The service was good. But the chef and fish was exceptional!! Had the omacase was sooo good. Never a bad experience here. The ambiance was pretty chill and fun especially at the bar. Look forward to my next trip to SF.

I've been frequenting this restaurant for years and it's never disappointed me! I hadn't been here in a while and visited recently to celebrate a buddy's birthday. He said "don't even look at the menu, let's all do Omakase, you won't regret it." And he was right! Every piece was delicious, and for $42 each, a good deal! This place gets very busy and parking can be challenging at times, they take reservations by phone.

If you're looking for a bang for your buck for fresh sushi, this is the place to go. Amami's seating is on the smaller side, had to wait about 25 minutes to seat our party of 5 on a Monday night but it was totally worth it. The sushi came out fresh, especially their nigiri pieces on the $42 Omakase set is insane! Very generous portion sizes here. Toro and maguro pieces are thick and freshly cut. The chicken karaage and tempura were super crunchy (shrimp tempera was a little meh) Servers bring out complimentary hot tea during the meal and able to refill anytime. Sushi in the city can be expensive, but the quality of this place speaks for itself and is pretty affordable. It does get busy inside so service can be a bit caught up, however, servers are super friendly. They have lots of special on their menu whiteboard posted on the inside as well. 9.5/10 would go back again for sure!

Still serving massive, quality sushi. + Melted in the Mouth Roll ($18 for 8 pieces): filled with unagi and avocado and drenched in a more liquidy ponzu/unagi sauce. Definitely melt in your mouth! (8.8/10)

Portion size is everything here. Just look at the photos. Not only is the food delicious but they literally give you giant pieces of fish. It's my family favorite sushi spot. All the food served is fresh and creatively made.

Seems like south city has an interesting downtown. First time hanging out in this area and already a few places I'd want to try Came to Amami San for a birthday date suggested by a friend. Ordered the omakase which is 10 pc at $42. Thr fish is plentiful and fresh, the wasabi is earthy with texture. I think it might be a blend of real Wasabi and paste? Either way it was good! Also ordered the hamachi kama (they were out of salmon) which was moist and tasty. Nice place for a casual dinner. A ton of good nigiri and rolls options too.

I've been here 4 times now and each time have gotten the $42 omakase. What a great deal. They have 10 pieces of sushi and the cuts are very generous in size. I've always left full after. Their gyoza is also quite good. A little hidden gem in SSF I think they sometimes chance some of the pieces tok. There used to be a scallop piece that has since been replaced with a seared lobster piece!

Long time fan, first time reviewing. I've been here many times, often for dinner. This time I went with my sister in the afternoon and didn't realize we walked in 30 minutes before their closing. They still took us in which we were so grateful for, and never felt rushed. They were on break and still made sure we had full cups of hot tea. Ordered: - Chef Alan's Omakase Special - Lovers Boat - Agedashi Tofu - Chicken Karage Overall everything was great, fresh and well seasoned! Great service and ambiance.
