48 Best Sushi Bars near Castro Valley

“This is my 3rd omakase experience (once in Japan) and each has been different but all wonderful. Tancho is a small restaurant hidden in a shopping plaza in Castro Valley where there’s plenty of parking in the evenings. The Maple Bar seats seven and worth the extra money as you get to see Chef Jason prepare each delicacy and you get a couple extra courses that you don’t get sitting at the table (behind the bar). A party of four with a bottle of Dessai 23 ran us a little over $1k. It’s a great place to go for an anniversary or birthday. We’ll be back soon 😊“

“One of our go-to places with super friendly staff which always goes the extra mile to make us feel welcomed, seen and appreciated.

The Food - especially their Dinner Special - is great, portion sizes just right, different options and still assembled and delivered to the table within minutes of ordering. And both Nigiri and Sashimi have sizable chunks of Fish and well prepared!

Kid-friendliness: Servers interact wonderfully with the kids, recommending suitable food and engaging with them in conversations. There are often families with Kids here, a testament to their appeal.“

“Great service. The Staff is always friendly and polite. Best sushi in Town.“

“Excellent food … excellent service“

“Simply the best sushi around. Incredibly fresh fish, gorgeously prepared nigiri and if preferred, there are specialty rolls that hit just right. We’ve been coming here for years and are so so thankful we have a high end, quality sushi spot here in CV!“

“Little mom and pop shop. Serves up some awesome Black Garlic Ramen and Tempura.

Tempura with light batter, crispy and crunchy. Just perfect.

Grilled whole squid was a little over cooked and tougher than my preference.

Ramen noodles was al dente, tonkatsu broth was flavorful and not overly salty like most places.

Servers was surprisingly nice, especially in a crowd Asian joint.

Complimentary tint portion of Edamame and Sorbet was refreshing.“

“Good quality sushi, and sashimi. Already tastes good without wasabi and soy sauce. Our server was excellent. The restaurant is small, only good for group up to 4 people. The only thing I didn't like is they provided the bill to you after you finished your meal. It made me feel that they want us to leave now. If they have customers waiting, I understand that, but they are not busy at that time.“

“I love Angry Fish. I've been coming here since the day it opened. The food is always awesome! I love the oysters ($1.50) delicious! Must have apps Spicy Garlic Edamame & the Angry Crush appetizer. Also they have many amazing specialty rolls but by far my favorite is the Angry Mermaid. Oh my gosh it's like an explosion of flavors & it brings me JOY! LOL! The staff is super sweet especially the managers Vincent and Jackie they are identical twins, you will never tell them apart... I don't care how many years you been going there LOL. And Michael he's a sweetheart and always treats us like vip. But I think they treat everyone like VIP? it's a special place. The owner puts heart and soul into the food he's serving and I appreciate that. I will never stop going there.

Parking: Huge Lot right in back

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“The sushi here is seriously good - fresh ingredients, creative rolls you won’t find anywhere else. The Fuji Roll? Absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, even if the vibe inside feels a bit cramped and could use a deeper clean. It’s a small spot, so I’d recommend takeout or delivery over dining in. For the quality of food though, it’s worth it.“

“A lot of choices to make your own Poke Bowl at affordable price. You cannot go wrong. it was my bf and I'm first time to try it there and know regret at all. Highly recommended. 👍“

“My partner and I live closeby, been to a lot of sushi restaurants but this has got to be one of the best ones. Don’t let the slow traffic fool you, this place is a hidden gem for us. As much as we want to tell our friends about it, we don’t want them to discover this place and make it busy.

We usually order the polo bowl, karaage, veggie caterpillar roll, chicken bento, and ocean roll.

Great date place, great pickup for eating at home. Highly recommend. Also Jeanette is really nice :)“

“Been a long time since I dined here and forgot how good everything was. From the garlic edamame to the variety of rolls we tried...all were delicious! They have a smaller, but nice patio for outdoor seating.



Parking: Dinner time is also workout time for the gym next door...so parking can be a little tough.“

“Everything was great!
The good and service were over the top.
There were 14 of us and the waitress managed all of our requests without any mishaps.
We gave her a really good tip in addition to the gratuity as she definitely deserved it.
I highly recommend Sachi Such to whomever enjoys good sushi and or Japanese cuisine.

Kid-friendliness: Very attentive and patient with a very calm inviting personality
Offered high chair and boosters“

“The food was great and the staff was really nice“

“Good food 🍱 best services“

“Excellent service and good fresh food clean environment!“

“We're always greeted with a combination of welcome back and or nice to see you again. The service is as good as the food. The fish is as fresh as if it was caught only hours before. We've been working our way through those fantastic rolls. Shelby and The Titanic are amazing. Anyway, please patronize our local businesses. So many small businesses didn't make it through the Pandemic and its so sad to see the stores closed up. Go enjoy wonderful food and equally good service from some very talented people.“

“Great place with delicious food and a nice interior. There weren’t many people (lunchtime), and only a few tables were occupied. We had a reservation, but for some reason, we still had to wait about 20 minutes while our table sat empty—kind of strange. Other than that, everything was great!“

“The oakland hill roll was surprisingly good. We mostly ordered bento. One was shrimp tempura and katsu bento. We came here to celebrate a birthday for a party of 8 and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They even let us bring cakes and they also helped us light the candle on it. It was a sunny and hot day and we were surprised that they didn't have an AC but the customer service is very good. Will definitely come back.

Parking: Parking space is just behind & beside the store.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible. Store is on a single level building.“

“Friendly staff, pleasant ambiance, fresh seafood“

“Best sushi for cheap around“

“I tried their Poki Bowl and was very happy with it. The ingredients were very fresh and the portions were big. The one thing I really loved about this place was the friendly service. They lady taking my order was a bundle of happiness. I will definitely be going back here again.“

“Very clean, excellent menu with very creative rolls. The nigiri 🍣 sushi is fresh and the best I’ve had to date. Personable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Japanese beers are on point, cold and priced right. This a “locals favorite” which feels very welcoming and the freshness will be bringing me back. Cheers!“

“niceplace and the fish is every fresh“

“Satomi - Thornton. Went here around 2pm Saturday. No wait and got our food and drinks right away. Fast friendly service. We ordered Tempura mixed, Satomi roll, Japanese cowboy, Spicy crunchy, and Fremont. All orders were flavorful and fresh.“

“Everything is fresh. Very nice presentation.“

“Stopped by for lunch at 2pm and plenty of seating inside. I used the self order kiosk on the table, which made ordering a breeze. The sushi rolls came out in about 8-10 minutes and they were huge rolls.

I typically eat two, but I coule barely finish these. They were incredibly filling and each roll was less than $12, which is a great deal in 2024. Service was excellentand I really enjoyed the meal. I get work done on my car across the street often, so i'll be stopping by whenever i'm in the area from now on.

Parking: It seems like there are about 12 or so spots, but also plenty of parjing along E.14th in front of the restaurant, as well as the side street which crosses it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of access for wheelchairs.“

“I hardly ever leave reviews but I stopped by here today for my second time and I have to say this will be my go to when I'm passing through hayward. I absolutely love their bento boxes I normally don't ever get beef teriyaki but this place did not disappoint. The portion sizes are really big compared to most places I've gone to plus you can't beat the prices super reasonable. The fish was super fresh especially the tuna. Even my toddler loved it. Thank you again for serving us we will be back again.“

“We had a great experience the food is fresh and the steak is tender the salmon was just right. Your recommendation is forwarded to Facebook“

“Simply the best in Fremont“

“BEST TERIYAKI CHICKEN!! Great food! Great service!“

“A cozy restaurant owned by a sweet Japanese couple who have been making sushi for decades. Very authentic and delicious Japanese food. Sad that they’re closing to retire.“

“Well balance diet. Lots of vegetables. 1scope of rice and No MSG in the food & soup. Meat is plenty. What else can you expect from a takeout. NO MSG is the BEST you can get these years. Lots of Asian run restaurants are using MSG, intensively.Way to go !!!!!!!!“

“This place is amazing. Some of the best Japanese food around. Favorite dishes: karage, blue Hawaii, and the caterpillar rolll. I'm definitely interested in trying their vegetable tempura. I kept seeing people order it, and it looks special.“

“We’ve been eating here for years, and the fish is always fresh and expertly prepared. We especially love the Fire Cracker Ball, Joy Roll, and Spicy Geisha Roll. Additionally, the staff is exceedingly kind. A great place to dine in or take out.“

“A wonderful sushi experience from start to finish! The service was impeccable—our server was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations without being pushy. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The rolls had a perfect balance of textures, and the sashimi was incredibly tender. The ambiance was calm and stylish, with warm lighting and minimalist decor that created a cozy and intimate setting. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing, delicious sushi meal. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“I went here with my wife because we were craving sushi. We managed to find this spot and decided to try it out. Overall, the food was good and the price was pretty good for the quality of the sushi. My wife had some hand rolls, and they were tasty. The service was great, the servers were pleasant and accommodating, they gave us free ice cream. Ambience wise, it's pretty basic and nothing spectacular, but that's okay with me. I would go back and recommend it to anyone if you're looking to support a mom and pop shop that provides good sushi at a reasonable price.“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Decent price“

“Thank you Evie and all the staff for making our boys grad night dinner so special!! If you have not tried this place out you need too!! Amazing suchi and yummy Tao Tacos!!“

“Great food - flavors and freshness, host was funny and extremely kid friendly. My 4yo thanked me for the best chicken rice(ordered a teriyaki chicken shrimp combo) he had. We ordered one wrap, liked it so much that we ordered 2nd one!
It's a casual, small and clean place.“

“I called and ordered a roll to go-the Storm roll. It was delicious, and the finest quality and freshness! The owners were there, and the place looks extremely cute inside and also has outside seating. I had never been here before, but will be coming back soon. Very good sushi!“

“Recently moved to Hayward from Fremont, and was asked to give this recommendation a try. I was really impressed with the quality of their seafood and the speed of service. The staff were all very nice and welcoming, which is major in the food industry.

Started off with the Omakase box, pork belly skewers, miso soup, gyudon, potstickers, and chicken karaage. Everything was a hit! My favorite had to be the pork belly. I'm not sure what the sauce was, but it's was sticky, sweet, and delicious.

I ended my order with a few other rolls that were extremely satisfying. Everything ordered was shared family style, and we were beyond stuffed. $200+ for a group of 4, with all the food we ordered, is a steal compared to full menu restaurants.“

“It's small, so the wait for a dine in table can take a bit, but the food quality is worth the wait. Our family has loved everything we have tried. this is one of a handful of local restaurants my 10 year old some will never complain about!“

“I have been coming here for almost 14 years. And I would not change this japanese restaurant for another. Ambiance, food price, friendliness the taste of the food is wonderful. Like my mom always says : bueno, bonito y barata. Good, wonderful, comfortable prices. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“This is a local authentic sushi place. Chef is friendly and good listener if you have special inquiries. Sushi are freshly made to order with generous portions.
Good varieties of sushi, nigiri and sashimi plus non-sushi items. Ask staff for veggie options but some are clear through menu.
Place is clean and organized with responsive waiter.
Atmosphere is good for groups, meetup, seniors (flat floor) and small parties. Will return for orange spicy salmon (Netscreen) roll.

Vegetarian options: Veggie options available. Check with staff.

Parking: Free and paid street parkings“

“Low key, family-run sushi spot out in the burbs. I usually get sashimi or one of the rolls. Now if you want to throw caution to the wind, get the roll called "I don't know". It's chef's choice, and it depends on the ingredients on hand that day. Sometimes it's great, sometimes less so. Regardless, the portion is always generous, and it's always a surprise.“

“I've visited this restaurant numerous times at varying hours. Even though the restaurant may be busy during peak hours, the staff is always friendly and courteous. The food is consistently delicious and served in a reasonable amount of time.

Parking: Spaces may be limited....shared parking with other businesses.“

“It was the best sushi! We will be back!“
