Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited near Salesforce Tower; garages on Mission and Howard ($6–10 per hour).
Dress code: Casual to smart casual—office wear is common, jeans and sneakers are fine.
Noise level: Moderate—buzz from groups, but conversation is doable at most tables.
Weekend wait: 25–40 minutes for larger parties, faster for 2–3 people.
Weekday lunch: 10–15 minutes at peak; often no wait before 11:45.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple rolls and veggie sides available.
Vegan options: Limited—avocado and cucumber rolls, edamame.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated prep area; some sashimi and simple rolls are lower risk.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, low-pressure meetups than formal dates—fun rolls, colorful plating, and a lively vibe.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—most groups walk in, though calling ahead for 5+ helps during peak hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy sushi; high chairs are limited and space can be tight at peak.
Best For
Better for: Large, sauce-heavy rolls with flashy presentation—great for groups wanting shareable, filling plates.
Skip if: You want quiet fine dining or precision omakase—choose a higher-end spot instead.
