“ We ordered the $95 "shio" tasting and a sake tasting We really enjoyed the experience and food here! We were all surprised the restaurant wasn't more packed - on a Saturday night there were only two other parties dining in. But as we were eating, every minute or two, there would be a receipt printing for takeout orders, so they were still very busy. Busy it's good for sushi restaurants which means the fish is fresh! The waitresses were so nice and the fish was indeed very fresh. My favorite parts of the menu were the Japanese egg custard (chawanmushi) and the chef's selected nigiri, which came out in two separate courses, each with four pieces of fish. The sake tasting was a generous pour, and the four of us shared two tastings. Would definitely come back! ”

“ I'm suprised this restaurant isn't more busy. Service was good and fast. I just wish that the chef would talk to us about the fish and stuff and make it a more intimate experience. Our server explained to us what everything was but it wasn't the same as my expectation when i go to omakase places. But overall, pretty good from service, wait time and all. Food was great. We did the smaller omakase menu with the premium add on and that was a good amount of food for us. The quality of the food was excellent. Great drink selection too. I got the nigori flight and it was a fun experience. Very generous drink portion. Highly recommend. We would definitely be back. ”

“ Service: My husband and I finally visited Sushi Shio earlier this year, after wanting to visit for a while. I made a reservation online for 2 people for the same night. Upon arriving, there was some confusion with the staff and I'm not sure if there were some crossed signals with multiple booking sites or if it was due to the last minute-ness of the rez, but it was unclear if they would accept it (even though it was confirmed online). I'm happy to report that they were able to honour the rez (which was a relief since we were seated near the door and overheard some walk-in customers being turned away). And throughout the meal, the staff continued to be attentive and hospitable and were able to given recs when asked. Food: The tasting menu overall was excellent and it's clear that each dish and item was well-planned and prepared with care. It's hard to choose just one favourite, though the sushi and tartlette would definitely be up there for me. Price: The Restaurant Week deal wasn't too big of a price difference compared to their regular menu, so coming here for dinner on a typical night would be a similar experience I think. Yelp has it listed at $$$$ which I actually think is inaccurate since it seems more affordable than that. Location: Easy to get to by public transit - walking distance from Market St and several MUNI stops. ”

“ When walking in, I can't help but feel distracted by the random pictures hung up on the wall. Everything from the decor to the upkeep to the service seems to say that this is just your average Japanese takeout shop. However the food (and the prices) tell a vastly different tale. I had the Chirashi Bowl and was blown away. Such an excellent variety of fresh fish and flavors. The house salad and miso soup they served was also some of the best I've ever had. However, the prices are still a bit too high imo. ”

“ This place has been on my bucket list for a while so I thought today's a good day to cross it off so here I am. I ordered the "Haku" tasting $59 and I added the premium B $37 and C $28 supplements along with it. Everything tasted amazing! The highlights for me would be the premium supplements which I highly recommend adding on to your tasting menu. The service here was pretty good as well. My server Josh was very kind, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable on their menu. The restaurant is well decorated on the inside giving off a modern vibe to it. The parking in this area can be a little rough, I recommend taking an uber or finding a nearby parking garage as the street parking can be scarce. Try it out if you like. :) ”
