"I live in the neighborhood, and I've been to Kiji over 50 times. My personal opinion: It's the best sushi bar in San Francisco. It's even superior to most sushi places in Tokyo and Kyoto, and elsewhere."

"The sushi was among the best in the city - impeccably fresh, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The pork gyoza and vegetable tempura we tried were excellent. Service was a little muddled on a busy Friday night, but it appeared that they had just one sushi chef for the restaurant, which slowed down the food. We will return happily."
