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.

We love this place. it's moderate to highly priced, but the food it top notch. Great selection of sushi and sashimi, and also delicious hot dishes.. I've had the sukiyaki many time. Best part for me is the selection of sake-based cocktails - get the ozeki and you won't be disappointed. Saw George Lucas here once so has some appeal

Richard the bartender was great - explained the different sake selections in detail, and even gave me a taste of some of the unfiltered sake which was great. The fish was fresh, which really defines the difference between good sashimi and bad sashimi. Overall a great experience for a single businessman's night out on the town.
Pros: Waitstaff friendly, fresh fish

Ive been to Nihon few times that I must admit by now that I know few of the servers & the manger.
I told some of my coworkers to visit with me and was surprised that one told me that they got some "not so good" reviews here. Being surprised, I read them & I thought I should add my 2 cents even though I never write reviews since I disagree with most.
Most people complaints are due to them simply being cheap. Many people likes to hang out & go to great places but they are either cheap or dont have the money to party. It is a fact that Nihon is not cheap "drink wise' but I cant remmebr where you can get a cocktail now for less than $10 and thats what you seem to pay at Nihon, even though I always bought bottles there. The food is darn fresh "sachimi" I know as unlike most, I can afford to eat out & I know whats good & whats fresh.
I must advise those who budget to hang around few of the cheap mission bars and simply leave Nihon to people like us. People like us I mean are those who work hard, make good money & wants to hang in places with excllent service, they know you by name & take care of you. Plaese stay away if you cannot afford it.
Pros: Whisky, Service, Food
Cons: Out of the way

San Francisco is loaded with outstanding restaurants. Recently, with our good friends Terye and Jacob Levy, we ate at Chaya Brasserie, located down in the Embarcadero.
This place is great and has one of the most spectacular views in the city. The industrical-chic decor blends well with the Franco-Jaopanese cooking Chaya introduced to the Bay Area in 2000 (and Los Angeles 1984). In Japan, the legendary and original Chaya restaurant has been around for 358 years. Wow.
Try to get one of the few window tables up front with the Oakland Bay Bridge view. The 1989 earthquake helped by collapsing the unsightly freeway out front.
As per usual in this town, we all had a great dining experience. The food, ambiance and service were all up to the high-end San Francisco standards. As a Seattle native, I am almost embarrassed to say that the Salmon entree was as good as I have ever had.
However, Allyn, who is a Sea Bass aficionado, did not care for her fish. She was not even sure that it was Sea Bass. Her decision to return ithe mystery fish was an easy one, as it was dry and overcooked. Our helpful and appologetic waitress was very quick to accommodate.

I've been here couple of times. I still like it. The prices and the food is not too bad. All my friends and I usually go there on the weekend for chatting and hot saki. Really a great place.

It sounds cliche, but Ebisu really is the best sushi in SF. I have been going to Ebisu for at least twenty years and I have never been disappointed. The wait can sometimes be long, so if I'm in a hurry, I try to get there right at 5pm for an early dinner. You have to be adventurous here - do not come to Ebisu and only eat California Rolls or Chicken Teriyaki (although I have been here with wimpy friends and the the teriyaki does look good). Everything is always absolutely fresh and the tuna sashimi melts in your mouth. If you can't do "raw" (or even if you can) go for the a Pink Cadillac, the grilled salmon or yellow tail collar, anything with unagi or soft shell crab.

My girlfriend and I were frequently eating at Tempura House on Powell, never really noticing Sushi Rika a mere 2 blocks away. But now that we've tried it, we won't go anywhere else in the area for sushi.
The rolls are excellent, and there are so many good ones to choose from. Prices are reasonable, and considering the quality it's a great value. We especially like the Swabble roll, and the Mountain Fuji is quite tasty as well. And as another reviewer pointed out, the seared tuna salad is worth trying. You can see their whole menu at their website, sushirika dot net (I guess CS doesn't let you put in websites?).
Sake and beer are standard prices, the shochu cocktails are pretty good. In the three times we've been here, we've had consistently good service.
The only disappointment is some of the cooked food. We ordered a dinner platter for two, and most of the cooked stuff was just not good. Other reviewers have noted this too: just come here for the sushi!
About the free parking: you have to look for a sign on the corner of Bus(h) (CS finds a lot of words inappropriate!) and Taylor, call the number and have them open it. Kind of a pain, but still it's nice to have free parking.
Pros: Sushi, service, open late
Cons: Most of the cooked food, pain to get parked
