Hinata

james mori a week ago

I’ve lived in SF for almost 50 years and had never heard of this place. Always searching for my for better sushi option, Hinata filled the bill. Delicious prix fixe, Japanese omakase chef’s choice - very fresh, delicious items, with a contemporary spin on some traditional dishes. Great place and am definitely going back for more ❤️

Food and service were excellent - some of the best nigiri I’ve had. However, we were very disappointed to not be able to sit at the bar as we drove 3 hrs for our first omakase experience. I am a sushi chef myself and was excited to watch the sushi being made and engage with the chefs. We were seated at a table away from the bar. We made our reservation online through open table, and nowhere did it mention reserving the bar versus a table. There is only a section for “special requests” which I interpreted as a section to mention any food allergies, etc. As a result, we did not receive the full omakase experience we were expecting. This is something that should be clarified during the reservation process to avoid disappointing future customers. Maybe a specific question asking “bar” or “table” seating reservation. We would be happy to return for another experience, and next time I will be sure to call the restaurant directly to make sure they have my reservation down to be seated at the bar.

great service and really enjoyed the experience!! the chefs and hosts were all extremely friendly and made sure to keep our waters full and fill our plates right when we finished eating that atmosphere was intimate and a great place for a small birthday celebration! the omakase itself was quiet filling and the ice cream was delicious. I have had omakase at similar price point that i enjoyed more, but overall still had a great experience due to the presentation and majority of the plates!!

Such a reasonably priced omakase! The corkage fee is only $35, which is a great deal. The taste, the portions—everything was excellent. It’s a hidden gem with no reason not to go. I’m definitely going every time I come to San Francisco. This is the second sushi spot opened in SF by the owner of Sushi Jin, and the quality is so good, it’s totally worth the money.

I absolutely love Hinata! Every time I’m in SF, I make sure to stop by for omakase. The fish is always incredibly fresh, the ambiance is fantastic, and they have a great selection of sake. The chefs are a lot of fun, and adding on extra pieces is always worth it. I still remember their homemade sesame ice cream—it was so delicious. I’ll keep coming back whenever I’m in San Fran!
