Mamanoko - San Francisco

Awesome food! Fun ambiance. Ask the wait staff for a vegetarian menu. It has 8 items. 7 of which are vegan. The vegetarian item just needs a change to the salad dressing for it to be vegan.

Mamanoko is my go-to spot for just about any occasion. You have to ask the server for vegan options, but their staff is knowledgable and accomodating to all I'm obsessed with the Brussel Sprouts, Baby Kale Gomaae, and Spicy Edamame, and my favorite thing about this spot is their superb sake selection!

We took a table outside in a covered area by the street. It was comfortable and not at all noisy. The service was prompt, attentive and never too much nor too little. The menu had appealing options for all four of us. The nigiri sushi I ordered was uniformly excellent and included many of my favorites. The bento box was a favorite, as well as two different sushi rolls we tried. We will definitely go again on our next visit to San Francisco.

It was one of our favorite restaurant until yesterday night.My husband and I had a parents night out leaving our 6 months daughter with nanny and we were really excited to eat there after a looong time! We live in the other side of the city (Bernal Heights) and we planned very carefully every detail to make sure to arrive before the restaurant closure.Internet indicates 9.30pm as kitchen closure.So we arrived exactly at 9pm and the girl at the reception said they were closed. When we asked explanations and try to explain that on Internet say that the restaurant closes 9.30pm, she said exactly: “Depend on the flow of the night…”Next time I will try to explain my nanny (and my daughter too) that her payment will depend on the “night flow” of Mamanoko restaurant.Very disappointed

This place is a gem! The ambiance is romantic with dim lighting, and the sushi selection is top-notch. The highlight of the evening was their amazing dessert roll – an unforgettable experience! A must-visit for sushi enthusiasts looking to indulge in a memorable dining experience.
