Because San Francisco has such a major Japanese population, the food scene in the city gets all the benefits. So if you are planning a trip to San Fran, these Japanese restaurants are ones you have to go to. They will completely change your view of Japanese cuisine and will leave your tastebuds on fire.
Saru Sushi
You know that if you’re going to a Michelin Guide recommended sushi restaurant, the dishes are going to be incredible. Saru is one of the best sushi restaurants in the city because they use super high-quality ingredients and every dish is made as perfectly as possible.
The attention they put into each aspect of making the sushi is another key reason that Saru stands out from other restaurants. Their rice is delicious and is grown in Japan, and their selection of soy sauces are ridiculously tasty and even includes one that is made in-house.
Halu
If you’re looking for a different kind of Japanese restaurant, Halu is one that brings a major twist. Halu is a ’60s, Beetle-inspired theme restaurant but actually isn’t too kitschy. They serve is yakitori and izakaya-style food rather than typical sushi, so if you are in the mood to have fun some and eat incredibly crafted Japanese cuisine, you have to check out Halu.
