This was my first time being at Ebisu. I had a really wonderful time. I was there with my family. There were five of us. We all ordered stuff and ate family style. I really wish I had taken pictures of the food because it was beautiful and the service was really fast especially for being so crowded. On a Friday night. I will go back again and take photos of my food. I will go back again!

You can't call to make a reservation here. You'll need to walk in and either be seated immediately or write your name on the list. Whatever happens as long as you get to sit down and eat at this establishment is your good fortune. I had the mackerel dinner, my son had the salmon dinner, and my partner had all types of sushi. I could barely speak because my tastebuds were too busy having a party in my mouth. Definitely worth any wait!!!

This is by far my favourite restaurant in SF! The quality of the fish, the service, the flavour! Everything was top notch. If you can, try to be seated at the bar so you can talk directly to the chef… it adds to the experience! Expect to wait 30min before getting seated. The restaurant is packed on Friday or Saturday nights!

Sorry for not visiting sooner. Top sushi nigiri with such delicious soft sushi rice. No wonder there was a line for a seat. I will definitely be hitting this place up more often. No joke.

First when I come in they put me at the darkest corner in the restaurant and I asked to move to another table. Second, no one ask for what I want to drink after 5 minutes I sat down. (For some reason all the staff including the chef were focusing on one specific table may be VIP I guess) Should have more options on Omakase, I don't mind to pay more. But if I ordered Omakase with only regular Salmon, Tuna, Albacore, Ikura and MASAGO without even 1 piece of UNI or Scallop why would I order deluxe sushi or Omakase. Ankimo, first time ever with no sauce and I had to ask for ponzu sauce on the side . Conclusion, way overrated for their stars. 去之前期望太高👀 食完之後食物和服務水準比預期差太遠！😔😔😔
