Balboa Teriyaki — Restaurant in San Francisco

I love this little cozy space. I think they should have more unique name instead of balboa teriyaki. even hello kitty teriyaki would be better. oh, wait. it's kinda gross. nvm. it was Saturday astound 6:30. there were 2 other tables but not busy at all. at all. AT ALL. but I will put one extra * 'cause those local restaurants usually put a sign says "kids friendly" and I hate it. but this place is as I mentioned earlier, not busy, super cozy and no kids when I was there. I ordered Hawaiian poki salad, beef icon and double hamachi roll. Hawaiian poki salad was excellent. I don't think any traditional Japanese food come with spicy sauce but you can ask how spicy your poki salad is and I asked mild. it was just right spicy. Hawaiian poki salad is excellent there. beef udon was okay. just okay. I think they make broth, not like powder based soup. double hamachi roll was neat and decent. I believe a woman made the sushi roll. if that was the case, I kinda see how the roll made. I mean I don't know the process but my experience, woman chefs make lookin' good dish then man chefs. usually. just usually. my experience. the server was really friendly. light conversation. he didn't cut in our conversation. gay. but deserve one . total is *** I definitely come back...

Items Ordered: Vegetable udon, vegetable potstickers, edamame, miso soup, beer, sake bombs, and two sushi rolls.

The restaurant was run on the front-end by one woman. When my party arrived, we were only the second table but as time went on, it got busier and she managed it all. My only food recommendations would be to offer tofu in the vegetable udon and salt on the edamame (or table). The place does feel very cluttered too with all of the storage along the walls but I'm not sure if that fits in with the other restaurants...

From my first bite of their sushi 7 years ago, I knew this was going to be my sushi spot. The ambiance is really cute, the staff is very friendly and attentive but most importantly their sushi is so delicious!! The rolls are made with love...there are so many creative combinations, using fresh fish and veggies. My partner is allergic to seafood but he still gets his sushi on! He orders the chicken teriyaki roll and veggie roll (with jalapeño). It is a nice place for a date night or a place to...
