Yip on Godzilla Sushi
Godzila Sushi * 1800 Divisadero @ Bush * San Francisco, CA 94115 * (415) 931-1773
Cuisine: Sushi
Neighborhood: Pacific Heights
The Scene
Not much of one. Space is small and there is zero waiting area. You are on top of the other sushi-loving patrons if you wait inside, so go on a nice night and wait out on the corner until a spot opens up. There are only about 10 tables and a small sushi bar. For the boys not interested sharing in the double-date girlie conversation about mani/pedis and the latest must have denim, some sort of sporting event is usually showing on the tube. They also have "Godzilla" movie posters all over the place. Natch.
The Menu
They have all the usual sushi delights, and I think they have teriyaki meals too (though I never order this at a sushi place). Nigiri is good as well as the usual rolls. Miso soup, edamame, seaweed salad ... you know the drill. Nothing too original. I ythink you will find, however, it is a good value for the price.
The Food
A no brainer - the specials are the freshest thing in the house, written on small boards behind and adjacent to the sushi bar.
The Service
They are efficient, but short. Don't expect to get a long passionate description of the menu from the wait staff. Ask for the freshest and that's what you'll get. And that's all you want anyway. They are also superb on filling and refilling your cup of green tea. I doubt it will go empty the whole meal.
The Bathroom
Not exactly pristine in cleanliness, could use a good scrub down, and seems more like a bathroom for the kitchen staff than for the patrons. However, there are these very cute framed hand drawn cartoons (they look like they were on cocktail napkins) all about Godzilla. I think they are adorable, so they extra points for that.
*************
In a spoonful, fish is good. Middle of the line on atmosphere as far as sushi joints go (most are big on hip atmosphere with low-grade fish, others are highly authentic cuisine with no ambiance whatsoever). Bathrooms are worth a visit for the giggle. Since the space is small, if you're dining with a large group, pick another place - perhaps Solstice across the way for fun drinks and eclectic apps.
Yip gives it 3.5 spoons.

Godzilla is the perfect neighborhood place to get good quality sushi at "grab a bite" prices and not feel uncomfortable about showing up in post gym comfy clothes. And I love the Godzilla art!
