Yuzu Cheesecake - a light and fluffy cheesecake so good that I dare say it's better than my own!
# of visits: 3
I have probably walked by this place a million times and never noticed it. When I was looking for a sushi place for my friends birthday I saw I had a Cosmo card for Go Go and figured why not, we'll try it out. Everything we tried was really good...we had Tara, Kamikaze, Off the Wall, Spicy Yellowtail, and California.
Service was excellent too. The waitress was friendly and joined in our conversations without being annoying.
Definitely want to go back and try happy hour 5:30-7 $3.50 handrolls.
Ugh, what happened to this place.... seriously!?!?! The sushi was so, so bland and what a terrible experience on my b-day of all days. And what the he** we were charged a "cakeage fee" for cupcakes ($5.00 - $1.25 per cupcake)!!! No need to cut just put on a plate with one candle.
And also the biggest pet peeve of mine today is any SF restaurant and that damn SF health care charge they out on your check. Can't these places just absorb that amount into the total cost of the check (food) so that I do not have to see and get really, really annoyed?!?!? Seriously. All companies (restaurants, stores, major corporations, whatever) need to pay for this... please, please do not let the customers know that we are subsidizing you to pay for this by nickel and dimming us (or over $1.00 per person as was the case for this place) - so very, very annoying. Every month when I get my health plan bill I think, jeez, maybe I just should start taking it on to my customer's invoices....

You can say that I was raised a "Sushi Snob". I was born in Japan and raised by very traditional Japanese parents who only eat the finest sushi around. They have taught me that sushi is actually an art and "real" sushi chefs are in school and in an apprenticeship for about six years in Japan. My folks typically won't eat at any sushi bars that do not have the "real" sushi chefs from Japan making the sushi--a bit snobby....I know. ...so I'm not a snob like they are and I'm not sure if what I like would meet their expectations, but Tokyo Go Go was a huge GO for me! First of all the cuts of fish were perfect rectangular shapes cut very thick. The rice was cold (it should never be warm), tasted good, and it was the perfect consistency (one of the key things to look out for). The cuts of fish draped over the rice and both ends touched the bottom of the wood slat so that the rice was barely visible. ...and the fish tasted fresh. The presentation of all their dishes were artistic (as most Japanese food is served). My sushi chef was 'Takuya" (I think that was his name) and he was great! The waitstaff, hostess, sushi chef--all were very friendly and the service was perfect! I'll take my parents there when they come to visit me....and regardless of what they say, Tokyo Go Go is a sushi place I highly recommend!

The location is great, because you are a walk away from all the great spots in the mission. The food is very good, but for some reason, they do not serve saki and beer (saki bombs) together.
I've been to restaurants that ran the full range of stars: some deserve five, some deserve one...Some merited zero or minus one. But Tokyo-Go-Go is the first place I've been that rates a "Suck It."
Why? A little item on my bill called "2 SFHSO - $2.50"
In case that's not obvious, these motherfuckers charged a buck and a quarter for TAP WATER. During a heat wave no less.
So Tokyo-Go-Go will never get my business ever again - and - they can "Suck It."

I heard the rumors.
I barely waited.
And at the end of my meal here last night, I can say, hell to the yeah, go go indeed!
I've realized something about my torrid love affair with sushi and that's, if a place has the smarts to carry hamachi belly, I am a sucker for it and they will most likely win me over. Last night's offering of it, was a total hook, line and sinker (haha, get it, fish, okay, moving on).
We definitely partied like rock stars here last night and tried just about everything. Carafes of different sakes, sashimi tastings, rolls and I even ate a deep fried fish bone. (Hey, mama needs her calcium!) Some of the highlights were definitely the Azteca and Kamikaze rolls, the miso cod, the Jack fish tasting and the Onikor sake. Yummy.
As for the place, I really dug the whole modern looking groovy vibe and the service was excellent. I also liked the fact that there were kids passed out all around us, so no screaming littles. Mmmm, passed out childrens, just the way I like 'em.
Will I be back? Mos definitely!

The overall rating is 4*!?!?!
I am ALL about the Happy Hour - in NYC we thrive on it. So after reading the reviews, we went & @ $3.50 you would THINK a great deal, but always a catch:
- The seaweed was gummy. What kind of place serves old seaweed?
- We thought to redeem themselves, we also ordered from the "regular" menu. For a $12 roll, it amazed me how small it was & its skimpyness with the wasabi/ginger.
- The drinks were VERY weak (rum & cokes) & when I asked if they could go light on the ice, they charged me for a double & Sarah didn't inform me until I noticed it on the bill.
Every1 has had a bad restaurant experience, but when you think you're getting a good deal (even if it's bad food), & then walk out having to pay a $60 bill for things you didn't know you were getting charged, amazes me how you all gave this place such great ratings.

Came here on a Thursday night for a party of 4 hungry little sheep-y girls. We all left happy and sated and flushed with twinkly eyes. Altogether, an awesome dinner! We had potato croquette (it had bits of kobe beef in it and was perfectly fried piping hot but over a bed of yummy green leafies with some sort of savory sauce on it) ... miso marinated black cod (OH MY GOD! ORGASMIC! OH MY GOD! the miso black cod standard breaks me down every time but Tokyo Go Go did an exceptional job and provided a rather generous portion of black cod *quavers with delight* can I say OH MY GOD!) ... warm Eryngii mushroom salad (really interesting flavors which we all appreciated and warm indeed on a cold city night) ... and some sort of shared plate where the theme was shrimp (shrimp butterflied open soft and buttery). As for the rolls, we had three 1) Off The Wall (I like! I like!) 2) Baja (the restaurant's twist on the standard California roll if you will which is always a knee-jerk pleaser though it's not like a huge deal) and 3) Golden Gate (really cute title for a sushi roll and the salmon and lemon combo is nice! it didn't rock my socks off but it had my shoes dancing a bit). And as for desserts ... don't worry ... I had room for desserts indeed and ordered the Banana Bonzai which was the most frickin cute desserts presentation ever [it came in a Bento box for goodness's sake] from a Japanese sushi spot. Thick haphazardously cut banana slices fried tempura-style. A sauce of black-brown shiny chocolate sauce [to imitate soy sauce when clearly it's chocolate sauce but I'll say the imitation was well done]. And a BIG scoop of chocolate ice cream with some sort of whip on top which is delicious! All in all it was fantastic! One of my girlfriends mistook a pair of strawberry-milk coated cookie sticks for chopsticks! Hysterical! We all dove in from start to finish. We all had drinks too. I personally enjoyed my plum wine imported from Japan. Woot! Altogether, fun fun! I think this is a fun place to try though I doubt I'd become a regular. How does one become a "regular" in a city as gastronomically diverse as San Francisco? Such a restaurant will need a ridiculous amount of pizzazz but Tokyo Go Go is a cool place to try. The bathrooms are chic and clean. The waitress was nice. The ambiance was semi-upscale and not overwhelming. The fish is fresh. It's all good.

Simply Amazing. =]
What disappointed me was the fact that we couldn't make reservations unless we had a minimum party of four but we compensated by going early.
Service was decent, nothing spectacular. It's just what you expect, they didn't really go out of their way for you(not that I expected that.)
Happy hour was awesome:
$3.50 hand rolls and since the last time I came here they added new items on to their menu. They had oysters for $1.50 which weren't bad but I guess I still prefer their oyster shooter which includes uni.
Their kobe meatballs were pricey for what they offered, it tasted like regular meatballs to me.
We ordered 16 handrolls ( I was starving...) I forgot which handrolls were good but most of them were pretty tasty.
As for dessert I ordered Greentea ice cream which was just plain green tea and cookies on the side.
My date ordered the mochi which I probably would have preferred.
I have tried the cheesecake and I really do recommend it.
My favorite sushi anywhere, I used to go every time I visited my mom in San Fran - but then she moved back and I miss Tokyo Go Go. You just can't get sushi that good in the midwest.
That being said, I never paid the bill, if I were to, I might not be as excited. As a non-resident, I'd try to go back anytime I would make it to the city.
I really like the chic, trendy atmosphere. The outside is deceivingly shabby, but the inside feels a bit like a nightclub. Sit in the front window if you can, great seat, great atmosphere. The menu has a variety of options and the drinks are fun.
I love the Toyko Go Go happy hour! Cheap lemon drops combine very well with $3 handrolls.
Even though i was a little nervous to try it at first, go for the sunrise. hamachi, raw quail egg and jalapeno tobiko. Yum ;)
I was there for their happy hour and it was a pretty decent deal. There are $3.50 hand rolls, $3.00 sake, and $1.50 oysters.
I guess I'm on a "lucky streak" but this was the second time, and the second day in a row, that I was charged HCSD. Someone explained to me that this is to fund the workers health benefits. I'm all for the workers having health benifits, in fact I voted for it, but I think the employer should pay for it. If they have to raise their prices to cover it do that, at least it's more honest than hitting someone with an extra charge without telling them first.

I loved the atmosphere of this place: the lighting, the music, and the trendy-artsy feel to it. I got there before it opened for lunch and by the time me & my friend were done, it wasn't very packed.
Service is great and the waiters are friendly. The sushi is perfectly sized, nicely presented, and all the ingredients taste really fresh. It's not incredibly mouth-watering fantastic, but it is really good.
Only thing to watch out for is that it can be a bit pricey, but if you go during happy hour and get their specials it isn't so bad.
By the way, if you have room for desert, the yuzu cheesecake is AMAZING! The lemon curd and blueberry jam on the side complemented the cheesecake quite nicely. It's not your typical cheescake either... it's light, fluffy, and almost feels guilt-free. =]

Best happy hour deal in SF. World-class sushi at $3 a hand roll, $2 kirins & cheap sake, great lounge-y music, friendly and prompt service. The place also seems to specialize on easy-on-the-eyes hapa servers, for all your bachelors/lonely hearts out there.
My only complaints are:
1) The place get WAY too crowded way too fast. You better be there before 5:45 if want a place at the bar.
2) If you're not at the bar, it's hard to get enough drinks in you before the full price kicks in at 7pm.
3) The place is pretty expensive after happy hour is up.
4) the kobe beef is irresistible even to those who've sworn off red meat. TEMPT ME NOT SWEET FLESH OF BEER-FED COW!!!
Yum!
I had a friend in town from NYC, and the San Franciscans wanted something new so we headed to Tokyo Go Go. There were eight of us, so we got the upstairs area which turned into a semi-private area (we made reservations in advance). A super comfortable environment since we had lots of space to spread out.
The menu is made up of shared plates (both hot and cold) and lots of different types of sushi. For the table, we ordered a couple of orders of the beef tataki, salmon/tuna tartare and the shrimp. The tartare (with avocado) was tasty and came with these unique rice cakes that had the texture of Chinese shrimp chips (without the shrimp flavor). The beef tataki was deliciously tasty, and the serving was pretty large (~6-7 pieces per serving). The shrimp were good but not great like the other shared dishes. We thought it would be good to start with a few shared dishes and then order sushi individually, but it turned out the shared dishes were much larger than we expected.
My friend and I got a spicy tuna roll and a spider roll. I liked the spider roll (crispy crab!), but the spicy tuna roll had a flavor that I didn't quite enjoy. Not quite sure what it was, but I wasn't feeling it. We ended the meal with fried bananas and ice cream - yum.
Given the size of the dishes, the meal wasn't too pricey - tons of food and drinks for ~$40 per person.
I went for happy hour and ordered both from happy hour menu and from regular menu. For happy hour, the have $3.50 hand rolls. I ordered several from the handroll and was disappointed with the seaweed. They don't use good seaweed. Seaweed is very important for my sushi, especially for the handroll. But I guess it is happy hour. I ordered from regular menu later on, but they used the same seaweed... The waitless was in the very bad mood as well and kept bringing things that we did not order. It was a fun atomosphere with a lot of people, but I guess I will not be returning.
I've been here before and had great sashimi. It was delightful. I tried to go back. My friend made reservations for her birthday party on opentable.com. One piece of useful information: don't even think about making reservations here for more than 10 people on opentable -- your reservation won't make it to the restaurant. I know what you're going to ask, and the answer is yes, it was a disaster. Trying to find a restaurant in the Mission at 9:00pm (on Saturday night of Pride Weekend) that could seat all 12 of us at the same table was like pulling teeth. See: Herbivore.
Good happy hours deals- cheaper hand rolls and some drinks (though not the ones I'd hope for)
The seaweed salad was crunchy and tasty, plus plentiful, the inari and edamame were standard ( as they should be) and the crisp cucumber cocktail was delicious (grass cocktail but, in a good way) .
The menu was quite small with few options for me, so that kind of bummed me out. I wanted something fried, alas the tempura sauce has egg.
Did get a nice buzz off one cocktail though.
I'm glad that the best sushi in the city is really close to home.
Pros:
- fun atmosphere with decent happy hour offerings until 7pm ($1.50 oysters and cheap Kirin pints and sake)
- well made, inventive rolls and high quality sashimi (try the Shiro Maguro belly!)
Cons:
- servers are scatterbrained.
***
A great meal for 2 will set you back $150 (including generous tip). It is definitely worth it.
So, it just so happens that I am living up the street from this place for the summer. I think you start to take all the gems of the Mission for granted when you live in their midst.
Toyko Go Go looks like a dive-y joint, but their fish is fresh and fantastic. Their happy hour is a great deal, and their menu is pretty diverse. You can get some creative cut rolls (go for the kamikaze, off the wall, golden gate or azteca and you'll be set) or the small plates (the salmon and tuna tatare with japanese guacomole is bomb as well as the seared hamachi kama plate) will give an equally impressive performance.
Looks may deceive, but Toyko Go Go, your taste does not.
Two thumbs up. I would give it five stars but the table service there waxes and wanes....good eats in any case.
I've been eating at the same sushi place for about two years now so I figured it would be nice to mix things up a bit and try somethng new. I was lucky enough to have a friend invite me to Go Go the other night and was thoroughly impressed. All of the rolls we had were awesome, in particular my fish doused in white truffle oil. Granted you can't really screw up anything that has truffle oil in it, but they still had super fresh fish to enhance the experience.
Minus one star for being slightly overpriced. I paid $55 for a mean that cost closer to $40 or $45 in my opinion, but I'd definitely go back.
One of the best dining experiences I've had in awhile.
Craving sushi - we walked over to Tokyo Go Go - last night.
Unfortunately they only took reservations for groups of 4, and the place was already busy. Despite the crowded room, they seated us right away at the sushi bar (which I've come to discover is always the best spot in the house).
Our sushi chef took our order immediately. He was gracious, suggested his personal favorites, and kept on checking in with us throughout the night to make sure we were content with everything.
We ordered the Tempura Himachi, the Golden Gate, the Spider Roll, and two orders of the Spicy Tuna hand rolls.
Each roll was great and melted in the mouth. The Spider Roll was particularly on point, with hot crunchy fresh crab, complemented by the fresh vegetables surrounding it.
We completed our meal with the Bonzai dessert, comprised of tempura bananas in a bento shaped dessert box, with chocolate ice-cream and whipped cream, beside a small portion of hot chocolate dipping sauce.
It was the perfect finish to our satisfying meal.
I was pleased and surprised to learn that for four wowing rolls, beer, and a delectable dessert, our whole meal came to less than 50 dollars.
Impressive speedy service, friendly warm atmosphere, and tasty food. I would definitely return to Tokyo Go Go again. I've had better sushi in SF, but as far as location, price, and service - I couldn't have been more pleased.
Next time, I'll be sure to take advantage of their happy hour specials - which apply to both rolls and certain drinks.

I've been a couple of times. I thought the sushi was pretty good and they have a good selection of sake. But it is overpriced unless you hit up happy hour.
If you're not part of the whole hipster scene in the mission the service you receive will deifinitely be sub par. That is the whole reason I have not gone back. Funny how before the dot com all the hipsters would have had their butts kicked by the residents of the nighborhood.
Really have no reason to go back especially since parking is a nightmare in the neighborhood. I will drive around for parking if a love a place (hello Tartine, Delfina) but I DO NOT love Tokyo Go Go.
Tokyo Go Go is just that, a Go Go fun of a night. I celebrated a birthday with friends nestled in the front circular booth by the window and from the moment we walked into the door it was delightful.
The drink menu -- oh let me tell you --- was divine. We started off with a Purple Haze (sake with chambord) then straight to sake with our meal.
The sushi is absolutely delicious. I'm particular about my sushi, but Tokyo Go Go takes the particular out of the equation, as they are more particular than me. So with reckless abandonment, I ordered like it was the last meal of my life and enjoyed every tasteful morsel.
What made this night memorable was the birthday cake. Our server was kind enough to bring us the most delectable assortment of desserts. Not that we needed them or even really wanted them... We loved them. If only we had sparklers to make the night.
Thanks Tokyo Go Go for making the celebration a night to remember.

My sister-in-law took me here for my birthday. She told me the best seat of the house was sitting at the bar and she wasn't kidding. The sushi was absolutely yummy, but the lychee margaritas are to die for! I would go back here just for the lychee margaritas. My favorite dish were the oysters, which betwen me and Marga, we finished off 3 plates! hahahaha. What can I say, I love oysters!
Over-all, great drinks, great sushi, great environment. I loved the bartender too, she was an absolute doll!

The happy hour handrolls are good and cheap. But I prefer the specialty items from their menu. They are delicious! At around $12 each, add drinks, and the total bill can be very pricey.
Here's a list of my favorite items so far (we usually order a few dishes to be shared in a small group):
Snake river farms kobe beef - yum!!
Tuna and salmon tartare with guacamole and chips
Miso marinated black cod
Kanpachi (amberjack) jalapeno - yummy!!
Hirame usuzukuri
Seared hamachi (yellowtail)
Azteca roll
Caterpillar roll
Fort point roll
Golden gate roll
Kamikaze roll
They always have an asian film projected on the wall next to the bar area. The place is usually super crowded and loud. Also sometimes the wait for your food can be long. The desserts are not as good, so I would skip them.

Walking down the busy corner of 16th and Valencia, I almost dare not look into the direction of Tokyo Go Go, fearing that my sushi craving would make me a follower of a highly forbidden cult known as the hipster ring. The stomach gave in, and as expected, Tokyo Go Go exhibited every element of hip, only sans loud techno music.
The food was actually really good. The mushroom salad being one of the rare and amazingly flavorful treats. Biting into the mushroom, you can close your eyes and think extremely tender pork. The same wonders can be said about truffled hirami, though a simpler combination to imagine... truffle oil and fresh, raw fluke.
Many interesting takes on traditional flavors... A true hipster joint that offers really good food. Fish was grade A the night we went. The bill on the slightly expensive side, but all in all a good time.
P.S. So I heard about a happy hour thingy with this place, too. I think that might be a more reasonable way to dine here.

Tokyo Go Go, well maybe it was just the stuff i ordered, but nothing that special, just another of those hip, modern japanese sushi joints, thats a No Go for me, picked it because it was on the bib gourmand on the michelin list in SF, but from that list... there were definitely much better choices
i've always had a great experience here. every time i reserve a table and request the one in the front by the window, i'm always accommodated. it's the best seat in the place.
the fish is very fresh, they have a pretty extensive menu, i like their roll selections, the drinks are tasty, and the sushi chefs are super cool (they always say hi & thank you when i pass by the sushi bar).
Haha I got there too early... overly excited to eat there for the first time. But they opened right on time.
The atmosphere was great, the music was good, and the service was awesome also. The rolls themselves were really good, and they came fairly fast. Definitely bringing my other friends back here to eat!
I went here to have a birthday dinner with a friend :)
To start I had the Cucumber gimlet - Very fresh tasting, perfect for drinking from the weather we just stepped out of. It was pretty strong, I did take the whole hour and a half to finish it.
My friend had a Lychee Martini - it had a strong lychee flavor. Very juicy
We shared their shrimp tempura plate, it came with sauce and a spoon full of pink Hawaiian sea salt. After sprinkling over our shrimp, the flavor of the tempura popped. It was very delicious! thumbs up.
I was impressed with the selection of sashimi fish available. There were quite a few I had never seen on a sushi menu before. We ordered Shima Aji, seared hamachi from the specialty sashimi (there was too much vinaigrette on top) a spider roll, the crab was huge and very very fresh tasting. A Scallop roll, which was awesome, the cucumber and avocado danced in my mouth!
For dessert, we ordered the green tea ice cream with shortbread cookies (kinda dry) and Yuzu cheesecake, a recommendation from the waiter...which was the best cheesecake ever! It was so good we started dancing in our seats.
While there was music, it was not overbearing. I didn't have to yell everything to my friend. The ambiance was great, low lighting.
I don't know who our real waiter was, I assumed it was a shared help kinda place. Our sushi chef mostly took care of us, we sat at the sushi bar and were served in rounds. When the chef saw we were done, he was handing us our next roll.
I would def go back, especially when its happy hour or on a date
This place is not bad for a sushi joint. Actually, I don't really think it's your typical sushi joint. It's really hip and cool here, the music is great, the servers/bartenders/sushi chefs are all trendy, the lights are dim... it doesn't look like your traditional neighborhood sushi restaurant.
Anyway, they have lots of good food that is always beautifully presented, and their drinks are yummy, too. Sit at the sushi bar and chat with the sushi chefs, they're always nice and young and Americanized and they speak English... most of them at least.
Yuzu Citrus Cheesecake... bomb ass.
I like eating fish, but I don't like fishy experiences.
It is unfortunate to report that having a drink at the bar waiting to be seated was the highlight of eating at "Tokyo No No."
The food was fair to midland but the service was what left the bad taste in our mouths. This was disappointing because I had heard good things about this place from friends. I can deal with waitstaff who are busy or overrun but not continually incompetent or slipping in an extra charge without mention.
We had to reorder the last round of rolls two additional times because our waitress forgot to put the order in the first two times. Even this would have been ok with us if she were straightforward about forgetting to put the order in. But we waited 40 minutes without our food which would aggravate even the most relaxed tables.
If that wasn't enough, when the bill came she tried to slip in an extra 3% for a health tax that none of us had ever heard of. Something about the restaurant passing the health care tax on to its patrons, which whether appropriate or not should have been announced versus quietly adding it to the bill.
Needless to say I won't be going back to this place.

We came here for happy hour on a Friday and was not impressed with the service. First of all, the matre'd was not smiling at all and did not make us (or anyone walking through that door) feel welcomed. Then after we got seated, I asked "What is considered well cocktail?" and the server said basically cheap booze. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? Even if it was made of cheap booze, you don't need to tell me right? If you're trying to get me to get other more expensive drinks, then that was the wrong way to do it. Maybe he felt that he gets less tips when our total bill is less from these "cheap drinks".
We got a couple of the happy hour handrolls and they were fairly good. However, the chefs at the sushi bar again didn't make you feel the most welcomed. I like to be in a place where the chef looks at you every now and then to see how things are and smiles at you every now and then would be nice.
Overall, the experience wasn't great. The food is decent. Since service is a big part of a good dining experience, this place deserves a 2 star.
Posh and trendy sushi spot on 16th and Valencia. I was with a group of four people and we occupied the front booth (best seat in the house) while listening to hip hop.
We enjoyed the blue fin toro nigiri from the special menu....AMAZING! That alone was worth going back for. Be sure to ask about the specials. The maki rolls were pretty good, I recommend giving the Azteca a try if you like it spicy (not too extreme) a little WOOWHOO for your mouth
The like it when you order all your sushi at once, but I suggest ordering in rounds and keeping a menu at your table.

Great drinks, great sushi, great atmosphere. It was a great way to start a long weekend in San Francisco with friends. The place was packed when we goth there, but we all had a drink at the bar and were seated fairly quickly. Can't wait to go back.
I won't go on and on about the awesome happy hour, the delicious fresh hand rolls, the attractive decor and all the other great things that have already been said about Tokyo Go Go.
What I didn't see mentioned is the Ruby Lantern cocktail. Because come on, you go for the sushi but you stay for the cocktails, right? The Ruby Lantern is seriously the tastiest cocktail I've ever had.
And I've tasted a lot of cocktails...

Good food and atmosphere. Nice mix of people. Staff is friendly and non pretentious. Many great items on the menu. Unfortunately the menu never changes so choices are limited.
The only way this place could be better would be if they had go-go dancers from Tokyo serving sushi as they shook their rumps. Well, then again, thinking how easily uncooked fish can go bad, maybe not.
