The Scene
A casual dining room with a long sushi bar and closely packed tables barely contains the clamor of UCSF students and young neighborhood professionals chowing on raw fish and beer. Service is designed to turn the tables fast--staff hands diners menus and takes orders almost immediately, even whisking away plates mid-meal.
The Food
Though beef and chicken are on the menu, diners throng for the eclectic array of fresh sushi. The real stars are the exotic nigiri, such as live scallop, long-neck clam, and horse mackerel--all of which are regulars on the specials board. Specialty rolls such as the Arch Deluxe, is an overburdened mishmash of soft-shell crab, abalone, cucumber, green onion, mayonnaise, garlic and tiny fish roe. Veer off the sushi menu for dishes like pork gyoza flecked with fresh ginger, piping-hot tempura and sunomono, a refreshing salad of thin cucumbers and rice vinegar.

Get it together, people! We had out-of-town guests wanting some great sushi. After finding Ebisu listed on this site as one of the top rated sushi places, I was thrilled. It's in the neighborhood! The website said it was getting remodeled, but would be completed the first week of 2009. I called the make reservations, the dialogue went as follows, Me: "Hi, do you guys take reservations?" Ebisu: "How many people in your party?" Me: "Six, for 7:00 pm" Ebisu: "OK, see you then, thank you." After taking my name, I hung up, excited that I could get a table for Saturday night. HOWEVER, after arriving promptly at 7pm, they told us that they don't take reservations. I recounted my explanation, then the hostess told me that they only put people's names on the waiting list. To add injury to insult, she said, "I wish you told me sooner, I just gave away a table for 6 people." Inexplicably honest, and incompetent. She did apologize for the person on the phone, saying that they shouldn't have given a reservation. Excuses, excuses. I'm sure the fish is great, thus the line. But if you're counting on making plans in advance, don't count on Ebisu. By the way - the remodeling is not done yet, their website is wrong.

It sounds cliche, but Ebisu really is the best sushi in SF. I have been going to Ebisu for at least twenty years and I have never been disappointed. The wait can sometimes be long, so if I'm in a hurry, I try to get there right at 5pm for an early dinner. You have to be adventurous here - do not come to Ebisu and only eat California Rolls or Chicken Teriyaki (although I have been here with wimpy friends and the the teriyaki does look good). Everything is always absolutely fresh and the tuna sashimi melts in your mouth. If you can't do "raw" (or even if you can) go for the a Pink Cadillac, the grilled salmon or yellow tail collar, anything with unagi or soft shell crab.

Great sushi, the wait can be very long sometimes, but it is worth it. The dragon roll and 29 roll are some of the best dishes of any kind of food I have ever tasted. Edamame is always fresh and tasty, and if you're a regular, you get a little better service.
