Reviews for Kibatsu in San Francisco, CA
The rolls are just not good. The fish might be high quality but I wouldn?t know! There was so little of it i couldn?t even taste... it! I?ve shown an example here, but this was one of the better pieces. The others were similarly disappointing. For example, thegolden mountain roll tastes like a mayonnaise roll. Really! Read more
The reviews I read for this place were absolutely correct. So much food, and so delicious!! Included are pics of every course... (alcohol not included in omakase) Read more
OMAKASE REVIEW - service was brisk and borderline rude, no explanation of how each dish was prepared or ask of allergies - each... dish was either a punch of wasabi, overly sweet, or super salty. No balance of flavors or textures, and the fish did not tastefresh - it was filmy and fishy - pacing was incredibly off, coming in clusters with large gaps inbetween - other tables weregetting different dishes even though we all ordered omakase - there was a bone in my salmon Read more
Omakase is delicious, fresh, well balanced taste, great value for the $$, excellent service, cute place! Definitely recommend to... others and would love to come back! Read more
Absolutely wonderful experience. Chanel was so kind and provided lots of information every time we asked. Will return again as... one of my favorite new spots in the city! Read more
This is a long overdue review for my first in-person omakase experience in the past two years. I had my fair share of... takeout/delivery sushi during the pandemic, but the nature of omakase is arguably one of the hardest to translate to takeout.There is something about enjoying a piece of nigiri that is still warm from the chef?s hand. When I dined back in July 2021,the chef?s counter was unfortunately still closed, but I was able to sit indoors. The omakase was 15 courses, with total dinnertime just over 90 minutes at a leisurely pace. Chef Roy created a modern interpretation of omakase, incorporating dishes such asuni risotto, deep fried wagyu ice cream cones, and a glorious maitake and fig topped seared toro. The nigiri and sashimi werevery good that day. A highlight was lean bluefin tuna sashimi that had fruity notes and the toro with caviar nigiri. Theafore-mentioned modern dishes were also a standout, especially the sweet and savory dessert course with black sesame ice creamand yuzu sorbet cones, topped with a juicy, warm cube of deep fried wagyu. I felt comfortable dining indoors in the smallerspace, and service was polite and efficient. I thought the price point was also very reasonable for SF. Read more
Best sushi I?ve ever had, extremely underrated. Get the Rock N? Roll (Unagi), that was excellent. The salmon Maki rolls weren?t... incredible, but still had very high quality fish. Read more
I?m not even done eating yet?. And I?m just rocked by how fresh and flavorful everything is. Tons of TLC for each and every... ingredient. The way it should be. Yes it?s not cheap, but it doesn?t deserve to be. Read more
