Yum Yum Fish, San Francisco, California, Japanese Restaurant Details

Food:

The sushi was excellent! The fish was very fresh, and full-flavored. The staff were very friendly. It's a little place, but it feels cozy.

Food:

This is a fish market-turned sushi bar and they have a wonderful variety of fish cuts you can't get at regular restaurants. I have been going to this place for nearly 20 years and their prices have remained extraordinarily low

Food:

With a focus on carry-out, this place is as bare bones as it gets--but the sushi is good. The fish is pretty fresh and get full on about $10 of food. As compared to larger sushi restaurants, the variety here is more limited. When I prefer less decadence, I request the no-mayo versions of the rolls and the chef is always accommodating. Kamikaze and Unagi rolls are my favorites.

Large tray orders are quite popular. Maybe I'll order one for my next potluck.

Food:

While walking on Irving, my girlfriend and I decided we wanted some japanese food after looking at the sign that said yum yum. Both of us ate alot of dim sum during the morning so we decided to split a Chirashi Bowl. The chirashi bowl was huge when I first got it and was definitely thinking this is the best price for the amount of fresh fish we were about to eat. There was a lot of rice but it was overflowing with fresh fish and sashimi. The restaurant looked empty but it's also a place where you can pick up fresh fish, and not just sushi. Prices may vary depending on the season! Will definitely come back again to try different kinds of fish.

Food:

As someone that promotes Japanese food for a living and been to Japan several times, I have to say that Yum Yum Fish has some of the freshest fish I've ever had. There's a reason for that. They get their fish delivered every morning. In addition to selling sushi, they sell their fish by the lbs to customers and some local restaurants. There are only three tables inside so most people order take-out. I know some people may be scared off by the meat market looking atmosphere and maybe was expecting a typical Japanese restaurant ambiance. There's nothing glamorous about the looks of the place but the fish is one of the best this side of the Pacific.
