Delicious, inventive, high quality! There was a bad smell (maybe cleaning products ?) in the restaurant. Too bad since everything else was top notch.

Service is excellent. Very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had the Zentarou box and would order it again. Beautifully presented, delicious and excellent value. We also had the crispy salmon skin salad and tuna bomb. Wonderful selection of sake.

The restaurant opened three months ago. It’s a very nice location, lovely layout and furnishings and excellent service. The food was good, but not great, but I took that up to young chefs still gaining their focus.

Sushi was pretty good but it took 1.5 hours to get 2 rolls on a Thursday night. Service was way too slow so won't be coming back.

The food was excellent and the service was top notch! Also, the sake selection was great the the staff members were very helpful in helping choose a bottle to your taste. I highly recommend Zentarou Sushi if you're looking for a bite to eat the in SF area.

This is a hidden gem! We live in the neighborhood and have always gone to the place since before our children were born. When this came up on OpenTable, I thought why not. The interior is well done with a mix of elegant simplicity and traditional Japanese decor. As we walked to our table I noticed a large community table that would be great for a family celebration. As we sat and looked at the menu my 7 yr old made a point of telling me that each table had its own outlet so she could have brought her iPad and charger with her (it had 11% left and her dad insisted there would be no where to charge it). A great detail for parents who fine white kids but also enjoy quiet those kids to be quiet lol. Our sever came to take our order and we all realized we knew each other. He proceeded to tell us that he had been a longtime member of the team at our favorite neighborhood sushi place. He pointed to my 16 yr old and said he remembered when she was little and all three of us ate there. He then said until you were pregnant with her pointing to my 7 yr old. He said during Covid he started working at another sushi place in Japan town. I instantly knew it was a place I had found when I had sushi delivered for lunch at my office. He said he was so happy to see us there dining there now with the whole family. He proceeded to tell me that this was his team there now and I smiled and waited for what was going to be an amazing meal and it was. Everything was amazing l!!! Highlights for me the fried cheese and sauce, combo is special. The seared beef appetizer was so so good. Fish was fresh, rolls We’re on point, and the gyoza were legit. Also it’s also important to note this is a sake bar with an extensive list and fun sake cocktails. I would say get a reservation here ASAP as I have a feeling this place will not be easy to get into in the future as it blows the other neighborhood places away!!!

It was amazing! Truly one of the best sushi experiences I have had in the area! They treated us so well and had amazing recommendations from the chef. Every bite of nigiri was absolutely delicious. No need for soy sauce. Every bite was perfectly balanced and seasoned. We also had a few of the rolls and were all delicious as well. This a newly opened spot and they deserve all the hype and love. I cannot recommend enough!
