Authentic and tastes great! Great prices for the quality.

Great Experience, Went for their lunch hours and enjoyed a great Sashimi meal with Friends. Portions were good for the price and it's always nice practicing our Japanese!

If you love Sushi and want good, quality food and service, Uzen is an excellent place to visit. I called in my order and it was ready for pick up upon arrival.

Not great. Tonkatsu very dry. Definitely the worse sashimi I have had in the bay area

Terrific quality fish.

Great and fresh Omakase, chill vibe

We today and the help was very rude and I only tried th ask him a question

I had an omakase of three people. The bill was well over $300.00. The food was terrible. Trust me, I've eaten sushi over 30 years, even in Japan. And this place ranks in the bottom of the bottom. Just don't do it. I wouldn't come back even if it is free and you stick a gun to my head.

My favorite sushi place! The fish is always super fresh, I've never had anything subpar here, and I've been coming here for many years. I also love the unagi, it's better than other sushi restaurants. The appetizers are great, and even the soup and salad are better than other places. I've seen the local organic salad mix being delivered before too (the dressing they make is bomb!), so they probably use other local produce whenever possible as well. The udon is also very good, it tastes clean, but is also perfectly seasoned and every ingredient is done well. The prices are good too! I wish I still lived near here so I could go all the time. Even in SF, I haven't found a place that is a good as Uzen that isn't crazy expensive.Definitely try the spicy scallop roll, I also love the 49er that we usually get with wild salmon.. but everything is great. The menu looks like there aren't many rolls, but they'll make you whatever you want! Just write it in at the bottom.If you're lucky you'll get the see the chef make a single thin sheet of daikon radish with a knife, it's impressive!!The only thing is the shittake mushroom stuffed with ground shrimp appetizer used to have a different recipe or something, I liked the old recipe better. I haven't gotten that one in a few years though, so maybe it's been changed back.

Great sushi restaurant.
