Chef is young with lot of room to improve. Excited to see how he develops his style in the years to come. Will note, the less common fish they serve are generally less common for a reason - usually a bit worse than their more popular brethren. But sometimes you’ll get fun stuff like budai

Extraordinary experience - lovely staff and unbelievable quality in an intimate setting. Not quite sure how I'll go back to any other sushi... Grateful that a restaurant of this quality has found a home in Oakland.

This is hands down one of the best meals I've had in Oakland and possibly the Bay Area, the phenomenal, the quality of the seafood and the sake were outstanding, and this is right in my own neighborhood is mind blowing. Worth every cent. Particularly worth calling out, the Aji (Horse Mackerel) and Temaki Toro/Negitoro (Tuna Handroll), also as mentioned in other reviews the Ice Cream was unreal, I'd but it by the pint.

It’s a one of a kind omakase experience. Sushi Salon sources a majority of his fish from a famous fish concierge in Japan that not only has rare fishes unknown to many, but also uses a specific technique to delay rigor mortis! It makes a difference! If you are a sushi fan and want to try something other than salmon and hamachi, you’ll discover more yummy dishes. Definitely a hidden a gem in Oakland!

An astonishing 18-course omakase, expertly prepared, sourced in the finest sushi chef tradition of impeccable quality. Warm and comfortable welcome with a happy-to-share chef who told us stories about his choices in making what has to be one of the finest Japanese experiences stateside. Tiny space, superbly arranged. I cannot recommend it enough. Not cheap but value for money if you struggle to “have something you’ve never had anywhere else” (and don’t want the 9+ hour Tokyo flight).
