This review is technically for the Eat24Hours delivery I got from Sudachi.
Delivery was prompt and the food was cheap. I ordered ridiculously cheap uni (I know, dangerous) and a salmon tempura roll. I think it would have been better if (a) the delivery guy hadn't ran from his car with my bag of food and pretty much scattered the uni everywhere, and (b) the sushi were colder, but that was also probably delivery guy's fault for a warm car. Hard to tell.
Overall, great deal, great hours. -

Got takeout for work dinner here. Didn't have the highest expectations as I usually don't trust any restaurant that serves from different ethnicities. But my coworkers wanted it and I am always down to try anything once.
Ordered the 10/17 roll and the aloha roll. Sushi was probably 2.5 stars. But everything on the sushi menu has tempura, cream cheese or some sauce. It was tasking to find any rolls that were basic. Personally I don't like all that and like my sushi more OG. But I know some people like that very Americanized sushi.
Also got the Korean BBQ ribs which they call a special. I noticed the delivery man was Korean so I had an optimistic outlook. The ribs were cooked fine but nothing that blew me away. Your staple Korean ribs served with rice and side salad.
Also got the Jap Chae as a side and it was awful. I don't think it was prepared correctly. It was overly packed with garlic and lacked any other complementary favors. We ended up not eating it.
Overall, Sudachi gets by but nothing to write home about. The bright points are that it is pretty affordable and they deliver. -

dirt cheap sake bombs and beer! $2!
dont get the cocktails though, they are like juice!
got a spider roll and appreciated the fact that it was not covered in a mayonaisey sauce. it also had good amounts of avocado also!
minus one star for not having hard alcohol and serving beer at room temperature. -

Great spot with good food! Friendly staff, but unfortunately the kitchen was a bit slow bringing out our food. At least the staff noticed that and the chef sent out an additional appetizer on the house. Everything that we got was very good and perfect to share for 2:
10/17 Roll
Crab Tartar Chip
Sushi Taco - filled with lots of seafood
Beef Bulgogi Burger - YUM! very tasty. the dipping sauce that came on the side was amazing too! -

Okay, let's be real here.
Who comes here for the food? All throughout college I've heard people say, "Oh man I want to get WASTED tonight. Who's down for Sudachis?!" Or Sudachi would be synonymous with the words "sake bomb". Not once did I hear, "I heard their unagi was pure deliciousness and the catch of the day is something to be had!"
No, none of that.
Sudachi to me means let's effing rage with a bunch of Sapporos, let the sake flow like a broken dam and not remember a damn thing for the rest of the night! Which is convenient because you're literally a block away from Polk Street. Yay! Drunken good times all around. And plus the drinks are super cheap and the sake bombs that you're probably going to order whilst under the influence thus resulting in you buying a whole round for your friends won't hurt your bank account too much. Also, the servers are pretty much used to the drunken antics of 20-somethings that barrage their establishment, so be courteous and realize they have to spend the weekends dealing with our behavior.
All in all, it's not much of a classy place by any means but if you're looking for a cheap yet fun time and want to fill up your bellies before partaking in any activity that requires some soaking up of excess alcohol (which I would highly recommend that you do), Sudachi is good place to go to off Polk St. Parking of course is a difficulty, especially on weekend nights, but we got lucky when we arrived there around 10:30 or so, that is before the night truly begins. -

0 stars.
Not for the food or drinks, which were considerably average, but for the horrible choice of staff that represents Sudachi!! When I was leaving, I saw a waitress exit the building and round house KICK a brand new parked BMW belonging to one of the customers inside. Not that I'm the most mature person out there, but that was really childish even for my standards. Worst of all, she represented her employer while doing it.
Doubt I'm gonna come back here. With all the choices San Francisco has to offer, I'll definitely be at another spot where the staff is professional and mature. -

Eaten here twice and had delivery once.
Mon-Wed everything is 30% off, food and drinks, which is an amazing deal.
The spicy sashimi bowl which comes with miso, spicy sashimi salad, lobster salad are all amazing. The salmon kastaburi (I'm sure I butchered that) is breaded which was disappointing (it states this in their menu but not online if ordering delivery) but still tasty. Delivery service was decent and didn't take an obscene amount of time and food came fresh. Service is hit or miss, some nights there is one waitress others there are more but the sushi is definitely really great. Ambiance is nice, kind of dark with wall painted black, with a large bar in the back and usually a game playing big screen style on the wall. The pinot noir isn't bad either ;) -

How have I not written a review on this place yet? Have I lost my mind!? I love eating here. The rolls are quite generous, the quality is lovely and the price is just right. I must also mention that any place that serves pitchers of quality beer at a very low price is A OK in my book.
I also love how it is right off of Polk, so you can bar hop very easily after stuffing your belly with good eats... oh wait, did I mean that the other way around? -

If you wanna be drunk on a Saturday afternoon, this is your spot! $2 sake bombs-- that shit creeps, so be careful! There's some other sangria cocktail too, but it tastes like juice.
The rolls were really good and there was a big variety-- however, they were all pretty much the same, give or take one ingredient.
And I overall liked the vibe of the place. It looks like it could be a good date spot. -

You remember how they had those memory erasers in Men In Black? Sake bombs have the same affect on me...
I came here to celebrate passing the bar exam and I ended up drinking enough to forget everything I ever learned. The bar area is huge here and they have a DJ on the weekends so this is a really fun place to start the night. The sake bombs are cheap, which is very dangerous.
Luckily after pounding an excessive amount of sake and beer I managed to stay out of trouble that night... I didn't want my first client to be myself.Listed in: A quest to find the best sushi…

Japanese food!
CLEANLINESS: 4/5
SERVICE: 3/5
FOOD: 3/5
+ Chicken Katsu Donburi
When I first walked in, it seemed like any other Japanese restaurant (minus the calm/soothing atmosphere). Our group decided to sit in the tatami room, which was a small dinky area enclosed by glass walls. Note: Do not sit in this room if you want to have a comfortable meal. It was stuffy and very uncomfortable.
As for the food, the chicken katsu donburi was pretty good. Nothing too special. My friends ordered some rolls, which looked pretty good. The happy hour specials for drinks was a good deal, so we did a couple of sake bombs! Woohoo!
Unfortunately, we had a really loud table right next to us and they kept screaming and dancing around to the point where it got annoying. I guess that happens a lot around here because the employees didn't say a word.
If you're looking to grab some Japanese food and go wild and crazy... I guess this is your spot. -

I wasn't impressed with the decor. Of course that doesn't matter since there are tons of hole's in the wall where the food is FABULOUS. I said I wasn't going to judge. So we sit and start looking through the menu, WOWzers! Overwhelming, In my opinion...way to many choices. Burgers? Ok, back to ordering sushi..Sudachi Roll was very good, Sashimi was fresh, Spicy tuna was good. I'm over it. I've had better. Sayonara!!

When I walked in, it smelled like bleach but not in a good way. Like old mop bucket bleach. I felt uneasy.
It's not the prettiest place. Dark inside, the tables aren't in the best condition. I was afraid to go to the restroom but luckily it was clean!
The food was fine. Nothing spectacular. Liked to the kimchi and the $2 sake bombs on Saturday.
Not dying to go back. -

my first time here wasnt the best but then i came back. they have a great selection of sushi rolls and they are pretty big. they have a huge projector screen that shows sports. (started coming here to watch the Giants and now like to go and watch the Warriors) they have really strong drinks which is always a plus. i love their music. its like all 90's R&B and every song there is like "thats my jam!" overall great experience. i just wish i could go there, drink, eat, dance, and watch sports. this place is really growing on me. -

Drove all the way out to the bay for a friend's bday celebration. I don't know why she picked the Sudachi to have her bday dinner. My frist impressions was dang this place is small & crowed. It looks tacky and dirty but I guess for the price of the food fits the lay out and decor of the place. The service was ok. I kept having to ask for water. The food was... ummm my honest opinion, not as good. I had better, prettier looking sushi rolls. I want to see my food to look like the Chef/cook poor his soul into making it... passion. I didn't see that in the rolls at all and so I'm sorry to say. Since I'm also a huge fan of Korean curisine and I heard so much about mixing up Korean food with Mexican food I also decided to taste their Bulgogi quesadilla. I was very dissappointed. The bulgogi meat didn't taste as how it's suppose to taste. There were veggies in the quesadilla along with the cheese. Over all the place was ok... Will I ever come back? probably not, just because I live in Sacramento and if I do go back to the bay area. I would love to try other restaurants out.

The food is not that great, but the booze are a good price. This place likes to deep fry everything, even their sushi rolls. If I had known this prior to coming here, I would have just gone to KFC.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get their date drunk for cheap, and come off as a complete douche bag while doing so. Don't forget your hair gel and pin striped colored button up. You can't do a 'sake bomb' without it. -
Review from N H.

More like 2.5 stars.
Drank here once, eaten + drank here another time. The first time was fine, cheap sake bombs, good atmosphere, ok service, not friendly, but prompt. 3.5 stars for that experience.
But then last week we had a group dinner where we were hoping to have some "ok" food and drinks to start off the night. We showed up five minutes past our reservation time, and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. When we were seated, it took 30 minutes before anyone asked us for our order. When we finally ordered, half the order came out wrong. For our table of six, we also ordered 4 sake sangrias, which were nothing more than store-bought juice and sake. What really ticked us off, is that they would bring out one glass, then ten minutes later a second glass, ten minutes later a third glass, and ten minutes later our fourth glass. The tempura was heavily battered and super greasy. The sushi was nothing special, but that was to be expected. The rolls that came to us were not what we ordered, so its hard to accurately evaluate them. The sashimi combo special is seared albacore, tuna, salmon, and hamachi, not really special. Half the time I was trying to wave down a server to fix our order, and the manager saw this, but did nothing, until I literally had to wave him down and demand some service.
Might venture back for drinks but never again for dinner. -

I've been here a couple of times actually.
The first time I went, I noticed a soapy smell in the restaurant. I don't know what it was, maybe the kind of soap they use to wipe the place? but it was not appetizing. Since that visit, the smell hasn't been that strong, but it's still kinda there.
My faves would be the spicy tuna burger and fries. My friends and I love their fries!!! It's like KFC Wedges, but better!I liked the burger, for the $8.something price, I think it was worth it.
I also love their seafood udon. Yum yum! :)
They have a huge selection of rolls and the ones I've tried have been okay. Parking is somewhat challenging especially on weekends. I'd probably go here if it was somewhere else like on Geary or the inner sunset.
They also have a huge projector by the entrance behind the sushi bar. They have japanese style tables, you know where you sit on the floor. -

Went here for a friend's bday the other day because they had $2 Sake bombs (ALL day saturday!) and we were heading to the bars just down the street.
Pros: Sake bombs= $2, fun atmosphere, waiters/waitresses were pretty attentive..they even asked to take a pic of us so we can be featured on their wall, and food was okay priced
Cons: DO NOT stay in the tatami room...it was SO stuffy in there..i even had to step outside to take a breather every now and then, there is also NO hole to dangle your feet/legs...we were all basically playing tetris with our legs so we could all be comfy, parking sucks (we weren't one of the lucky ones to steal a parking space near the restaurant), food was oookay...nothing special
I would come here more often if parking wasn't so bad, but it's a bit far for me and a little too much of a hassle to go for $2 sake bombsListed in: Girls just wanna have fun!

This place is amazing! You can find me there every Thursday for $4 large sake and saturday for $2 sake bombs! Im not even a huge sake fan but I leave this place messed up everytime! The bartenders are really chill and sometimes will even take a shot with you. Sometimes it takes a minute to catch their attention so order a few rounds at a time. The sushi here is pretty good and their fries and sauce are amazing! But the main reason I started coming here is the MUSIC! On thursdays they play hiphop/ r&b and pair it with some nick at night on the big screen and saturdays start off with chill music and ends with a party. Highly recommend this place even if its just a for a quick drink before you go to your next destination.
Overall provides a chill night and even a little dancing/karaoke! -
Review from Eric H.

The food was okay, quality and freshness of the fish (tried yellowtail, salmon, soft shell crab), and the temperature, consistency, and taste of the sushi rice I would say puts this place in the same category as a chain sushi restaurant such as California Roll and Sushi. The nori served to us was kinda damp.
The downside is that things are very expensive for what you get. And quantity doesn't make up for the lack in quality either, since for about ten bucks you only get six pieces of some of the specialty rolls. I came here with a $10 for $20 worth of sushi Groupon gift certificate just to find out everything was double the price of what it's worth! What's the point? -

This place gave me the creeps. I should have just forfeited the groupon I had purchased and skip this experience after being met with a fishy smell at the door. It's dark in a spooky way inside and the floor is sticky from spilled beer. I've been in my share of dive joints but this didn't have the charm others do. The waiter was unable to answer questions about what was on the menu. We had to ask for a new pitcher of beer when ours was flat. They were nice about it, but really? Serving flat beer. The food wasn't memorable. I'd rather go to sushi rock for bad sushi and sake bombs. At least it is cleaner and well lit.

If you're thinking of going to Sudachi, look around groupon or living social to see if they have a deal for this place, because they offer it pretty often ;) *hint*
This is actually my favorite sushi place in the city and the food is pretty good. The menu is a mix of Korean and Japanese dishes so you have a variety to choose from.
I usually order the Macadamia Roll and it is DELICIOUS. (I always order this roll when I go there). The rolls are nice and big so you're getting your moneys worth. (expect this one day when went where the rolls were puny, but it was just a one time thing.)
I also tried one of the burgers before and they're pretty good. They come with fries and they're also nice and crispy.
I will definitely be coming back to this place when I crave sushi. -
Review from Deep S.
We not talkin bout Focchi, we talkin bout Sudachi...get it thru yr head ya hear me!!!!!!!
Roll in here on a Friday Night it was more packed than Oprah's plate at Sweet Tomatoes on a Friday night Ya-Na-Wha-Mean...We even called ahead but still waited like 20 mins before we got a seat. Place is pretty slim but super long, there have plenty of tables for big parties they had a DJ playin some nice Hip-Hop music and they have a bar area where you can sit and wait, no real waiting area as we just stood in a group of 8 crowding the door, but anywho let's talk bout that food at Sudachi that got me so gra-uchi!!!
So we start off with water and unlimited supply of Saki bombs, which i really don't care for taste like cheap watered down liquor. It was a busy night so it took sometime to get our order in, but I had no idea it was going to take me 30 mins to get my Korean Steak, everybody was done eating and I still had not gotten my food, now that's messed up (maybe cuz I was the only dark fellow there, haterz)...anyways the steak was horrible, it tasted like ground beef, the sauce on it was ok and it came salad and rice, but overall would never order again. The Sushi rolls there were bring out were really good and I tasted the Love Roll and it was delicious. Somebody else order BBQ Chicken, didn't taste that great.
So if you come here my advise is, order Sushi or some type of rolls cuz they don't know how to make anything else!!! -

This place is really awesome. We were in a loud obnoxious group (saturday night before Halloween) and the service was fabulous. We had this super cute little blonde gal who was so helpful and laid back at the same time.
The sake was good, the rolls were good, the soup was good. I drank but not a lot. -

Large menu, cheap booze and open late. We tried several rolls, kimchi udon and the chef's special hamachi because they were out of hamachi kama. I really disliked the texture, temperature and taste of the hamachi, but everything else was from fine to good.
I'd get the kmichi udon again when sick, and the various spicy tuna/tempura shrimp rolls were all large and decent. It's not great food but I could see it being pretty festive if I was drinking with a large group. -

I'd like to address John B.'s review of one star. It was actually his review that made me want to visit Sudachi (that, and there aren't any other sushi options near me at the wonderful late hour Sudachi is open).
1. Anyone who reviews not one, but two different Starbucks with five stars does not really know what they're talking about.
2. He says one word describes Sudachi: creepy. I'm supposing this person hangs out only at Starbucks and Wall-Mart and must not even live in the City because if he thinks Sudachi is creepy, the guy's got some living to do. I might describe it as "urban".
3. I saw no one in the joint that looked at all seedy. Maybe I was the seedy person, which is fine with me. At least I have some culinary taste.
4. No one seemed drunk and "loud and aggresive" AT ALL. It was late on a Tuesday night and everything was chill and cozy.
5. Nothing was dirty. It's not the Fleur de Lys, it's a late-night sushi joint.
6. The staff was nice and superfast. It's no frills, but they get it done.
7. My favorite part of John B.'s review:
"Don't get me wrong, I like to have a good time and party, but I don't want to be involved in some sort of police raid when I'm trying to get some sushi and sake and have a good time with friends.
Also, I don't really like to party with convicts and High School Students!"
Seriously, John? A police raid? Convicts? I was laughing so hard when I read this that I had to go to Sudachi that very night.
I will say that the sushi is A-OK. My favorite sushi in the City is Sanraku, but that spot is expensive and was closed. The roll selection was enormous and fun (lots of "how did they think of that?" concoctions).
Overall, a good meal at a fine price.
John makes Sudachi sounds like some kind of John Waters movie, and part of me wishes it was for people-watching alone, but it's really, truly, not. -

So today I ordered delivery from Sudachi. After reading the reviews about their delivery, I was nervous about how bad it was going to turn out because I read the reviews after I made the order (Stupid, I know.)
I put in the order at 5:04pm and it arrived at 5:34 EXACT. 30 mins! Wow! I was surprised. I was definitely happy about that. I was still alittle worried about the food. I ordered the Tuna Tar tare Chips, Pork Bulgogi, Hamachi Kama, and a couple of other things. WOW!! Everything was good!.. My boyfriend was definitely happy. I think everyone who was not happy about their delivery should definitely give them a second chance.
Thank you Sudachi for making my tummy happy! I will definitely order from you again.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Maybe it was because I was sober but Im not a fan.
Eats:
Dynamite Roll
What the Heck Roll
Spicy Tuna Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
The dynamite roll was definitely different from any other place I've tried...but not in a good way... it tasted "off" to me. The flavors of carmelized onion totally clashed with the freshness of sushi in my mouth...
What the heck roll was decent but for $15 it better have been!
Spicy Tuna Burger was blehh. It was not spicy at all and had a strange texture. I liked the sweet potato fries though but I always like fries so thats not enough to make me visit for awhile.
The area is sketchy, we parked in an alleyway nearby and it was scary! -

Holy crap, the service here sucks. My friends and I came here on a Friday night at 930. Full restaurant, great party vibe, and DJs that were spinning an awesome mix. So why the hell is there only a single dingbat waitress working the entire restaurant? And I say dingbat because a more competent server would have made things a lot smoother. But alas, a few missing drinks and food orders later, we left knowing we would never set foot back in the place again.

SO disappointed! I should have read the reviews BEFORE we ordered. We were dying for Korean BBQ. (delivery was FAST though!)
APP:
Asian Wings FOR $7.95 Deep-fried chicken sauteed in sweet and spicy sauce.
Basically DRIED OUT ckn drum with tasty sauce though.
DINNER 1
Korean Steak- DRY DRY DRY and absolutely NO FLAVOR, and I am not exaggerating! DRY RICE and DRY SALAD. The lettuce was great, but they didn't serve it with anything! No salad dressing? Really? OMG, I thought I was being punked.
DINNER 2
Asparagus Beef. NO SAUCE, It looked like we could use it as a dart. Dried out beef, wrapped over over-cooked asparagus and again, NO SAUCE! The salad that came with it was good, lettuce and some house dressing.
We didn't eat, we threw it out. My daughter spit out the beef. She is 4.5 hasn't had enough time to be critical, so take it from her at least! I do not like to write bad reviews, in fact I usually give places a chance and form my own opinion. From now on, I will read reviews here and on Yelp. I can't afford to go out all the time and make mistakes like this. These restaurants need to read reviews and make some changes! Watch Kitchen Nightmares! Sorry will never order from here again. Too bad, their menu sounds so inviting. But like one reviewer wrote, specialize in one or the other. You can't have a huge menu, one side sushi, the other Korean BBQ. Ask Gordon Ramsey! Hope this is helpful! -

Now that I've got a few years on me since my last review, I've realized what a shhh show this place can be. Yeah, it's cool for college students- but really, do they even card anyone who goes in here? Stopped coming when I saw some really, reallllly young looking girls drunkingly dancing on the bar (she was either standing on the bar or standing on a chair at the bar). Not that I'm against girls dancing on bars or anything-- but thats where my sushi was served for me to eat 10 mins later :/
All being said, still a great and cheap place to grab a drink any night of the week. Just be prepared for the youngins' to start pouring in post 10pm.Listed in: Recession Friendly Happy Hours, Places to find the essentials…

Good sushi, good sake, but terrible service! However it wasn't our waitresses fault! She had the entire restaurant, including our party of about 20. Half of us are waiters and we understand that you get busy, but in situations like this the management needs to step in and help out! Some of us didn't even get to order entrees because she could only take a few orders and had to leave to the next table! It simply wasn't worth waiting for. Even ordering a drink was a 20 minute process. There is only so much one person can do! Poor management led to a poor dinning experience!

I've walked past this place so much, and the main thing that caught my eye were the super duper cheap drink specials...like $2 Sake Bombs all day Saturday? Wow. I had also heard that there was this upbeat fun Sushi bar on Polk st, and I simply had not put the two and two together. My friend and I decided to go here, because she told me that the Sushi was really good. Omg so true. The first item I ordered was the Baked Mussels in a Half Shell. They were huge and delicious. Definitely a fan and I will order them again.
In terms of rolls, we ordered the Geisha Roll, which was the absolute winner- baked baby lobster with eel sauce over a california roll. It was heavenly to say the least. We also ordered the Tasmin Roll, which was Mango and asparagus roll topped with salmon, lemon and creamy mayo sauce. Definitely a little tart and they left the peel on the lemon, so it made consuming it mildly awkward. After that, we ordered the Spicy Scallop Roll, which was also super tasty. Lastly we shared the Mochi balls. Always a good ending to a Sushi night.
We went on a Thursday, so there was $2 Sake, yup cheap. I loved the club like music they were playing and the fact that all of the waitresses were dressed up in Halloween costumes. A fun vibe for sure. It would be a good call to start a night out at this place!
