This is what a neighborhood sushi spot should be. High quality plates, good portion sizes, and a fabulous selection. The house special shrimp tempura roll is a can’t miss. The white tuna tataki is heavenly. Note; the spicy tuna is spicier than you might expect.
Great for families early in dinner service (they love kids!), great to come bring a book and eat by yourself later in the evening. It’s easy to make conversation with those around you. I’ll often make sure to bring visitors here, and very often I’ll find myself near people who moved away and specifically came back to eat here when visiting.
For those saying prices are a turn off, it’s less risky to take a $6 3-piece roll here and decide you don’t like it than an 8-piece roll for $18 at other sushi spots. You can just try the next thing you see that you want!
We arrived there just 5 minutes after it close and even it was already closed they let us eat (they deserve 10 points just for that). You can eat food from the roll (sushi, sashimi and more) but they also have a menu for people vegetarian like me. The service was kind and professional and, even if it was late, they served us a super tasty vegetarian ramen.
This is our favorite neighborhood sushi spot. We've been coming here for at least 12-15 years as the food & service are excellent: the house special roll is one of my favorites as well as their spicy white tuna, and don't even get me started on the unagi!! The boats are fun and a way to try something new as you can see what you're ordering, of course you can also order off the menu, highly recommend their Agedashi tofu bowl and gyozas.
Say hello to Tiffany when you go by, she'll take excellent care of you.
Solid sushi and Japanese fare. The boat is nice to get food your items get prepared, or if you're just in the mood for sushi. For some reason on the boat the addition of a small amount of fish eggs to a California roll raises the price by a dollar, but other than that this place is a good value.
If you don't like mayonnaise this isn't the place for your as they load up on the stuff in some of the dishes/rolls.
Walk in, sit down, grab sushi from the rotating boats, enjoy! Wish I found this place sooner. You can spend 10 minutes in there for a quick bite or an hour for a relaxed meal. You can still order from the menu if the boats don’t have what you need. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Easy 5⭐️. Arigato 👋
Sushi conveyor belt/boat train restaurant in the Castro neighborhood of SF. Sushi was decent quality and the vibe was cozy and fun. Each option is tray colour coordinated to a price ranging from 2.95 to 7.25. while I enjoyed the experience, the cost became borderline unnecessary if you eat as much as I do.
An amazing conveyer-belt sushi place which provides a rich variety of sushi, and delicious ramen. Take a pick from the sushi plates that arrive on the boats, or order from the menu to get anything specific that you want. I had both some sushi and the ramen, and the ramen was surprisingly good (I ordered it spicy). It’s a really cool place to hang out at if you go with friends, but if you come with friends and want a seat at the counter, make sure to come early. Highly recommend this place!
Food was great. Waitress and cooks work attentive and amazing.. I had a great time. There was 3 of us and we were seated at the revolving bar.. definitely recommend.
Love this place. Great conveyor belt sushi option, centrally located, high quality and very reasonable.
Some of the best quality sushi in the city and at a good price. Very relaxing, low key spot.
Sushi boat places are usually pretty gross but Warakubune does a great job! I don't ever see stuff on the boats circulating for too long and everything is generally fresh. There are things that you can order directly with your server if you're not seeing it on the boats. It's a super fun dining experience and I used to come here with a friend to have a small snack before heading to another spot for a full dinner.
Pretty good, our spot was in the back which made us wait awhile because people in the front keep grabbing the rolls lol. Recommend the tempura roll and crab leg roll. Pic attached is about $70 including large Sapporo and tip (for 2 people).
Wonderful little spot for a quick bite. The sushi is good and a great price.
Amazing cute little spot. Delicious ushi boats, fast wait/service. Great to go with friends or dates and chat over good food and sake/tea

Been coming here since it opened. We always have an excellent time. The service is fast and very helpful, the chef’s are masters at their craft. Great prices, a large menu, and always a genuine welcome.
A neighborhood gem.
Enjoy!
Didn't realize this place has sushi in the little boats and you just grab it, but it was so good and so easy. It's nice because once you sit down you can just immediately start eating. My one complaint is I often didn't know what I was eating, but every roll I had was delicious!
I wasn't sure walking in. But they are friendly, fast, and the food was fresh. They were constantly making new plates to add to the boats going around, even later on in the night. I definitely recommend.
Neighborhood classic! Solid sushi that happens to be served on boats. Great place if you want quick, good sushi, washed down with beer, without all the frills.
