Warakubune, San Francisco CA

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.

My first time ever with sushi on demand, with automated 'boats' constantly circling the sushi bar in the center of the restaurant. You can still make special requests of the sushi chefs when you want something in particular served a la carte. Can get a little noisy with everyone elbow to elbow, but well worth the wait.

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!

$10 credit card minimum, 18% mandatory gratuity - sushi bar was out of salmon. Left after eating only two plates and the staff was somewhat apologetic but shouldn't have given us a hard time over the $10 credit card minimum when the reason for us leaving was the lack of food availability.

I love this place so much! Delicious food and great spot. Amazing staff. Can't wait to go back.

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

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!

Lots of vegan friendly options - asparagus tempura roll, inari, veggie rolls, cucumber and avocado maki they’ll make it for you fresh too if you’re not seeing them on the sushi boats

The food is delicious, service is so so.

Food is fresh, taste good. Price is a bit hight, for 3 pieces of regular sushi is $7.50.

About service - not good. Waiters spilled tea on me and didn't even say sorry. Later she spilled water on my neighbor, no reaction. You also get automaticy charged 18.5% for each person (each card).

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.

AVOID.
Staff gave me something I didn't order.

I asked for a 2 piece squid nigiri which the waitress said was available. They gave me 4 octopus? And then we had a big confrontation in the empty dining room.
I told them I didn't even touch the plate, please take it back. This is the wrong order. Chefs told me, no we can't do what the waitress just said we could do. Great. Wont be back. Waitress pointed out *as she gave me the check* mandatory fixed gratuity probably because this type of situation has happened before.

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.

Our first time being here my boyfriend wanted to take me a rotating sushi bar & this was amazing! So fresh so fast & it was a fun experience! We will definitely be back!
