Kitaro Sushi

Great dining experience! Workers work really hard & give great service 👍. Servers helped multiple tables very efficiently. and refilled water and tea with good frequency. The food was fresh, and really tasty. The portions were large, especially the chicken katsu dinner plate. Thr chicken comes with side of rice 🍚, miso soup 🍲, and salad. I was really hungry, and I still had leftovers for a doggie bag. Spouse had vegetable tempura with salmon sashimi, and it was also really good. The value is great, for you can get a combo dinner (aka bento box) for $20.

Great value, descent taste and quick, friendly service! They have an unusual combination in lunch specials: Udon with salmon sashimi bowl. I also added spicy miso broth to udon for $1 extra. Spicy and miso are also a surprise, but the taste was very smooth. The bowl of rice is covered with a dozen or so salmon stripes, cut smaller than your typical sashimi but still has enough meat to fill me up. The salmon tastes rich and fresh, just what I expected. At a total of under $11, that’s a steal. I also ordered a side of edamame with garlic sauce, another surprise considering most restaurants serve edamame sides plain. My entire meal costed $15 and odds, and was so fulfilling I couldn’t eat dinner. I entered the restaurant after 2pm on a Sunday. The orders came very quickly. With three waitresses and at least one waiter, I expect orders to be equally fast on weekdays - if you can get a seat. The space is really small, I think they have less than a dozen tables that barely seat four each. Decoration is light yet themed. (The Japanese name suggests ghost, so there are monsters on the wall. There is even a hint of Godzilla although I do not see it in display.) Update: I have since come here several times with my daughter and have not been disappointed. This is surprisingly close to the Golden Gate Park. All in all, this is a great place to eat if you come to that area.

You can tell that their kitchen is under supervision of a Japanese native who knows exactly how rice should be prepared for Japanese cuisine. A while ago the prices went up a little, but the quality and quantity went up as well. Our relatives from Japan loves the place, getting about 4X the amount of food they'd get when dining out in Japan!
