I'm sitting at my computer in Los Angeles dreaming about getting on a plane to fly to San Francisco for dinner at Sushi Bistro.
The last time I was there I got the ahi poke salad, the Dave's legacy and the fried green tea ice cream.
All were so good I'm drooling. -

OMG I love this place! This is my favorite/only non-authentic sushi place everrrr! Don't get turned off just because its not authentic Japanese. That's the point, their rolls are so unique and creative and different but they taste realllyyyy good. Two things I order whenever I come out there: Butterfish Blasters and C-2 (baby lobster).
The place is pretty small but nice ambiance. Lots of parking if you know how to look.
My goal this year: to try every single dish in their menu. =) -
Review from Wendy L.

What do you mean AHI TUNA POKE is an appetizer????? I can eat 3 of those as my entree. Fresh fish with mixed greens, slices of avocado and crispy fingerling potato strips tossed in a delicious but not too heavy dressing. So good, so crunchy and a little addicting...please try this it will not disappoint. (see picture)
Butterfish Blasters are my second favorite dish here. They have really creative names for their dishes by the way. The garlic-soy dressing combined with the freshness of the butter fish melts right in your mouth. (see picture)
We also tried the Magic Mushrooms which were good as well. If you enjoy mushrooms this is a fried mushroom medley with a hint of sweet and spicy flavor.
The reason why this place is not 5 stars is because the maki/rolls were not on par with their sashimi/appetizer/small plates. It might be the ones I ordered but I tried 3 different rolls and they were all meh. Perhaps they will come up with more creative rolls like their appetizers.
We finished off with the green tea fried ice cream. It was sliced into 6 pieces...a lot easier to share because most other places serve this in one scoop. (see picture)
The atmosphere is casual and the crowd is fairly young here. I came here on a weekday night with 6 and we were seated immediately. The dishes came out pretty fast and the service was great. Almost forgot to mention that this place is totally affordable and decently priced. -

Asahi Black Beer?? I never knew such a thing existed! And yes, it was perfect.
Fuji Apple inside a sushi roll?? Unconventional- but dynamic in flavor and absolutely delicious. Just try it.
You don't come to Sushi Bistro because you want a Rainbow Roll. You come here because you want rolls that are delightfully unique. Because you appreciate a quiet neighborhood and a parking spot. And you know a Japanese black beer is a rare find.
I love this place.1 Previous Review: Show all »

nice decor and intimate atmosphere with unique and somewhat delicious rolls but small portions. Most dishes are around ~$14 each and are of appetizer size. Good and attentive service.
Hot Love
more like an appetizer for 2 that included some lobster/crab and was wrapped with avocado, lemon, and some spices. Good presentation and decently tasting.
butterfish blaster
6 pieces of crab and avocado wrapped in butterfish. Again it was a good appetizer but not really a main course. It was a little fishy but I liked it more than the hot love.
teriyaki beef with vegetables
The best bang for your buck dish that we got. Had pan fried beef with sauce drizzled on top of a bed of more than generous amounts of vegetables that would make a vegetarian happy. Plain and simple main course dish.
udon with tempura
sweet and msg broth with udon and pieces of tempura that became soggy in the soup. This dish was plain and simple; nothing too special or exciting.
As future yelper Cassie K stated, we could have probably gone to komes (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) with the amount of money we paid. I would have to agree with her. -

Sushi for white people. Ya.
Lots of weird vegetarian options, brown rice instead of white rice inside the rollls, soy wrapper instead of seaweed, stuff like that.
Had two orders of unagi nigiri, this was the cheapest, and the best out of everything we ordered.
Udon and roll [forgot which it was] not worth mentioning.
Here you will find the WORST chicken teriyaki in all of SF. Funny because this was the most expensive dish. The chicken strips were tiny, extremely dry, and tasteless. Get it if you like eating sandpaper. Yep..
Super expensive for mediocre food. Around 60 before tip for all that crap. Portions are not large at all. -
Review from Lien T.

It isn't like Sushi Bistro needs another glowing review, but I just have to add my two cents. So here it goes...
I came here for a dinner date with my favorite boy. We didn't have dinner reservations, but luckily there was a table available for two. Like most restaurants in San Francisco, Sushi Bistro was really small in size. I think they could have used bigger tables, but oh well...we made the best of our tiny table for two.
We ordered a total of six dishes (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and two beers each. What I really didn't like was how our table was so small. We couldn't fit all of our food and our waiter was really terrible with pacing. He kept bringing out plate after plate and I felt very rushed. There was literally no space on our table and instead of giving us some time to enjoy our food, he would stand at our table and wait for us to rearrange the plates somehow so that he could fit the next plate.
On a lighter note, the sashimi and rolls were fantastic. My most favorite roll of the night was the butter blaster (http://www.yelp.com/bi...). It was the most tasteful roll I have ever had. It consisted of snow crab meat and avocado, wrapped with butterfish. The butterfish was very rich and soft--I just couldn't get enough of it. I also really liked the yellowtail belly (http://www.yelp.com/bi...); it was the most rich tasting sashimi I have ever tasted. Don't get me wrong, everything was absolutely amazing, but those two were the highlight of our dinner.
Our bill came out to be a little over $100, which was fairly reasonable for the excellent quality and taste of the food.
P.S.
Cheers to my 500th review! ;D -

Sushi Bistro is by far my favorite sushi place in San Francisco. Their rolls are amazing, and the most amazing of all: Hot Love roll. (lobster/crab cooked with eel sauce) .
Even my parents loved this place.
I come back as much as I can.
The only caveat: Make sure to make a reservation first, as this place is always packed. -

I am a sushi whore. There I said it. One of my new years resolutions is to try every sushi place in SF and I'm working my way down the list starting with Sushi Bistro! Given the fact that I live five blocks from here, I figured I had to try it. It's been rated in the Michelin Guide which is a great sign.
Made a reservation for 7:15 on a Tuesday night and they were actually pretty busy for an early weekday night. Great location, great ambiance and really great service overall.
My friend and I ordered some beers and three rolls. We had the sexy scallop roll, the crouching tiger hidden dragon and another great one with a clever name. Very fresh fish and just really good taste all around. I will definitely be coming back here very soon. I'm wondering if they have a happy hour here too, would be amazing if they did! -

Holy SHIT this place was good !!
Came here for dinner, and early dinner, right after it opened. Didn't get any sashimi or nigiri, as the person I was with doesn't (think she) likes raw fish (but she's never tasted any, so...). We had several makizushi that were *out of this world*. We ordered from the "special selections" part of the menu (i.e., not traditional rolls, their inventions I would guess). Several vegetarian, one with cooked fishes. Yummmmmm.
Also had the sesame chicken (deep fried) and we HAD to order the cucumber salad after tasting the miniscule "free appetizer" they give you.
Seriously some of the tastiest rolls I've ever had in over 25 years. Definitely not traditional rolls that you would get in Japan, but very tasty. Dinner for two, with tax and tip was $50. A tad expensive (well, maybe not for sushi, and now that I think about it, not for SF). Let's say instead that it was not inexpensive.
I'll be stopping by again next time I'm in the area and want to treat myself. -

This is a cute sorta trendy sushi place in the inner richmond. The price is a bit more than I'd like to pay for sushi but it seems pretty typical for an SF sushi place. I really like that they offer brown rice sushi along with a rice paper instead of seaweed option.
I highly recommend the brown rice for at least one of your rolls. I'm indifferent about the rice paper though.
Sashimi is fresh and they had some really unique and tasty specialty rolls as well as very well-done usual rolls (rainbow, gragon roll etc)
Right across the street is a jankier and much cheaper sushi. I would go there for a quick sushi bite and save Sushi Bistro for an occasion. -

Wow! I am surprised about all these 4 star reviews. When my GF and I walked in, we were seated instantly. The service was excellent, but the food was not so great. We ordered the gyoza, the scallops, and a roll. I would have ordered a combination box, but the thing is they don't offer it here. That's a first... The plating was pretty nice, except my scallops had some things on it that were questionable to me. It appeared to look as if the whiskers from shrimp had been plucked and put on the scallops as decoration. Cool right? Well not if I'm allergic to shrimp. Oh well, no big deal. I just picked them off and ate it. The scallops should be called "Soy Sauce Scallops" because they were overpowered with some type of salty sauce. The menu said they were "seared" but i felt and tasted no sear at all. As for the gyozas, they were not crispy, but felt soggy.
As for the check..they added a sushi roll that 1) we did not order and 2) they don't even sell that roll anymore. Epic fail. I'm not one to care much about the bill but this place was pretty pricy and did not fill me up. Won't be coming here again! -

Sushi Bistro. OH MY GOD.
im so glad a couple of friends and i stumbled across this place, because i don't regret the 90 bones i spent here.
I'm thinking the experience we had was because of the time we got there-- right when it opened.
the food was super good, no doubt, definitely worth all of my money.
everything came out fast, which it should have, because we were 3 of the 7 people in there.
the waiter, or whoever helped us didn't really make any conversation. but then again, as long as i got my food i was fine.
either way... 5 stars for all around a very good time! -

When you're craving those delicious, gigantic, sauce-covered trendy LA rolls, head over to Sushi Bistro where you have a long list of awesome options to choose from! They have beers on tap, sake, and some interesting cocktails (I think?).
I was impressed by the quality of the yellowtail appetizer I got, although it's difficult to judge the fish quality in the sushi. It was delicious though!
$35 for 3 rolls, and an appetizer. I will be back and can't wait to try out their Mission location! -

This place was not bad, I know I've had better sushi though. I tried a few of their speciality rolls but wasn't too impressed, felt as though it needed more to it. The environment was nice though and located in an OK area, not too hard to find. The waiters/ waitress were very friendly though and service was pretty speedy. Overall I rates it due to the food, if it had more specialty rolls that wowed me I would have rated it higher. Maybe I'll try it another time to give it more of a chance.
Sushi as good as some tushi! -

Certainly not offensive food, but average at best.
Nigiri and Sashimi not super fresh. Some of the fish slices were shredded as opposed to a nice slice cut. Had a couple of rolls which were all nondescript in flavor.
Service was ok. Many better options at $50+/pp (only had one beer and a tea).
What's up with the bussing station out in the open at the end of the bar??? -

Not your mom n pop sushi house. More your Americanized, dark and trendy date spot, which means you won't get sake on the house or off-the-menu specials, but you can request brown rice with any roll (major clutch!) while watching football on the bigscreen TV. It was bustlin on a Tuesday at 8:30pm, so call ahead.
FOOD: [Fresh, creative, reasonably priced big rolls with lots of fish]
I dig they have a veggie roll menu section that's actually creative... sun-dried tomatoes, shitake mushrooms, etc. My friend had the asparacado roll that came with this bomb garlic onion aioli we ended up dipping everything into.
The menu itself is pretty creative--combinations you generally wouldn't see: albacore/yellowtail (monster-in-laws), lobster/salmon (billie jean), spicy scallop/white tuna (sexy scallop--which I had. Delicious, but get it without Sriracha). I like that they still have classic rolls too and that the sushi comes rolled in different ways: no rice, brown rice, nori, soy paper, etc.
SERVICE/AMBIANCE: [Too rushed, pretty noisy]
The tables could be further apart, it's pretty noisy, and I felt really rushed by the service. They cleaned our plates right as we were finishing, gave us the bill when we didn't ask/hardly waited for it, and cleaned our edamame dish when there were at least 3 edamame left (hey, I wanted them!) It wasn't like there were people waiting for the tables either. Though rushed overall, my roll came out a good 5 minutes after my friend's (no bueno). -

Butterfish alone is worth the trip!
Service was excellent. Nice lady (think her name was Mel) brought us our orders fast, place was packed, got sat down fast.
Got extra napkins when we asked (always a plus)
Sushi, sake bombs, and Japanese beer makes for a wonderful time here!
Will be going many more times. Maybe 5 more times. Definitely 5 stars. -

Great restaurant! We came here with my girlfriend and her brothers and everybody inhaled their food!
I like the location, right in the heart of inner Richmond with a few good stores right across from it.
The only think i can suggest to them as well as other Asian style cuisines is simplifying the menu. One page of your best stuff that's all we ask for!
Other than that I'd definitely like to try out some of their other appetizers. -

I can't believe there are reviews on here that are less than 5 stars - I think those folks must have gone to a different sushi restaurant.
Sushi Bistro has the best sushi in San Francisco - I love to take my friends here who are both local and from out of town - everyone LOVES it.
The service is exceptional and the sushi is fresh and delicious!! To top it off, it is owned by a family who lives right here in the neighborhood.
Fun bonus - if you go on a semi regular basis and drink sake - they give you your own sake box to decorate/use when you are there. Delightful!
Love. Love. Love. Sushi Bistro. -

Went here with my roommate who raved about this place all the time. Too bad I was very dissapointed. The service was really not that good (the cooks in the back were really nice though) and it's kind of pricey to get sushi. There are so many other places in SF and in the South Bay that are way tastier and better deals. I'm not coming back.

I loooove Sushi Bistro! The rolls are all just okay, but points for creativity. For their category of crazy American style rolls, they definitely have more creative rolls than your standard California Roll, Rock n Roll, Lion King, Dragon Roll or what have you. Nothing wrong with those types, but it's refreshing to see a new take on sauced up maki rolls. Unlike other maki rolls, these are not on steroids but you still get stuffed.
You get generous slices of sashimi here. I especially love their shiro maguro and butterfish. Their butterfish is amazing.
If you think their prices are a little more than what you normally pay, I assure you that it's worth your money, not just in quality but quantity. -
Review from Jiordan C.
San Francisco, CA
Five stars seems a bit much, but I really like Sushi Bistro. They have great vegetarian sushi options (cheaper, and made with brown rice), as well as tons of regular options for fish-lovers like myself. The rolls are packed with delicious bits of everything (crab on top, avocado rolled in, whatever) and the presentation is nice too.
Not too pricey. Not great, but not terrible. I've been here a few times and it's a good deal if you're sharing rolls with a few people. And the names are so cute! One of my favorite rolls? Billie Jean. It's got to be somewhere around 12 bucks.
The servers are friendly - not at all overbearing or absent. The vibe is trendy... spacious, but intimate as far as table set-up. It's a really good place to bring friends or visiting family members any night. -

Sushi Bistro is more on the trendy side...I can see it catering to younger adults.
I came to dinner with a friend and we got seated right away...beat the dinner rush! The restaurant felt really cold inside, so be sure to wear something warm!
We ordered 2 orders of the half shell oysters and the Sexy Scallop, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the New Legend Roll.
My favorite was the New Legend Roll.. Its taste took me by surprise. It looked so simple, but tasted warm and had this special sauce on top that was nothing I've ever tasted before. I'm sure the rest of the rolls were just as good, which is really creative.
I'd say this is probably one of the better places for sushi for a good price. -

Sushi Bistro was my first sushi experience. Ever. I let my friend order and we ended up having the Albacore Dream, Billie Jean, Watermelon Man, and Magic Mushrooms. They were all so good! I've been scared for years to try sushi and have stuck with veggie rolls until Sushi Bistro. I ate everything!!! yummmmm.

3.5 stars. This place was just okay. The food was mediocre. The service was nice.
Came for dinner. We were seated right away for 4 people. Ordered the chicken teriyaki with vegetable tempura, the udon, the california rolls, and 2 other rolls (halibut and salmon). The food came out really quickly, but nothing spectacular about any dishes. However, I don't think the price was really worth it for the food..I've definitely had better. -

i was enticed by the menu (and the mention of butterfish blasters - snow crab meat and avocado wrapped in butterfish torched with a garlic-soy - sound delish right?).
sadly, all the rolls my group ordered were not up to par. i could barely taste the fish since a lot of the rolls were drenched in sauce (may be the rolls we picked, may be my taste - im starting to appreciate a nice, fresh piece of simple sashimi a lot more)
my favorite was probably the billie jean - baby lobster, avocado, cucumber wrapped with soy paper and aioli and topped with salmon. however the main component seemed to consist of avocado.
my dining companions also agreed that each roll started to taste the same after awhile.
service was attentive and rolls came out lightening fast.
i'd recommend this place is you're a sushi house type fan or like saucy, creative rolls. for me, this didn't hit the spot.

I'm so torn about this place because I've had such mixed experiences here having dined here about 6 times. This week was one of my best experiences in terms of the quality of the sushi- the uni, butterfish, salmon, amaebi, and other nigiri was so fresh and tasty. The albacore dream is my favorite roll here- delish. The agadeshi tofu appetizer and sea bass was also delicious. Be warned that parking is a nightmare and is never easy. The service was a little spotty this week- not very attentive and just seemed rushed, although the server was patient with us. In the past, my issue with this place has been the quality of the sushi. I remember one time my fish was still a little frozen (ick!). But we went on a Tuesday this time so maybe Tuesday sushi nights is the way to go.

Sushi Bistro is not your average... actually it's not even a Japanese restaurant at all. It's more of a hip bar with that serves Japanese food. There's loud music playing so much that it's hard to have a conversation at normal loudness. The lights are really dim inside the restaurant so I would have to say this is an American-style sushi bar rather than a Japanese sushi bar. Not that it's a bad thing.
Sushi bistro has a lot of different special rolls they serve. There's also some regular nigiri pieces and Japanese bento dinner combos. The dishes are pretty much a hit or miss. Some of the ingredients didn't compliment each other well. All the ingredients was fresh and delicious though.
Miso soup was alright. There's nothing really special about miso soup. The interesting thing is soup is usually the first item to come, but it ended up as the last item. Did they run out of miso soup?
The Spicy Girl's pretty kicking good. It has small chunks of tuna gathered together to form an underside down bowl with a layer of avocado on top. The creamy house sauce didn't go great with the tuna and avocado. It was too creamy since the avocado was already creamy to begin with.
Otoro (fatty) tuna nigiri is awesomely delicious. It's such mouth watering good that it will send your taste buds to heaven the instant it hits them. The $14 price for two pieces is well worth the experience and the is pretty much the average price for two pieces..
The Caterpillar roll was a total miss for me. There was way too much cucumber inside the roll and it was drenched in the sweet sauce. The amount of rice and eel was really sparing compared to the cucumber. The avocado was nicely placed on top of the roll and they had two toothpicks that formed the caterpillar's head. I thought it was a nice touch.
Albacore Dream is a spicy roll with tuna and albacore. The ingredients mixed really well with each other and it had a really nice spicy zing at the end.
Nemo Found is really a unique roll that I didn't like. There was too many ingredients and different tastes inside that it just didn't taste good. A party in my mouth and everyone was invited is a good way to describe it.
Overall, this is a nice place with fresh sushi. Parking in this neighborhood pretty much sucks so come early if you've made reservations. -
Review from Randal M.

For starters, their miso soup was quite outstanding by itself. It has a "richness" as a result of high concentration of soybean material inside. I think it may be the first time that way about a Japanese restaurant's miso soup which comes with an order.
I ordered the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for the dinner . The fish was very yummy and fresh. The serving was good, 12 pieces of fish and two tamago (cooked egg) pieces, along with bits of tobiko (fish roe) and mushrooms. Also, I always order sushi and I like to analyze their sushi rice. The amount of vinegar they put in makes the taste right, making the rice (oilse) tasty also.
Definitely wouldn't mind coming back and possibly see what their Sushi Bistro is like. At least I should remember how good I felt their miso soup and the sushi rice were and hope it's like that again. -

Came here with a party of 10....so I'm pretty sure we tried almost everything on the menu, especially the top rated or recommended ones we saw on yelp. I couldn't really distinguish what was what...but I'd say 90% of the rolls we ordered were really great....plus it was given to us by a cute server. Def a plus! I'd call this a cute trendy sushi/bar/hang out place in the Inner Richmond (which is otherwise boring as hell lol)

A bit pricy, yes, but totally worth every delicious penny. I have personally witnessed people from all parts of the globe evolve from sushi skeptics into sushi lovers, all thanks to Sushi Bistro. Once I even got paid for some gardening work in a gift card to Sushi Bistro. That's how much I love it. Great sushi. Friendly service. 'nuff said.
Tip: If you are looking for a cheaper option try the crunchy veggie roll. It's aMAAAZIng. -

Sushi Bistro was amazing! The sushi was excellent, the service was fast and friendly and if this was in my neighborhood you better believe I would be here once a week.
The prices were really reasonable as well. We had Ahi Tuna Roll and a Veggie Crunch Role (tempura fried veggies inside a roll).
Overall, great neighborhood find that I would go out of my way for. -

Ugh, love this place!!!
Roll highlights:
- Butterfish Blasters
- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
- African Spider
The regular sushi is fantastic as well and the cuts of fish are really generous. Try the salmon and yellowtail belly - omg.
Classic rolls are legit. The Spicy Tuna, Yellowtail Scallion and Crunchy rolls are delicious, cheap(er) and they give you at least 8 pieces. Amazing. The menu is chock full of creative rolls so there is something for everyone.
Service is super fast....almost too fast I wanna say. We blazed through our meal in 40 minutes! Lol. I hope they're not pre-making the rolls and then just cutting them to order. Hmmm. Oh well whatever, the end product is still pretty damn good.
There are two bars - sushi bar seating and bar bar seating (equipped with 2 flat screen TVs). Would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, especially on the weekend.Listed in: Richmond Eats
