Sushi Aoba - San Francisc

Overall, it was a pleasant experience but for the amount paid I expected a little better quality. Some courses included over cooked fish which were very tough (piece of shrimp in the egg drop soup was rubbery). It also seemed very odd as to when we were given soy sauce or ginger. The sashimi course included wasabi and soy sauce but no ginger while the nigiri course included only ginger. Lastly they asked if anyone in our party did not like wasabi which I do not but that preference was ignored when served nigiri.Despite all of this, the staff were very friendly and the quality of most dishes was great. Just seemed over priced for what was presented.

This place is so cute! It is very intimate they only have ~8 10 seats. The chef puts in a lot of care into each piece. For the price, I think they give a lot of food compared to other omakase places in SF. The fish quality is superb insanely fresh and melts in your mouth. The sushi rice was top notch.

Outright scam. Two bills for an embarrassingly comical dinner. The chef in 5 star raving review photos is not there anymore. Current chef is kind as can be, but it's as if he's never seen sushi made. Every course made us look at each other asking what, is, going, on, here?! After watching the sloppiness, the tupperware reused clamshell plastic containers, it was the scoop of the cheap swirl ice cream that made us say, okay this is a joke, not a style we've not seen before.

Omg. What happened to Sushi Aoba? This was one of my wife's favorite place. Let me start by saying that you will be full after the meal. There were plenty of courses and that's where it ends. The rice is cold, under cooked, and under seasoned. The fishes were mediocre in quality. They must have plated our food an hour before it was to be served. Everything was cold and underwhelming. The fish selections had a lot of repeats and not enough variety. This time around we didn't get the abalone as well. I knew something was off when we got served beef as and appetizer. When we turned to look since we sat on the table and not the counter, it was a different chef. I will not be back.

It's not the same Chef with the 5 star reviews. They still charge the price of $180 per person. The quality, craftsmanship and service are way off. I do not recommend.
