Ebisu: Reviews & Ratings

This review is for their sushi platters. I think it's a little secret that they don't do well with advertising. This is a fun option for a dinner party, which we did for Christmas Eve this past year. There are two trays to pick from, $100 or $150. We opted for the $150, which fed us 4 people with leftovers - a 5th person would have worked too. I called a few days ahead of time (not how sure how far in advanced you'd have to reserve) and paid on the spot. The sushi quality was perfect - didn't taste like it was made the night before. It was the same quality as we've had at the restaurant. It was such a deal too, because it basically came out to about $40/person! You can't make substitutions, but that was fine with us. Also some of the rolls are vegetarian, which was a little disappointing, but they were still fun to try. Already ordered another sushi tray for my next dinner party!!!

Surprising decent Japanese restaurant. Many Japanese restaurants are Japanesish & localize the food for American tastes. This place is alright. Prices are about $30-40 a head which. Is on the high side for what you get but similar to other places in SF.

Was this the best sushi I've ever had? No. Was it convenient and what you would expect with your prototypical SF sushi? Yes. Ebisu has long been on my list of places to try in inner sunset, and the experience was about as expected. Ebisu is your typical sushi bar, offering a decent selection of nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, and specialty rolls. For a quick hit, they aren't your worst option. Both me and my dinner partner that night felt that the fish and rolls were on the milder side in flavor, relying heavily on the soy sauce and wasabi to give it life. Make of that what you will. I suspect I will eventually make my way back here one day mostly for the convenience and constant sushi cravings. Overall a slightly above average experience!

Came here for my friend's birthday and it was so good! We got several rolls and they were all so good. The fish is good quality and super fresh. The staff was super sweet and the ambiance is very cozy and cute.

I saw this spot on a list of the best sushi restaurants in SF, and I was a bit apprehensive. But walking in to a packed house at 6 PM on a Tuesday quickly changed my mind. And for good reason--everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The salmon and tuna literally melted in our mouths. Five stars all around!

Japanese restaurant that's been a staple in Inner Sunset. It gets pretty busy even during the week for dinner, so I recommend reservations or be open to sitting at the bar. I like the specials they have, and I got their special for the day with plum wine. I LOVE their plum wine, it pairs nicely with the meal. The food was 4/5 for the price and quality :)

What a wonderful lunch in a lovely peaceful restaurant. After exploring the Botanical Garden and the Japanese Tea Garden, we were ready for lunch. It's walking distance from the two gardens. (Irving St. has limited parking, so please plan ahead.) Dreams of lunch and Miso were in my head. Ebisu opens at 11:30 and we were waiting patiently ... it's a long time favorite on Irving St. In the Sunset. It filled up within minutes! Hubbie had a fantastic roll - was it the "home run"? - really good Tuna w aioli. YUM! Tasty hot Miso soup, great California rolls (you won't want them anywhere else), so many choices. Quality ingredients, well prepared. All their food is great, bring a couple friends so you can have more variety of rolls.
