nice, fresh take out option in my neighborhood but the portions are a little bit small for the price. first time going here so was a little bit surprised and it as full but the sushi rolls were both fresh and flavorful!

So many great rolls! The space is on the smaller side, but if you sit at the sushi bar they often make a little setting extra for you!

I've been to elephant sushi several times now. But this was the first time that I tried their signature roll called the flaming roll. Aside from being really fun spectacle for the table since it is served at the table on fire, it is also incredibly delicious. I wasn't sure how I felt about a cooked roll since I've never had that before however, it did not disappoint. In fact for people who are wary of raw fish, coming to a sushi restaurant this role would be the perfect Segway for them to get. I've always highly recommended elephant sushi for its intimate dinner atmosphere. I especially recommend sitting up at the bar and watching them make the sushi.

Solid sushi spot in San Francisco with typical sushi prices you'll see in the city! I'm not a huge fan of raw fish, but ended up trying their "white dragon" roll (shrimp tempura topped with seared walu, white pepper & sweet soy glaze) and had miso soup as a starter. It was pretty quiet around the afternoon/early dinner time 5pm, but gets increasingly busier throughout the night. The service was friendly & quick too! Located on top of Russian Hill/Nob Hill, relatively small inside, but nice ambiance and atmosphere. Not the best sushi I've had, but would return for a quick bite!

Long overdue review for one of my fave sushi spots in SF. Lovely neighborhood sushi place with quality, fresh fish, fun rolls, cute vibe and friendly service. My faves are the chef ochko roll, walu carpaccio, ya man roll, salmon miso soup and the lychee martini. Service is also very fast and their daily specials are good too. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait but there's a handful of wine bars next store to grab a glass before your table is ready.

This spot never fails to satisfy my sushi craving! I love that they have butterfish on the menu too. Awesome, friendly efficient service. If you're considering the flaming sea bass, get it! The restaurant is really small so they have limited seating. There are some tables outside but a little awkward since it's on a hill.

Elephant sushi is always a treat, especially after work or on a date night!! The ambiance is super cute and romantic with fairy lights around the restaurant. Keep in mind that it is pretty small, so if you have a larger party, I would not recommend walking in! Out of all of their locations, I do recommend checking out the Hayes Valley one if you want something more modern and spacious, or this location if you want something more romantic and cozy. - My favorite dish is the negi-toro! It has toro and fresh uni, I always get this when I come. Easily the best roll I have had at a SF sushi spot, it melts in your mouth. Highly recommend it! - The truffle hamachi is also pretty good! The truffle taste is not as strong and more subtle. It is definitely worth a try if you like truffle and more earthy/salty flavors. - Their tuna tataki from the Tokyo fish market was recommend by the server. Personally, I am not a fan of fish eggs, so it was a bit fishy for my preference and I would probably skip this and order another one of their dishes. However, the fish does taste very fresh and presentation is pretty! - The showstopper was the sea-bass flaming roll! It definitely was tasty and a cool sight. Would recommend definitely getting this to get the full dining experience. Service was pretty tasty and friendly!

Went for a work dinner so got to try a big portion of the menu. We ordered exclusively sushi, and it was all really really delicious and fresh. Hard to say what is shown in these pics because I didn't order it, but honestly I feel like you can't go wrong if you order sushi that optimizes for quality fish. The one everyone remembers is the flaming sea bass roll! It's so cool, they bring it out to you on a tray of oil that they light on fire to cook it. It's sooo good. Get it if you can! Will definitely return if I'm back in SF soon.
