Ebisu has operated in San Francisco's Inner Sunset, near Golden Gate Park, for over 40 years under owners Steve and Koko Fujii. The menu runs through sashimi, chirashi, nigiri, temaki, sushi rolls, udon, and rice bowls, with a 10-piece omakase nigiri set available at the counter. Fish is sourced from suppliers around the globe, and the restaurant also handles takeout, online ordering, and catering alongside its full-service lunch and dinner hours.
The room runs loud and the tables sit close together, but service moves quickly and the staff checks in throughout the meal. Sitting at the sushi counter cuts through some of the noise, and a specials board — half-shell oysters among the rotating options — runs alongside the fixed menu. Appetizers like miso-glazed eggplant and agedashi tofu round out a lineup built on straightforward rolls, nigiri, and handrolls.
