried, my favorite was the negihama roll (the only pic where the rolls are not in a line). Other things we tried: Tasting spoons appetizer scallop and torotoro (not pictured, I was too eager lol), spider roll, naked scallop roll, watermelon roll, and white out roll. Sorry I cannot tell you anything about parking as we took a Lyft there. But, the place is very small so I believe that the inside seating might be difficult for people with mobility issues to navigate. However, there is some outdoor seating, that is accessible. The cost I indicated only includes food since we both drank water.

We decided to visit Sura Sushi for a casual workday late dinner. Our experience was nothing short of delightful. We started with Buri Daikon soup, which provided comforting warmth. Opting for a selection of Nigiri and Sashimi, we were thoroughly impressed. Each piece showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. From the Chu Toro to the O Tor, Engawa to Sunazuri, and Hotate, every bite was a symphony of flavors and freshness. Highly recommend this place.

This has been one of my favorite sushi spots in the city. They have lunch from Friday to Sunday. Few pcs to multiple pcs of Omakase to choose from. I love the salmon skin salad and the fish are alway fresh and yummy here. The nigiri it’s not over sized. It’s seasoned and the size it’s one bite perfect size. Tamago also taste like a honey cake. I love to save it to the last. Service it’s good as well. Down side it’s not easy to find parking in this area.

Quality omakase at reasonable (for SF) prices. Difficult to make reservations, so be prepared to put your name down in person and wait 30-45min before getting a seat.

Lead by Chef Billy who got trained in Kyoto and Kanazawa with Japanese government’s invitation, Saru offers no frill but high quality Sushi with reasonable price for many years, and it’s one of the most loved Sushi place by locals. They also have a good variety of Izakaya menu and the place is family friendly. It is often hard to book so take out is another recommendation.

One of the freshest sushi bar in town - if you’re around here (or not), you have to stop by. Their prices are reasonable and you’re absolutely in for a treat. No reservation (for now) during the pandemic Arrive early before they open The line gets a bit long

WOW OH WOW! I am so impressed. It is very rare to be so blown away with togo sushi. I called to eat in on Friday but they are full, so I placed my order for to go. The restaurant is pretty small inside but have decent outdoor seating. Bee, the server who packed my to go food, was very meticulous and packed everything so neatly. He even wiped the neatly package togo box. Very authentic Japanese experience of the attention to detail in packing! The eel sauce was packed on the side. What a genius idea. It keeps the sushi from being too soggy. 5 star! The sushi is fresh and perfectly seasoned. Not overpowering, and you really taste the quality of the fish. The sunomono is so good. It has pine nuts in it! For two people, I ordered Spicy dragon, spider roll, salmon tasting sashimi, miso soups, sunomono salad, and Rock and roll roll. Update: dined in there recently and was so impressed by some of the new dishes I tried. The tamago is a must have. It tastes like uncle tetsu cheesecake. So good! The seaweed salad is delicious as well. No fishy aftertaste. Very refreshing
