| About: | An elegantly understated decor makes this place seem like it should be tucked away in an exclusive part of the city, not sharing space in a downtown mall, chic and upscale though the Metreon is. The food is equally elegant, prepared meticulously for optimum flavor and authenticity. The sleek sushi bar serves up delicious Hand Rolls, Nigiri, and Sashimi. For lunch, find the traditional Bento Box with a tempting assortment of sushi, tempura, vegetables and either rice or noodles. The service for the locals and tourists who make this place so popular is quick from both the ebullient chefs and the friendly wait staff. |

Service was fine...not like the one star from the other review that had horrible service. The issue is the food and the price. Price is always second to good food and the size, quality, and taste here are almost awful. The chicken teryaki sauce is bitter and the chicken was very dry. Salad dressing was oil and vinegar with almost no flavor. Miso soup was ok but had no green onions. Nigiri quality was ok but size was absurd...after eating a couple orders of Nigiri Saki, I was not sure if I had eaten anything. Price must be high due to the rent and they are probably in business due to the constant flow from Moscone Center. There are many better choices than this business/tourist location.
Sanraku at the Metreon was great. The food was super good, well presented, and fresh. The atmosphere is real nice near Yerba Buena park. The prices are decent too. It's perfect if you are staying right close or have a conference at Moscone West. I'm hear for the Web2.0Expo 2008.
just hearing the word makes my mouth drool: I've never had sushi with so much flavor, I thought I was eating a juicy tender slick of pork of something. My favorite sushi spot in the city. It's so not like you're typical sushi restaurant, just watching the chefs prepare each dish, you see the culture and taste it in the food. The price is a bit much but totally worth it, I could probably eat the whole menu because it's so good. I like this place and the setting is not bad at all, have had dates there and the workers there are soo nice so go check it out for sure.
