Amami Sushi Bistro Geary

I have the bento lunches here. They are filling and worth the money. The chicken katsu is tasty. They give you a good amount of wasabi and ginger to accompany any of your rolls. I had only California rolls so far here and they have been good. The salad that came with the bento had a bit of moisture at the bottom of the bowl and could have used more dressing, but that is a lesser issue that I did not change my 5 star rating for the food. The service was excellent. I overheard my server explain to another patron the differences in several pieces of sushi, patiently.

Tried out Amami recently and was pleasantly surprised! The sashimi was the clear standout—super fresh with thick, melt-in-your-mouth slices. We ordered one of the dinner combos, which was pretty solid, but honestly, the sashimi is what makes this place worth coming back to. Some of the newer or cooked dishes were just okay, but nothing disappointing. Service was friendly, and the vibe is laid-back and casual. Definitely coming back for more sashimi!

Very welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service! The menu has a great variety, the prices are very reasonable, and everything is super fresh. Our kids really enjoyed the gyozas and chicken karaage, and we loved the chef’s choice nigiri. We’ll definitely be back — so happy to have this place in our neighborhood!

The omakase is on point! Writing this review has me wanting to go back again. The specialty roll ... mouth watering. My experience was absolutely phenomenal, not just because the food tasted so great but because the staff is incredible as well, friendly and charismatic. Great sushi, great staff, great ambiance ... this is the go-to spot alone or with friends!

Amami Sushi is a cool new spot that has a great, Japanese dining experience. The simple, modern design is refreshing and inviting, creating a comfortable atmosphere. loved the by the window seating with the view on Geary. The service is incredibly attentive, with staff going out of their way to ensure a you get a good dining experience. The only downside was that a some menu items were missing during (no sake😕), but that didn’t detract from the overall meal. The Omakase is a must-try, showcasing an impressive selection of fresh, different variety of fish, making your taste buds explode. The “Melted in the Mouth” roll is also a standout - absolutely delicious and living up to its name with each bite. “Dragon” can be skipped though.
