The Shota San Francisco Reviews from The Last Year
This place was 5 stars! A few standouts were the squid
This place was 5 stars! A few standouts were the squid dipped in Uni Sauce, A5 Wagyu sushi, and probably the best piece of "lean tuna" I've ever had. I enjoyed all the dishes here. The Sake Pairing was also a winner, I liked trying all the different sakes. Yes it's a splurge but I'd definitely come back to this place. Probably the best sushi I've had overall.
One of the best omakase places in The Bay.
Went this past November with a group of friends. Staff were super friendly, overall vibes were amazing, and the food was delicious. Definitely want to come back next time I'm in the area.
Wowww this place was amazing! Each dish was unique and
Wowww this place was amazing! Each dish was unique and tasty. I don't think I have anything I didn't like from this dinner. From the moment you walk in, you're greated with great service. The place feels and looks clean and minimalistic. They mainly have bar seating as they focus on the experience. You can really notice the attention to detail they put into each piece and dish. From the plates and glassware they use, to the way they cut each piece of fish, it really added to the overall experience. I added on the a5 waygu with uni and that was seriously one perfect bite. I'm dreaming of the next time we visit again as my moth is watering thinking about and writing this review!
Cannot say enough good things about this place.
Food: we came for my birthday and every bite was solid. If I absolutely have to nitpick the miso soup at the end was a lil under seasoned and I wasn't expecting the kinmedai to be cooked dish. The a5 wagyu nigiri add-on might be the best of my life so far. Service: excellent, excellent attention to detail. 1) You sit in your counter seat and the staff push you in to make sure you don't need to do the awkward scooching yourself. If you leave your seat and come back there are staff waiting for you to come back so they can assist with seating you again. 2) I ordered the ensui uni add-on and chef Seth gave me a triple decker uni nigiri for my birthday as he saw how much I love uni . 3) special shout out to Tida, super knowledgeable somm and michelin insta hubby of my dreams thank you for taking so many pictures of us! Ambiance: It's located on the first floor of a beaux arts style office building. Inside the restaurant it's bright and minimalist. They deserve their star, I will absolutely be back.
The service was amazing and this has got to be the best
The service was amazing and this has got to be the best omakase that I've ever had here in the city. I usually don't like scallop but this has changed my mind most definitely my fav that night. I love the intimate setting as well best birthday dinner spent.
the shota is probably THE best omakase i've been to but
the shota is probably THE best omakase i've been to but comes with a hefty price hahah. we came here to celebrate our anniversary and service was excellent!!! everything about this restaurant was perfect. the fish was delicious, service was great, the feel of the restaurant felt elegant. i would recommend everyone to try this place at least once! we did order a supplement of uni which is why it was pricer than we originally preferred but i think it was the best uni i've had. as for the omakase, we really enjoy watching the fish get prepared in front of us and the shota delivered. they thoroughly explained every fish and every little thing they added to the fish. would i come back? YES!! but it'd have to be for another big milestone celebration
Pretty bad.
Was about 4 stars when the chef was around but lately it's godawful. Yoshizumi best. Way too many seats like a VC put money in and thought it was a good idea to expand quantity and diminish quality
The restaurant is located next to a building entrance and
The restaurant is located next to a building entrance and is easy to spot. The decor looked nice was my initial thought. I've dined at many sushiya in Japan and ranging from Ginza to the smaller cities like Ehime. Therefore I was a bit excited to see if there was something close to that type of experience in the Bay Area. The presentation was there, the flavors were there, and service also. I liked the talk given for each dish and the origin. I did the supplements and they were definitely a good option. I was already pretty full by the time they told me about the Al La Carte. Bummer. They showed the fish head, and was allowed to touch. It was a fun little touch, and they have a bottle of sanitizer ready for each set of guest to use. Their staff were trained well to be attentive. I wish I could've ordered more dessert as La carte haha.
Great experience.
Every dish was beautifully curated. We had a glass of white wine the sommelier recommended. My favorite was the uni wagyu! I could've probably had ten pieces of that. The fatty tuna was melt in your mouth delicious. The ambiance was peaceful and relaxing. The service was top notch. Def recommend!
What a memorable birthday dinner I had with my friend! She
What a memorable birthday dinner I had with my friend! She chose the place, and I was impressed by the ambiance, impeccable service, and the amazing food.
Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 I really can't think of
Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 I really can't think of anything negative to say about this place, or the sushi. The staff here take care of you like you're visiting their home, and every ingredient is showcased carefully with detailed explanations of what you are eating. Will be coming back again and again.
San Francisco, Financial District.
December 2023. A swanky high end west coast sushi omakase experience in the FiDi. That means the omakase is in the same league as very good sushi in Tokyo but at a higher price. The formality is more American than Japanese and similar to what you might experience in Los Angeles. If you are a laggard in showing up they will try to get you caught up. The clean lines and comforting light and color means you are not distracted from the food placed in front of you. The music jumps around and sometimes distracts with volume and tempo but otherwise stays in the background. Service is precise from the time you are seated until your departure. The omakase is only reserved through Tock, which means pre-paid. However, beverages and alcohol are additional, as are the upcharge supplements and any additional nigiri you might desire near the end of service. Your itamae will show you some of the neta to be served in a cedar box display - not everything you see will be in your omakase. Down the line they may bring out the head of the maguro they've broken down that day - it's strictly a show. The meals starts with otsumami in a kaiseki procession. A hassun sets the season. The tsukuri is sashimi and served with a separate ball of the shari so you can see and taste the quality of the rice. Another otsumami will break up the monotony of nigiri. In the fashion of a good omakase the meal will wind down after the anago nigiri and a final handroll - with a dessert and tamagoyaki. Before you leave another sweet bite may be offered. This is a worthwhile omakase if you are willing to splurge but it is not for sushi novices.
So first off the service is impeccable.
The chefs, the staff, everyone is so so lovely and great. And they did a lot of special stuff for us too. The reason this isn't five stars though is the rice which can be make it or break it to me and at a 300 Per person place it should be good. It was just not cohesive and it was cold which is not great for sushi to me. I liked this place but not enough to come back given the price point.
There are no words to describe how amazing this experience
There are no words to describe how amazing this experience was but I'll do my best. I've been to a lot of omakases in SF and this is by far my favorite by miles. They're accomodating in every way and the presentation was worthy of a Michelin star. I would say most nigiri in fine dining restaurants are fresh but every. Single. Filler course here was a hit too. I liked some better than the fish itself! Their menu changes seasonally but I cannot recommend their whitefish enough.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
