We had a 7pm reservations on Tuesday evening and didn’t get seated until 7:30pm. Very unorganized. Service is horrible, we felt ignored and dismissed. However food quality is exceptional.

Dropped by during a Sunday. We were seated fast as we got there just as they opened.
We found the service to be good. However we also found the place to be a bit more pricey than expected. The dishes were seasoned well.
Overall a sold 3 star place.

Really cute place and the waitress was amazing. However the food was not as good. We love unagi, and actually only came here due to them being one of the only places to carry anago (conger eel). They used very very little sauce on it unfortunately, and had a much fisher taste than I'd experienced previously, my standards may be a bit high since I was introduced in Japan though. The regular unagi was ok, but not any better than that. They also used a lot of sesame seeds on both eels, which is pretty atypical since the taste isnt really complimentary flavors. The waitress was amazing and the interior was moody and romantic, perfect for a date.

Greatest restaurant to bless alamedas sacred soils. So delicious I could feel the tears swell up in my eyes. Waki forever.

This is hands down our favorite sushi spot in Alameda—my husband and I come here weekly, and it never disappoints. The restaurant is always clean, the staff are consistently friendly, and the service is top-notch.
If you happened to notice a dip in service last week, it was likely due to the recent departure of one of our favorite waitresses, Ariel. We’re truly sad to see her go. That said, Mike continues to hold down the fort with his usual warmth and attentiveness—he always makes sure our water glasses are full and checks in to see if we need anything else.
The two sushi chefs behind the bar are phenomenal. Their creations are beautifully presented on elegant wooden boards, and the quality is outstanding. We love everything on the menu, but a few standouts for us are the Nora tacos, lamb chops, and all the nigiri.
Five stars, every time. Highly recommended!

We live in SF and are willing to drive over the bridge every time because this place is that good! The Tempura Veggies, Hamachi Crudo, to all the rolls. Everything is divine

Great spot with a great menu. I ordered the venus roll and Madai nigiri. I would’ve also ordered Kurodai nigiri but at the time they didn’t have it in that day. Great service and I’ll be letting others know about this spot!

Beautiful attention to details and cooking technique. Loved the ambiance. As former Tempura Chef who trained under a Kyoto Kaisen Chef, this is best tempura I’ve had in the East Bay so far. Also the best sushi in Alameda so far.
