Ozumo

If you are looking for a great Sushi restaurant near Union Square, then check out Ozumo on the Embarcadero. I've been here a couple of times and really enjoyed it both times.

It has both Sushi and other Japanese dishes, so you have a variety to choose from at Ozumo. I usually head straight for the Sushi rolls.

I'd recommend trying their Sumo roll, a slight twist to the standard California roll. I'd also recommend their Spider roll.

Ozumo is also great because it's right along the Embarcadero. The east side of the restaurant has views of the San Francisco bay and the bay bridge.

You can easily get to Ozumo from Union Square by either walking or taking one of the many Muni options down Market Street. You can also take a cab down to the Embarcadero for about $10.

Ozumo is one of my favorite Sushi restaurants in San Francisco. It's also a great option for those staying in and around Union Square

Blowfish Sushi To Die For

Blowfish Sushi is another great Sushi restaurant in San Francisco. It's located in the Potrero Hill neighborhood in San Francisco.

This restaurant started in San Francisco and was so popular it branched out to a second location in San Jose, CA. I love this restaurant because they have a great menu and really fresh sushi.

I'd recommend starting with the Popcorn Prawns or spice it up by starting with the Japanese Ceviche. It'd then move on to some of their rolls such as the $o$uMi roll or the San Francisco roll.

As always, you should end the night with a great dessert. My favorite is their Chocolate Dream.

Blowfish is located at 2170 Bryant Street at around 20th and Bryant Streets. It's a $15 cab ride from Union Square, which is your best option.

Tsunami Sushi

Another one of my favorite Sushi Restaurants in San Francisco is Tsunami Sushi in the Alamo Square/NOPA area of San Francisco. It's a great place, but you'll want to get reservations if you can.

Located on Fulton Street near Divisadero, this sushi restaurant is a hot spot. I recommend trying one of their rolls, especially one with a creative spin on it.

This restaurant also has a great selection of Saki. So, don't forget to add this to your experience. Tsunami Sushi is a quick cab ride from Union Square. You can also take the 5 Fulton bus from Union Square. Get off at the McAllister and Divisadero Street stop and walk one block south to Fulton.

There is also usually parking in this neighborhood, so you should be able to find a spot within a few blocks of the restaurant.
