Nara
Named after a sushi specialty, Nara Sushi is located on Nob Hill. Nara is a cozy restaurant offering lunch and dinner meals at affordable prices. Choose from noodles, tempura, katsu, teriyaki and donburi if sushi is not your flavor for the night. Vegetarian options are also available in the kitchen menu, so if seafood is not your thing, you need not worry.
Sushi Hon
Ryoko's
Head downtown to Ryoko's for arguably the most creative sushi on Nob Hill. The family owned and operated restaurant has dabbled in the food business for over two decades. Exclusively sourcing its fish from Japanese waters, it creates an imaginative array of sushi and sashimi. Start off with gyoza, beef teriyaki, or wakame-su with octopus. The menu features classics like salmon sake, white tuna shiromaguro and BBQ eel unakyu. For a thrilling treat to your palate, brave the Volcano Roll which is a tasty tempura shrimp sushi filled with cucumber, peanut butter and jalapeño. The best seat in the house is right next to the friendly chefs where you can catch all the sushi rolling action.
How fresh have you had your fish? At Live Sushi Bar, your food is still alive when you walk in the door. Go to the 'Something Unique' section of the menu, and you can take your pick of several different sea creatures that are kept alive until the last possible instant for ultimate freshness. Try the live scallop, a dish that is not only fresh as can be but is also served two different ways: nigiri-style drizzled in ponzu sauce and tempura battered with onions. Chef Jackson Yu ensures that the other dishes are also as fresh as they can be by having fresh fish brought in daily to avoid freezing. No matter what you order, whether it be simple nigiri, something unique, or just a roll; you will be impressed for sure.
