1. Akikos
$$$$ | |The title of "best omakase" has many worthwhile contenders in the city, but many would name this newcomer as the most captivating sushi-centric tasting menu. It's undoubtedly a splurge and can feel a little Vegas-flashy, yet the raw and gently torched fish nigiri preparations are nothing short of remarkable. Service, glassware, ceramics and the ultra-polished, wood-heavy design centered on an abstract triangle-shaped sushi bar are of the highest level of contemporary luxury.

- Shokupan (milk bread) topped with tuna and caviar
- Superb sake and cocktail selection
- Pricey but worth it

2. Elephant Sushi
$$ | Russian Hill |Excellent, somewhat affordable sushi is the main event at this locals' favorite, so get ready to add your name to the waiting list; then watch the cable cars go by on Hyde Street. Luckily, post-wait, the creative sushi rolls and excellent, high-quality fish, as nigiri or sashimi, are always a delight.

3. Robin
$$$$ | Hayes Valley |The classic Japanese omakase experience (the chefs select the sushi and other small bites) gets a seasonal Californian influence at Adam Tortosa's hip, modern restaurant. The raw fish preparations are magnificent, and it's a relative deal where diners can name the price between $109 and $209, depending on their desire to splurge.
620 Gough St., San Francisco, California, 94102, USA415-448–7372-text onlyKnown For
- Exquisite nigiri with creative garnishes
- Caviar–potato chip bite
- Strong sake and wine lists

4. Sasa
$$ | Japantown |Japantown has a host of sushi options at all price points, but this longtime staple on the second floor of the Japan Center stands out for its excellent rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. The omakase menu, with eight pieces of sushi and nigiri, is a fraction of the cost of its downtown peers, but close to equal in quality and diner satisfaction. The mellow, wood-paneled space is a striking contrast to the constant chatter and mall activity outside.
22 Peace Plaza, San Francisco, California, 94115, USA628-600–6945Known For
- "mystery box" mini chirashi bowl
- Uni spoon with quail egg and ikura (cured salmon roe)
- An oasis in a busy mall
