Ariake - San Francisco

Everything was delicious, and I especially loved the 49ers roll.

Incredible experience! I highly recommend trying the unagi eel. It's absolutely delicious!

The fish here is really fresh and delicious. My Japanese mother kept saying, "This is a REAL Japanese restaurant!" The staff was kind and friendly, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The meal was a bit pricey, but the quality justified the cost. It's one of the best casual sushi spots in the city.

Every sushi restaurant is very expensive and sometimes it's over priced. Ariake has a variety of fish and very good quality and the price reasonable for the very good quality. Had a hirame. Kampachi, Aji, albacore, iwashi, etc.

I had heard fantastic things about this restaurant, so I finally decided to visit for lunch with my kids on a weekday afternoon. When we arrived, there was only one other occupied table, where two women were chatting with the sushi chef for most of our visit. Our server was rather unfriendly and seemed somewhat irritated by our presence. The most welcoming person in the place was actually one of the customers at the next table, who engaged in a lovely conversation with my kids and me. Unfortunately, the food did not impress me at all. There are so many other excellent authentic Japanese restaurants in town, so our family won’t be returning.
