I found it! Finally, a neighborhood sushi joint that I LOVE (not just like). The wait is long and even after you sit down it will take some time but I'll basically do anything for delicious food. Sushi Zone really deserves a better name. It sounds so genetic which is why I stayed away for so long. What a mistake. The delicious rolls, sashimi, and nigiris have me kicking myself!
I first tried Sushi Zone two weeks ago before I went on vacation in Florida. My bf and I always have to get our sushi fixes before trips because it's so hard to find a good sushi place when you're traveling. We almost ordered every roll but here were some of my favorites:
The Hawaiian #2 - is similar to the Hawaiian. It just depends on if you like albacore or tuna better. Huge macadamia nuts and mango pieces make this taste like you really are in Hawaii. So good.
Papaya Unagi - This was just mouthwatering. I never thought papaya and unagi together but I'm sure glad Sushi Zone did. I know I'm ordering this one every time I come back.
Spider Roll - The tempura was perfect. Sometimes it's battered too thickly or it's breaded but this one was light and crisp. The crab was so fresh, you could taste the guts and juices. I LOVE IT.
Rainbow Roll - Each piece was wrapped with a beautiful piece of sashimi. Best rainbow roll ever!
Spicy Scallop - The sushi chef cut nigiri quality scallops to mix into the spicy mayo for this roll. It was sweet, fresh and had just a hint of spice.
The Sashimi combo plate was a great value too at just $20.50 and I also tried the famous baked sea bass with mango. It was good but I'd rather have ordered more rolls! I was actually sad to leave SF the next day when the night before I found such a great sushi joint. The whole time I was away, I dreamt of Sushi Zone. And yes, I rushed right back to after I got off the plane!
I have no problem waiting on line for a delectable culinary experience. Unfortunately, I did not have that anticipated experience after waiting for two hours.
The food was eh and the service was was eh. If you visit, you need to sit at the sushi bar because those people clearly get served before anyone in the booths.
I have been to better sushi places in the city that serve it up quickly with a much shorter wait time.
This place is AMAZING.
My cousin and I went out last Friday to check out Sushi Zone.....when we got in the place smelled delicious and it was packed with people. The place is TINY! Only two tables and bar seating. We waited an hour for a table, but it was all well worth it. While waiting we got to chat with a few others who all had nothing but great things to say.
Highlights:
Sea Bass with mango!!! My cousin and I decided next time we go back this is all we're ordering! :)
Stuffed jalapenos.....yummy!!!!
Salmon Mango roll
The people there are great too, very nice and very attentive to your needs. I can't wait to go back.
Sushi Zone is a restaurant (yes, it's hard to believe as you take in the size of this miniscule hole-in-wall, but let me finish) that rewards you if you've done your research. I've been here a few times now, and each time has been fabulous despite the wait that you'll almost certainly experience.
Knowing that there is a wait, you can use that time to your advantage. The bf and I came here yesterday right at opening (5:00 pm), put our name down on the whiteboard, and didn't get seated until 6:15 pm. Pretty ridiculous, right? But the waitress brought us beverages during our wait. In the alternative, there's the Pisco Lounge right next door, and they serve delicious cocktails and wines to help pass the time. Or the bookstore across the street. My point is that knowing there's an ass-long wait to eat here, just be prepared for it and you'll be eating before you know it.
Once you get over it, the food is quite enjoyable here. I'd pass on the run-of-the-mill Rainbow Roll and the Spicy Tuna Rolls - they're nothing too special. However, you'll be blown away by the Baked Striped Sea Bass with Mango ($5.00). This is served in a mussel shell, and it simply melts in your mouth. Also, don't miss the Hawaiian Rolls ($5.75 each for HR#1 and HR #2), which come with your choice of macadamia nuts or not.
We were really full after getting all of the above (plus drinks and miso soup), and it only cost us about $55 tax and tip included for the two of us. Everything about this place is reasonable, aside from the wait, of course.
This place is so overrated. The sushi is just OK and when you factor in the long wait its really not worth it. My theory on why people like this place so much is that by the time they get seat they are so hungry they'll love anything you feed them.
Yup, after avoiding this place for literally *years* because of the fabled wait, I finally checked it out myself, and I can tell you folks, it's all true.
It's teeny, and you'll wait. And wait. And wait. (Even at 8:30 on a Tuesday.) And the fish is great, the chef and staff are friendly, the atmosphere virtually non-existent, and the prices pretty good for what you get.
The wait is daunting, but if you're up for it, it's definitely worth it.
Great prices and lots of cool rolls.. I am not a huge fan of sushi and went with a few planners from work on Monday... we drank a few beers and had some great rolls! It's worth it!

This is the only restaurant I go to at least once a month. The two hour wait is always worth it. To pass the time, just order a sake and take your time reading the Zagat Survey for America's Top Japanese Restaurants located on the counter. Or you can go to Pisco around the corner.
My favorite dishes:
*uni
*hawaiian #1 - the macadamia nuts are magical
*stuffed mussel (better than the stuffed mushroom or jalapeño; but they are good as well)
*hamachi - the regular cut almost tastes as good as hamachi belly
*spicy scallop handroll - you can ask for extra mayonnaise
*amaebi - like uni, so many things can go wrong with this dish but it's been consistently good
*unagi handroll - no wonder Japanese people have this for dessert
My least favorite:
*Mexican roll
*anything w/ mango in the sushi
This place is a small spot, so even after 9PM, you should expect a wait to be seated on a weekday. The rolls were delicious, but my boyfriend kept track of time, and the first roll took about a 20 minute wait, and every roll after that took about 10-15 minutes. We ordered 4 rolls and we were there for a long time. The prices were reasonable and customer service was decent. We would come back again because of the price.
The hour-long wait is worth it. The mussels on the half shell and the stuffed shiitake mushrooms are the highly-recommended appetizers. Cash only.
First off this is a small intimate restaurant as others have stated. That's part of its charm. There are two booths that seat 4 people each and the counter which seats 8. Maximum seating capacity is 16 if the booths are filled, most times there's just a couple occupying them. When you walk up to the place based on the size you should expect a wait if the tables/counter are full. For those who complain about having to wait, what would you rather have? 1) A wait and then a leisurely meal where you can savor it all at your pace. 2) No wait and a waitress who delivers indigestion as she encourages you to inhale your food and stands over you breathing down your neck to get you to gulp your tea and vacate your seat.
If you get there and the tables are full, add your name to the whiteboard (it's on the sideboard). There's a bench near the door and four chairs against the sideboard for waiting. I recommend grabbing one of the chairs against the buffet so that you can watch the Sushi chef. While you wait you can enjoy a Sapporo or sake or nibble on some Edamame. We've waited both times we've gone here - a little over an hour the first time and almost 2 hours the second time. There's a rhythm to the waiting - some people come in, list their names, and reappear just as the seats with their name open up. NOTE: If you wander and then come back to discover that your name has been passed, don't despair. The server will seat you when the next table comes open.
The first time I came here I didn't know to get the baked sea bass with mango. A friend told me we absolutely had to get it the next time and we'd forgotten about it until we were waiting we saw a baked concoction on mussel shells go by us. It was as good as we'd been told. If you're with another person, don't get just 1 order (2 pieces for each of you), get your own order!
Also, if you have the choice between a booth or the counter, I'd recommend the counter. When we sat at the booth, the chef wasn't able to judge our pace and sent out the sushi at the same time. At the counter we were able to enjoy each plate on its own. Sushi is meant to be savored from the start as your eyes feast on the presentation to finish as your mouth experiences a symphony of balanced flavors.
Pretty good...went here with my boss before a show...she said the rolls had too much rice...i have to agree. But the fish was delicious.
it is simple, jerks. grab a 6 pack from the convenience store down the street and porch it with your pals for awhile.
HEY ASSHATS!!!!!!!!!!
stop complaining about the wait, we get it, you had to wait for hours, boho poor you!!!
Spoiled butbellys take your onestar and head over to TACOBELL it's just around the corner!
As good as it gets!
Indeed.

NO place can be so good that you are willing and able to wait over two hours to get seated.
This is a tiny place that we have long since given up on trying again. The first and only time we tried, we sat around for a long time while patrons lingered and sat around long after their food was gone. Even more maddening, we had ordered and finished a large Asahi from the waitress to drink during our wait. When we finally had given up long after most sane people would've been long gone, she was a lot more lively and proactive in making sure we paid for that Asahi.
With so many other good sushi places in SF, I can't imagine why anyone would brave the unwashed mass of lemmings to come here. Sure, it's relatively inexpensive, and I'm sure a good value... if you don't value your time that much. I do, so I'm done with this place.
For $60, my friend and I had loads of sushi and appetizers (the baked seabass in a mussel shell is to die for, I could order 10 of them) AND one large sake, small sake, and a beer. Really good prices!
The fish is excellent, and I love all the mango rolls they have. Alaskan #2 is bomb with the macadamia nuts sprinkled on top.
It can take over an hour and i hear sometimes two to get seated. But, just put your name on the board and head into the peruvian bar next door for a drink while you wait.
I am an impatient person. I almost died waiting for dinner here.
This restaurant has great sushi - it is SO delicious and fresh and wonderful - but mostly because your wait was so miserable that sitting down and eating anything makes you unnaturally happy. You will wait for 2 hours, minimum. The restaurant has 2 tables and a bar that seats maybe 10 people. You put your name on a list and wait outside, hovering over all the folks who are eating. If there is a party taking a long time, you hate them and throw dirty looks in their direction. By the time it's your turn to sit down, you are ravenous and pissed off. The food is SO good because you've been waiting for such a long time. Overall, this dining experience is totally frustrating. My suggestion is that they take over the unremarkable Chinese restaurant next door. Otherwise, I will not be revisiting and I would not recommend the restaurant because the wait is atrocious.
I do not understand why Sushi Zone does not get 5 stars from EVERYBODY!!!
For us, Sushi Zone still is the one and only Sushi place outside of Japan! WE try out different places all the time, just because we want to be fair but... it is simply NOT possible for anyone to keep up with Sushi Zone! The cosy atmosphere, the personal relationship you develop with the Sushi chefs and the waitresses, the selection on their menu! The Baked sea bass, the Spicy Scallop roll, the Sweet Shrimp nigiri... OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Honestly, whenever I take a bite of anything they produce I can't help but close my eyes and sigh... HMHHHHHH!
Does the wait bother me?! NO, it's part of it. Enjoy a few glasses of Sapporo while you wait and even more so... enjoy the anticipation!
Sushi ZONE... we'll be back, very soon :) :) :) !
Know this about me. I despise the places that are San Francisco institutions. That the San Francisco people line up outside day in and day out.
This is one of those places, but it is fantastic. Fresh fish, good vibe. Fair price. Best sushi I have had in the city.
Go during the week.
Did I go to the wrong restaurant? What I ate was nowhere near as good as these reviews.
Remember to write your name on the whiteboard and prepare to wait. After about 40 min on a weekday, we were seated at the bar. BTW, this place is super tiny. I don't think any table can seat more than 4 peeps. Food comes out pretty fast and service was great.
Chirashi was okay. I'm not sure if his knife wasn't sharp, but the edges were stringy and jagged. Hamachi kama was prepared in what looked like a toaster oven, but it was very meaty, tasty, and super fresh. Sea bass with mango was aight. Can I be honest? It reminded me of something you'd get at a Chinese buffet, not a 5 star yelp establishment.
I may have overly hyped up Sushi Zone in my head. If I walked in off the street and ate here, I might think they're a notch better, but not by much.
I don't really understand the hype here... I went with a few friends the other night and had a very subpar experience.
I got the Chirashi which I get at pretty much every sushi joint I go to. First off, it took about 45 mins to get our food. I'm all about lounging, having a good conversation over beers and sake with friends, but 45 mins!? We all got sushi so its not like they forgot to cook something in the kitchen and had to wait for it. Anyways, after the food finally arrived I was very unimpressed by the amount of food. There were 5 pieces of fish total (one of them being ebi, which I don't really even count so its more like 4 pieces). Sake, maguro, hamachi, unagi over some rice. Move along, nothing special to see here...
I've said time and again that once every so often, along comes a restaurant that creates a new standard for a specific food item, or cuisine.
For example - for brunch, I measure any restaurant serving breakfast items against my favorite brunch joint - Fifth Wheel in San Leandro.
http://www.yelp.com/bi...
For gorging on meats, I measure it against my favorite red meat joint, Fogo de Chao.
http://www.yelp.com/bi...
When it comes to sushi - I measure everything against my favorite Ino Sushi.
http://www.yelp.com/bi...
My old friend from high school swears by this place, so I made a true effort to try it out. I am VERY reluctant to try new sushi joints as I am invariably disappointed when comparing it to Ino, but on this night, it was 9 pm and Ino was closed.
I thought Ino Sushi was small.
Sushi Zone is TINY. I can see now why everyone is reviewing how long they waited - my bedroom is larger than this restaurant. Lucky for us, because we got there at 9:30 PM, we did not have a wait and got seated at the two remaining seats at the otherwise still full bar.
It's extremely casual (almost a dive, if you will) and doesn't have a Japanese feel at all, except the entire staff is Japanese. As "hole in the wall" as it felt, it looked clean.
The staff was friendly, and the chef, while I don't believe it was Aio-san on this evening, was nice enough.
Let's get to the fish.
First - my friend recommended the Omakase here, but I was politely informed that they do not do Omakase because they are just too busy. Perhaps they just do Omakase for my friend Kip and his wife - I am not sure, but even sitting at the bar, it was not chef's choice - we ordered what we wanted and said to include whatever is fresh and NOT COOKED at all Read my Ino Sushi review and you will see how I feel about getting Omakase.
First came the maguro, sake, and hirame. The tuna and salmon were totally underwhelming at best, the hirame was good.
The scallop nigiri was quite outstanding - as well as the hamachi-kama we ordered. Both fish were extremely fresh.
Having read some of the reviews, I knew I had to at least try a roll of some sort, and opted to order the hamachi spicy roll. While I didn't find it spicy, I had to admit this was a tasty roll - I loved the lime aspect of it and the hamachi was fresh. Other items, like uni, were good. Rob loved the tataki seared tuna - and I was not a big fan.
We ordered plenty of nigiri, and we were stuffed silly by the end of the meal.
Now, I started to hear the theme song to Jaws, as we requested the bill. The cost of the meal would be what would determine whether this was a 3 or 4-star experience.
Rob spends an astronomical amount of money on taking me out to dinner. While we both enjoy a good In N Out Burger, we also both appreciate luxury dining at any cost, so long as the food and experience made it worthwhile.
Having eaten at Sushi Zone - I knew what I was willing to pay for this experience. I also knew at which price point this dinner would have become a waste of good money.
We received the bill and for $100 total - including tip - Grace and Rob were full (read: we ate our usual enormous amount of sushi). This breaks down to $50 per person, including a small bottle of cold sake (which, by the way, was good stuff).
Now this was truly an economical meal.
Excellent sushi, I think not.
But we ate without crinkling our nose at anything or having to spit anything out, and more than once, we were impressed by the quality of SOME of the fish (though not all), and while the rice is not to my liking in taste or size (a bit too much rice), it was all in all pretty good.
The selection of rolls, however, was impressive - and the one roll we did try was very good.
This was also the first time in my life that I have entered a sushi restaurant and ended up being the only Asian party in the restaurant - which explains the popularity of the rolls at Sushi Zone.
For most of the food, I would only give it 3-stars overall. The ambiance of the place, while cool in an eclectic sort of way, is also not what I want when I am opting to eat Japanese food - BUT, you factor in the price and Sushi Zone just kind of makes sense.
Will I be back?
I'm not entirely sure. I am the type of person who'd rather spend double this amount and eat amazing sushi at Ino rather than eat "just good" sushi, but then again, Ino's last seating is at 8:30 pm (if that), whereas Sushi Zone seats until 9:30 pm.
Most definitely, though - I am not one to wait 2 hours to eat here as many yelpers have claimed to have done.
No way, no how.
I'm very picky with eating Japanese food, especially sushi. Sushi Zone has reasonable prices. The restaurant is actually smaller than most restaurants, but it's designed just like the ones in Japan. I suggest going there before they actually open and wait by the door because it's usually a 2 hour await. All the sushi is delicious. Try everything. Their Hawaiian Rolls are my favorite though.
I'm conflicted: 4.5 stars.
I ate here after a recommendation from a friend, and purposely set it after a day I had to take a big test. It was what I looked forward to for a whole week.
My boyfriend and I got here at 4:30PM (we did yelp research coming here) but we were still the 6th and 7th persons in line. The restaurant smelled good even in line. We got seated at 5, and ordered:
1. Mango Hamachi- Good.
2. Hawaiian #2- Good. Very generous with the macadamia nuts.
3. Rock 'n Roll- Good.
4. Nasu nigiri- Delectable. This dish alone attracted a lot of stares. It's aroma was amazing.
5. Baked Sea Bass appetizer- Forgettable. A little salty, and too little bass.
6. Miso soup- is miso soup.
Everything was good, but not as good as I expected. BUT, I couldn't stop thinking about their sushi afterwards. I think my unconscious is telling me that I secretly loved the place and was playing hard to get.
We sat at the bar, and we loved how we got to see the chef prepare each order. He has amazing skills. There is only one main chef, so the orders took a while to complete. I think he has a patterned way of serving the tables.
Food was fresh. Great place, great price. Place opens at 5PM and closes at 9:30PM. Small place, come early with small party if during peak hours. Have fun & ITADAKIMASU!
The thing about Sushi Zone is that it basically IS as delicious as every person you know said it was. But the problem is that we waited for sixteen million years and died hundreds of thousands of times and were reincarnated as every animal and then became beings of light and transcended our earthly bodies entirely and left our dying solar system and were incorporated into a single God consciousness before our food came. But they didn't just make us wait until our hanger meters were maxed and then lay some fish on us. Instead they slowly distributed the food over 2 hours of hellish food torment. It was like the Japanese sushi version of Chinese water torture. Or the food version of Waiting for Godot. There is one guy making the sushi and he looks like a Japanese version of Cheech, which is neither here nor there, but I'm just saying, bring a sandwich.
To enjoy eating at Sushi Zone, you must strive to be like a Ronin Warrior...
Strive for Ryo of the Wildfire's Virtue, and have the moral excellence to be polite to the others waiting with you and not rush the others already eating.
Possess Sage of the Halo's Wisdom, and know in advance Sushi Zone only accepts cash and the waits will be long and arduous.
Have faith like Cye of the Torrent's Trust, because your name will eventually be called and your food will eventually arrive all in patient time.
Believe in Kento of Hardrock's Justice, that the waitress will not seat a party lower than you on the white board before you.
And embrace Rowen of the Strata's Life, because there are few things in life as satisfying as a meal at Sushi Zone.
Dao Jin!
I once took my Dad here and, as fortunes would have it, we ended up waiting for almost 2 hours before being seated and placing our order.
But I would wait 2 hours for the baked mussels alone.
I have not yet found a better place. You San Franciscans don't know how lucky you are. But maybe you're used to this quality of fish and sushi.
Everything about this place is amazing. It's worth a flight from Chicago to San Fran to eat here and then hop a flight home.
I didn't mind the wait. That's what happens when you serve mind-blowing sushi in a 20 seat restaurant.
If you don't get the hype, stay the heck away.
There are easy ways to screw up coming here and ordering incorrectly. If you know what to order however, you couldn't possibly help but love this place. Every single person I've ever brought here has left pretty much in awe of the experience, the food, and the price.
Hint: don't order like you're at a regular stupid sushi restaurant or get ready to be disappointed.
Went here last night with a friend. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but we got there 10… Read more »
Amazing. Delicious. Heart-stopping.
The sushi here is so incredibly good that I can't remember much else from the 2+ hours we spent around the tiny hole-in-the-wall on a Tuesday evening. We put our names down at around 6:30pm, sat down at the bar around 7:15pm and got our food about 7:50pm. Patience is a virtue.
But sweet Science, the food is positively, unequivocally and ludicrously excellent. The fresh tuna sashimi (maguro) was some of the best I've had in my life (and I've had a lot of sushi, though never been to Japan), the salmon was tender and savory and the wasabi doesn't mess around--completely clean sinuses and ample eye-watering on the first bite.
The spicy mango salmon roll was surprisingly wonderful and a welcome departure from the typical sushi fare. Even the old standby California roll (though with real crab) was very tasty and worth every penny.
Our waitress (the only one) was pleasant and friendly, chatting with us for a few minutes after things settled down a bit. There are precisely 8 seats at the bar (5 on one side and 3 on the other side of an L shape) and 4 seats at each of two booths, giving a grand total of 16 dining seats, which are constantly filled.
On top of all that, the prices are entirely fair for sushi--not nearly as much as we've paid for "nice" sushi elsewhere, but the quality is among the best. Needless to say, I *highly* recommend Sushi Zone if you have the time, patience and inclination to experience truly incredible sushi.
Just had to say it again.
After moving back to San Diego Sushi Zone is still one of my favorite sushi place.
My boyfriend and I were back in San Francisco for a few days and we had to stop by Sushi Zone. We got there around 5:30pm and grabbed the last table.
We ordered our usual:
- Spicy Mango Salmon Roll ($5.75)
- Spicy Scallop Roll ($5.50)
- Spicy Hamachi Roll ($5.75)
- Hawaiian #2 Roll ($5.75)
- Baked Stuffed Striped Bass with Mango ($5.00)
- Baked Stuffed Jalepeno with Albacore ($5.00)
As usual everything was amazing.
I love you Sushi Zone: you never disappoint.
And I love it here.
After reading the reviews for Sushi Zone I expected a lot and to my pleasant…

Oh MAN, longest wait of my life. We are talking levels of absurdity higher than anything I was prepared for. The food delivered though. I was astonished. Its some of my favorite sushi in the city, for both the rolls and fish. Im bringing a snickers bar next time and not having as many beers while I wait.
Shhhh. Rate this place lower so the lines will be shorter. Starting to see Marina folks edge into this spot. Not having anything against the fine neighbors to the north, but for once can't we just enjoy a good spot without it showing up on the trend radar?
Good? Everything on the menu. Especially the baked mussels, spicy scallop roll and (something not on the menu) the Alaskan crab hand roll.
Bad? The wait. Really people, if you aren't prepared to wait 2 hours for good food, this is not the place for you.
PS:
Al loves you. That is all.
the bartenders are awesome and really entertaining, if you are fun and friendly they are quick to reward you.
the service is excellent and our waitress really knew the menu well.
the food is amazing, and you'll save 20-30 bucks off my other favorite places in the city.
sure, there's the famous wait, but with the tatoo parlor/art gallery next door, and brown-bag-unfiltered sake, who's complaining?
Really good sushi (I very rarely say this) -- coming form someone who's lived in Japan for nine months. The service is rather slow, as they have only one chef. Expect around two hours from the time you arrive to the time you have sushi plated in from of you.
Try their rock'n'roll, it's fantastic.
come early, really early, and come prepared to wait. and when you get inside, you'll wait some more. and when you get a table, you'll still be waiting for your food.
sometimes i think i'm bucking the system by letting my friends come early and do all the waiting. i dream of waltzing in late, into a seat at a table with a waitress ready to take my order. but much as i try, i've never been late enough to bypass every previous step of waiting. i think the cosmos is punishing me for being selfish, but really, i think the restaurant is just small and slow.
but when you get your food, you will be happy. or exhausted - who really knows by that point?
Mango and macadamia nuts are sure to expand your sushi horizons when you go to Sushi Zone ... I loved the crunch that the macadamia added to the sushi.
After waiting 2+ hours for this place, I'm certain it tasted good for two reasons: the fish was extremely fresh and ... I was fucking starving?
I wish they had some spicier rolls. They had one with jalapeno which was pretty tasty. I wish they had some spicy mayo or somethin' to jazz the simpler rolls up!
Plain and simple great sushi. Staff was super friendly. Walked out with a full belly and didn't dent the wallet either. Big fan of the Spicy Hamachi and Spicy Tuna Rolls. Not a fancy interior but who cares when you get good food.
Be there early or prepare to wait 2 hours and watch the couple, who beat you in line, enjoy the best sushi San francisco has to offer. This place will not impress you since it is the size of garage. Actually IT IS a garage! But the rolls are made with the love of an Iron Chef. You will not be disappointed. This is not a typical meal. This is serious business here. No soy sauce or dipping sauce BS. That's like adding ice to your beer. Just open and enjoy.
This is the road to Hana...
Great little casual spot for sushi. The only bummer of the night was waiting an hour to get a seat. I'm not gonna lie, I started getting really annoyed at people who were sitting and sipping on their Sapporos for 30 minutes, taking their sweet ass time when they could clearly see all these hungry people waiting to be sat. Damn squatters!
Anyway, the food was great. I liked the baked mussels and all of the sushi was fresh and yummy. I think we had the hamachi, unagi, seared tuna and saba. The nigiri was the perfect size. Loved it.
I think the key is trying to find a time when there isn't a wait, if it's even possible...
