    Wow. We have had omikase in the best SF restaurants and this is our new favorite. On a rainy night it was tempting to stay in Sausalito and go to our standby Sushi Ran, but so glad we made the drive. Zentarou reminds me of Sushi Ran in its early days: surprising touches, impeccable fish, and stellar service. At bargain (compared to other top places) prices.

    I have been visiting this place frequently since it newly open in our neighborhood. I'm thinking of inviting someone special to the place I love and It has never disappointed me, and everyone I bring enjoys it! All the stuffs are friendly and professional. The appetizers are fantastic, especially the salmon skin salad. The chicken kara-age is perfectly crisp on the outside and tender and well-marinated on the inside. The hamachi kama is huge, and the fresh oysters with ponzu sauce melt in my mouth. All the nigiri is incredibly fresh as well! The chef has a special style that enhances the flavor of fish, making it more outstanding.Uni-ikura don and ochazuke are amazing dishes too. Don’t forget to try their sake, Dasai 23. So gooddddddddd!

    I had a fantastic experience here. I’ve never been to a Japanese restaurant like this before—full of flavor and the best service. I thoroughly enjoyed dinner. We had the chance to try Omakase at an affordable price, and a meal of this quality would be complicated to find anywhere else. This is my favorite restaurant!

    HOT NEW spot in the neighborhood! Very reasonable price for Omakase menu. Our chef seasoned in every pieces of sushi and they are all so fresh. Lobster meal’s also so sweet! We’ll come back for a bigger party since I saw the largest table in the house :D
