What a great spot! Small and very personal service. The food is carefully prepared right in front of you from fresh beautiful ingredients. Seats five at the bar, best seating, plus two small tables. If your in Japan town

It is a tiny spot, so reservations are a must. And yes, you are leaving it to the chef. If you love sashimi and Japanese food, this is a must. You will be served courses and will not regret your choice in dining here.

This very quaint sushi restaurant is located in San Francisco's Japantown 2 X blocks off Post Street. No neon or obvious street signs so be careful to look for the posting on the front door, you could walk right by and be sure to make a "reservation"! Inside there is comfortable seating for twelve and a very small sushi bar. The atmosphere is inviting and upon arrival you receive a very warm welcome from the husband and wife proprietors. I believe individual sushi and sashimi can be ordered but we opted to choose the "chef's select menu", a five course selection of soup, sashimi and sushi. The sake menu is also extensive with varied "dryness" and subtle "flavours" available.
Kiss Seafood could easily qualify as a "Michelin" starred restaurant, OISHI DELICOUS.
Delicious Food, Intimate Experience!
The restaurant hides in plain sight---don't drive past! Once you're inside, the experience is well worth it. It's run by a husband and wife couple. We got the assorted sashimi and did not regret it. Precisely cut fish (very fresh) with great sushi rice and a faint touch of wasabi. Melts in your mouth! Great conversation with the chef and a very pleasant evening.

Don't blink because you can walk right by it as there is no signage other than a little sign on the door. Being Japanese-American I felt I was at home with my mom and dad. They spoke in Japanese and Otosan was a little hard on Okasan occasionally, but she held her own. He was a talented sushi maker, cutting the fish precisely and forming the nigiri sushi into perfect bite size pieces. The sushi rice was flavorful. The agedashi tofu was delicious! And the nigiri sushi was definitely as fresh as it is in Japan (except nothing can top Tsukijii sushi-yas, but this was pretty darn close). Everything was high quality, fresh, fresh, fresh--from the Japanese cucumbers, shiso leaves, horse radish to, of course, the fish.

We made a bad choice because we got the chef special and all I wanted was sushi! But with the chef special you get to soups and these tiny nasty snails! I understand Escargot in butter and garlic sauce but these snails were tiny with zero sauce! The sushi is fantastic and I reccomend just go for sushi not the chefs special! Cherrs

We always want to support smaller local restaurants, and this place has perhaps 4 tables and a few seats at the sushi bar, which explains the required $40 minimum per person. IMHO rewording that sentence to mean the equivalent of $4o per person for whatever size group is eating would be a better way to go. We tried Chawan Mushi, and three different sushi, and also sashimi assortments. Fish was fresh and good. We did note the chef was a bit uptight and frustrated when we passed a plate to tasted other items. He also has a light hand with pieces of fish, not so think you can see through them but a bit thinner than expected for the price.

A little pricey, but worth it! Wife had the Omakase- chef's choice, and I had an assorted sushi plate. Food and service were incredible. If you can get a reservation, don't hesitate to stop in

The food is wonderful at this intimate 12-seat restaurant in Japantown. We chose the omakase (chef’s choice) dinner for $60 which included about six courses. It is a great value for omakase of this high quality. They gave us two free courses of an amuse bouche at the beginning and delicious cantaloupe at the end. The omakase courses included sushi, sashimi, cooked seafood and soup. We also ordered an appetizer of the grilled Hamachi collar, which was delicious, because it is not always available at sushi restaurants. All the dishes were exquisite and the value was exceptional.
It is owned and operated by a couple and open Wednesdays through Saturdays for dinner only. You can watch the husband prepare the food and the wife waits on the tables. She is friendly and welcoming. It has a minimalist soothing environment with wonderful music. Very relaxing and one can talk comfortably. It is so low-key, with such a small sign on the door that we almost missed it, even though standing right in front of it on the corner of Laguna and Sutter.
The dinner is a work of art; service needs some guidance.
There is no doubt that dining at Kiss is more than eating--the preparation and presentation is an aesthetic experience. This is, by far, the best Japanese restaurant that we have been to outside of Japan. Too formal to be called Izakaya, the restaurant consists of a single average-sized room with a bar. It seats about twelve people: eight at two tables and four at the bar. We ordered omakase which, as you probably know, is a set of dishes selected by the chef. The sushi and sashimi were utterly perfect, and beautiful to behold. A small stack of pickles with ginger compares well to the look of a tiny bonzai. The ingredients of all dishes were utterly fresh, expertly prepared, and beautifully presented. Their selection of sake is among the best I've seen outside Japan.
This would have been a perfect evening except for a major flaw: The traditional feeling of being welcome and politeness that you find in a restaurant in Japan was largely absent here. In fact, after spending about $240 on a meal for two, the server asked us to leave because another couple were due to arrive in 15 minutes. We were ready to leave anyway, but this is a case of rudeness that one should never, ever experience. It basically ruined the evening. To make matters worse, when I said, "gochisosama deshita" to the server and the chef as we were leaving, they didn't have the courtesy even to look up at us. Perhaps it was the end of a long week for them. Or possibly it's the hustle of being in the States (they are Japanese) that has got to their heads.
Despite this, my overall recommendation for those who know and love Japanese food is to have dinner at Kiss. If you order omakase, which I highly recommend, you can expect to pay north of $200 if you include the cost of a few glasses of sake (which I also recommend). Perhaps my experience there was an aberration--the quality of the food is truly outstanding.
Call to reserve--this is a small restaurant, and it will probably fill up fast.
