Elephant Sushi - San Francisco

We had lunch at the Elephant Sushi on Grove, and it was a delight! We had a selection of artisan pickles; salt, vinegar and miso cured to compare, followed by a collar of fish with a sweet, crusty marinade! My favourite was a sushi roll steamed at the table in a foil pocket! Flavour explosion! My friends loved the raw offerings, (not my personal thing) served with fascinating garnishes like saffron stamens, and truffle shavings! The cocktails were strong, tasty, and well balanced to complement the sushi. I nearly got kicked off my chair by the Asian pear cocktail, with a beautiful marigold garnish! We sat there for about an hour and a half, trying different things! Highly recommend their food!

Really was expecting to be impressed. Unfortunately not the case. Mental note to not order again... 2/5 omasake 3.5/5 white roll

This place is so amazing. Get the Himalayan salt trout. You will definitely order another round of it.

Foods were amazingly delicious. Don't misjudge the location and size. Would come back for more. Arrived around 730pm on a Saturday. Place looks very small, probably can seat handful of party. 1-2 parties were already there. Got seated right away, and given complimentary rolls. They were good. Ordered the rainbow roll and toro uni roll. They came out relatively quickly. Rainbow, fish were fresh and nicely balanced, no need to dip. They also don't skimp out giving you gari. The toro uni were heavens. Uni were fresh and full-bodied. The rice texture was refreshing. It's topped with kizami wasabi, no need to dip in sauce or additional wasabi. They got the flavors and quality right.

This is a really good , casual sushi spot conveniently located to the hotels in the Union Square area. Fish was really fresh and generously cut on the 2 sushi rolls I had. I'm a big eater, but I wasn't able to finish my rolls. I got the rainbow roll and the Chef Ochko roll. The rainbow roll was pretty much standard but very good. But the Chef Ochko roll was definitely my favorite. It was generously filled with really fresh real blue crab and topped with generously cut slices of tuna. I really wanted to try the truffle roll but was way too full. I'll definitely be back.
