Hot Zushi

This is my cult favorite sushi spot in San Francisco. Do you want to support a small business? Feel like mom n pop restaurants are dead? COME TO HOT ZUSHI, it's cozy, and the green tea is perfection. Connie and her husband are a kind, efficient, duo that spin up fresh sushi every time.We come to Hot Zushi monthly, take our friends here, and visitors. If there is a wait, since there's only a dozen tables - I promise it's worth waiting for, just grab a drink across the street at the Woods. We haven't tried anything what isn't great but here are our favorites we rotate:- House salad is a MUST- Edamame - Miso - cucumber salad- wakame (seaweed)- Hamachi lime- Jalapeno tuna- big team - Big poppa- chronic- smashing pumpkins - tiger- any sashimaMy star rating:5 - must go!!! 4 - liked it, give it a try!3 - it was alright2 - I probably won't go back 1 - turnaround and run

Favorite spot in the city. It's quite unassuming when you walk by it, but definitely worth it. Connie is amazing, the food is fresh, the options are great.

Yum!! This place was so good and the service was awesome. The owners were so nice and very attentive. The tuna tataki, miso soup, seaweed salad, and the chronic roll were all amazing. Would definitely come back here. We both left stuffed for less than $40 each after tax and tip! Thank you to my Yelp Elite homies for showing me this place

The name of this place is absolutely deceiving, I seriously questioned how the food would be considering the name. To my surprise this place is great - the quality is fantastic and it's superrr reasonable!! Everyone is hyped on drenching their sushi in "eel sauce" and spicy mayo, this is not the place for that. It's fresh fish prepared well - very clean tasting. Even though it's not on the menu I've heard that you can request omakase, which I will definitely be getting the next time I'm in!

This is out go-to sushi place in SF. You can't get better than Hot Zushi. The attention is exceptional (Connie and David - the owners - are AMAZING humans) We come here probably once or twice every couple of weeks. Sometimes we dine in and often times we pick up to go (they don't deliver). My husband and I have made a tradition of celebration our birthdays here, and everyone that comes and tries their sushi are immediately converted into customers. Sushi is great and fairly priced which is so hard to find in the city. Highly recommend you order the crunchy sake, the tuna tataki, the nachos are to die for, and the sake kale is incredible. My mouth is watering just by writing this. My husband's favorite is the jagger (only order I'd you are dining in, because to-go, it will get soggy) The place can get crowded sometimes. Definitely worth the wait if you have to wait. The inside is nice and simple. And if you have a party, make sure you call ahead and they will make a reservation (please make sure you show up, and don't leave them hanging- a cancellation of a big party is a big deal for a small business like this)

Really enjoyed this hole in the wall sushi place! From the outside, it didn't look like much and I thought it was going to be cheap, not super great sushi. Even sitting down I wasn't too impressed because it was pretty empty for a Friday night. We ordered the Sake Kirota, Hot Stuff, and Delicious and they were really good! Same Kirota was carb free (they used a daikon instead) and it was definitely an interesting take on sushi. Personally not my favorite, but really glad I tried it and they gave pretty generous amounts of salmon. Hot stuff and delicious were really good! I was a huge fan of the tempura in the hot stuff and the delicious had a nice sweet kick that made it the perfect dessert sushi. The waiter was also very friendly! She was smiling all the time and seemed like dish a sweet person :)

I am a neighbor and a fan. The decor is plain, but the food and service are excellent. The fish is fresh and delicious. Their tempura is some of the best I've ever had. The Spider Roll is another favorite--I love soft-shell crab! And there's a good selection of sake. You can pay more in some fancy place, but you won't get any better than Hot Zushi!

The sushi is amazing. Crafted with such detail and care you can taste the TLC. Also some of their rolls have this great play with sweet and savory and crunch!! The hot sake was delightful as well. Is definitely my new fave.

I thought this was a great casual dinner spot and a good value! We paid about $60 for two people and left very full. I'm a vegetarian and really appreciate that they had some fun unique options for rolls! I got the garden roll which I HIGHLY recommend if you are a vegetarian - the garlic eggplant on it was reallyyyyy delicious and the tempura asparagus was incredibly crispy. I also got the buddha roll, it was just okay and I wouldn't rave about it. Honestly I would have been full with just the one garden roll. My boyfriend got three rolls - he liked the 49ers roll the best. The other two were pretty good too! Overall I thought this was a good place and the service was friendly.

Excellent food. Lovely people own & operate this wonderful sushi spot on Haight. Gyoza, miso, & everything is yummy!
