Nakama Sushi - San Francisco

Great small authentic sushi place with fantastic staffs! Chef Ryan and Evan were very friendly and accommodated us so well.

I will say that the menu looked amazing. Unfortunately we will never know. After going over the menu for close to 30 min, we were never checked on, when we went to order we were informed that there was no more rice. Yes, no more rice at a sushi establishment. It would have been nice if he had informed us when we first sat down that they were running low on rice, but no such communication was to be had. By they time we were informed that they couldn’t provide the most basic ingredient of their establishment, every other sushi restaurant in the neighborhood was closed. Bad service and bad communication made for a wasted evening, thanks Nakama.

Uncle Ben was our Host/Server, he was great and made the entire experience worth while! The food was stunning. Sushi was super fresh and melt in your mouth, and given it was My girlfriends and i anniversary i decided to get the A5 Wagyu beef and it was amazing and worth every penny. Thank you again Uncle Ben! We will be back soon!

Had a very enjoyable meal here and will definitely go back. The food was good and the host provided amazing service and made us feel like royalty. We shared several delicious rolls and the chef's special roll with truffle oil was unique and very memorable. An instant favorite. The ambient noise was thankfully low and we didn't have to shout to carry on a conversation unlike some of our other favorite sushi places. It deserves to be busier than it was the night we went, but that may change when more people discover this little gem.

This hidden gem has the freshest, highest quality sushi in Hayes Valley. Service is excellent as well. Get the nigiri tasting menu!
