2 Reviews of Ariake Japanese Restaurant in San Francisco ...Write yours here! Good Japanese Food By aguib d. I came here with my girlfriend when we were on vacation. She loved it and so did I. They had such a good selection. I would highly recommend them to others. Also the cost was low and they always have good deals. Posted 05/24/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote) good By pamela o. I do alot of traveling and when I am hungry I always asked the locals where is the best place to eat. Usually we are on the same page and the food would be good. i came here just by walking in to see if I could find some great food myself. It turned out I was right on the nose. The food is fantastic, next time i come to this city I will stop by here again First Review! Posted 05/20/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No (you must log in or sign up to vote) 5 Reviews by Citysearch: (read all 8 reviews on Citysearch) Excellent Excellent Excellent Ariake has great sushi. Hands down. In regards to the prior reviewers reference to the owners nationality and faith, I dont get it. If you happen to be a snob in need of high prices, a long wait to be seated, and pretentious ambience, then this wont be the place for you. If however you love great sushi, in a comfortable setting, with good people, I strongly recommend Ariake. For example, the Toro is always in perfect balance, never tough or sinewy. The Hamachi? Like butter. And the Santa Barbra Uni is always fresh and firm. I also appreciate the fact they serve Otokoyama sake. A high quality, dry junmai from Hokkaido at only $8 a glass. Pros: Great food and service. They go out of their way to you feel welcome. Cons: Parking on Geary. Weekend prime hours can be very busy. Posted 02/01/07 at 12:34pm Try their "hail jesus roll." Koreans+sushi= what the...? Good sushi? Im going to have to disagree. First off the chef. Whats up with him naming all his rolls/combinations with super christian names? the "god bless you roll" or the "dont commit any sins or your going to hel roll?" I just made those names up by the way, but seriously, the guys a hardcore christian. I dont like the fact that the chef and the whole wait staff was korean. As my headline says, its just wrong. The food was nothing special. I could find plenty of other restaurants as good or better than this place. I would definitely not go here. dont waste your money. Pros:* looks like a nice little authentic place..... Cons: until you go in. Posted 09/15/06 at 12:00am Great sushi This is my favorite sushi restaurant in town. Kabuto is right near it and may have more inventive sushi, bit this place is reasonable and super fresh. We feel lucky to live right near it. Posted 08/20/06 at 8:59pm Disappointing It started off with a party of 5 being seated at a table for 4, leaving one person seated at one end, partially blocking a narrow walkway-even though we had made a reservation. Then the sashimi was served, with a large piece of bone still attached-not appetizing and definitely not safe! Luckily, the person didn't swallow the piece. Service was slow and definitely not attentive-had to ask for water several times and waitress neglected to pour for everyone on the table. We had asked the waitress for some japanese chili pepper which was never served. It was a disappointing evening as I had made a reservation based on the good reviews that I had read. I'll never go back. Cons: Poor service Posted 04/22/06 at 10:40pm Great Sushi Great place to get a good bit of sushi. The owner and all the employees always happy to see you. The sushi was the first sushi I tasted and haven't found any as good Pros: sushi, people, wait Posted 07/01/04 at 12:00am
