Populairste Japanse restaurants in Marina / Cow Hollow / Presidio

Nisei was an amazing dining experience! We tried their autumn tasting menu, and every course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and full of seasonal flavors. The creative dishes blended Japanese influences, modern techniques, and Californian flair, flowing seamlessly into a culinary journey. Service was equally impressive: warm, attentive, and welcoming. Chef David visited our table twice and thanked us as we left, making the evening feel special and personal. Every detail was handled with care. Nisei delivers fine dining that’s creative yet approachable, polished without pretension, and memorable from start to finish. It’s one of our best dining experiences—worth every penny. We can’t wait to return for another seasonal menu. Highly recommend!

Not only was the food delectable, but the staff was so outgoing and strived for customer satisfaction. They made me and my family feel like long-standing friends of their community.

We enjoyed our various dishes. Highly recommend the Crispy Tuna Tartare and the Black Miso Cod, yum!!

The food was amazing, a step above most top restaurants in SF. Every dish was unique and delicious. Staff was very knowledgeable and responsive.

The creamy ramen was very good. We were there with 8 people on a Saturday.
