Long review: the best sushi in San Francisco. Not an opinion, just a fact. I've watched people melt in their seats while eating here. Have you ever sat in a restaurant for 2 hours and heard little to no conversation ? Tekka is a sushi experience. Their sashimi will make you wonder why you even bothered spending time and money anywhere else. Mom and pop owned and operated. Husband and wife du who play Johnny cash and the bee fees while delivering consistently incredible sashimi and rolls. Huge glass of sake. Check. Huge bottle of beer. Check. Unlimited green tea? Check. I just spent 150$ for two people here. I have no money and I'm moving to another country. I don't care, it's tekka I'm talking about. Do you want to watch a master sushi chef prepare the freshest sashimi plate in north America? Go to tekka. The nigiri is 3.50-4.00$ for one piece. "oh that's to expensive. " no! It's tekka. That piece of nigiri is six inches long and fresh from fish heaven. Just go to tekka.

People complain about the wait. Here are two seatings at 730 and 9. The restaurant seats 10. I live across the street and watch a line form down the block. Despite this, and I know I'm lucky, I always walk in with no wait. Go on a Tuesday night or something. Forget the weekend. I typed this on my iPhone. I love tekka. If you can't get in, don't give up. Go to Halu a few blocks over for yakitori. Don't give up. #1!
