Welcome to
Elephant Sushi
Elephant Sushi is the lovechild of Elena. First opened in 2012 on Russian Hill, it is known for innovative sushi and sashimi dishes such as Himalayan trout (New Zealand ocean trout cured and served on a slab of Himalayan rock salt) , “yummy pockets” (tofu skin stuffed with spicy scallops), and “beastie boys” nigiri (nigiri with uni, quail egg, and monkfish liver).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a reservation as a member?
To make a reservation, simply text your dedicated concierge phone number at least one hour in advance. Please note, we may not be able to guarantee priority walk-ins or reservations for requests with less than one hour notice.
How do House Accounts and house credits work?
Your membership includes credits that can be used for all on-site purchases at Elephant Sushi. We will be tracking these credits in your dedicated House Account. Any purchases during your visit will be deducted from your house account.
When you use up all of your credits, any amount that goes over will be charged to your payment method on file — no need to take out your card at Elephant Sushi again! Feel free to keep using your House Account after you run out of credits. Credits will be topped-up every time your membership renews.
Any credits you have remaining will roll over and will not expire as long as you hold an active membership.
Please note, at this time, your House Account can only be used at Elephant Sushi Hayes Valley, 400 Grove St, San Francisco.
Can I still use my house account if I want to split the bill?
Yes! Just let our staff know that you would like to split your bill and have your portion paid for using your house account. We'll be able to take care of that for you.
Is it possible to temporarily pause my membership?
Yes, we know things come up sometimes and you may need to take a break. You can skip an upcoming renewal through your member portal.
What should I do if I need to cancel?
You can cancel at any time by accessing the "My Membership" section of your member portal.
If you choose to cancel your membership, you will still have access to member benefits and your house account until the end of the current billing period. Please plan to use any remaining credits during this time because any unused credits after your final billing period will no longer be accessible.
