Spence Sez... "always feeling surprised and satisfied."

Jimisan is Right On!

With signatures like Hirame In A Blanket and The Eternity Roll, which retain their tantalizing allure even after multiple devourings, this unassuming spot on 9th between Irving and Judah is, in my humble opinion, one of the Top 3 sushi joints in SF. Other equally creative items will satisfy the taste buds of even the most jaded roll fanatics, plus those with a more traditional bent will find the sashimi fresh and the portions beyond ample. What’s more, it’s never packed and the staff is warm and welcoming (i.e. the chef will probably come out from behind the bar and talk to you during or after your meal). The emptiness of the place will no doubt put passersby off, but that just means I’ll always get a table. In short, Jimisan has the goods to keep you coming back and always feeling surprised and satisfied.
