24 Best Sushi Bars near Castro Valley

“Tancho is an intimate and cozy dining experience in a discreet location with excellent food and service. Chef Jason did an amazing job for our party seated at the bar. There is an extensive drink and sake menu with great non-alcoholic options as well.

This is a reservation only restaurant which helps keep the seating number small. The atmosphere was great with very pretty interior design and the light jazz adds to the ambience.

Out of the entire omakase menu my favorite items were the kegami uni don (hairy crab mixed with uni over rice topped with ikura and shiso blooms), akami zuki (lean bluefin tuna), and anago (conger eel). The fish were all extremely fresh with no fishy smell or taste. Some items are specified if they have just arrived that day, and the aoyagi (surf clam) was still moving when it was brought out to the chef. The premium Hokkaido uni was also delicious.

A surprisingly delicious aspect of the meal was the rice, which was preseasoned for every course. It was constantly freshly made and hot which made each piece of nigiri perfect. As an FYI, at Tancho the nigiri is encouraged to be held with your hands rather than with chopsticks.

Overall Tancho is a hidden gem in Castro Valley and a great place to go for special occasions. They served our party very well for my mother's birthday and were kind enough to include a special dessert and card for her. We will be going back again soon!

Dietary restrictions: Before the meal begins you will be asked about dietary restrictions. The rice is pre seasoned with soy sauce (I think) for those with gluten allergy.

For those with kids or people who cannot eat raw fish, they will torch the fish ahead of time for you if you write it on the reservation, but it will not be fully cooked.“

“I hesitate to really share about this place because it is such a gem. It's a great little unassuming neighborhood place. I feel like it is my treasure. It is always pristine and the food consistently really good. I get the bento box with salmon teriyaki. My kids key the nigiri and are always eat every bit . . . Even my daughter who is super particular“

“Genghix Asian Fusion has been always one of my favorite restaurants to share a good meal with family or friends“

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

“I checked out this Marketplace in Castro Valley for the first time and I'm impressed with the cleanliness of it and the variety of foods/desserts they offer. For lunch, I ordered the Dragon and Lion King rolls, and i love it so much coz they put "real" crab meat and not imitation crab. Also, the service is great! I'll definitely be back!“

“I moved to the east bay recently and this has been the best dine in experience I’ve had so far.

Their lunch menu is hard to beat. I got a bento and two rolls. In the bento, I got chicken katsu and teriyaki steak. I ordered the steak medium rare, it came out on the rarer side but I loved every bit of it. Super tender and juicy. They served me a complimentary side of edamame and ice cream with my meal.

The kick is: Along with the purchase, they’ll give you a stamp for every $10 you spend and once you’ve collected a bunch, they’ll take off $10 from your bill. Literally cannot beat this place.

It will be busy on a weekend so come prepared!!“

“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.

“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.“

“Very we’ll prepared fresh fish, innovative rolls, great service“

“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.“

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

“I strictly went to this place based on the reviews pulled up. Yes it’s in a questionable place kind a little small older building but the food that they put out of there is ridiculous. Such an amazing job. I could tell once I walked in the place that everything is fresh and amazing Would definitely come back. I’m saving this spot.“

“Sachi Sushi has the best food in the world. The service is great. My husband and I look forward to our Titanic and Golden Rolls. We also like the crab on top. It melts in our mouths. We definitely recommend Sachi Sushi's delicious food!“

“Excellent service and good fresh food clean environment!“

“Friendly staff, pleasant ambiance, fresh seafood“

“Sushi was so good! I was happily surprised by how good the rice was in the sushi roll. The table was super sticky though and the ambiance of the restaurant isn't great, but the service was very attentive and again this food was so tasty..“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have found a new sushi restaurant in Kakui. The Warriors and Rainbow rolls are fresh and delicious. Check it out.“

“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.
