sQwers japanese restaurant

WOW WOW WOW!!! I seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about Sqwers. This was my first time at Sqwers and it definitely won’t be my last. The food is amazing, fresh, and it comes out so quickly. The staff are all so kind and add to the dining experience. The owner Simon has a heart of absolute gold! We came in for a birthday dinner and he went above and beyond to keep both our bellies and cups full all night long! He was constantly checking in on our tables, sharing laughs, and drinks, truly making this dining experience unique. He treats everyone like a part of his family, saying hello and welcome back and thank you to all costumers who walked through the door. If you have the pleasure of dining here, you won’t be disappointed!

Been coming very often after moving to SF. Food is incredible for the price but the service is beyond amazing. Super friendly staffs and the whole restaurant has a family like vibe to it. Hats off to Lee and the team. Truly a local gem.

We found this place while we were in the area and gave it a shot. The food was very good. We really enjoyed the food and our time here. Very friendly staff. We prefer the sushi over the ramen in here. We look forward to coming back.

Average Japanese food. But what an amazing server. Always saying I love you and super energetic. He was this like 5 foot 6 Asian man. Love that guy. Super funny, asking if we wanted more beer and sake. You could tell he was just happy to be there and always have a good attitude. I even saw some people come in and give him a hug. Don’t come here for the food, come here for the Asian server. The food is good, to be fair but I thought the experience was totally worth it. If I ever come back and that man is not there, I will be very sad. Definitely recommend.

Sqwers is one of San Francisco’s true neighborhood gems. I’ve been coming here since they first opened, and being just around the corner from me, it has become a real extension of my daily life. What makes Sqwers so special isn’t just the food (which is excellent and consistently so), it’s the people. You see it in the way Simon, Lee, and the rest of the team engage with guests — not in a scripted, transactional way, but with genuine warmth and humor. They make you feel like your being there is something they actually look forward to. Add in spontaneous sake shots, easy laughter, and familiar faces, and it’s the kind of place that quietly becomes part of your community. The menu is reliably delicious. I’ve tried just about everything over the years, but I always come back to the sushi ro
