“Everything I ordered was great and the prices were reasonable. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because they do not sell regular shrimp. The only shrimp they sell is coconut shrimp, and I'm allergic to coconut. It would've been awesome to have a fish and shrimp combo, even if I had to pay for the shrimp separately.“
“This sushi restaurant has some of the best sashimi in the Tri Valley. The staff are extremely friendly and it sort of a small town diner vibe with lots of regulars and friendly smiles upon entering. There are a couple of very interest specialty rolls and other sushi specialties that are worth trying, and their happy hour specials on beer are hard to pass up.“
“I’ve been to many Sushi restaurants in Dublin, so far Nara Sushi is the best overall from the food quality, portions, pricing, authenticity and atmosphere.The service was excellent. I ordered Nara roll, Tiger roll and Regular 9pc Nigiri. All food was excellent and fresh!Also we got to try Ebi Tempura, Fried Oyster and Takoyaki as appetizers, no complaint all good. Right now they have special Spicy Tuna toro Gunkan (tuna belly fatty) that was full of flavor!One more thing, they have very good Unagi Bowl and Whe du Bap. Try them all you won’t regret :)“
“Food was excellent. When they say spicy: you better believe it, but not in a bad way. Just keep in mind that spicy actually means spicy here. Service was fine. It was busy and our server was dealing with coworkers who appeared to just be standing around, so she did the best with what she had. Will definitely go back, the grilled edamame was incredible too.“
“We love this place! Getting a poke bowl here is our main motivation to go to the premium outlet! It’s a 50 minute drive for us but we make sure to stop and eat there regardless of time of the day. The ingredients are way more fresh than the poke bowls we had in south bay, they have more topping options, miso soup os great, and the price is fair.“
“This place is delicious!!!! I got the unagi meal and some rolls. Clearly a small family business. They remembered my order from the last time I visited over a month ago. Instead of going to a chain, please think about supporting you local small business.“
“The food is not bad, especially the yakitori. They have a couple vegetarian options, however, the skewers come with the meat and not in a separate plate. We have to order again to make sure it’s not touching meat. They also have vegan roll. The meat ones are on the expansive side but taste may not meet the expectation.“
“AMAZING quality, a clean ambiance, great service and family friendly. We came for lunch and the rolls we ordered were delicious and the sushi/fish was all so so fresh. The staff was ever so warm, inviting and attentive -- we had a 2 year old with us so eating out can become a thing, but their kiddo friendly options were a hit and the staff checked in on us frequently and never made us feel like "that" family. My two year old had a California roll (real crab, little bits of cucumber and generous avo!), udon noodles and he even killed my miso soup side. We're hoping to come back here for a date night (beautiful interior) to try out some other items from their menu and what looks to be a very generously stocked bar and drink options. Thank you, Kinja!“
“Honestly some of the best Japanese food I've had in the Bay Area. Everything is fairly priced and portions are large, sushi was very tasty and super diverse menu. Great service and clean place. Nothing to complain about, if you're craving Japanese food in the San Ramon area, this is the spot.“
“I heard that this place opened recently, which is about 1.5 years now. The place looks alright since that’s how a Japanese restaurant typically looks like especially if it’s small.I was quite surprised how big the serving size is from the Chicken Teriyaki dinner plate (didn’t finish it). No wonder it’s expensive. The food tastes fresh and nice, but I honestly believe that they should lessen the salt of the edamame. Also like the taste of sashimi and California Roll.“
“Pleasantly surprised! For whatever reason I had never tried Akira before. I'm so glad I finally have. I met up with a couple of friends and we enjoyed drinks and shared a bunch of sushi. There are lots of options on the menu and everything we tried was tasty and super fresh! We were chatting so much that we closed the place down. This might seem random, but I was so impressed by the extensive cleaning they did at the end of the night. This alone will have me frequenting Akira from now on.“
“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!“
“I thought it was seaweed sushi, but it was literally a piece of pocket sushi, like a rice ball. Although it was less than the average American food, it was full and tasty. The amount was just right for me.It felt a bit expensive for the price, but it was a light and satisfying meal.“
“Food and service were above expectations! The menu has plenty of options and our group ordered almost everything lol.. Love this place.! Everyone was so nice and said goodbye on our way out as if we were family. I will most definitely be coming back.!“
“Our party of 19 ate here the night after Christmas. Yo's on Hartz is such a nice and intimate place to eat. The manager, Evelyn, made sure our large party was well taken care of and gave excellent meal recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails. We look forward to dining here again!“
“Wow!!! I ordered the salmon avocado roll and the dragon roll. Compared to MJ sushi which is a block away, they give you so much more for a similar price. Good quality sushi and they also give you complimentary miso soup and salad which has a lot more ingredients than your average sushi place. Highly recommend this place is my new go to sushi place!“
“Located in the Blackhawk shopping center, next to the Safeway. This is an outstanding late night Japanese restaurant, specializing in high quality sushi rolls. I highly recommend their Deluxe hand roll: Uni, otoro, shiso leaf, ikura. They also feature House special rolls, and we tried their CB roll: salmon avocado, and fresh maguro tuna! Loved their high quality seafood and warm sushi rice. Sushi nigiri portions were large, generous cuts. I loved their otoro, hamachi, and ama ebi. Extremely fresh and delicious!“
“Came here in search of vegetarian sushi and was super impressed. Not a sushi person, but dining here changed my mind about sushi. We tried Green Machine & Little Island - both amazing.The Matcha Pannacotta was okayish. Also tried the cauliflower but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.Look forward to coming back here.“
“Honestly, the food here is amazing! I've ordered multiple things from the menu and yet I have not been disappointed. My favorite rolls so far are the Kibo, Hartz, Salmon Skin hand roll and Isabel!! Isabel, Hartz & Salmon skin hand-roll are my top 3 favorites. For the appetizer, I really enjoy the garlic edamame!! If you're a garlic girl like I am, you should definitely give it a try. The gyozas and mixed tempura are a hit as well!! For rice plates, I really enjoy the chicken teriyaki. I usually never order chicken teriyaki at restaurants but oh man this one is soooo good. I really like the salad and pickled vegetables that come with it.“
“No frills good solid sushi place. Mid price sushi place with fresh fish and generous portions. No unusual fish or higher end varieties. Order from counter and they bring food to table. That is the extent of service. Dining room looks like a diner from any town USA. Mariachi band music was playing when I was there.“
“For over 25 years SOZO has been our favorite sushi place. The food is excellent and the selection is considerable. Service is with a great staff. O matter your in a table, booth or sushi bar, you get great food and a wonderful meal. Try and you will love it.Vegetarian options: Great selectionDietary restrictions: Will accommodateParking: Plenty to use“

“Second time in two months. Love this place. Tonight having the teriyaki tofu with soup, salad, and rice. Cubes of silky tofu on a bed of lettuce and shredded cabbage with vegetables. The vegetable tempura appetizer plate was perfect and lasted only a few minutes. Partner had the cherry blossom. Yummy! Great service. VERY clean restaurant. Tucked away in the corner of strip mall near the Round Table Pizza. Dining area in back big enough for a team lunch or dinner“
“Came back as its been awhile. Still consistent whether bento box or sushi. My fav bento is chicken teriyaki, tempura and CA roll. That was satisfying. The sushi roll was good. Just be ready to be patient as they are short staffed. Sushi chefs busy as the two older ladies are hosting, taking orders, etc. Service is pretty much order as soon as they come as one other woman she just walked by when we arrived. And the other ladies are hustling.“
“We love this place! The food never disappoints! A bit pricey, but well worth it my opinion! Small inside, wouldn't accommodate a large group. We always order the gyoza & lion king wrap (in a double size). We've also ordered the sushi bakes before as well, and they too were delicious! Definitely recommend eating here!“
“The goal was to go get some Thai food, but we stumbled upon this Sushi spot. before I go in, I had to look up the reviews and the reviews were 4.5 so I went in for a try. Upon entry I was immediately greeted by the entire staff everyone speaks and acknowledges you upon entry and departure. So of course, I always have to try something different, so I found something different which was grilled edamame I don't know how to explain this, but it was fabulous & flavorful I had to order another one. I did order some Sushi which was fresh and tasty as well. I definitely recommend this establishment if you're in the area looking for Sushi. There are a lot of big box restaurants in the area, but nothing beats the mom & pops small establishment, AWESOME.“
“Really good poke, lots of options for how you want it and the fish is fresh with solid portions. Can be pricey though- a large bowl alone can be like $25 with tip. Funny atmosphere to be eating Hawaiian originating dish to some Bad Bunny at a mall where every minute someone is walking in demanding to eat their food they bought somewhere else in the seating area. Just a bit of a wacky atmosphere to recommend you eating in the mall lol“
“Really good food, everything tasted great, super clean and spacious. The Gyoza was delicious. But unfortunately the customer service wasn’t good at all, I didn’t get his name but he’s a heavier set waiter and everything about him was just rude towards us. His demeanor, the service (never checked on us had to ask another waiter multiple times, I asked if he could show me where I can find cooked sushi rolls and just said “it’s in there” regardless it’s unfortunate that bad customer service can impact all the other great qualities this restaurant has to offer. I really hope next time the service is different.Kid-friendliness: The price for the kids Bento box was great! And the amount was perfect!“
“Absolutely love this sushi restaurant! Haven't been in a while because I no longer live near, but I was a loyal customer here for years. Their sashimi is fresh and delicious. More importantly, they have some of the best rolls in the area. The thing I would say they are best known for is exceptional sauces. If you love a good sushi roll that doesn't require soy and wasabi, this is the place to go. Their roll menu is inventive, fun, and delicious. They also have great bento boxes and the bar is more than adequate. The staff at this restaurant give it a local downhome diner sort of vibe, and it's a great place to bring the family.“
“This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Pleasanton. I like to eat here for lunch, it is not crowded and has a good selection of fresh fish. I always go for some nigiri, I love the Uni w/ Quail Egg, Aji, Kanpachi, Tamago, and Maguro. The Red Mountain Roll is my favorite, I also like the Four Seasons and Salmon Lover. I would highly recommend trying this place if you are in the area. The staff here is great and very friendly.“
“I keep coming back to Satomi when craving sea food. My experience has been great and consistent. I’m please with the freshness and quality of fish served here. I appreciate the effort behind preparing these delicacy’s. My experience is inspired by the Thornton Location in Fremont Ca.“
“It's a very popular place in Fremont, love their sushi and their special rolls. The staff are nice and friendly but unfortunately, it's very busy at weekends and ordering food for pickup takes at least an hour since they don't have enough staff for all the orders.I recommend Dragon, Crazy and Tokyo rolls“
“Bit of a mixed review here. I would say this is a combination of a three and five star review. The five star goes to the food. They have some of the best sashimi in the area: the salmon is as buttery as you can get, and I cannot recommend their sashimi plates enough. If you go here, go here with that purpose and you will not be disappointed. The three stars goes to service. Over time, we managed to get a regular server and she would give us pretty good service. However, it took a while to get there. I'm not sure if the restaurant is just perpetually understaffed, or if there is some other issue going on, but we've gone half an hour without speaking to someone before. It was at that point where you are ready to get up and walk out when we finally saw a server.“
“My first time here for lunch. A two-item combo plate is reasonably priced. I ordered sashimi with teriyaki salmon. The three slices of sashimi were salmon, tuna and yellowtail. Yellowtail had a dallop of ground ginger/garlic which greatly enhanced the taste. I found it amazing that the chef paid attention to such small portion of a lunch. My friend who ordered Hamachi Kama said the portion was the largest she ever seen in the area. It was delicious, too.“
“Came here for the first time with my husband and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish! It was very fresh and sashimi portions were large and nigiri well made. The restaurant is really small and seems family owned and the chef and staff are all very nice and welcoming. Food was definitely authentic Japanese and the sushi/sashimi is worth the quality you are getting. I will definitely be back to try other items on their menu. Don't pass on this small hidden gem and grab some fresh sashimi/nigiri“
“I liked the white modern interior design. I enjoyed the glass noodle appetizer. I got the salmon jaw really enjoyed it. The fish was juicy. Someone in my group got the omakase and they said that the rice was a little dry. Everyone else who got tendons really enjoyed them. I liked how we had a water pitcher and a ?barley? tea pitcher at the table so that we could serve ourselves. My party also liked how there were pickled vegetables dishes at the table that we could help ourselves to.“
