Seafood in San Francisco

“I don't often write reviews, but my recent visit to The Roll was truly exceptional. The combination of high-quality food and a great atmosphere left me beaming with joy. I ordered the Futomaki roll and Nigiri set, both of which were incredibly fresh and tender. The Umami Oden Soup I had as a side dish was also delicious. I'm already looking forward to returning and trying more of their dishes.”

“Amaaaazing food, amazing service, the ambience 10/10, the place very clean and cute, one of my fave places, very very veryyyy good fish quality, don’t hesitate on coming! Is excellent”

“The best sushi restaurant in SF. Foods were delicious, quality of food was great and service was excellent. I was very impressed by the quality of fish, even rice and soy sauce with reasonable price.”

“Been here many times, and it never disappoints. My fav- kaisen don, tuna yubu, mushroom appetizer, and oden soup. Surprisingly, the karaage curry don is the best curry I’ve had in SF. Such a hugh quality fish at a reasonable price. Good for dates or work dinners.”

“Incredible sushi - The Roll (the dish) is incredible”

“Best crab roll in the city and amazing service!”

“I am super excited to have futomaki restaurant near my place! Their rolls are amazing, but their Uni-Ikura yubu is the best!!! Definitely willing to try other foods next time.”

“First time here. The taste,atmosphere, and service was amazing. You must try the rolls and especially the Yubu are so tasty omg for real. I highly recommend here.”

“Visited on Sun the 27th. From Los Angeles here and have many options for sushi at home but none compare to The Roll. The fish is fresh and presented beautifully. I would have added a photo but I gobbled it all up as it looked so delicious. Picture perfect. Tony the server proveded top notch service. He's knowledgable of the menu and provided amazing suggestions for us to try. He's a super nice young man. I visit SF a couple times a year and will add this spot to my regular eating places. Ichiban!!!!”

“The oden soup was absolutely incredible, with a rich, flavorful broth that left a lasting impression. The sashimi was super fresh, and both the futomaki and yubu were delicious!! Especially the yubu, which quickly became my favorite. The staff was exceptionally kind and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a quick meal or a place to have drinks with great food, this spot is perfect. Highly recommended!”

“I’ve been here many times, and it just keeps getting better and better every time. The airiness of the shari is truly exceptional, and the balance and rich flavor of the aged sashimi are simply unparalleled!! I’ll definitely be back.”

“What a fantastic restaurant! We stopped in, not knowing what to expect, but we were VERY impressed. Everything we got was delicious, fresh, and beautiful. The edamame was great, fish items were incredibly crafted, and the service was even better.”

“It took me a long time to persuade my spouse to check out this newish place — because of the name, he thought they only served rolls! However, for those of you who want more than rolls, let me assure you that rolls are only a small section of the menu. I loved the Moriawase bowl; a delicious splurge, well worth it. The service was exceptionally good.”

“My friends and I decided to eat at this restaurant due to its good reviews, and it did not disappoint! All 3 of us loved our meals and drinks. The fish was fresh, and every dish was full of flavor. The service was very quick, and the owner was very attentive to our needs throughout our meal. Although we are not from San Francisco, when we return, we will definitely be back!”

“On a rainy day, my friend and I kicked things off with hot sake, which was just what we needed. The Kinoko Nimono was the perfect starter—light, flavorful, and absolutely memorable. We also tried their signature “The Roll,” which was packed with bold flavors and a great balance of textures. The standout, however, was the Unagi Yakiniku Don. The portion of unagi was generous, and the flavors were spot-on—easily one of the best I’ve had in San Francisco. I’ll definitely be coming back to this place soon!”

“Absolutely blown away by The Roll! The fish is incredibly fresh, the rice is unbelievably delicious — perfectly seasoned and just melts in your mouth. The service is top-notch: attentive, friendly, and fast. And the best part? The prices are surprisingly affordable for such outstanding quality. This place is a true gem — I can’t wait to come back!”

“Great roll. Lunch special is a great deal. Well flavored fish and rice.”

“Absolutely delicious futomaki, incredibly fresh sashimi, and the most delicate inari I’ve ever had! But what truly sets The Roll apart is the cozy and peaceful atmosphere, paired with top-notch service. Our server Kina was exceptional—her hospitality and professionalism made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this gem in San Francisco!”

“Wonderful food and atmosphere. The waiter was very attentive. So many people from the Pokemon xp festival came here also! The oden was delicious and the unagi yakiniku donburi was amazing. The lunch sushi set was amazing and authentic, you don’t need shoyu for the sushi as the chef has put enough shoyu for flavor.”
