I live nearby this restaurant, so I thought it was time to finally go. It's a standard American-Japanese restaurant serving par sushi. I was really disappointed. The service wasn't very good or attentive - they asked how we were doing when we were already finished with our meal. We were seated at th...

For even more privacy karaoke rooms are available bur there is min. Charge so its for larger groups ( or small but hu...

Overall, a very good quality restaurant. Ambience was chill. The waitresses were all super pleasant. The food was very good as well.

The best part about Sankesan? The $1 Oyster! So darn good. Go just for this.

The rolls were interesting. The Giant roll, was very unique in its ingredients - cra...

I had a chirashi bowl from here and it was quickly delivered. It came with 10 pieces of sashimi and two pieces of tamago, soft sushi rice and a little bit of seasoning. All in all, a nice dinner just right for me and although it looked small, it was plenty of food. Fish was fresh so definitely try i...

This is a great late night restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The service from the staff was outstanding and our order arrived at our table piping hot. We ordered off their happy hour menu which had a good selection to choose from.

Came here for their late night happy hour, 10pm-1130pm. HH menu wasn't too bad. Got a dozen of the $1 oysters. Referencing other reviews, it's true, the oysters are small, hence the $1. Got the spicy salmon roll off the HH menu, and ordered a couple other special rolls off the regular menu. Interest...

The food is alright over here but here's the reason why I gave only 2 stars
#1 service is really bad over here : I needed water and to add more things no one came to check with us for almost 40 mins what we needed
#2 they could do better job cleaning the area where you take your shoes off , when ...

It was bad. The music was very loud, so we couldn't even talk to each other and had to scream. They didn't bring edamame even though we've ordered it. They didn't put soy sauce on the table, so we had to run across the restaurant to steal it from another table. Our waitress was never there. And when...

Trendy atmosphere with a neat seating arrangement and plenty of separation between groups. Both the food and the ambiance are a bit on the cheeky side (karaoke and "OMG" rolls) but make for good entertainment. The Gambler was probably the biggest crowd pleaser of the night.

One of my favorite sushi spots in SF. Great decor (love the traditional seating area - beware, shoes off here), the funky lights and the karaoke rooms out back. They are open late on Friday and Saturday nights which is a plus, as many other restaurants on Clement are closed. Get The Gambler sushi - ...

Sakesan is fantastic! I've gone here about 10 times, and every time their sushi has been fresh and incredibly tasty. It can be difficult sometimes to find parking around their area, so definitely plan on some other transportation to get there.

It has an usually hip atmosphere for the Inner Richmond, including glass-walled private dining rooms. The service was attentive & I liked the menu.

Some thoughts about individual items ordered. We had the Sea Bass, Spicy Tuna Tacos, Hamachi Jalapeno roll & 49er roll - it was all tasty.

There...

Friends recommended Sakesan for dinner, and it did not disappoint! Waiting is probably a regular thing, even with tables available we had to wait about 10 minutes. We got to sit in one of the three fun front tables, elevated, shoes off... More

Great restaurants for large groups. Unique rolls only to the Bay Area. Great fresh rolls.

The house sake is served hot at $8.

They have rooms for karaoke and birthday parties. I came here because it was open late for a Sunday.

Great little place with a variety for Japanese food. They have c...

This is the best "casual sushi" place in SF in my opinion. It's incredible and reasonably priced, it's fun, they have good music/karaoke, the service is quick and friendly, and you should order the salmon avocado roll with spicy mayo.

Oysters are $1 a piece, size are small, taste is ok. I order miso saba, mistakenly thinking it would be something like I taste in Tokyo. The plate was presented with a measly 3 small pieces of grilled saba that has no hint of miso, yet Sakesan over charged for this. The rest of my sushi experience a...

Awesome dining experience! Great sushi. The Gambler was a fun roll to get for the table and (having "lost" the roulette) the spicy was hot...but certainly not terrible. Just enough spice for the fun.

If you are new to sake, order a Fer smaller bottles to share.

Great place to bring the whole f...

I was a little shocked to find a groupon deal for this place, but hey I ain't complaining!

We started our meal with some oysters and the dynamite baked mussels. Both extremely good. The oysters are big, cold and juicy. The mussels were baked in a very unique way, we really liked them.

We had s...

Sakesan is a fun sushi spot with good fish, karaoke rooms and a few traditional low tables. I came here on a Friday night and had no issue walking in and sitting at the sushi bar. Had the ahi tacos, a couple or rolls and beer and wine. Overall the rolls were well made, the fish was fresh and the ...

Dishes here are hit or miss. Their udon is DELICIOUS and I would get it again. The sushi rolls vary. The one with salmon and mango inside was delicious. The one with Kani on a spider roll was a bit fishy and underwhelming (sorry I forgot the names of the rolls!)

Sakesan is extremely reliable, and exists in some strange little niche gap of almost affordable for a decent quality.
Maybe I m cheap, but this seems fair given the quality that you get when compared to a more quality sushi restaurant.
They have karaoke in the back and pop music player 24/7, but t...

Great overall experience. The food can be a bit pricey, but if you are renting out a karaoke room it is totally fair and acceptable. I heard their happy hour is decent as well, but I mainly hold off unless its time to sing my heart out.

This was by far the absolute WORST sushi I ve ever had in my entire life. Some of the sushi I ordered was a Godzilla and Spider roll and both came with hardly any meat in them as you can see in the pictures. The rolls themselves were also the tiniest roll I ve ever seen. Barely bigger than a thumb j...
