Good sushi restaurant. Price is fair. Sashimi is fresh good size.
Phenomenal! So fresh and yummy. Great prices and friendly staff. And the spicy Tuna roll is actually really spicy! I LOVE IT

Pretty much my go to Japanese in CV. Quality fish and food, with decent service and speed overall. Parking isn't great though. Either street parking right out front, or a tiny lot behind.
Had dinner at Kotomi(take out) it was a great meal love the Bento box,plus there California rolls are the best,yes I would refer family and friends to have a meal, dine in or take out.
I had an early dinner here Sat. This is my "go to" sushi-place in CV. I also like I-Sushi but it's a bit more expensive and a much smaller place to eat.Food is always good, and the fish is usually very fresh/safe. I had the dinner bento box (which is an excellent value at $18). I also usually get the spider roll ($10.95) but I wasn't that hungry tonight). I picked the chicken teriyaki and the 6-pc. sashimi (2pc of: maguro, salmon and hamachi). It's a nicely optioned bento box (lunch is good too). The hamachi tasted funny (not fresh). It was probably cut wrong and/or wasn't the freshest. I was fine (did not get sick). But it was the 1st time (of numerous times I've eaten here) that the fish wasn't completely fresh. Maybe also because of the way the hamachi was cut (slightly more/thicker skin)? Another item I noticed was, I hardly got any wasabi/ginger. My CA roll (within the box) had a very small dab of wasabi and a few pcs. of ginger and my sashimi had none (which is strange, you usually get a liberal hill of wasabi and a nice helping of ginger). I didn't ask about it but I should have. I suspect they might have been very low/availability on both the wasabi and the ginger.Service is always good and this visit was no exception. Parking is still an issue. My recommendation, is parking across the street (at the mini golf) and walking across CV Blvd. to Koyomi. This has been my best solution to the limited parking in the front of the restaurant. Trying to find the parking in the back is extremely difficult.
Tried out Koyomi tonight and ordered sashimi and a couple of rolls (Rainbow, Raiders). Really fresh and tender fish! I highly recommend Koyomi and will definitely return. If you like rolls, try Raiders!
Food is average. Nothing memorable or outstanding that you have to go back. Lunch Specials are only during Tu - Fri only 11 - 2:30. Portions are decent. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick and efficient.Kid Friendly - there is a kids menu. However no diaper changing table in the restrooms. Parking lot in the back. Accessibility friendly.
Quality of sushi was wonderful. I will definitely go back. If you haven't tried it. I definitely recommend you do real soon.
Koyomi is our go-to Japanese restaurant in Castro Valley. This is actually another gem in our small town. I have to admit, I ignored this place for a long time because we have other favoriteJapanese restaurants we go to until the pandemic happened.We ordered online and it did not disappoint. The portions of sashimi cuts are generous, cooked food are also good. My favorite here is the sashimi salad but everything we order from this place are actually good! We ordered almost regularly since our first order and wehave dined in a few times when dine in was allowed. This place is always busy with take-out orders and the last time we dined in which was just a few days ago, it was full so this is an indicator that they have good food. The staff are always pleasant as well.Give this place a try. You will not regret it.
