Small mom and pop sushi place. Really nice people and sushi is fresh. No place to sit as it's take out only from a window/door. That's ok...it's our go-to place for take out sushi!
This small sushi spot is great for a simple, fresh, and reasonably priced sushi option in the city. It's close enough to walk from UCSF, which was helpful for me to pop out and grab something fresh. The fish quality is decent and the lady working there is always very kind. The only thing that threw me off was the strong moldy smell coming from the menus.. those definitely need a cleaning. Everything else was great.
There were quite a few people here on a Wednesday afternoon. The place is spacious, seating around 40 people at maximum capacity. The AC and ventilation was welcoming on a warm day. My friend ordered the Spicy Tuna and Avocado Roll, while I ordered the Lunch Bento Box with Chicken Teriyaki and Salmon Sashimi. Our miso soups came with carrots and cabbage, and what they had in the soups were quite heavy and filling. With the normal ingredients and taste I expected for Japanese miso, this was not it. Although my chicken teriyaki tasted good, it was not the texture I was expecting for the chicken either. The salmon sashimi was good but nothing unique. My friend enjoyed her rolls as it being her quick lunch, but we both felt like we still needed something afterwards to quench our thirst and satisfy us food-wise. For a quick bite with minimal expectations, I would try this place again if need be.
At first alarmed because one table of four people were very loud and then there was hammering going on the entire lunch But the lady working here is so sweet we soon got over it We had the sushi over rice, miso soup with cabbage instead of tofu and tempura for appetizer Everything was good. The ahi tuna was a bit mealy and weird The unagi eel was great
I've been coming here for the past year and they do not disappoint! I've never eaten inside (they barely re-opened to seating) but takeout has been such a smooth, fast process! While the rolls are not out of this world, they're delicious, fresh and well-made. What really gives my rating 5 stars is their customer service, each and every time I've come for pickup, their chef and front desk cashier are just the sweetest, smiling and warm welcoming, they always remember me too (probably cause they've seen me one too many times lol). My favorites are the 49'er Roll and Miso Soup; fresh fish on the roll and the miso is just perfection. They add cabbage to it which makes it more hearty and it's always served so warm. I've tried many other rolls as well and each of them are just as good. I have yet to try other items (teriyaki chicken, etc). 10/10 recommend this place!
Had it a few more times and edit to 4*. Service is still great, ambiance the same casual take out. The sushi just hasn't been enough to satisfy the craving since I found Amami (which charges a bit more but it's sushi is proportionally more substantial/fresh.)
They always joke about how the places on Yelp with 3.5 stars are the best -- this is definitely the case for You See. Let me just say, this is the most basic, no frills you can get with sushi and it is really the bang for your buck. It may not be the best quality, but for the price and amount? It is great. Another added plus is that the cutest lady runs this order at the door sushi restaurant. She is very sweet and deserves all of the love in the Sunset neighborhood. She offered me complimentary miso soup when I picked up my order! There's no seating, so this is definitely the place if you just want to grab a quick bite to go.
