I am Japanese. I visited SF from Tokyo. I strongly recommend Miso Ramen of Katanaya. That is the one of best Ramen in the outside of Japan. I can't comment other food because I ate only Ramen in there. It is worth visiting this restaurant for especially Japanese who want and yearn for Ramen. BTW, the map on the site was wrong. This restaurant is in Geary street, between Taylor st. and Mason st.. Pros: Miso Ramen!!

This is a very non-pretentious, small, but clean sushi restaurant that focuses on what's really important - quality sushi and really hearty ramens and udon noodle soups. I love this place. The prices are reasonable, yet, they offer a wide variety of creative sushi rolls, fresh nigiri and sashimi that melts in your mouth, and very true authentic Japanese cuisine. I am a sushi freak and expert. I've been to many, many sushi restaurants all over the Bay Area, and this place, by far, beats a lot of the restaurants even in Japan Town, Richmond and Sunset Districts in SF. Trust when I say that this place is well worth your while to have lunch and dinner. I highly recommend getting there between 5:30pm and 6:15pm to avoid the dinner rush (it literally packs up by 6:15pm and then a line forms right about that time), or after 8:00pm. You won't be sorry you waited though if you get stuck in line. Enjoy! Pros: Reasonable prices, excellent quality of food and creative, open late Cons: Parking, small restaurant with few tables so doesn't accommodate large groups
