Pretty plating and fresh fish. Special menu varies daily. My partner and I went all out for a Monday dinner to celebrate my new job. Worth every penny ?
Under-rated japanese restaurant. This is your "close to home cooking" type of food. You would wish you could have it every day.As many have highlighted, the ambiance is great! The color scheme is easy on the eyes. There are plenty of decor to keep your mind occupied while you wait for food.The main dining area can roughly occupy 30 max. That's smaller than most sushi restaurants. Luckily, they have an outdoor dining option that started at the height of covid. My first visit here was because my wife and I really needed quality time outside of the house at that time, and they were able to provide that experience. The impromptu outdoor patio still looks like in need of improvement, but it kept them going through the hardest part of covid. And I'm glad they're still around.Fried dishes are crisp. Raw fish have their distinct taste individually and do not just taste "fishy."The unagi don came with a sunny-side up fried egg, sweetened by the unagi sauce, and also seasoned with furikake.The Sashimi 15-piece they served us came in a decorative stand and had a bonsai tree with it. Much more impressive than a sushi boat or any plate.Of the times visited, I've been surprised by their food's taste and quality. I would definitely recommend coming here. But don't crowd or flock. Parking is very limited and is relative to their capacity.Enjoy!
This is Chinese/Japanese, usually like a more "authentic" place but this place is real good. Bento box beef teriyaki had a sour taste for the sauce not really what I expect from teriyaki sauce but it was okay. Everything else we're good.
This was exactly what I was looking for.The food is excellent. Lots of great flavors and textures going on here. Good sized portions too.Very nice crunchy texture on the tempura. Stayed crunchy even as it cooled. Good variety of shrimp and veggies.The chicken teriyaki was marinated so the flavor was all through the meat. Moist on the inside, nicely seared on the outside. A big portion makes it a great main dish for the bento.The side salad was even made of real greens, not just iceberg lettuce. House dressing was enough to cover the salad but not smother it and leave the bottom half swimming in dressing. Actually a nice refreshing side.The ramen tastes as good as it looks. They will adjust the spiciness if the broth to your taste or leave it out entirely. Topping are great. I always appreciate a perfect medium boiled egg.No complaints whatsoever. I wanted some delicious Japanese food and that is exactly what I got. Everything was beautifully cooked and seasoned. I was very happy with my meal.I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Japanese cuisine. I will be back for sure.
Pretty good restaurant for being in San Leandro. The rolls and sushi were good. dont get the bento.
Awesome selection of sushi. Cute little space. Pretty good service too. You could c9ne here for a solid month and have something different each time. So many options
I ordered the Big Island roll. It has mango, salmon, smoked tuna, avocado, and macadamia nut. It was so delicious. My friends ordered a bento box and a kamikaze roll. I tried the chicken and a kamikaze roll and both were great as well. I'll definitely bring my fiancé here for date night at some point. It did get busy while we were eating and they only had one server, which was a bit of a wait, but the service was friendly and the food made up for the delay in getting our checks.
Let me tell you about this restaurant. I will go over the pros firstThe ambiance and set up is great. Led lights, tvs, dishes, cooking area, and painting style. Looks great. Parking was easy and great location. And that's all it's got going.Cons. We got our salad and soup fast. Then after 2 of my rolls of 3. And my brother beef and chicken teriyaki. But the last roll took 20 plus mins to get to us. A communication should of happen on the time. The design on the 3rd roll is beautiful and amazing. But, that's all it's good for. The roll was over cooked and didn't tell you what was in it. Just stating. Mix fish. Just give explanation of what fish. That's a misleading thing there.The rolls were ok but something you get at Safeway sadly. And my brothers chicken and beef teriyaki. Was bland and seem like they just threw salt and pepper. And overdid it on the teriyaki sauce.Overall it's a good ambience and good staff. The two things that they can approve on to make it better is there food quality and the communication to customers of if time will take on a roll to be made and they can surely make it up to a five-star restaurant.
Great service and the sushi was so fresh! I got the nigiri salmon and toro. Delicious!
Excellent hand rolls! Extremely fresh. Widest variety of cooked components in rolls that I have seen. Some of the best ginger I've had.
