The quality of the food at Tancho is exceptional, yet the price won’t break the bank. The restaurant itself is elegant and intimate, with a traditional Japanese decor and a peaceful ambiance. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, and they strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for their guests.

What a wonderful experience it was to have dined here! Service was excellent, the food was delicious and fresh, and the atmosphere was great. One of my favorite omakase restaurants that I’ve tried. And the price is reasonable compared to others in the Bay Area.

A super traditional omakase experience. Only 3 tables and the bar. The only decisions you’ll make are what you drink. Exquisite execution. A special occasion place. Best sushi in the East Bay?

Tancho is a hidden gem that serves the best edomae style omakase in the East Bay. On multiple visits we’ve always enjoyed excellent service, food, and drinks. For the quality, pricing is reasonable relative to what you’ll find in SF or the Peninsula.

This is an amazing discovery. Fantastic food quality perfect and sometimes innovative presentation. The type of place you would eat at in San Francisco but spend twice as much. Definitely recommend.

I would say it the it worth the price. The quality of the food is good. Uni is sweet and creamy. Blue fin tuna is tender and fresh and it melts in the mouth. The fish is fresh. Considering the price and the quality, Tancho is the best. I would like to revisit the restaurant again.

An excellent gem in the East Bay. Fantastic staff, ambience, and food that will be bringing me back whenever I can find someone to go with me. This is what going out to eat is all about.

I can say without a doubt that Tancho reaches my top 2 spot for favorite restaurants. They have unmatched levels of personal service and attention to detail that honestly sets the standard for high end fine dining experience. Sunny and his crew – chef Jason, Wilson (seasonal washoku chef), and Nagai (seasonal chef, Jason’s mentor) have all been an absolute delight to meet and to be served by.

I knew they were still in the soft opening phase, so I requested if they can do a custom takeout order for my husband’s birthday. They were very accommodating and friendly. We were impressed by the quality of their fish, especially tuna. This will definitely be our go to place without driving hours into the SF city to have an decent omakase experience. Can’t wait to join their service in person! 🙂
