Ingredients are good but not worth it for $1600 for 4 people. You’d better go to the omakase restaurants in SF. When we asked sake list, the chef didn’t provide it but only asked us what’s our budget. That’s rude. I still don’t get it why people go this place with that service. With that budget, you would get much better service, pleasant experiences out there.

Really nice experience with Sawa today. Talked a lot about everything. Clean environment and really fresh and sweet food! Urchin is really really sweet with shrimp! Lovely chef I have ever seen! Remember to make a reservation before coming, just needs to send text to Sawa. He will response really quickly! Phone number is on sawa sushi website!

The whole experience is spectacular. The food is excellent from Hokkaido. Chef is knowledgeable and he surely knows what he is doing. Enjoyed this Omakase experience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food, atmosphere, and service! Every plate we were served had a unique flavour, from the distinctly fresh sashimi to the handmade sauces paired with it. We also got to eat lots of sashimi and fish that’s normally hard to come by elsewhere due to their required freshness to serve. Particularly tasty was the “world’s best uni” that we had, which lives up to the bold claim. The atmosphere was quiet, allowing for easy conversation with Steve, the chef. He’s the only one running the show, and the care he puts into every plate is apparent in how good they taste. Pricey, but the experience of good food and the great personality of the chef are worth it.

We’re to eat here as it was one of my favorite sashimi restaurants and found they still make great sushi but changed the restaurant to reservations only and it’s a 6 course dinner for 160.00 per person. I imagine it’s probably worth it if you remember to make the reservation. Sorry you couldn’t serve me tonight.

Amazing Japanese beers and phenomenal sashimi in a casual environment. Steve will keep sending you unique dish after unique dish until you are stuffed. Expect to pay $200+ per person and reservations are highly recommended.

The food presentation was attractive, but the experience was just OK. One sashimi was not fully de-thawed and some of the courses felt too salty to us. The chef isn’t quite friendly but still added 18% tip by himself. Definitely not worth $460 for two persons.

We walked in from great ratings online. Unfortunately we didn’t realize the place was reservation only. The man who was serving food to a group pointed at his shirt which says “no reservation, there’s the door” it was awkward and showed a distinct lack of respect to us and the party for letting us walk into the private event. Perhaps the chef / owner should invest in a host and atrium to avoid such ridiculous interactions. We will not be back.

The chef is very rude, he is wearing a shirt that says “no reservation there is the door” .. When people walked in he didn’t even talk, he was pointing to his shirt waiting for people to read it.
