"This review is difficult for me to write, as I have known the owners of this restaurant for nearly 20 years. I first visited the establishment when I moved to the area in 2002, but stopped going after some incidents with bad service around 2010. The company started hiring younger servers who didn't seem to understand customer service, which was disappointing. I continued to visit, adjusting my expectations, but eventually stopped going altogether due to the underwhelming service. When I returned in 2022, I decided to give Good Choice Sushi another chance and was pleasantly surprised by the good service and sushi. Unfortunately, my positive experience was short-lived. The most disappointing aspect was the lack of a proper manager, with the leadership apparently being left to the Sushi Church, whose members were rude and unprofessional. The final straw came when I visited on a sushi roll night with only 2 servers, resulting in long waits and unacceptably slow service. Despite being a regular patron who always tipped well, I was ignored by the server and sushi cook, leading me to finally give up on Good Choice Sushi. Many locals who share my experience ask ironically, "Good Choice? Is that it?" I am sorry to say that this restaurant is not a good choice. I have given them multiple chances to improve, but unfortunately, they have not lived up to expectations."

"Great value, descent taste and quick, friendly service!They have an unusual combination in lunch specials: Udon with salmon sashimi bowl. I also added spicy miso broth to udon for $1 extra. Spicy and miso are also a surprise, but the taste was very smooth. The bowl of rice is covered with a dozen or so salmon stripes, cut smaller than your typical sashimi but still has enough meat to fill me up. The salmon tastes rich and fresh, just what I expected. At a total of under $11, that’s a steal. I also ordered a side of edamame with garlic sauce, another surprise considering most restaurants serve edamame sides plain. My entire meal costed $15 and odds, and was so fulfilling I couldn’t eat dinner.I entered the restaurant after 2pm on a Sunday. The orders came very quickly. With three waitresses and at least one waiter, I expect orders to be equally fast on weekdays if you can get a seat. The space is really small, I think they have less than a dozen tables that barely seat four each. Decoration is light yet themed. (The Japanese name suggests ghost, so there are monsters on the wall. There is even a hint of Godzilla although I do not see it in display.)Update: I have since come here several times with my daughter and have not been disappointed. This is surprisingly close to the Golden Gate Park.All in all, this is a great place to eat if you come to that area."
