Hot Zushi

This is out go-to sushi place in SF. You can't get better than Hot Zushi. The attention is exceptional (Connie and David - the owners - are AMAZING humans)
We come here probably once or twice every couple of weeks. Sometimes we dine in and often times we pick up to go (they don't deliver).
My husband and I have made a tradition of celebration our birthdays here, and everyone that comes and tries their sushi are immediately converted into customers.

Sushi is great and fairly priced which is so hard to find in the city.
Highly recommend you order the crunchy sake, the tuna tataki, the nachos are to die for, and the sake kale is incredible. My mouth is watering just by writing this.
My husband's favorite is the jagger (only order I'd you are dining in, because to-go, it will get soggy)

The place can get crowded sometimes. Definitely worth the wait if you have to wait. The inside is nice and simple. And if you have a party, make sure you call ahead and they will make a reservation (please make sure you show up, and don't leave them hanging- a cancellation of a big party is a big deal for a small business like this)

The staff is so friendly and attentive, the woman even knows my voice it's impressive. I'm a repeat customer because the food is so great and flavorful. It's a small, nicely decorated giving it an intimate feel on the busy lower haight neighborhood. It's a nice find that I enjoy treating myself to often. You all are amazing. Be back soon

Really enjoyed this hole in the wall sushi place! From the outside, it didn't look like much and I thought it was going to be cheap, not super great sushi. Even sitting down I wasn't too impressed because it was pretty empty for a Friday night.

We ordered the Sake Kirota, Hot Stuff, and Delicious and they were really good! Same Kirota was carb free (they used a daikon instead) and it was definitely an interesting take on sushi. Personally not my favorite, but really glad I tried it and they gave pretty generous amounts of salmon. Hot stuff and delicious were really good! I was a huge fan of the tempura in the hot stuff and the delicious had a nice sweet kick that made it the perfect dessert sushi.

The waiter was also very friendly! She was smiling all the time and seemed like dish a sweet person :)

I had high expectations due to the 4.5 star rating but I was quite underwhelmed tonight compared to other sushi I've had in SF.

They were very very slow tonight. It took a few minutes to even get seated even though the restaurant was not packed. It took another 10min just to order. And at least 30min to even get our first sushi. I understand its a mom and pop operation but something has to give. Either stop taking to go orders or hire more people yaknow?

I think the sushi was also pretty average. The rice was a little hard, fish was sliced weird, everything fell apart as soon as you picked it up, and fish wasn't super fresh. But the biggest offender was the size of the rolls. It is half the size of your normal sushi spot so at first you think oh this is affordable but actually, its too expensive. I can get bigger rolls at other places for same ish price.

You know a meal is dissatisfying when you leave hungry and/or feeling like you could've made better at home. We finished all the food but 6 rolls did not even make us feel slightly full....thats how small the portions are. Smh

I thought this was a great casual dinner spot and a good value!

We paid about $60 for two people and left very full.

I'm a vegetarian and really appreciate that they had some fun unique options for rolls! I got the garden roll which I HIGHLY recommend if you are a vegetarian - the garlic eggplant on it was reallyyyyy delicious and the tempura asparagus was incredibly crispy.

I also got the buddha roll, it was just okay and I wouldn't rave about it. Honestly I would have been full with just the one garden roll.

My boyfriend got three rolls - he liked the 49ers roll the best. The other two were pretty good too!

Overall I thought this was a good place and the service was friendly.

Hmmm yes this place is affordable, but it shows in the quality of the fish and the craft. Overall a pretty mediocre sushi place that's not worth going out of your way to try.

We ordered a vegetable appetizer kale & mushroom, 4 nigiris (hamachi toro, blue fin toro, sake toro, and scallops), the Kale sake roll and the chronic roll. Everything was pretty average. The fish was fresh, yes, but also not that high quality. A lot of cuts of meat tasted pretty bland. The scallops would have been great but there was too much wasabi. The rolls were okay - they fell apart when I picked them up... I've had much better rolls at other places at similar price points.

Service was okay. We waited for an hour for our rolls to come out - could have been a busy night for them. Won't return for sure; there are way too many good sushi places in SF even at this price point.

A classic sushi restaurant with unusual rolls. The gyoza and miso were delicious. I had a Chronic roll and a Victoria's Secret roll and both were delicious! I hope to be back next time I'm in SF!

Decent sushi spot for casual dinner. Located in lower haight, place is intimate but had no issues getting seated at a table on a Friday evening.

Menu has wide variety and specialty rolls were solid. Chili Edamame was also a stand out appetizer for me. Would come again / order take out from!

This place is so great! It's a close walk from my house and have ordered take out multiple times. They have so many great rolls, fresh fish and great service. Def a great spot to get some sushi!!

Great cheap sushi spot and vegetarian friendly! They have several appetizer selections, some noodles, but mostly sushi. For vegetarians there are around 5-10 options, that are more than just the bare minimum avocado and cucumber rolls. The prices are super reasonable and the interior is nice and clean. Saw some regulars that sit at the bar to read a book.
