California roll topped with spicy tuna, tobiko, unagi sauce. Pre fixe dinner
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
This roll wasn’t very creative with its standard components, but I liked the flavors nonetheless. It’s not very authentic, but spicy tuna is always a safe bet (especially is if there’s any doubt in the freshness of the fish, not that Barracuda uses bad fish).
Women kissing sidewalk stencil, Castro.
Wow, this was really tasty! I loved the texture of the snapper and the subtle sauce with grated daikon were perfect components to compliment the delicate flavor of the fish. The presentation was also very clean and pretty. Pre fixe dinner

I love good, fresh sashimi and it’s pretty decent at Barracuda. It’s not the best cuts ever, but they’re good quality and they taste great!
Edamame.
Served with jalapeno ponzu and sweet daikon ponzu sauce. Pre fixe dinner
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love fried Japanese appetizers especially dipped in salty ponzu. The problem is that they’re usually on the small side and there’s never enough. Feed my belly! 🙂
Miso soup.
Crab meat, mango, avocado, gobo (burdock) covered with lightly torched, thinly sliced kobe beef, seasoned with sesame oil and green onions. $12.95
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
This rolls sounds amazing and it was actually very tasty, but I think that there was WAY too many things packed inside. I really couldn’t taste many of the ingredients individually and forgot that some of them were even in there. The beef was the dominant flavor and it was a little on the salty side. The roll was good but I probably wouldn’t order it again.

Spicy bloody mary with vodka and special house made bloody mary mix, garnished with lemon and cucumber. $8
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
This bloody mary was pretty good. It could have used a little more spice for my taste but it had a lot of flavor and substance.

Red Dragon: Unagi tempura and cucumber roll topped with spicy tuna, tomato, jalapeno, spicy miso sauce and tobiko-garlic chips. $14.95
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
The rolls at Barracuda are always pretty tasty and large, but you’d expect that at this above-average price point. I do like that they offer plenty of fried (tempura) roll options for my fat-craving self, lol! Their flavor combinations are also inventive and varied.
Standard makimono with tuna, cucumber, and scallop. Happy hour $3 each
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
Three bucks per roll – score! I also like how they put the “spicy” sauce on top of the scallop roll instead of mixing it with the chopped scallops. Not the best rolls I’ve eaten, but definitely a great value!
Mosaic snake sculpture, 24th and York Street Mini Park. I’m surprised how clean this snake stays considering how many kids must climb it on a daily basis! It look super cool!
3 tacos – lime cured izumidai (tilapia), diced ahi tuna, and ebi with wonton shells. Happy hour $5
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these were very good. Although the food at Barracuda isn’t traditional Japanese, I do like their flavors, service, and convenience. You really can’t beat their happy hour prices either!

4-piece Japanese pork dumplings with jalapeno ponzu sauce. Happy hour $4
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
Noms, gyoza are one of my favorites! The warm crispy wrapper and yummy pork filling taste lovey when soaked in the ponzu sauce. Yes, please!
Crazy bishop angel sidewalk stencil, Osage Street. I don’t actually know what this is a stencil of, but it looks cool!
Montery baby squid tempura with sriracha aioli. Happy hour $5
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
These were good – perhaps a little greasy, but they had a nice flavor from the batter. And I like the taste and slight heat of the sriracha aioli.
A-OK hand signal sidewalk stencil, Guerrero Street. It always amazes me how many different stencils there are in this city!
Soy beans sauteed with shoyu, sesame oil and togarashi. Happy hour $4
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
These weren’t very spicy, but they were definitely flavorful! The togarashi (dried chili pepper seasoning) added a yummy flavor and texture on the outside of the edamame.
Jungle themed mural artwork, 24th and York Street Mini Park. I wouldn’t want to be the person who painted the the top of the mural on the right. That’s three stories up!
