I've been a fan of Kibatsu since their early days when they first opened Sugoi! on Valencia. Over the years, they've expanded to three locations and consistently deliver exceptional sushi and Japanese cuisine. Their food never disappoints—trust me, it's worth the visit every time. In fact, I once dined here 8 days in a row because I just couldn't get enough! If you're unsure what to order, I highly recommend trying the Omakase—you'll be glad you did. Some of my favorites include Ponzu Walu, Walu, Amaebi, Wagyu, Uni, Umimatsu, Kimedai, and countless other delicious options. If you're craving top-quality fish and authentic Japanese flavors, Kibatsu is the place to go. Don't miss out!

Hands down favorite sushi spot in San Francisco. Chanel the primary waitress brings so much joy and personality, makes everyone feel special. The fish is some of the best we have had, such high quality sashimi. Roy the primary chef has been doing this since 1991 and sources the best sashimi in the Bay Area. Everyone should add this as an SF staple.
