Incredible sushi, locally owned by a sweet couple. Big portions for the price! It’s more than just “conveyor belt sushi” - a must visit if you like sushi in Oakland!
They stop adding things to the conveyor about an hour before close. Which means the raw seafood will continue to cycle there just as long if not longer until people eat it. The servers took a long time to get us a simple order like sake, side salad, water. I had to cancel some items because they took so long and we had to go. They clearly forgot the items i ordered. The food had me go straight to the bathroom in the restaurant, Food went thru me that fast and my intestines remained inflamed about 2 days after. I dont know what it was in the restaurant that caused it. But its started there. This was the first time I've been here in over 10 years and it is not the same. Maybe earlier times are safer.
Consistently excellent rolls, large and diverse menu, warm service. Mama-san is always polite, accommodating, and welcoming. This is one of my top sushi picks for Oakland!
This place doesn't have amazing sushi, but the boats are great fun. Sadly, they are often empty, and the staff pressure you to order off the menu. If I wanted to order sushi off a menu, I would go to a different sushi place: the entire appeal of this spot is the boats! Put sushi on the boats! I deducted stars for atmosphere just because there's so many people who bring their kids here and let them behave like absolute demons. That's not really the staff's fault as such, but the absence of parenting does affect the atmosphere. Come late!
UPDATE: Good as always, our 4th time and the lady that is always there and always take care of us with a lot of attention made all perfect, thank you thank you, we will always go back!!! In my honest opinion, is the best Sushi in the bay area, I do sushi and I love a good sushi, vut is really hard to find one, at this place we ask all on the pictures and was really good! It was thick and fresh the rolls, the Niguiri and everything! I definitely recommend this place!!! Congratulations also for the asian lady that served our table, she was kind and friendly with us, thank you so much!
