One of Eiji's Favorite Reviews
Wow! I found my favorite sushi restaurant! One of my friends was in town for the weekend, so we decided to check out Eiji due to the Yelp ratings. Upon entering the restaurant, I felt like I had just walked in someone's dining room. It is so cozy, warm and inviting; the limited seating (approx. 25 seats) help to create the intimacy of the atmosphere. I highly recommend the miso soup, seaweed salad, poke roll, and the miso walnut eggplant (the miso walnut eggplant is on the "special board", not the menu, so don't miss it!). Thank you, Yelp! :) Eiji was absolutely amazing!

Pricey and over-rated - yuppie hangout. We waited for over 45 minutes for a table while we watched the snooty yuppie in front of us, struggle with his chopsticks. The counter had room for two seats and the waitress offered to seat us over there when the couple sitting there left but they were still there when we got done eating and left and were already eating when we got there. The special miso soup was not so special at all and was lukewarm, the sushi rolls were for lack of a better word "AWFUL". The rice was too sticky and completely mushy. TOTTEMO MAZUKATTA I say - totally tasteless. The sardines were very fresh I must say and their fresh tofu was good too. Would I go back - Uh, let me waste no time in saying NO - TRUST ME.
4.5 stars based on 282 reviews--are you kidding me? Maybe if this was on a 10-star scale!
My friends and I had the Broiled Sake-Miso Black Cod, Uni/Sea Urchin, Aji/Spanish Mackerel, Spicy Tuna Roll, Caterpillar Roll, Rainbow Roll, and mango and red bean mochi ice cream. Seems like a lot of food for three people, but I had to eat a second dinner when I got home--no joke.
The black cod (butterfish) was palatable but not worth $11.50. I could've eaten it in three small bites. The sushi was nothing exceptional except exceptionally small--it was sushi I sleepwalked through eating. I liked the Spicy Tuna Roll best because it had flavor unlike the others. The piece of unagi/eel in the Caterpillar Roll was so tiny it went under the taste bud radar--same goes for the imitation crab in the Caterpillar Roll. This was the first time I've had uni/sea urchin and it was really unmemorable. The mochi ice cream was the best part of the meal, but when is it ever bad?
I hate to dog on a beloved neighborhood sushi joint, but this place was a disappointment. To make matters worse, the waitress kicked us out immediately after we paid the bill because there was a party waiting for our table (which we had a reservation for).
This is the fourth flop my friend and I have faced in San Francisco. Every place we've been to has been overrated and underwhelming--from Thai to chowder to Chinese to sushi. Where the good eats at? Should I be questioning my move to the Bay Area?

It's hard not to give this place a great review.
The service was good, the food was great. I had the cold hoome-made tofu, a couple of really tasty rolls, and the strawberry mochi dessert.
The location is adorable and I will definitely be going back!
I really like the concept, I really like the physical space, I really like the fact that it's in the hood and nestled away on a quiet residential street...
I really really wanted to like the food, but for me it was just average. The fish seemed pretty fresh and I was satisfied with my nigiri. I would assume the sashimi to be good too but I didn't order any. The rolls were pretty underwhelming though.
Not sure if I would go back. It's certainly not bad, but there's other places I like better that are nearbye.

I just returned from visiting this fabulous sushi joint for the first time. Hurray! What a wonderful, neighborhood sushi joint that sticks to the basics. The food and atmosphere were wonderful! Very fresh sushi. Great flavors all around.
We had many rolls: shitake mushroom, rock n' roll, rainbow, spicy tuna, the very tasty Ceviche roll, and one more that I cannot remember (but it was great also). We started with the obligatory edamame and seaweed salad. We ordered a 2nd seaweed salad after we finished the first order in approximately 45 seconds.
I look forward to returning to this little gem!

The hubster and I decided to have lunch in the city one Sunday afternoon. I decided to come here since Tiff L and I tried to eat here for lunch one day and..umm.. FAILED. They were on vacation..just our luck. Anyway.. We got there an hour before closing and left about 15 mins after closing.
The interior is very cute and cozy...stylish without being contemporary. You can definitely taste the quality and freshness of their ingredients. We had an apetizer, a few rolls and the oboro tofu. The tofu was very fresh and reminded me of the chinese sweet tofu soup (minus the sweetness). It came with a variety of toppings and a soy-like sauce. My favorite toppings are green onion and sesame seed.
For dessert we tried the mochi and I'm glad we each got our own because it was the best red bean paste i've ever tasted! The strawberry was so fresh and sweet, it couldn't have been better!
I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu (ahem Tiff L.).
this place is DELICIOUS. Small, but absolutely fresh & wonderful. They make the tofu fresh and the sashimi is fabulous
just make a reservation *yes, they are that small!!!!

As a treat for my brother, i took him out to the city for some sushi and ice cream. I looked on yelp and picked this shop as a stop to sit and savor some sushi. I had not had a chance to really sample good sushi but eiji provides superior food for someone looking to get into sushi. My brother and i ordered miso soup, the California roll, and the deluxe platter, 11 pieces of nigiri and a tuna roll. I did not know what a treat eating here would be.
The miso soup came first. It was excellent, milky and spicy. It was a real treat to slurp up. though it was a "specialty miso so i cant say try the miso soup, even if i have high regards for the chef who prepares the food.
The California roll was excellent. My brother wasn't as adventurous as i was so he had the majority of this. The rice was perfect and filled my brother up quickly.
The 11 piece nigiri is perfect for anyone wanting to try sushi out. Chefs choice, he gives a variety of sushi, including saltwater eel, which was my favorite, salmon roe, tuna, and salmon. I was astounded how good the food mixed and balanced all while keeping my stomach at peace. The wasabi provided an excellent kick and the pickled ginger was to a T great compliment. I highly advise the deluxe sushi for anyone willing to try out different sushi. and for 23 bucks? you can beat it.
the strawberry mochi was perfect. I really had never had bean paste that good and with strawberries? i would never except such a combination to taste that good.
Eiji puts time and effort towards the quality of their food. The key is they also provide quantity. A great shop that should have a "people love us on yelp" sticker.

Just had their sushi lunch special - the one that comes with a great variety of fish and a tuna roll all for 12.50. Their miso soup really stood out. Usually I think all miso is pretty much the same but theirs was very tasty and had a great balance of flavors. I also tried the homemade strawberry mochi despite being overwhelmingly full from the sushi special. I would strongly recommend trying it. Very unique flavor.

Holy Mackerel! This place is awesome, quaint and reminds me of places that I went to back in Japan. The store front is not screaming for attention like some other Japanese sushi restaurants because they don't need the attention. The service, food and atmosphere will bring me back again and again. I must say that if you show up right when they open, getting a seat won't be a problem. If you show up an hour into opening...well, you might want to bring a Tomagatchi or a Rubix's Cube and wait outside for a little bit until a seat opens up. Get the home made daily Strawberry Mochi before they sell out. It's not that frozen crap. This is the real fresh deal.
ps - I give them bonus points for the hot hand towels before you eat.
A good, intimate local sushi restaurant. I've been here three times; tonight, a few days after they opened a couple years ago, and once somewhere in between.
The first time I ate here, I was the only person in the restaurant. The husband prepared my sushi while the wife waited nearby, and then, sort of charmingly I suppose, stood in the doorway to the kitchen and pretty much watched me eat. So I'm glad to see they're getting enough business to spread the attention around now.
The second time here I tried, among other things, the freshly-prepared tofu. Raw, fresh tofu is a pretty austere experience. Frequently, I find these Japanese pairings of an overtly plain base with (to my American palate) shockingly flavorful spices/seaweeds/fish sauces to be a bit much. I think I prefer flavors that blend smoothly or stick to one section of the spectrum. But it is an experience, and if those flavor sensations are something you appreciate then it's well worth it. I mean it's worth it once or twice on fiend points alone.
This most recent trip I started off with an octopus salad - the tako sukomono - which isn't something I usually order. I felt adventurous and was rewarded for it. Long, half-centimeter thick cuts of octopus on a nice vinegary cucumber salad. Nema S. was impressed. The ceviche roll is delicious although I feel like it could use a little more zest. The shiro maguro was entirely decent - not best-of-class but but where it lacked those most delicate flavors it filled in with silence, which is better than fishiness. And actually Nema preferred it to the toro, although for my part I thought the toro was tops. Buttery in both flavor and texture, smooth taste, really prime.
Eiji is intimate, tasteful, tasty, and probably a really good place to take a date...or a housemate, in this case. I was able to get a 8:00 reservation, calling at 7:20 on a sunday, but from the other reviews it sounds like that might be a lucky break. At any rate...enjoy.

If you've been to Tokyo and found a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere, ( or Roppongi, or Shibuya, or Ueno for that matter), and you've found a place that you thought no other white person, ( or tourist) has eaten at before, and neither you speak Japenese, and your host doesn't speak your language , but you've managed to get an amazing authentic meal, and you pat yourself on the back and praise yourself out loud! That's Eiji. My Japanese friend showed me this place. Who is my Japanese friend you ask? Oh , that's just Hiromi, her grandmother was recognized by the state of California for being the first female sushi chef in the small country of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Her mother is also a sushi chef / Owner of two Japanese restaurants in Japan town L.A. called; Haru-ul-ala, and Sushi-go. So before you start going off about, "it's not authentic Japanese", " I'm from Japan, and ..Blah mother fucking , blah , blah , blah ..!!##%&*@. Shut the fuck up, this place is good, I'm a mother fucking chef and have been cooking for over 14 years , and my tastebuds kick yours right in the ass, so fuck off. Oh yeah , by the by, get the strawberry moochi, salmon salad( fucking awesome), and the tofu...don't you dare leave without getting the tofu. Best tofu in S.F.Ask what's fresh before ordering the sushi, I had the toro, and uni. Cheers mate, and have a lovely day!
I got the regular sushi combo and the miso walnut eggplant as a take out dinner.
The miso walnut eggplant was pleasantly salty and I really liked the combination of miso and walnut. Be forewarned that this dish takes a while to prepare. I had to wait about 25 minutes for my take out order.
The sushi combo was really good. I'm usually leery of the sushi combos but this was great! Each piece was fresh and tasty, and there was a good variety of flavors and textures.
Awesome Sushi! love the fact they make their own tofu.
Sashimi that melts and dances in your mouth. mmmm i love hamachi!
Will def go again!
I just consumed these foods. The foods were pretty good. Although I eat sushi often, I rarely eat REAL sushi. That is, I don't eat sashimi, nigiri, etc. I am a roll guy. I enjoy items that have "Spicy" and or "Caterpillar" in the title. This establishment had both of these things! Huzzah! They also had big f'n bottles of beer. Hooray beer!
I feel that this review may be a tad unfair because I do recall this meal being quite delicious. Maybe even 4 star delicious. But my issue is that I have beef with sushi in general. I love it, it's fantastical, but I never get full off of it. Maybe I have a tape worm and this highly disciplined invertebrate is on a strict sushi diet. Although if this is the case than I have had this sushi worm for some time. It is quite possible that I might be 30% worm at this point. I feel like Mortimer might be a good name for a worm. Morty for short.
(note: I am actually completely free of all types of worms. So i got that going for me...which is nice.)

Phenomenal sushi. The strawberry mochi gets it the five stars.
I was in the city for lunch today, and stopped in at Eiji for the first time. The sushi lunch special is $12.50, for chef's choice. The nigiri was very good, fresh, and nice soft texture (no trouble biting into it) I was very happy. The only thing that disappointed me was that the chef chose to give me a plain tuna roll (which was fine) but also gave me a maguro nigiri. I didn't like getting served the same fish twice, I would have loved to try something different. But with that aside, it was good stuff. I finished off with the homemade mochi with a delicious sweet strawberry and bean paste inside. It was awsome.
I do have agree with most of the other reviewers, this place does have some real fresh sashimi which is pretty hard to find these days in the city. The fish doesn't smell as if its been sitting around for awhile and the meat wasn't flaking apart. Eiji is a small little restaurant where it could only fit about people 20 in there max so I wouldn't try to bring in a big birthday crowd. Only reason why I gave it a 3 start instead of 5 is because my buddies and I were a pack of hungry wolves and we left as a pack of starving wolves. The portion was small and wasn't filling at all for the price. $17 a head for the tofu, 4 rolls, and the deluxe sashimi. It felt like we had only ate some appetizer and walked off. It is a place if you want a quick snack, but don't go there for a real dinner. As for the fresh tofu, definitely try it out for the first time to taste the texture and slight sweetness of it. I don't think I'll be getting it for the second time though.
After reading countless reviews of this place I HAD to take my sushi loving booty here. My other sushi loving friend accompanied me to enjoy this experience.
I made reservations, yes I highly recommend this. We were running late thanks to SF traffic so I called and they cheerfully moved it 15 mins. later and told me to drive safely! When we arrived we were immediately greeted and seated at our table that had the "RESERVED" happily waiting for us.
We ordered the salmon and maguro (tuna) sashimi. Ebi, tamago, ikura and hamachi nigiri sushi. Oshinko (pickled daikon), Rock'n Roll, Spicy tuna, Dragon and Poke (spicy white tuna) roll. With ginjo wakatake sake, beer and soda to wash it all down.
When our server brought the the sashimi, I took one look at the fish and new it was fresh. A quick dip in the wasabi with soy sauce and into my mouth...it melted. OMG! As we devoured the sashimi I looked over and saw the infamous fresh strawberry mochis in a glass container. Something told me to tell our server to put some on my tab before they sold out.
When our sushi was brought to us with 15 mins of us being seated. The server place a huge tray with a massive amount of sushi beautifully displayed. Glen and I looked at each other and knew we were about to get into trouble. All the rolls were nicely portioned. All the fish was butter soft and just melted away with each bite. The rice wasn't sticky it had the right amount of starchiness so that it would not take away from the fish. Oh and the sushi doesn't give you the bloated feeling which is awesome all the more reason to eat more! I noticed they make their own tofu before your very eyes! Im trying that next time I come here (who wants to come with me?)
Oh and the strawberry daifuku! This alone can bring in 5 stars! Huge fresh strawberries covered with red bean paste and a layer of mochi...HEAVENLY! It's not too sweet so you can practically eat one after another without going into a sugar coma.
The restaurant is tiny (hence why reservations are recommended). The décor is minimal which makes it feel like an actual sushi restaurant in Tokyo.
P.S.
Almost everywhere I go I see the "people love us on Yelp" sticker on their window, this place doesn't, what's the deal? This restaurant is almost at a perfect 5 star average rating!

This is what happens when good yelp reviews go bad. It's actually more of a 3 star place, but I feel I need to offset all the raving 5 star reviews.
"The salmon miso is not to be missed" advises Sarah M. Must be why they already ran out. "Their strawberry mochi is the bomb diggity!" claims Dan G. The last one just walked by and it's not headed my way.
Tried to go here on a previous occasion but found the hour + wait unbearable. Came back with a reservation and still had to wait before being sat at the BAR.
The fish itself was ok, but not really exciting. I don't get it. Why would I wait an hour and a half to sit elbow to elbow in a shoebox for food that's just ok?
Oh yea...because yelp told me to.

One of the best sushi I've ever tasted in California for real!!! It's a tiny sushi place, which I like, and the staff are Japanese- speaking English with an accent. Came here for my hubby's birthday... he doesn't like tofu, but he said that the homemade tofu they have.. the steamed "cold tofu" is delicious!!! So, SCORE!!!
We had Toro (fatty tuna) sashimi... OMG!!! it was awesome!!!, but it is pricey.. about $20 for two pieces of sashimi!!! It was well worth it but still, we were in shocked!! about how good and expensive they are.
And, lets talk about the homemade strawberry mochi they freshly made everyday... OH! SOOOOO GOOODD!!! It is soo good that they only limit one to the number of people in your party. Too bad.
Anyway, all the other prices for their sushi are decent close to cheap, and they are very good. I would make this my favorite sushi place in SF.

From the outside you would NEVER think of this place to be such a gem. It's very tiny, and I would recommend making reservations.
Everything is so fresh! You can always taste the goodness-I had the miso walnut eggplant-very tasty, and they eggplant was as fresh as can be.
I'm not a huge tofu fan, but I split the oboro tofu with mt colleague and loved it!
Will return.
Tried this place out for the first time this week and we were all very happy we did. * First off, if you are interested in getting the strawberry mochi dessert, see if you can ask them to hold some for you cause by the end of our meal, they told us they had already sold out and I had to refrain from crying at the table since I was so looking forward to it.
We ate til we were full, had alcohol, appies, desserts, and out bill came out to $111 before tip. It was pretty inexpensive for what we ate! We had the fat belly tuna steak, toro, oboro fresh tofu which was very interesting, the eggplant with walmut miso topping was awesome.
The place is small, make a reso, don't be lazy. Parking wasn't that bad, took me about 10 mins to find. I can't wait to go back and get the strawberry mochi.

I had NO idea how popular this place was. Luckily we arrived when we did without a reservation. (I think we got there around 6ish on a tues.) Anyone who came in after us who didn't have a reservation got turned away.
My NY friend picked this place because of the yelp reviews. The sashimi we got there was ok. She said it was nothing to write home about. The stuff we TOTALLY loved was the:
- home made Tofu (it came with a cute schmorgusborg of tofu toppings such as ginger, sesame seeds, dried fish flakes, green onions, etc)
- baked eggplant with a miso walnut topping (DA BOMB! The topping was a little sweet with a tinge of saltiness. It was a great combination of flavors)
- ice cream mochi (good to know there's a bubbie's alternative here on the main land)
- strawberry mochi ( strawberry coated in a layer of red bean that's wrapped in mochi)
It was kind of a pricey meal (Almost $9 for the mochi and $8 for the strawberry mochi) But SO worth it! The deluxe sushi plate at about $23 seemed like a pretty good deal.
Overall I would totally come back here for the house specialties. mmmmmmm... I shall be dreaming of mochi covered strawberries dancing in my head.

This is a nice small sushi place off the somewhat busy Castro main streets. It is small though. Like the size of a studio apartment. The food was pretty good. The waitresses spent the time to explain everything that was brought out which is good if youve never had sushi. I actually only came here for the strawberry mochi... Service was good, food ok, nice small place.

With apologies to my lovely friends who invited me to come out with them to dinner here, I have to say that I have yet to find a sushi restaurant in SF that is really excellent. I found the tofu here unremarkable, the special miso soup boring, the various sushi rolls predictable and average, and the strawberry mochi completely unrevolutionary and overpriced!! What is the big friggin' deal, I ask you. Maybe it was the stone in my veggie roll that soured me to this place...

Just want to throw my compliment into the mix. This is my favorite sushi place and in my favorite neighborhood! Win Win! What can I say that hasn't been said already...yes it is small so make a reservation! The fish is unbelievably delicious, the service is great and the strawberry mochi cannot be missed!
Mmm Eiji, definitely one of my favorite places in San Francisco! This really is a 4-5 star sushi place. The broad selection of fish is incredibly fresh and of high quality, and the rolls are expertly prepared. Be sure to try the oboro tofu as well! I'm looking forward to going back and trying the soba, the other types of tofu, and the saikyo yaki. Eiji is very small, and very Japanese, so make a reservation and don't bring a large party. You won't regret it!

Holy sh*t.
I've died and gone to sushi heaven.
Never before have I been to a place quite like Eiji, where they bring a new meaning to the word authenticity.
I was beginning to get a bit tired of the same ol' chicken teriyaki bentos and california roll boringness, until last night when I dined at Eiji. They served the most unique Japanese dishes I've ever had!! For example...
1) Mochi covered Strawberries!! Not only was the mochi the freshest I've had in years, but combine that with a ripe & juicy strawberry and you've got quite the dessert.
2) Special Miso. A miso base w/ slices of cooked salmon + Japanese-style carrots & roots. Who would've thought that the ambiguous "Special Miso" title would translate into such a fine miso soup!
3) Oboro Tofu. This is a must-have. They're known for this special, warm dish that's perfect for a chilly day.
4) Yamakake. A potato puree mix with sashimi tuna, quail egg, & wasabi. A creative and tasty appetizer.
Other stand-outs were their Broiled Sake-Miso Black Cod (cooked to soft & flaky perfection), Poke Roll, Rock N' Roll, and Alaskan Roll (w/ pieces of rich Avocado).
I love the fact that you can make reservations at this ~20 person capacity, small spot! It's so uncommon for such a small place. I also appreciate the fact that you feel like you're automatically transported to Japan once you walk in. Their staff is all Japanese and their interior isn't anything flashy or modern- just straight traditional.
Service was on point as well. When I called to make my reservation, the owner was nice enough to give me detailed instructions for the best place to park. Our server was also very attentive.
I'm so psyched that I've finally found Eiji!! My search for the perfect Japanese restaurant has come to an end. =]

3 1/2 stars. The fish is fresh and the the atmosphere is nice. :) I didn't care for the rolls but I don't think it's much of a place for rolls. Everything else from the soup to the tuna was really good.
I give it 4 stars for the fresh fish. Although, the place makes me nervous because there is no sushi bar. I just like to see my sushi chef at work, and this is certainly not how it is done here.
Claustrophobia set-in and I felt like I was in a closet searching for my sushi guy...oh sushi guy...where are you sushi guy?
Not a typical American sushi joint, but it all comes together when they bring you your fresh fresh fresh sushi.
This is not the place for fancy roles and I hear it gets super packed - I went in the afternoon when it was pretty mellow and can not imagine trying to peacefully enjoy a meal with a crowd.
Not my favorite, but I will be back - off hours - to enjoy some nigiri or sashimi. Also, would love to try the mochi cause it looked soooooo sooooo good.

Eiji is a little, hole-in-the-wall sushi joint you could miss if you blinked on your way down Sanchez St. They serve up some excellent sushi, with plenty of vegetarian options available. They also make their own tofu, which I didn't get to try on this visit, but stay tuned.
They serve lots of intriguing Japanese desserts, but sadly they were out of the famous strawberry mochi when I was there. Judging from other reviews it seems this happens a lot. You would think they'd make more....

Eiji has great sushi, and *great* strawberry mochi, but my last three visits there have been so frustrating I don't think I'll be going back. The service has been awful, and rude. I was told I'd have a seat if I waited 30 minutes, but when I returned they said they didn't even though we had put our name down. This last time I arrived just to join my friends already eating a meal (I wasn't eating), and I was told that I *had* to order something right after I was told I *couldn't* order anything so I had to go elsewhere while the rest finished their meal. I'm sorry to say that the rude service has ruined my last few experiences here, such a waste.

The tofu gives this place 5 stars. They make it to order and it's very good. The fish was just ok (3 stars) but the rice was great. It's small on the inside but they have done a great job decorating it and it is very comfortable to sit and eat in peace. I've been here twice and the food and service were great both times.
