Here are my notes on the webpage for sushi restaurants in San Francisco by Eater SF:

• There are 16 sushi restaurants in San Francisco that are worth checking out.
• The list includes both high-end omakase spots and neighborhood sushi restaurants.
• If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, there are also above-average neighborhood spots that are worth seeking out.
• Zushi Puzzle has been the neighborhood sushi destination of the Marina for years. The move is not to order off the regular menu but to call and get a reservation at the sushi bar. Chef Roger Chong guides diners to the freshest fish and the best specials on offer that day.
• The Shota is one of the city’s swankier omakase spots at the Financial District. They serve Michelin-starred Edomae-style omakase sushi, otsumami, and sushiya cuisine. The 15-course meal costs $300 per person, but aged, cured, and marinated techniques are on full display.
• Friends Only is a new establishment by the team behind Akikos. It is an extremely exclusive 10-seat omakase counter that doubles as an R+D kitchen of sorts. Diners indulge in a multi-course omakase meal that’s overflowing with premium ingredients, including caviar, uni, Hokkaido scallops, and other hard-to-find fish for $250 or more.
• Akikos relocated to the East Cut with a 24-seat Chef’s Stage. Diners can get a front-row view of chef Ray Lee, head sushi chef Shinsuke Hayashi, and the rest of the team at work. It’s an ever-changing omakase experience that features Ray’s unique dry-aged fish and wagyu-topped shokupan, among others.
• Oma offers an intimate omakase experience in Japan Center mall. The 90-minute meal enjoyed just steps from the bustling shopping corridors will cost anywhere from $95-165 with all menus including sashimi, nigiri, and both hot and cold plates from the chef.
• In terms of omakase options in the city, Chīsai Sushi Club offers 13 courses for $90, 17 courses for $120. The restaurant brings an inventive approach to its former space. The menu features seared King salmon nigiri with nori butter, fat tuna and uni temaki and creamy uni carbonara.
