15 Best Japanese Restaurants in Alameda

“Every roll was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming and attentive.
In the end they offered me plum wine but I asked for ice cream and they accommodated.
I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Tempura, so crispy. Miso cod, sake toro. I also would like to to recommend the different tastings like the nigiri tasting, the sashimi tasting and also the salmon tasting. They also have raw oysters presented in Japanese style, so good.“

“Very good meal, service was great, I'll definitely be back.“

“At Utzutzu, you can find a top-notch omakase experience. We’ve visited this restaurant four times, and every visit has been exceptional. The service is always warm and attentive, and the sashimi is incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. We have never been disappointed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable omakase experience!“

“First time here and probably last time too. I hella liked how the inside was decorated reminded me of a restaurant in Japan. Kinda disappointed though. I hella love sushi. But the sushi selection was small. Nothing caught my eye. The only thing I did enjoy with my meal was the ikura. The waitress’s don’t even check up on you to see how your doing. We we’re seated all the way in the back. I asked for more water and it never came. And for those 2 reasons I won’t come back.“

“Marugame is very good udon and fast! We ordered udon dinner time around 6 and still got our food and table quickly. The portions are generous and the 6 dollar bowl of udon is plenty to fill on. There are a variety of warm tempura sides as well; my croquette was delicious, soft, and importantly still hot. This is our go-to place at least once a week.“

“This is our go-to ramen sushi restaurant!! It has delicious ramen,and something I love about the sushi is that they but a very very
thin layer of wasabi between the fish and rice on nigiri (or seaweed and rice on rolls) and it really brings out the taste of the toppings! The atmosphere is really nice, they have anime wallpaper and food videos playing!“

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police“

“best egg rolls and gyoza! I wish we could find teriyaki this good in WA“

“Super yummy and always fresh fish“

“Amazing sushi with a beautiful view of the bay! Everything was incredibly fresh, delicious, and very filling. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the waterfront view made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 🍣🌅“

“I remember going to another branch and having a really delicious meal.Came here and found it!!!I was happy to go in and have lunch.I feel like this place tastes even better!!!Please come here two or three times♡Healing time after a long time?“

“The scallops are delicious. If you order a spicy California Roll they just put a dot of some kind of hot sauce on the top of each one instead if mixing the spices with the crab.“

“First time dining in at this place that replaces a previous Chinese Vietnamese restaurant that we used to frequent.

It’s almost like a ghost kitchen in the sense that they have Japanese food (Sachi sushi) and dim sum (Yue Club) operating under a joint name of Saga Kitchen.

The sashimi was alright, though they gave us a bonus of a tuna belly which was delicious.

Sabro plate - ground beef and scrambled egg was not what we were looking for. The ground beef lacked any taste as it felt like straight up ground beef. So not something we would order again. Got it with Ebi tempura but it tasted like those frozen shrimp tempura - know it since I have taste palate that has allowed me to differentiate them, and food sensitivity to also differentiate fresh water from salt water shrimp - theirs is certainly fresh water.

Char shu ramen was delicious. Noodles had a slight chewy texture and the soup was tasty. The charshu, and poached eggs were right on and delicious.

Tonkatsu was ok. A little on the drier side compared to our favorite Tonkatsu places.

The cool robot food runner was fun and entertaining for the kids.

The fabric seats were discomforting as there’s just so much stains on it that it felt nasty seating on it - we changed immediately when we got home.“

“El arroz frito está delicioso y sus vegetales 🥒!!“
