ACE WASABI’S ROCK-N-ROLL SUSHI
3339 Steiner Street, San Francisco, CA 94123
(415)576-4903
In Japan, an Izakaya is a drinking place and a food house. Ace Wasabi’s in San Francisco’s lively Marina District strives to be a fun place to socialize while enjoying outstanding Asian food and drinks, and many locals would agree it’s succeeded (watch out, it gets crowded!). The sushi here is both fresh and creative. In addition to traditional nigiri (raw fish on rice), you can get one of the restaurant’s several fanciful rolls, such as spicy tuna and asparagus and tempura shrimp, eel and cucumber. During the week, regulars participate in noisy games of bingo before 6:30 pm with the prize being $20 worth of fresh sushi.
