sakesan sushi & bistro

honestly one of my favorite place to get sushi in sf. they usually play good music and have really cool traditional style Japanese seating.

This place has a few hole in the floor tables tables, a few more 2 tops and private rooms for big parties(karaoke) The vibe is nice and the service is good too. The menu has a lot of options. I got the green tea wich is $1 with refill.For appetizer i got the takoyaki which was flavorful and just delicious. In addition, i got the Lion king which i felt was lacking flavor and a crunchy roll that was good.

Service was kinda slow, otherwise the food is really good!!

The waitresses here are super sweet and friendly! This is a great hangout spot if you and a group want to be fancy and bougie for a night. It's dimly lit and has this Asian Fusion Modern-esque vibe, luring in all the young boppers ready to spend their allowance. In the main dining room, they also play a variety of music videos ranging from the early 2000s to Top 40s today, so when you're bored of your friends' constant jabber, feel free to fixate your eyes on the TV instead!

I do have to say though their sushi is a tad overpriced and their Gambler Roll is not spicy enough! My boyfriend and I were anticipating this scorching, ghost pepper, blood inducing piece of sushi, but were sorely disappointed after we ate our last piece. We were pretty confused but didn't want to bring it up because if they perhaps-maybe-somehow-might've forgotten to include it, there was no evidence.

Nonetheless, very dope spot. Would come again on a payday.

A different dining experience! Our children love this place. One needs to take off the shoes before being seated. Good food, good ambiance. But it was hard for older patrons to get up from the floor 😁. Also, one of our orders didn't arrive on time, so we took it to go. Recommended!
