Been awhile since we've been here but fantastic omakase spot. Book farther in advance to get a reservation
This review is for my Jan 2025 visit.
While there are several excellent omakase restaurants in SF, The Shota is the only one left with a Michelin star. It's located in the Financial District and has a sleek, modern decor in white tones. The atmosphere is nice and intimate. Special m

The food was incredible and the service was above and beyond. Nice atmosphere, a perfect spot for a date (just went for valentine's day and they gave my date and I a little card with a polaroid picture us). Hands down my favorite sushi place

Context: sushi is my favorite food and I've eaten at many of the best places in New York, California, and Japan. The shota is priced very high - as a very premier tier 1 spot, but it under delivers on that price point / expectation.

Worst experience!!!!!!!! I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Its location next to a club means loud music from the club overpowers what should be a calm and enjoyable dining atmosphere. On top of that, the chef's approach felt u

It was a little confusing finding The Shota, but once we got inside, we were pleasantly surprised. We had excellent service and wonderful food! Everything was crafted with so much detail! I think this is the best omakase service I've ever had!
Recently I dined at the bar in The Shota.
I'm Korean, but my companions were non-Koreans, so I don't think the staff knew I could understand what they were saying... First of all, the food was incredible. I'd say the best sushi I've ever had in the U.S.! However, the chef
Great food, amazing service, but location could be better.
This place shares a building with other businesses which could impact your experience. The restaurant also does not have its own bathroom so you have to use a common bathroom outside which cheapens the experience. Food wise, ingredients were fresh a

I was so excited to come here and celebrate my birthday last year! Seating is at the bar only, and the entire meal is an interactive experience where you see them create all of your small plates. Some dishes were winners, and some not so much... I st
Amazing food, service and people.
Highly recommend this place for a special occasion.
Connect with users posting reservations for The Shota San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Shota San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Shota San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Shota San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at The Shota San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Shota San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
