   A hidden gem amongst the giants of San Francisco, Hinata quietly shines with its presentation of the season’s fish and makes it mark as a great staple spot without breaking the bank for omakase.

   Chef Tulga was helpful in highlighting some of his favorite fish, the order to eat the dishes, and telling me more about ingredients I was trying to discern from the tofu appetizer – the broth inside swept away the bitterness in such a clean manner. One of my favorite dishes of the night had to be the sawara (King Mackarel) smoked in applewood. The taste took me back to memories of my childhood having bacon and ham at the breakfast table.

2. Looks 10/10. That hand roll at the end 🤤

4. Nice selection! Kinme-dai and kamasu are good stuff; always a treat when you get the harder-to-find things in an omakase course.

5. Shredded tuna is so delicious 🤤

6. Pretty good price also.
