An | Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in San Francisco

I came here to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. She had Nirigi Omakase and I had Chef's Omakase. It's only 10 bucks difference. Nirigi Omakase included uni. Chef included strawberry mochi but no uni. The sashimi of fish was fresh and soft. It could melt in your mouth. Toro is my fav. I also ordered wagyu and unagi. Of course, the wagyu beef was tasty, which I prefer to eat it last, so the taste could last longer in your mouth. I love unagi, so it was a must to order. This place was the third restaurant where I could truly have fresh eel. It was so good and I wish I had ordered one more. Very high quality of sashimi. Excellent services. Everything was good, except one point. The suggested tips included taxes. Basically you pay tips for taxes if you go with their suggestion tips. That needs to be changed. Anyways I would come back for...

An is a very intimate and authentic Japanese restaurant located inside of the Japantown Mall. There are only 8 seats at the bar and 3-4 other tables for 2 (max 4), so be sure to make a reservation weeks ahead!

The Chef's omakase is the way to go here. It's an 8 course meal - it came with a few appetizer dishes ahead of the nigiri, including a few slices of sashimi, a chawanmushi, and miso marinated black cod, ahead of 7 amazing chef-choice cuts of nigiri. Check out the pictures to see how fresh each of these pieces of nigiri and sashimi are. It also came with a nice little strawberry and chocolate mochi dessert at the end.

An is a hidden gem in SF where there are so many options. This one is very affordable and the chefs explained each dish perfectly. Would highly...

Price quality ratio is unbeatable. Pretty easy to make last minute reservations. I was able to get a seat for 2 at the sushi bar a day before.

The chef is really acccomodating to what you want to eat and i saw him tailor the omakase for others who had a lot of restrictions.

It’s not your blow your mind out of this world Michelin Star type omakase. But it’s a place you can go often without breaking the bank and the quality is good. They have really good quality and great service.

One complaint is my friend that I went with, in one of his nigiri, the fish still had two small bones. I hate it when that happens. :(

Will be back though, one small mistake doesn’t stray me away from all the really good food...
