Came here with a friend for happy hour a little after 5pm. We were sat immediately by the hostess. We ordered exclusive off the happy hour meal and I think it was a good deal for the price! Oh and they provided complementary green tea at the end of our meal. Despite being a relatively large space the place was very busy and if your party is more than 2, I recommend considering a reservation.
Always come in for the happy hour deals with friends, and it's so reliable both in food quality and getting a spot. Easy to make a reservation ahead of time if you have a larger group but if it's a smaller size on a weekday, you can sometimes just walk in too Have tried all rolls from the happy hour but my fav is the arctic char roll, which is similar to a salmon avocado roll.
One of the BEST happy hour deals in SF! I believe HH is DAILY from 430-630pm. Tataki is one of the few places that actually offers good deals unlike other places where food or drinks are only $1-2 off the original price. Tataki isn't stingy with their deals! You can get raw sushi, rolls, appetizers, and beer/sangria/cocktails are $6.I think their hand rolls taste amazing and it's only $4!. I'm not vegetarian but it's nice to see they have a bunch of options for those who are. Restaurant is clean and simple inside. Service is nice - can't complain. I recommend going early because it fills up quick. Can't recommend Tataki enough.
This is my second time coming here for happy hour and it didn't disappoint! Came here with a couple of friends and the service was very friendly and efficient. The food also came out really quick and tasted good! My favorites were the iwana nigiri, the crunchy California (I prefer the hand roll), and the nasu agebitashi. Great spot to meet up friends and eat good food!
My boyfriend and I have tried to come for happy hour twice now and both times we were unsuccessful in getting seated before 6:30pm. I highly recommend making a reservation if you are trying to do happy hour, it has been packed every time we've gone from 4:30-6:30pm, even in the middle of the week. They have it every day and it's a good deal. I'll have to take my own advice and make a reservation next time lol. By 7pm, the restaurant was pretty empty after the happy hour rush. Service was nice, everyone was attentive and nice and the music was a good background level of chill house and wasn't obnoxiously loud pop like many other places. The meal started off on a good vibe. We started with miso soup and tempura. The soup had a nice miso flavor, but I wish there was more tofu and seaweed. The pieces of daikon in there were interesting, I've never had miso soup from a sushi restaurant with that in there. The tempura was really good, and I liked the option of the tempura sauce and seasoned salt to flavor the pieces. My boyfriend and I liked the sweet potato and eggplant pieces the most. The shrimp was also slightly different than expected, with a crispy panko crust instead of the standard tempura coating. I liked this change as it stayed crispy as we ate the rest of the tempura first! For sushi, we ordered the golden state roll and the deluxe 12 piece nigiri tasting. The roll came out first, and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It was super unique with the matchsticks of apple included in the inside of the roll. The spicy scallop was sooo good and I loved the lightly seared albacore on top. The yuzu tobiko added a nice citrus flavor that went well with the apple and contrasted with the spice from the scallop. It was such an inventive roll and made me want to explore more of their menu. The deluxe 12 piece tasting was a feast for the eyes and mouth! It was presented so beautifully, and I was ready to dig in. Every piece of fish was delicious, with my boyfriend and I loving the scallop, amaebi, hamachi, and saba. There were more that I didn't know the name of, but they were all so fresh, with a good balance with lighter and leaner fishes and heavier buttery cuts. The rice and fish portions are definitely on the smaller side, but I still appreciated how fresh and expertly prepared each piece of nigiri was. I was pleasantly surprised by this meal, everything was really good, with a slight twist on what you might expect from a neighborhood sushi spot. I can't wait to come back for happy hour and to try out more of their menu!
I recently tried this sushi spot and was pleasantly surprised. Despite visiting during rush hour, it wasn't crowded or noisy, which was nice. The ambiance was average but cozy, and the waiters were attentive. Now, onto the sushi. It was good overall, with decent portions of fish and rice. The flavors were on point, especially with their tasty sauces. I tried a few rolls, and the Double-double was my favorite. Considering the quality, the bill of around $70 wasn't bad at all. In summary, it's a great spot for sushi lovers, with good food, cozy vibes, and attentive service.
