Ebisu

The constant wait for a table is testament to the quality at this intimate, 30-year-old Inner Sunset restaurant. It’s owned by Steve and Koio Fujii, along with their sons, Eric and Charlie, who often make an appearance behind the bar. The ever-changing line-up includes an array of nigiri, rolls, and hand-rolls. But regulars know to order off the day’s specials, listed on the chalkboard behind the bar, or just ask the chef to concoct something special. (He’ll gladly oblige.)
