Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited in SoMa, but metered spots can be found within a few blocks. No valet service available.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans are fine but most guests lean polished for photos.
Noise level: Moderate—buzzing atmosphere but you can still hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait; walk-ins are accommodated quickly.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable rolls, tempura, and tofu dishes available.
Vegan options: Limited—several veggie rolls and sides can be modified.
Gluten-free options: Yes—gluten-free soy sauce available upon request; sushi rice and many rolls can be adapted.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—the modern room, polished plating, and comfortable noise level make it an easy fit for a first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Walk-ins are often seated at the counter, but reservations are recommended for groups or peak weekend slots.
Is it kid-friendly? Not especially—it’s more geared toward adults, though older kids who enjoy sushi will be fine. No special kids’ menu.
Best For
Better for: Better than nearby spots for generous nigiri portions and photo-ready plating.
Skip if: Skip if you’re seeking a super-traditional omakase or if you need a very quiet dining room.
