Really high quality sushi with simple design. Price is pretty hefty but the rolls are really good especially the eel and rainbow rolls. A bit of a wait if you arrive right as they open. Recommend ordering the rolls and the short ribs. Squid is okay, shrimp skewers are not worth it. The terrayaki salmon is pretty good, and the katsus are all definitely very crispy but I would order raw fish if I were here as that is definitely their specialty.

Come here if you want fresh sushi. The black cod robata was so delicious! The kids enjoyed their tempura and katsu dinners. The katsu was on the lean side so it was a bit tough. Bring cash if you can. They charge an additional 4% if you pay with a credit card.

We came for a late dinner. It was packed but everyone was still super warm and welcoming. Our server and hostess were so nice. The sushi and sous chefs were amazing and went above and beyond at the end of the night. We had the chawan mushi, gyoza, uni, tsukemono, sukiyaki, and beef katsu, and a taste of the tamago. Everything was superb and full of flavor. Eat in and make sure you try the tamago. You won’t regret it.

Kevin Flynn

I can’t think of a better sushi restaurant in the East Bay. Note: California roll is made from real crab NOT Krab (or imitation crab made from fish mashed into a paste) which is served in every other sushi restaurant I’ve eaten at.

Sheena Lakhotia

This is a very quaint and cozy restaurant and the food is fresh and delicious. They don’t vary the menu too much, which I prefer because I know I will be able to order my favorites.

Mickell Lethco

Really fresh food with quality preparation. We loved everything we tried. Definitely pricey for the quantity though. Service was fast and polite.

Mike Yang

My family had enjoyed a dinner together on Saturday evening when we took my college boy back to town for Fall semester. As a typical traditional Japanese restaurant (but in bright atmosphere), you would have to order your food dish by dish with various selections of Nigiri, grilled meat skewers and seafood, soup and cold dish vege, sushi rolls and sake/drinks. We do like most of their foods ordered, price is reasonable (ended up for about $50 per person), service is prompt although restaurant is pretty much packed. You would like to come early and line up before they open, they open at 5:30PM daily and they don’t take reservation.

Guillermo Herrera

Phenomenal food… If/when it got to the table. Just offer servers more money so that more will want to work there you’re Michelin Star Rated, pay your staff like it. Also, toss in a few soft things to dampen the sound; could barely hear conversation at the table

annemarie

The best and most authentic Japanese restaurant in the East Bay!! Their hamachi is melt in your mouth delicious. The cooked cod is amazing. And even their California rolls are great (normally I don’t like them at restaurants because they taste fake – here they were soo fresh). Want to try everything on their menu!!!

Dei Garcia

Good spot for sushi, it gets very hectic and there’s little space when it gets busy so id say call in advance. I’m so happy they had natto because most restaurants don’t! I liked all my dishes so not much to say except props to the chef. We were waiting almost an hour after an order mishap but they were kind enough to not charge us for one of the rolls. I’d recommend this place for parties since I saw some birthday celebrations going on and they sing along with you. May or may not come back, probably with more people since it’s hard to get a table for one or two.
