  OG Panhandle neighborhood restaurant! Tsunami hits like a hidden GEM for locals on weeknights (IYKYK) but the crowds flock on weekends so make sure you have a reservation, though they will do everything in their power to accommodate walk ins. You can tell the service is something everyone working there really takes pride in. Food is amazing and always fresh. Vibey ambiance, good music, large Shochu selection. Their sister bar is just around the corner on Divisadero, Bar 821, and its the perfect place to stop pre or post dinner!

  My partner and I had sashimi omakase here and we both got FOOD POISONING one hour later. I called the restaurant to let them know what happened. The woman who answered the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE. She laughed and said “That’s not how it works!” Who the heck is she to deny what happened to us? I said that’s what happened, but she kept screaming “That’s not how it works!” and was not willing to hear anything. She added “Google it!” so here I am attaching the Google search result which clarifies that food poisoning can set in as soon as in just 30 minutes. She also argued that she is a doctor. By the way, I grew up eating sushi my whole life and usually never experience food poisoning from eating raw fish. This shows that the restaurant has horrible hygiene. The food was obviously contaminated and I was already feeling like puking right after eating. It tasted bad and some of my sashimi had BONES in it. Absurd. The staff is the rudest staff I’ve ever seen. They also add an 20% automatic tip after serving you contaminated fish and delivering such horrible service. We paid $$ to get food poisoning and get yelled at by the staff on the phone. They completely ruined our Valentine’s day. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

  Spent my Valentine’s Day taking turns on the toilet after we both got food poisoning from here. We ordered the sashimi for 3 people (most expensive item on the menu). The staff were also very rude. I asked for the check, and they brought me a dessert menu instead. Immediately after paying another staff asked us to leave because they had another reservation. Overall just a terrible experience and complete waste of $128.
