A small chirashi bowl with fewer than 10 pieces of sashimi costs $30, the same as the Unagi Don. While both dishes tasted good, they were on the expensive side. Salmon and Hirame nigiris are about the average.

There was a weird five spice seasoning all over the sushi roll that overpowered everything… literally all I could taste. I have never seen this stuff on sushi. Don’t know what they were thinking. The agedashi tofu was delicious though.

I've been coming here since it opened years ago and it's one of my all time favorite spots. It's not my every-day sushi pick, it's my "I want the good stuff" spot. The fish is incredible quality. I typically get the chirashi because it's a great way to get a sample of some of their great fish, including some you may not typically get at other restaurants, plus they often include some of their incredibly tasty pickled veg and some shiso. This place is so good they make my least favorite things (Ikura) taste incredible. My partner got me their omakase for my birthday one year and it's still one of my absolute favorite birthday dinners. And while the price is by no means cheap, it's also not overpriced. Many lesser quality restaurants charge the same price for substantially inferior fish. I just love this place so much, the charming ambiance, the delectable fish, and the sweet and speedy staff. Everything about it is top tier. Truly a gem of north Berkeley.
Editing to add I was there the same night as "Dan potash" and yeah, it was a loud group, but it's a small place. The vibe is mostly pretty chill and the ambiance is usually pleasant. I would not begrudge the restaurant forever for an unexpectedly boisterous group of diners ONE time.

I live in the neighborhood and have come here a few times over the years. I usually enjoy it, but my last time was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. It was so loud that not only could none of us hear a word anybody was saying, but I seriously thought that my ears were gonna start bleeding. Rather than seating, a large, boisterous party right in the middle of the restaurant they should seriously think about moving them off to the side so that the rest of us can enjoy ourselves. I won’t be back.

Average food, terrible service. A waitress went outside and ABUSED us since we didn't give a tip over 10%. We don’t usually do the math. Rather, we'll just round up the last digital to 0 as it's easier to visualize, like giving 50 instead of 45, or 120 instead of 106, so sometimes it might be somewhat higher/lower than 10%. We later figured out that we gave 9%, so that's literally 1 dollar difference. If you really want the money, then you should note this on your menu & make it as a rule so that everyone can follow. If you make it voluntary, then you shouldn't complain about it, even INSULTED customers who don't do that because that's your choice, and you're supposed to accept it! We've visited a lot of restaurants with the requirement, and they just put a statement on their menu, like "we charge an 18% of service fee." And we always follow the rules!Plus, the waitress even said, "We now recognize you." SO WHAT? Are you trying to terrify us? Do you come from a gangdom? Are you going to spy us or even crime? That's so rude & ridiculous! Don't come unless you want to be horrified by such a beggar!

Chef Jin is a true sushi master, and it shows in each handcrafted splendor served at Kamado. I’ve been dining here since the year they opened and can say unequivocally this is my favorite sushi spot in the bay!

Meh. The flavors were a bit odd. Just not good enough for the prices paid.

This is a small cozy restaurant that is ideal for smaller parties. My husband and I dropped in for dinner and it did not disappoint. Fish was fresh and my favorite was the fresh seaweed salad. Rolls and sushi were meticulously prepared.

Mackerel Sushi This is the first time I've ever had anything that doesn't smell like this. Tempura Laudon was delicious with too much fries. The spicy scallop roll and tuna roll were also delicious.

Appreciate the kind staff recommendations, peaceful and low-key ambience. Really like this place!
