Sushi Groove

"Sushi Groove--Best Japanese"--San Francisco Mag Readers' Poll, 2003.

  • Valet Parking
  • Takeout / Catering Available
  • Great atmosphere

Nestled in the historic Russian Hill district, Sushi Groove offers an intimate and sophisticated dining experience at a reasonable price. With a menu that focuses on fresh fish and a variety of domestic and Japanese sake, this surprisingly chic restaurant fulfills the needs of the health conscious and fun seeking individual. Sushi Groove's innovative approach to the artistry of Japanese cuisine in conjunction with new California cuisine well suits the San Francisco palate. This unique blend is further expressed by the sunset ambience and amber-lit dining room.

Editorial Review for Sushi Groove – by Molly Watson

In Short
Soft lighting, golden-orange walls and space-age light fixtures give Sushi Groove its groove, even when the place is packed, as it often is. The black-clad throngs are mostly a local crowd. The personable chefs put an artful spin on raw fish, such as the tuna caliente, diced fish with a jalapeno-spiked soy sauce and a jungle roll, which includes yellowtail and papaya.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Average or worse sushi, and nasty chefs. The last time I came I got the wrong order and then they charged me for it. The sushi years ago used to be like melt in your mouth delicious, like most of the other numerous good sushi places in San Francisco. Now it is more like bite and cannot bite through the fish. V They also mix up the bills and you end up getting two different bills, which further spoils the evening like there is something screwed up. The chefs do not appear to be happy people, and they practically ignore you . This is very atypical for San Francicso. The only plus is a pretty wait staff and good music, hence the name.

went here with an out of town friend (who introduced me to sushi years ago). we thought it was average. the fish wasn't the kind you bite into and feel like it was just caught that morning. definitely overpriced. good sake but also overpriced! if you're going to pay that much for sushi, go to Okoze (hidden gem) down the street. The fish is much better and it's cozier (not as "clubby"). The interior of Sushi Groove feels a little forced and sterile. Not worth it for me.

Pros: definitely a date spot, a place to be seen

Cons: overpriced, average sushi
