Ryoko – San Francisco, California – Very Fresh Sushi
Amaebi (sweet shrimp), Volcano Roll, & Pokemon Roll
Chicken Karaage (fried chicken)
Ryoko is near Union Square and all the shops. I almost walked by it but my brother-in-law recommended it. It’s a very small, cozy place with solid sushi. The atmosphere is good. The service was efficient and our waitress was friendly.
They serve you some edamame to start. We had the Pokemon roll, the Volcano Roll, and the Jumping Eel Roll. Everything was very fresh. I loved the Pokemon and the Jumping Eel Roll. I bit in and the fresh fish almost melted in my mouth. They use high quality fish (as they should).
The Volcano roll was okay but it was a little strange. We ordered it because it had peanut butter in it and sounded interesting. I think peanut butter is best left off sushi. It wasn’t terrible but picture a shrimp with a glob of peanut butter on it and you’ll get the picture. I wouldn’t order the Volcano Roll again.
I also had a good miso soup and the Karaage Chicken (fried chicken). Both were excellent. The Karaage Chicken was just as Japanese fried chicken should be, lightly crispy with a tasty satisfying little crunch.
I do like this hole in the wall and will be here again soon for sure. There was a line so make sure you you get there in advance to put your name down.
