Kuma Sushi + Sake

Kuma Sushi + Sake is a neighborhood sushi bar on Polk Street in San Francisco's Lower Nob Hill, opened in 2017 with a mission to serve the freshest possible fish in a casual setting at accessible prices. The focused menu highlights the day's catch through a chef's choice nigiri selection, a signature Chirashi bowl with 14 cuts of fish over wild grain rice, and specialty rolls like the Hey Girl and Faceplant, paired with a curated sake program. Diners and critics alike have praised Kuma for delivering quality on par with much more expensive omakase experiences in a relaxed, neighborhood atmosphere.
