Sushi Rock (1608 Polk at Clay; 614 Pine at Grant) offers more than a dozen creative rolls, many with names that don't seem to logically correlate with its ingredients. For example, neither we nor our server have the ability to tell you why the chefs have named a shrimp tempura roll topped with avocado, tobiko, and banana slices the Sweet 16 ($14.95). We do know for sure that it has an interesting taste that might split your table: While we find the banana to be a subtle and sweet component that doesn't overpower everything else, our dining companion on a recent visit contorted her face in absolute displeasure at its inclusion.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
