Ace Wasabi San Francisco — Restaurant in San Francisco

The food here is so good, and the menu is massive. So, do a little homework before coming in or you’ll be stuck trying to figure out what goes with what lol. I usually go salty/umami to start, spicy for the main, and something a little sweet like an Old Fashioned on the side. Whiskey based cocktails always makes Japanese food hit harder in the best way.

At Ace Wasabi though, I went full spice mode, blistered shishito peppers, the Shake It Off roll, and Hakushu 12 Year straight up. Absolute fire. If you want to mix it up, grab a Tokyo Martini to kick things off, then switch to Hakushu with the food so you still have whiskey to sip along with you food. It really pulls out those peppery...

Based on my experience as a solo diner in for a very quick Happy Hour sampling

I order the 8 pc Sashimi

Albacore ( usually not a huge fan but this albacore was tasty)

Salmon (some of the best I’ve had in the city, extremely tender and buttery)

Yellowfin Tuna ( excellent firmness yet melty in the mouth)

Bluefin Tuna (very fresh, nice portions)

I also order a Spicy Scallop Roll

Honestly this was one of the best scallop rolls I’ve ever had. The scallops were so fresh and tender. The spicy mayo that held it together was pleasantly hot and mixed with the greens and cucumber it was perfect on a warm summer San Francisco night

I’ll be back to dissect this menu a bit more with...

I was not too impressed by the rolls selection in this restaurant. Although they have pretty solid list of options there’s not much difference in components. We walked in on a Sunday evening and were seated right away (two people) so I guess there’s no need to make reservations for small parties. Service was friendly and food came fast. As for the rolls they were just fine, probably Victorias Secret was the best (had a Mexican vibe to it thanks to cilantro and jalapeño). Other two were pretty bland. I don’t think we’re going to come back as there are lots of great sushi...
