I attached a photo of the inside of the building to capture the vibe. Both my wife and I had a great time eating here. I got the 8-piece Sashimi sampler and enjoyed all the pieces, but strongly recommend the salmon. Would overall recommend it if you are looking for sushi place with a chill Oakland vibe.
I’m honestly very surprised by the positive reviews, because our experience was the complete opposite. The food was not fresh and extremely disappointing. We ordered the fried chicken, curry fries, curry rice, and croquettes none of it was good. The fries tasted like basic frozen fries, the croquettes had no real flavor or interest, and the curry was bland and underwhelming. The fried chicken also didn’t feel freshly made everything tasted like it had been reheated and served lukewarm. On top of that, the staff was disorganized, and more concerning: we clearly mentioned a shellfish allergy, yet we were still served curry containing shellfish. That’s not just careless, it’s unsafe. Overall, this was a big contradiction compared to the reviews we had read beforehand. Based on our experience, I would not recommend eating here. Save yourself the disappointment
Fantastic dinner. We got the shrimp skewers, moriawase sashimi and uni udon. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Very tasty, highly recommend this spot!!
