Sushi Chef

This place doesn't feel too busy, but that's moreso a reflection of the ambiance. It's a quieter spot with the tables fairly spreadout. We ordered the sashimi platter ($48), the fish is fresh with somewhat thicker cuts, and big portions. The sake menu is limited but has some tasty choices.Got some uni nigiri and scallop nigiri which were very delicious. The Toro roll that we ordered was an interesting combo of flavors but really grew on me after the first bite.Also, they use fresh wasabi here instead od horseradish!We were mostly left alone to chat and eat, and it was really easy to flag someone down for a little extra ginger. This kind of service works well for this type of place.Great spot and would visit again.

Located on the cusp of Chinatown and North Beach, this small Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem. With few seats, if possible would suggest calling ahead to get a spot at the counter which is the perfect spot to experience the omakase dinner. I would recommend getting the 10 piece set which offers a variety of high quality, handmade nigiri from bluefin otoro to hamachi, well worth the slightly higher price point. Additionally with the inclusion of mackerel to wagyu beef and uni with salmon roe and caviar, the omakase set provides a wide variety of fresh seafood to experience. Don't let the size or location fool you - Sushi Chef offers excellent sushi at a reasonable price that is as good if not better than many other spots in the city.

good neighborhood spot with bar seating and tablesFriendly serviceAffordable omakase with a good variety of pieces to try (wagyu, o toro, uni) Rolls are also pretty tasty - we got the dynamite and spider rolls (spider roll was only 5 pieces but the combined ingredients were tasty)

Went to the After Dark Show tonight. Since we were in the neighborhood we were looking for somewhere to eat and it was in the early transition time from lunch to just hitting dinner time. Walking by the happen to flip the sign that they were "open". We decided it would be good we were the first customers. Ambiance is great very clean inside. The food was super fresh and delicious, service was excellent. This place was really good and a great find

Love this spot! One of my fav classic type of sushi spots in the City. Never disappointed with my order. The toro is so good. Also great service every time :) cute, trendy, and intimate! I ordered directly through their website this time and got the free edamame ! :)

I go to there second time, but this time the experience is poor. We order the O Toro Sashimi the taste is so bad, it's like a toro series .When we reported this to the waiter, the waiter did not take appropriate action and only said that he would report the situation to the boss.We are very disappointed. But the Rame , sushi blow, tofu and tempura taste good. I really hope that your sashimi ingredients can be improved and your customers' opinions can be dealt with promptly and correctly.

We celebrated Valentine's Day early this year and I picked Sushi Chef as our dinner stop before seeing the show at Club Fugazi. Upon arrival, I noted it was much smaller than I expected, with about 5-6 tables and I think they're reservation only, or at least strongly recommended. We were quickly seated and the staff were very prompt and helpful as we worked our way through the menu. We both had a drink, an appetizer and shared a few rolls. Compared to the other sushi restaurants we've been to, this feels a bit more "fancy" but the prices are still very reasonable - which works well for a date night or if you just want to treat yourself without blowing your budget. We enjoyed everything, B was especially a fan of their garlic edamame. After tip it was a little over $100 for the two of us, which was less than expected. We're not in the area a lot but I'd definitely return and recommend it.

Went here 2 times for lunch, the first time I ate 2 rolls there and it was delicious I was alright. But the second time I ordered takeout and omakase (10 pc nigiri) was in the order. I ate it and had food poisoning. 3 hours after I ate it l started to feel really sick and had diarrhea and vomited. After this, I threw away the whole order of sushi afraid that the other sashimi and rolls were also contaminated. After this bad experience, I think I will not come here again.

Me and my girlfriend had a fantastic meal at sushi chef last night! The Omakase was made with vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients, the chefs and servers are incredibly friendly service with Good service .I highly recommend this restaurant

"The food was delicious we ordered toro special as chef recommended that was perfectly fine.I also have duck ramen the portion is big and yummy.the servers are friendly and well served for the atmosphere although it is not too big which is cozy place to chill nice decoration. The chef even offer me some sake shot I will definitely comeback this place
