- DDjouka VIPSacramento / Sacramento Valley •7 reviews5.0Dined on 22 Dec 2024We were in San Francisco celebrating our 10th anniversary and decided to have some sushi. After much searching, I found this restaurant, which had great reviews. From the moment we arrived until we left, the service was exceptional. We were greeted with a happy anniversary card and some champagne. The food was delicious, and our waitress was amazing. We truly enjoyed our dining experience, and we will definitely come back.More infoPabu Izakaya San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Financial District / Embarcadero•4.4
