“Best sushi I’ve had in the east bay!!! The fish is extremely fresh & sashimi pieces are generous. Happy hour prices can’t be beat! My favorite sushi restaurant by far!“

“🎉🎂♎️ October 2025: Shabu- Shabu at Shabu King, Dublin 🥢🍲💕

This is an All You Can Eat Japanese Hotpot! The broth was delicious! I got the Tonkotsu Broth. The soup was tasty, but I added some crab and shrimp to enhance the flavor. They also have kimchi and sweet radish cubes that I love. For dessert, we had the fried sesame balls which came out hot and delicious!

Great attentive service from the staff. A great variety of delicious add-ons from the buffet bar. Great selection of sauces as well.
The meat was fresh! I would come back again when I'm in the area!“

“love it here! good food. staff is nice“

“Absolutely loved Mad for Sushi! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The all you can eat menu was packed with fresh and delicious options. Every roll was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The appetizers, sashimi were all included and just as good as the sushi. The service was fast and super friendly; the staff made sure we were happy and our plates were never empty. The atmosphere was vibrant and clean—a great place for a casual night out or a special occasion. We left full and satisfied! Highly recommended for sushi lovers!“

“I recently visited Hana Japan with my family, and we had a blast! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was so welcoming. Our chef was super entertaining, showcasing impressive skills while cooking everything to perfection. I loved how interactive the whole experience felt, and the flavors were incredibly vibrant! This is more than just a meal; it's what a Japanese steak house should be. Definitely coming back!“

“My daughter and I love this place...not just the food, but the restaurant atmosphere and staff as well. We come here once a month after school pick up and sit at the sushi bar in the early afternoon...the chef is great and the atmosphere is fun, and if that wasn't enough there the portions are fantastic, too...“

“Good food, friendly service, fun times. But when your table is done, move your crew along so others can also enjoy it!! We waited extensively even with a reservation. It stresses the staff and the system and prevents the restaurant from serving more patrons!“

“A good place to taste Korean and Japanese cuisine with a twist.“

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

“Place is clean, staff is helpful and had pleasant, smiling faces. Sushi was amazing. They have good vegetarian options. At the end of our meal they gave us green tea ice cream. It was on the house and it was delicious.

I'll definitely go back.“

“Just wrapped up an early dinner at Taro Sushi and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We ordered the eight-piece sashimi, the Prospect Roll, and the Katsu—and every single dish was excellent. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and beautifully plated, the Prospect Roll had the perfect balance of texture and flavor, and the Katsu was crispy, juicy, and comforting.

Service was warm and attentive, and the whole vibe of the restaurant felt relaxed and family-friendly—perfect for an early evening out.
Taro is a gem in Danville. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent quality healthy and authentic Japanese food at affordable prices. Service is fast (usually 10-15 minutes wait, but sometimes only 5!) And the place is very clean.

Very good spot for a date, or lunch/dinner with your parents. Also a great everyday lunch spot. I try to eat here once a week at least - when I need a healthy meal Asian style.

My favorite is the miso soup and side salad, add a rice and it's under $10. There are many food options in the $10-15 range for a full meal. My favorite soup is the vegetable udon noodle soup. I also like that they have soda pop available with no artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup, so I can enjoy a soda sometimes without feeling too guilty about it.

The sushi is also great, and the teriyaki dishes yummy.

Best overall restaurant for healthy Asian food that isn't expensive and you can eat here any day, their open for business hours are consistent.“

“One of the tastiest ramen I have had in my life!

5 year update: I am a vegetarian, and I still maintain my original rating. There are only two vegetarian selections, but it's enough. It's quality over quantity, which matters.
I am a regular here, I go there once a week, of I can manage it.“

“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“

“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!“

“What I liked most about this place was the atmosphere and the green tea. We ordered the Traditional Paitan Ramen with Bone Marrow, Nori Agedashi Tofu, and Chicken Karaage. We really enjoyed the ramen dish, and the Chicken Karaage was okay, but we didn’t like the Nori Agedashi Tofu at all.“

“美味及有創意的食品 棒!“

“This place is a relatively new discovery and I'm so glad we tried it. We've been twice now and both times the sushi rolls were delicious. I appreciate the good size of the specialty rolls and not as expensive as other places. It makes sushi night an option more often.

The server was great also, we enjoyed talking with her about Japan both times we've visited.“

“Excellent cuisine and service. A definite “must-dine” gem in Pleasanton. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Highly recommend Yokohama Sushi! 👍“

“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.“

“My family and I love the food! Great place to eat at lunch! I ordered the chicken and shrimp bento box! Very filling! 😋“

“Very impressed. I'm a bit of a sushi connoisseur. I travel for work and usually find the highest rated sushi restaurant in each town I visit. While this wasn't the highest rated, it was walking distance from my hotel and convenience won out. I wasn't expecting much from a strip mall sushi restaurant, but the quality ended up being on par with some of the higher-end places I've been to. The fish was very fresh with generous portions on the nigiri. The chef and hostess were both very friendly. I didn't eat inside but the place looked very clean and decorated well. Prices were very fair, especially considering this is the bay area.

I'm only in town one more day but I will definitely try to return. Highly recommended.“

“Ordered the Lion King sushi as an appetizer along with two soups to share 🍣🥢. One soup size was larger than the other. The sushi was tasty, and the soups were great for sharing 🍲. It also came
With white rice and small portions of pickled veggies. My favorite was the pickled zucchini. I really enjoyed the cozy booth seating, plus the background music and concert videos playing in the background 🎶🎥. A great touch. Service was attentive and there was plenty of parking.“

“Chose to come here on a spontaneous Wednesday night and ordered the nigiri and sashimi boat for our table of 3. We could see the chefs carefully crafting the boat while we enjoyed some of their appetizers. Food and service was amazing!! One of the servers saw us playing a game on our phones and striked up a conversation with us, he was so incredible friendly. Will definitely come back again!!“

“This staple of the San Ramon food culture is still incredible. The service is fast, friendly, and accurate. The food (appetizers, rolls, and nigiri/sashimi) are fresh, delicious and prepared with care. The location is convenient and there’s plenty of parking. I will continue to happily give this place my business, and if you’re looking for the best sushi place in the whole area, you’ve found it. 10/10 will definitely go again.“

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