Moving up to SF from the South Bay, I struggled to find a sushi roll place in the city that really hits the mark in terms of quality and quantity that you'd typically find everywhere else in the Bay Area with SF sushi scene truly about nigiri, omakase, and sashimi quality. I'm confident to say after a year of being here that I have found the best sushi rolls in the city at Kazan in the mission. I typically get the Last Samurai (XXL) and the 49er roll. When I eat sushi, I love to binge so I'm trying to find the biggest rolls you can possibly get, which is what Kazan is all about and you'd honestly just need one roll to get completely stuffed. The Last Samurai is big enough to be two rolls in one with tons of spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and crab meat and the 49er roll is salmon sashimi on top of oversized California rolls, a staple I get at any sushi restaurant that has it. The first time I ordered here, I didn't realize on DoorDash you had to tab on utensils and condiments to get them. The second time I ordered, they called to make sure I wanted it so I didn't not have them again. They also were super polite about it, even when I was pretty mad that they didn't include it the first time (being a mistake on my side). If you're looking for the best sushi rolls in SF, you'll find it at Kazan.

First of all, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean & cute it was inside. A little gem on 24th. Got takoyaki, the threesome roll, & the 24th st roll. All were very good! The takoyaki was solid, but I wouldn't have been too sad without it. Typically I like sashimi/nigiri, but the balance of flavors and sauces on each were great and the fish cuts were thick. Everything tasted fresh. And it wasn't too expensive either!

You'll often find a tradeoff between price and quality for Bay Area sushi, but I believe this to be a false dichotomy. Because if you know where to look, you'll find gems like Kazan which excel in both. Kazan's nestled in an unassuming, smaller space on the 24th street stretch. But, do notes: big things come in small packages. My date suggested this place (he's a frequent patron), so he pretty much ordered our spread. Not too peckish, we had two nigiri samplers, calamari, and an a la carte otoro nigiri. The attention to detail with the miscellaneous garnishes and blow torch finishes on every nigiri seemed straight out of your average upscale sushi experience, yet Kazan's dishes come at a fraction of the price. Factoring in the sheer quality, the sushi is pretty darn good, but when additionally factoring in the cost, my God, the sushi is a godsend. Our waitress was also attentive, ensuring to bring out chilled glasses for our beer to share. It's dispiriting to dine at Kazan, only to head back to the sushi desert that is Danville, but I guess that just means I'll have to make the trek out for another visit.

I love the sushi from Kazan! They really pack the rolls with a lot of fish and it was very fresh. I also really enjoyed the sashimi salad. It had a lot of good flavor and it was packed with fish. The service was good. I would definitely come back.

Tasty and fresh sushi set in a dim, intimate atmosphere. Space is small but nice with very friendly service. Weekend visit during early evening for a group of 3 as a walk in. Only a couple other diners and we were sat right away. Pride (Rainbow) Roll - crab and avocado topped with tuna, salmon, hamachi, green onion. Good balance of fishes with creaminess and sweetness from avocado and crab respectively. Shishito Fries - tempura battered and fried shishito pepper. Crispy and not oily which made them enjoyable to eat.

Checked this place out last week because I'm always on the hunt for a new great sushi spot, and I'm glad I did! We arrived around 8pm on a Wednesday night, no reservation, and were seated indoors immediately. We tried: 24th st roll, Kazan roll, Lion King roll, and sexy sexy roll. While they are definitely not the best sushi I've had in the city, the rolls had great flavor, and they are HUGE. Definitely over ordered, haha. It's nowhere near the best sushi I've had in the city, but I do think it's a solid option for the location, and satisfies the sushi craving. A lot of their appetizers looked and sounded good - I would consider coming back here to try some more of the menu! Ambiance was also great, music was not too loud, and service was attentive. I've noted some reviews to mention the opposite so perhaps they've taken the feedback.

Stopped by for an early dinner on the weekend and was seated immediately (party of 2). We got a roll and sashimi deluxe to share. The roll itself was solid and tasted pretty good. Not too much rice either which I appreciated. However, I did feel that they went kind of overboard with the toppings. The veggies were fine but I feel like there was more than necessary. Moving onto the sashimi plate, this was a mixed bag. I would say half of the fish selection was good while the other half was either ok or didn't taste that great. The main pieces like salmon, tuna, and yellowtail tasted good though so I was happy with that at least. Overall, had a good experience though and would definitely just stick to nigiri/sashimi that you're familiar with and enjoy or rolls.

Came here for sushi and ended up getting far more than we expected, as everything on the menu was appealing. All of the food we ordered was made fresh with quality ingredients, so much that we could taste the difference in comparison to other similar places. We loved every single dish we got... the lion king roll, three some roll, new england clam chowder croquette, tonkatsu ramen soup, and tuna and hamachi toro (it was all so good, the leftovers were minimal). We also received quick and attentive service, the one employee taking care of all the tables was super friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with simple and charming decor and lighting creating a great ambience for date night... or any night! :)

Favorite sushi spot in the Mission for the price to quality value. I love their selection of nigiri and the hot dishes offer some variety from other sushi appetizers. It's my go-to spot for a casual sushi dinner and better for small groups. It's a smaller dining area that's very lively and intimate. The owners are always super friendly and service is quick and helpful. What to order: *Kazan roll - my favorite roll! Best if you like seared hamachi and the sauce is very refreshing and savory. A little on the saltier side but this is what makes it tasty! *Sake toro hand roll - the BEST hand roll with generous slices of avocado and thick seared salmon belly. It's smoky and rich. I love that you can turn almost any nigiri on the menu into a handroll upon request. The hot dishes are pretty good but I would skip the mushroom fries as the breading slid off the oyster mushrooms. It was like eating a mozzarella stick without the cheese because it fell out. Tasted good but would've preferred breading and mushroom to stick together.

GOOD but pricey. Stumbled upon this little Izakaya/sushi spot while trying to get a drink in the mission area. I had a good experience, but man oh man, this place is a little pricey. The bluefin tuna sampler was my favorite thing that we ordered. Each cut was super thick, and it came with 8 total pieces beginning with the leaner cut and progressing towards the rich and buttery otoro. UGH so good but damn $48. I thought the third cut of tuna, the chutoro, actually tasted better than the otoro because it wasn't overwhelmingly rich. Still, all very tasty and served with grated wasabi and a wasabi relish. The mushroom fries and the shishito fries were also very good, nice and crispy and costs $11 and $10, which wasn't terrible. The spicy salmon kama had a nice kick to it, seared perfectly and still very juicy, not overcooked at all. $16 for kama is pretty standard. And lastly we ordered a bottle of kikusui sake at $69/bottle and that definitely set our bill higher than expected, but you can't have fried tapas without sake. It's the cherry on top. Overall, I would definitely come here again, but would be a little more careful on picking the expensive items on the menu. Although I'd say their fish quality is pretty great.
