Local popular choice for sushi, Ebisu in the Sunset has gone full-tilt on the remodel, and gutted the entire restaurant. They are now gunning for a reopening at the end of January. It is also nearly 90% final that Ebisu will be opening a third location in the Financial District. The new location will be more of a lunch place and will be the home for all of Ebisu’s catering.

• 1283 9th Ave. at Lincoln, 415-566-1770.

More sushi news: the second Tsunami location that’s opening in Mission Bay will be called, appropriately enough, Tsunami Mission Bay. The opening is currently slated for January, and will be similar to the Fulton Street Tsunami in its sushi and extensive sake offering. A new addition is a huge bar with a communal table, and will feature a number of gin cocktails (over 40 gin offerings in all), in addition to other spirits, plus a nice selection of hard-to-find spirits. Cocktails will range from $6–$9.

• 302 King St. at 4th St.
