Definitely the best Japanese food in the Lower Haight (and vicinity), but this year (2006) they raised their prices (by 20%) so they're no longer also the best deal. Still, they have a really great environment, definitely the 'Best Music to Eat Sush By' (mostly Techno and Eclectic). Very un-pretensious Lower-Haight crowd.
Pros: Great music, great service, good crowd
Cons: No longer the best value
