We checked out Ari Sushi after spending the day at Emerald Glen park. The food was delicious and the ambiance was inviting and modern. There are a few banchan dishes next to the utensils. The prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants that serve sushi. It is definitely one of our favorites sushi restaurants in the Tri-valley.

I came here for the sushi and stay for their tendon, which is tempura rice bowl. Their tempura is super crunchy and not dry at all and served with a complimenting house-made sauce. I'd love to have the sauce on the side to dip my tempura in so that it stays crispy longer. They also offer a variety of fish for nigiri/sashimi. Their fish are fresh and nicely cut. I love the Full Plate Omakase where I get a little bit of everything. If you dine in, you also get complimentary soup, salad, and sorbet; this's why I keep coming back. Recommend: Softshell Crab Tendon, Full Plate, Tropical Mango, Hamachi Bay, Hwe Dub Bap

We loved this place since it was close to home and the complementary items were super good. I have never enjoyed a complementary salad as much as this one, and the ice cream scoop is wonderful as well. My partner and I also loved their tropical sushi options. The lady is also wonderful and always treat you with kindness, and so are the cooks. However, today (08/14/25 07:20 PM) we had one of their male servers call both of us “chubby”. I think it’s weird for a food service guy to comment on other people’s body. It made us uncomfortable and it left a sour taste on our mouths. Sad but we won’t be coming back. It’s 2025, stop commenting on other peoples bodies. We know.

I have traveled all over the place eating at different sushi places within the Bay area and this is solidly, one of the best. If not the best, I have returned to this place countless times and I'm always amazed at the quality. And the flavors in the atmosphere

The food quality was nice and the atmosphere was good. Our service was very poor though. Was served a tempura roll instead of the soft shell crab roll that we ordered. When we pointed it out to them they tried to claim I was mistaken. I ended up eating it, but that left sour taste in my mouth. Whether it’s a miscommunication between the front and kitchen or something else it doesn’t matter. That should have been taken care of better. Also there was ants in our soy sauce trays.

I love Ari Sushi! I eat here at least once a week! The staff is so friendly and the food is always incredible! This place never disappoints!
Loved this place! The service was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food was delicious — everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The sushi rolls were big and definitely worth it. Great spot if you’re craving Japanese food. Will definitely be coming back!

I rarely post the review, but I did a lunch take out today, I ordered online with price $84, but when I pick up, they showed me the in-Store menu, saying I have to pay $15 to cover the extra cost that are not show up in the online menu. I was in a hurry and did not double check the online menu again, but after I went back to home, I found this out.
This is totally dishonest, highly not recommended!
The food is ok, it does not match up to high price I paid, very disappointed.

I liked this place when it first opened, but I feel like quality has gone down.
I ordered a lunch set to go ($16 w/ tax) and I was surprised when it didn't come with rice. I even called to confirm and they said rice only comes with the bentos??? Why would I order chicken katsu without rice? If I went to other Japanese places for lunch sets, they normally come with rice.
Anyway, I'm disappointed. I'll go somewhere else next time for lunch.
