Alex and family team make the dining experience great at Sushi 88. Very welcoming staff and they offer amazing quality sushi/sashimi.I have visited with coworker and girlfriend twice and we really enjoyed ourselves. You will want to visit every week. I have not tried ramen yet but am looking forward to it.
Don't know what's an authentic Japanese food, but the food was good, service was great and staff is hospitable.Features: Staff masked, clean tables
Mediocre ramen. Wasnt bad but wasn't great. The noodles didn't taste like ramen noodles. No real flavor. Very meh. It's not worth $18. Very little noodles. Did not kill my ramen craving
Best Japanese restaurant you can find SF area. Local, and the owner is super friendly. Strongly recommended.
Great place great quality food and service overall great experience
First time here and loved the food. We had their veggie ramen, seaweed salad, garlic edamame, and some rolls. We will come back!
Not bad taste, good flavor inside out.
Fast order preparation. Ramen is delicious!
This review was on a Sunday @11am. A group of 6 of us, and a little puppy, decided to eat there for lunch. We were craving a nice hot noodle spot. This place showed up on my search nearest me at the time. It was my first time there, I'm from out of town. We chose to eat outside of course, be it, we did have a dog with us. My first impression was that all the staff members were very friendly. The menu were easy to understand and they even gave us recommendations of what there favorite food choice was to help. THEY EVEN OFFERED TO BRING A BOWL OF WATER FOR THE PUP! That right there speaks volumes for an unexpected service. We were touched and thankful. We were off on a awesome start. Service was excellent ?Now for the food. For appetizers I had the garlic edamame, agedashi tofu, and fried gyoza. For the main dish I chose the GarlicTonkatsu ramen?.The garlic edamame was the first of its kind that I had. It was unique, at least to me. I expected the edemame to be boiled and lightly seasoned with salt, you know the usual way, but it was different this time. I want to say it was stir fried with chili oil and seasoned with garlic. I must say it was delicious. I ate the whole thing?. As for the agedashi and fried gyoza, it's tasted what I expected it to taste. Although I must say It's a simple dish, but the eye candy perspective was executed well. It was adorned with a nice green lettuce with he highlighted purple cabbage. Very fancy?.The ramen: on the menu it doesn't say spicy. I asked our waitress about it has she said they can add the spicy oil on the side. That was perfect. The food did not take long to arrive, and when it did the presentation was definitely Instagram worthy?. The presentation was all there. With the pork on the side, the ramen noodle in the center, the egg slightly to the left side, and that creamy broth is what dreams are made of ??. Before adding the chili sauce I tasted the broth, it is a MUST DO for any soup in my opinion. And it did not disappoint. The flavor was well-balanced not overly salted and had a great aroma. When I added the chili oil, it became perfection to my taste buds. Yes it was DAMN GOOD! I did not add any other seasonings. I had no complaints. I was in a happy place? . All together for me and my GF it was $95 with gratuity included. Being in the Bay Area it's about that's about the cost I expected, but the food and service was well worth it for us. I felt like giving the cook a high five???.Ambience: outside dining, well shaded, the tents were a little low but caution signs were well posted, simple and easily serves large groups up to 8.Food: hot, warm, delicious met my expectationsService: friendly, attentive, and very accommodating to our little pup with us. BIG ups for the pet accommodation.Cons: the only bad thing that comes to mind was just that low tent height (I'm 5'8), but to be honest it really wasn't that bad. I have no comments for the inside dining.
The ramen was excellent! Great service and tasty food - a hidden gem!
