I am Japanese. I was very impressed to eat a fresh, tasty sushi in Zushi Puzzle. I tried some rolls and sashimi. They were all fresh!! No wonder Zushi is one of the popular sushi place in town!! My other Japanese friend said their sushi & sashimi are like the one you can eat in Japan! Thank you Roger-san, we will be back soon!!!

  • Pros: fresh sushi, good service

Although the ambiance isn't as flashy as other sushi restaurants in the city, the sushi itself is the best! Very creative rolls and always, always fresh.

My Wife, 8 year old, 11 year old, and I went to Zushi Puzzle early at exactly 5pm.

We are all sushi lovers, and know how to order and were really looking forward to a great time. When we got there, we were the only customers there. I told the hostess we wanted to sit at the sushi-bar. She came up with a weird story sating the sushi chef was running 30 minutes late, and wasnt ready for customers at the bar...I said, no problem, that we would wait until he was ready. She said, one moment.. and came back with yet another story about how they have a reservation coming at 530pm, and they could not accommodate us... I expressed my displeasure and walked out..I stuck around outside for 10 minutes, and saw 4 people, (two parties of two people) get seated right away at the Sushi-bar...anyways, it is a shame that this sort of thing still goes on in a city that promotes progressive and open thinking and practices...We wont be going back...go to SUSHI RAN in sausalito...its longer to get there, but they dont get refuse to seat families at the sushi-bar!!!!

Even with a reservation, I've had to wait up to one hour. They try and build up the biggest bill they can by giving you more than you order and then charging you. No Sake list so you don really know what you are getting and what you are paying? Roger (owner/sushi chef) a bit full of himself. Loved it at first and now I'm boycotting..

  • Pros: Variety of sushi
  • Cons: atmosphere, over billing

I can't even count the number of times I've replied, "Anything but sushi" when asked what I felt like for dinner. Well, on the last occasion I said that, my answer went ignored and I was taken to Zushi Puzzle. When I sat down and Chef Roger asked what I liked, I told him what I didn't like: raw fish and seaweed. He sure had his work cut out for him! What I soon found out was that I actually did like sushi... love sushi. What I didn't like was bad sushi as I had tried much of it over the years because I did always want to like it. I've had a couple dozen visits since then and he never ceases to amaze me with his inventive rolls, always the freshest fish, keen knowledge of sake and fervent desire to please his patrons with the best sushi on the west coast. I've continued to try other sushi places in the city and beyond and none can compare. I've seen reviews on here claiming the sushi at Zushi is "alright." I can only feel sorry for these people as I know their palate must be broken. The live scallops, signature hand roll, butterfish, tunas - all divine. And if you can, you should try the tempura banana. Now when asked what I feel like for dinner, you can't get me to say anything but "Zushi".

  • Pros: Chef Roger, scallops, sashimi, friendly atmosphere

They use fresh ingredients, varieties of rolls you may choose. Sashimi is so fresh! Try it! I definitely come back

Absolutely my top stop for good, fresh, inexpensive sushi in the city. It's my default choice for where to eat out. Kind of a pain to get to down in the tourist motels of the marina though. Kind of a "hole-in-the-wall" that really delivers. I've eaten my fair share of sushi around the city and this place is one if the few I would recommend to friends.

  • Pros: Great Sushi, Inexpensive
  • Cons: Lack of atmosphere

This is a great sushi restaurant! The different types of sushi they have are fantastic. I have tried more kinds of fish here than any other sushi restaurant in San Francisco. This is the sushi I compare all other sushi to.

  • Pros: different types of sushi. nice people
  • Cons: NO PARKING

You want to try the BEST sushi in California? Try to get a reservation at bar and when you got there, tell sushi chef that you are there to try the best sushi in town and u like him to serve what ever he thinks is fresh. (To get the best of the best you need to go there at least 5 times. I am going there for 3 years and still each time I get a different crazy fish that I have not even heard of it before!!!)

-This is not a place for people who think sushi is California roll.

- If you are not a experienced sake drinker ask from chef what u should order, he knows what you should like!!!

-Dont miss the fresh uni

Sushi is overrated!!!!!! I decided to check it out, thought will try the best sushi in SF (overall rating is 9.8!!!

Salmon wasn't fresh at all, it was first time I had it that bad. Rolls are tiny and not tasty, raw fish isn't fresh.
