In Short – Brightly painted walls flank the small dining room and sushi bar where chefs rhythmically wield their knives. A neighborhood crowd curls out the door on most nights, waiting to sample traditional Japanese tapas and the innovative house specialties such as the foie gras sushi (rice, seared liver, nori, tobiko) and the Hirame Jerry (rice, raw halibut, ponzu jelly, pickled tomato seeds).
best sushi anywhere
by teriannehawker at Citysearch
i have been to a lot of places and you dont get sushi's like the one you get here.They also have a wide variety of sakes which i think is a little overpriced. They are simply the best.The place isnt big so not good for big groups and there is always a big crowd there.Hope that they move into a bigger place.
Best Sushi in San Francisco!!!

Anyone who reads this review has to try Kabuto. The sushi they have is extremely unique and it's very rare you will find sushi like this anywhere else. The chef blends great flavors together that compliments one another. I heard the traditional sushi is really fresh and delicious but I've only ordered from the "Special Sushi Menu". I strongly recommend the Toro Tuna Tartar, CeViChe, Hamachi Pear, Foie Gras Sushi (my absolute favorite), and I believe it's called 1849 (oyster on a half shell). This item is written on the board above the sushi bar. So far these are my favorite dishes. I plan on going back soon and slowly trying the rest of the menu...
- Pros: Great Food & sSrvice with a Smile
- Cons: Long wait if you don't have reservations, Not good for parties over 4 people. Only one area that will fit 6-8 people (putting 2-3 tables together)
Not Even close to what it was

I guess some folks want to believe....After Sachio left I was expecting the worst but was surprised at how the new owner kept up the quality, at least most of it, but that honeymoon is totally over...Not only is the service unbelievably poor, the fish I think are walking over from the owner's old place up the street. I have been ten times since Sachio left, but I can't take it anymore. Thin slices of ordinary fish. Higher prices (Double the price for half the fish), and simply incompetent staff. It has become wht the owner's old place was: just another joint. Such a shame that the best place in the City has gone...should be illegal to keep the name.
- Pros: Good sake list, but 50% higher in price
- Cons: A classic case of running a place into the ground using the rep of the founder.
