Wako

Wako is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself. Their omakase is among the best in the city. The ingredients are fresh and seasonal, and the fish is always fresh, delicious, and sourced from around the globe. The presentation is beautiful and thoughtful. It’s a wonderful restaurant in every way.

Phenomenal service and delicious, meticulously prepared sushi. Sitting at the sushi counter is a must for the full experience. Watching the chef prepare our dishes and being able to ask questions along the way enhanced an already superb evening. Prices are on the expensive side but imo totally worth it.

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our engagement and everything was perfect, we were lucky to be sitting at the bar in front of the Chef. The cuisine is refined and the selection of fishes is great, same goes for the wine and champagne selection. The Chef seems to put his heart into giving the best culinary and human experience and he also kindly took the time to give us some restaurants recommendations for lunch the following day, before our flight back to France. Service was discreet yet considerate considering how special this night was for us. An overall amazing experience, we will back for sure next time we are visiting SF!

First time having Omakase, and the service was incredible! Everyone was so positive and lovely and the chef was extremely excited and you could tell he loved his work. The food was delicious and beautifully made. I'm no expert since it was my first Omakase but I'm told that their price is very reasonable for what you get.

Masterful Omakase from Wako with excellent cuts of fish, helpful and attentive servers, and dishes that were very small yet piqued my curiosity. But was it worth it? I'll let you be the judge. For three people, the total ended up being ~$500 and we were only allowed to be in the restaurant for 1 hour.

We came for an anniversary and it was an great experience. We did the tasting menu ($98 for 10 pieces of sushi, each one better than the last). We also really liked the waygu sushi. Incredible attention to detail and really attentive service from Tomo (the chef) and the rest of the staff. Would strongly recommend

AMAZING!!! I read about their history online, and had to check it out. Traveling solo, I wanted a cool bar to sit, and no doubt some awesome Sushi sounded fun. Lemme tell you something - THIS PLACE IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!! The chefs tasting was a MANDATORY! In addition, I got 2 other items and both were equally as delicate, fine, and sophisticated as the rest. Some bubbles and some hot Sake made for a perfect night!

Good Sushi. Just the right balance of flavor and the original taste of ingredients. Also their Omakase is of great value. we tried： Sweet Shrimp with Sea Urchin： 5/5 Sweet shrimp never let me down. Chu Toro： 5/5 Beltfish：5/5 My favorite！OMG item of the meal. They gave the fish a bit of torch, which added another layer of taste. Kampachi: 5/5 Japanese Blue Fish: 5/5 Bonito: 3/5 Somehow the Bonito tasted pretty watery, I didn’t enjoy this one. For hand rolls, we tried the Red Snapper one. The roe in it was too salty … didn't enjoy it. (I almost want to go with 4 stars after this hand roll) We also had some small plates they are okay but nothing special. In general, if the food is good. I don’t care that much about service. But our waitress knocked over a tea cup, which surprised me a bit.

Completely blew us away!! I’ve been a few times before but the most recent visit was definitely amazing. All the fish was prepared to perfection and the fish was so fresh. Love the 2 options of uni available. The anago took us by surprised and it was amazing! The dessert was also a hitter. Loved that it wasn’t too sweet. Definitely one of our go to sushi places now!
