Extremely disappointed in this restaurant. I booked 40 hours before the booking, and my partner caught Covid, I informed the restaurant immediately and they still charged us $200, $100 per person. Even though there were plenty of free seats remaining. Would you rather we came and risked the health of fellow diners and your staff? It's crazy. I will be reporting to the better business Bureau and the Department of Environmental Health.

Best Omakase experience I have ever had. Every single bite was incredible. Aki-San is warm and kind and funny and shares great stories. Cannot wait to go back.

This place is so worth it. My family has been going for 10+ years, almost since the beginning of the restaurant when it was in a different location. Aki-San will tell you when you’re eating something wrong, but it’s not mean-spirited. You should definitely ask him about his life and his journey to becoming a sushi chef. The sushi is the best you will ever have, even better than sushi I had when I visited Japan. It may be very expensive, but if you have the means it is extremely worth the price. Don’t ask for specific things, get what he recommends (but don’t be scared if you have diet restrictions to ask for something that works). Is is an amazing experience so if you go really enjoy it.

Aki San is a culinary artist. He has been a chef for more than 40 years (47years according to him). $150 omakase is such a good deal for the sushi he made (and his knowledge). I can not say this restaurant has the best omakase in the whole Bay Area, but at least it’s the best in east bay. Please come in and have a try before he retires.

Yes there is still a ton of space left, but the point of this is a wonderfully intimate experience (only 6 diners) with delicious food and fun banter with the chef. 10/10 would get scolded about how 90% of my previous sushi experiences have been subpar again.

Delightfully intimate omakase experience with a chef who's passionate about sushi and cares deeply about his craft. Exquisite flavors, beautiful space. If you're a bona fide sushi lover, you must give this place a try!
Son brought me here for my birthday, it was the best sushi I ever had. Place is tiny, but worth the effort to get a reservation. We got the tasting menu, and I loved trying things I might never have gotten on my own.

More like Sushi No! Not sure what is so special about this place that a reservation is necessary. There was basically a room with all but empty bar seating. A ‘hostess’ rushed to us the moment we opened the door to shoo us out because it is ‘reservation only’.Note: there’s an excellent sushi restaurant just a block or so up the street - very welcoming, very good sushi.
Do not go there. These people will steal ur money. Then won't pick up their

One of the singular and complete experiences I've had, irrespective of cuisine. All sushi should be this. All truly fine dining establishments should operate from this level of personal pride and commitment to craft. The sides were also crafted with a level of skill and attenuation to detail and flavor that is world class. A must do, must eat, must experience.
Hey
110% recommend Sushi Sho. Not only was food A++++. The customer service was so kind, friendly, helpful & gracious from beginning to end. Loved everything & will return soon!
