About this business
The sushi here is really a delight, as it is fresh and impeccably assembled with perfectly steamed and seasoned rice. But what sets this sushi bar apart from the scores of others in town is that each chef only creates these bite-sized delights for the few patrons sitting in front of him. A full Japanese menu is also available at Ebisu. Because it lies at the crucible of the Inner Sunset's parking inferno, leave plenty of extra time to find parking or just take a cab. Reservations are advised, but even so, the wait can be lon... read more

Expensive, Paper-Thin Nigiri Sushi – Slices of fish were cut so thin that you could almost see through them! The quality was generally OK but not great - ikura appeared old because the eggs were shrivelled. Ebisu's non-sushi items are generally not very good. Ebisu used to serve good sushi, but now it is below average (but still pricey) that I will not go there any more.
Great sushi The sushi was great with fresh sashimi also. The wait can be very long sometimes. Also, parking can be very difficult. The restaurant is also kind of small.
great place for food what a great please for japanese food. i love their sashimi as well as their sushi rolls. the price is not too expensive and their service is very good. parking around that area is hard to find though.
Oishiiii – O mi God ! I love the nigiri sushi. They're all fresh and hand made perfected by the cool and friendly sushi chef Suzuki san. The Hamachi, Toro, and Aji were among the best nigiri sushi i've ever had. Uh! the Roll #29 rocks! You better sit on the sushi bar, I bet u'll get the special treatment from Suzuki san. The service was fast, the waitress were cheerful, the glass was never empty even for a minute. coz they're always filling it right away. Worth every bucks
Excellent sushi! The food is great here and service is excellent, however I always end up waiting since it gets really crowded. Its kinda hard to find parking in the area. The sushi rolls are great, just thinking about it makes me hungry. I think this is one of the best sushi go-to's in the city. Highly recommended.
Can you say OVERRATED? – I found ebisu to be far less of a great sushi restaurant and far more of a SF scene. It's totally corwded, the staff is way too busy to give you attention and it's loud as ever. True, the food was good, but the prices are out of control. I think this place is resting on it's "#1 sushi" status a bit too much and diners are falling for it. I'd say check out some of the others before rushing here.
GREAT TAKEOUT! – I haven't eaten at the restaurant because the wait has always been long. But when I need my fix of sushi and rolls, I call in an order for pickup. I've tried many other places in the city and NONE compare to how fresh and delicious the food here is. I can't speak about dining experience IN the restaurant but if you want DELICIOUS, FRESH, and UNIQUE kinds of sushi for takout without the long wait, go here! I highly recommend the 49er Roll, Hannukah Roll, and Bonsai Roll.
Overrated – I lived about 4 blocks from this place for 5 years. Naturally in the course of those years I was dragged to this place multiple times. Every time it was the same: I had to wait a long time, the sushi was small and thrown together, the rolls were poorly formed and chewy, the waitstaff were rude and impatient, the decor was dull at best, the prices were high. Once, I had to return my saba (a good test of sushi freshness if there ever was just one) for being SO fishy (usually a sign its been sitting out a while). A ... read more
One of the best in town – This is one of my favorite two places in San Francisco. Sushi is always fresh and entrees aren't bad either. I prefer sitting at the bar and chatting it up with the chefs - they treat you well. The wait is usually really, really bad - so try to go during off hours.
