Sushi Bars near Emeryville

“the atmosphere is great and I love their 49 rolls! I usually go in a group because the food is very filling!“

“great food & great service!“

“This was my 5th or 6th time at Narusushi. Each time has been fantastic and Ive been meaning to review for a while.

First, the place is just amazing. I really enjoyed everything. The place is clean and the retailers are very welcoming. Decently fast service, and a casual restaurant with a good selection of Japanese style food.

I think some of the best sushi around. Fresh fish. Great flavors. The atmosphere was great and the food was truly amazing. I will definitely be coming back again, mark my words Narusushi!!“

“Randomly stopped by this place. Just to get Miso and couldn’t stop ourselves and ordered some sushi.. Food and atmosphere were amazing!! I believe somebody heard that is my birthday and brought for me ice cream!! It’s was cherry on top! Definitely coming back!!! 💗💗💗💗💗🥳🌸“

“Best vegan meal I’ve ever had, went twice in a four days it was that good ❤️“

“Best Omakase in town.“

“ALWAYS a fantastic and tasty dinner. ☺️“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“I have come here to celebrate many special occasions. The food and cocktails are excellent, and the service is flawless. The amount of food served for dinner omakase is perfect, but I can never turn down an extra nigiri or two after the set menu is completed.“

“Kuma on Valencia is the real deal. I’m picky about my sushi and this place keeps passing the test. I’ve been three times in person and even ordered delivery twice, and every time the fish has been fresh, generous, and just really good.

If you want to splurge, go wild with their nigiri - so many cuts to choose from and all beautifully done. The toro handroll is so decadent I’m salivating thinking about it. If you don’t, the rolls are deliciousssss. My most memorable bite so far was their Zeitgeist roll with toro, eggplant tempura, and purple rice. Honestly a work of art.

The sake menu is awesome, the staff is genuinely kind, and the sushi bar has that fun buzz without being too much. It’s the kind of spot where you can go casual on a weeknight or post up for a longer dinner and just keep ordering “one more thing.”“

“Best non-traditional sushi that I've ever eaten“

“I think this could make a fun date spot.

I thought the sets were reasonably priced, but maybe it’s because I’m comparing it to SF pricing.

Every bite was great, but I think next time I’ll ask for less rice or maybe even none.“

“awesome a must try, this is a hidden gem“

“Excellent take-out. Love their unagi, spicy crab salad, every roll that I’ve tried. And they are so nice!!“

“When I'm craving sashimi or sushi that's fresh and reasonably priced, I always head to Ebiko.

Ebiko is a quick stop-and-shop in Piedmont, wish fresh sushi, nigiri, sashimi and more! It's mainly for takeout. The service is good and friendly! Mainly just the chefs in the back and hostess/cashier. Since it's a shop without seating, the vibe feels like a convenient store with snacks and drinks as well.

Parking can be a pain, but if you emergency park, I'm sure you'll be in and out under 5minutes.

Overall, great store for sushi and I would always recommend friends to stop by here when visiting!“

“Great sushi, perfectly prepared and presented. So glad I walked a few more blocks to go there. Small with a very friendly staff (my 2 Buddhi’s) made for enjoyable experience. Come to town at least once a year; plan to be back.“

“Emma ,Julio and staff great!“

“Hard to reserve seats at this 8 seat only Omakase behind an unmarked door in Alameda. Led by a quality, experience, and diner education obsessed chef who personally selects and imports most of the seafood from Japan.

It is a personally catered omakase bar service of very high quality. They also have a lovely sake selection.

Pricey, but worth it.“

“This is one of the best spots for truly authentic Japanese sushi
We live nearby and order from here all the time — just call ahead, place your order, and take a nice little walk to pick it up.
Super recommended! 🇯🇵“

“This was the BEST food I've had in years. I sat there and literally closed my eyes so I could savor the experience and feel ever morsel move through my body. We had the Richmond Roll and the Pink Lady. The vegetarian options are so delicious that I am going to go back over and over again just to try everything on the menu. I literally stopped my conversation because I was having such a spiritual experience with the food. I could not focus on anything other than enjoying it. The customer service was incredible. The staff was so friendly and kind. The presentation of the dishes is immaculate. I felt like I was getting a Michelin star quality meal.

Please go try this. It's so good and so worth the money. I am in awe. ?“

“The food and service were so good. The server was so kind and nice! She made my night! And the sushi and other food was amazing. Super fresh! While it’s not high end ambiance (I almost didn’t walk in… so glad I did), the prices were right and everything was spot on. Highly recommend!“

“Don’t know how I just found about this gem in soma! Seems like not many people know about it. We were skeptical about the photoshopped photos and the name 😅 and the overwhelming 5 star reviews, but it was so legit. On a slightly pricier side compared to your average sushi restaurant but comparable to Akari and Kombu and we liked that they have so much more options.
The chirashi set was great, loved that they had oden as well. Area is sketch and don’t make our mistake of going to the sushi place next door!“

“Excellent sushi, great ambience, wonderful service. The best sushi restaurant in San Francisco. I love sushi and eat sushi a lot. This place is by far the best and we had a wonderful experience. The chef Ono san knows so much about fish and sushi. You can trust him to serve you the entire omakase menu. I will make sure to come back more again and again.“

“The best sea bass and the best sushi 🍣 Love it“

“Good for lunch. Really value for your money. I had the sashimi lunch set and my wife had the chicken wing and salmon sushi set and both were really fresh and good. Will definitely come again ! Weekdays - reservations not really needed, but I've come by on weekends and you should make reservations.“

“An astonishing 18-course omakase, expertly prepared, sourced in the finest sushi chef tradition of impeccable quality.
Warm and comfortable welcome with a happy-to-share chef who told us stories about his choices in making what has to be one of the finest Japanese experiences stateside.
Tiny space, superbly arranged.

I cannot recommend it enough. Not cheap but value for money if you struggle to “have something you’ve never had anywhere else” (and don’t want the 9+ hour Tokyo flight).“

“The customer service is outstanding and the quality of sushi serves were delicious. The Chef prepared the plates well. I don’t think I can return to a regular Japanese restaurant after this experience. 😁“

“Great food, great service. The Calamari is top notch!“

“I was looking for a high end sushi restaurant close to the Orpheum as I had tickets last night to see Les Miz. Nakama Sushi showed up when I googled for such a restaurant type. It was my first time to this place. Very attentive service. We ordered to special chef's omakase dinner. Wow! 4 amazing appetizers, the sweetest sashimi (so fresh and melts in your mouth tender), with subtle delicious flavors, chawanmushi, sushi hand roll, miso soup and a lovely dessert. Well worth it. Loved the food, loved the experience.“

“Best sushi in the city. The chefs are super talented and the waitstaff are always great. Food is top notch. Good selection for different fish and apps. I usually go for omakase, but sometimes the kira kira or ninja roll. The atmosphere is not too loud. You can usually find parking within a couple blocks.“

“Exceptional service. Delicious, artfully presented omakase at a reasonable price point.“

“I have been here 5 times and always enjoy it! It’s a solid, intimate spot for high quality sushi. On my most recent visit Frankie was playing Renaissance by Beyoncé on repeat and the ambience had never been better. Immaculate music taste! Will definitely be back.“

“The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delicious. It's in a great location in Fisherman's Wharf. I didn't eat out there, but the outside patio was warm and inviting. The sushi was fresh, my miso was great, and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned.“

“Ok so I have pretty much given up eating sushi cause the quality even at highly rated places seems to be a bit meh now a days. Stumbled on Butterfish last night and I was literally transported back to Japan!
I wish I could give them 10 stars. The food is just exquisite. Just come and try it yourself cause I really won't do justice to it with mere words.
And the best part is you will receive the most hospitalable service which again transports you back to Japan. I wish other restaurants that are allegedly fancy would learn from this service team.
We enjoyed the food so much we over ate and it was totally worth the constitutional we needed to take after the meal😅
The fish is fresh, presented in innovative ways, they don't skimp on quantity, service completely above and beyond and lovely atmosphere.
I give this place 10 happy bellies 😋😍“

“This is a great Japanese restaurant. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is quaint and romantic. You can sit at wooden tables with chairs or sit on a mat at authentic Japanese style tables. I highly recommend this restaurant for fun casual dining or for a romantic date night.“

“A lot of choices to make your own Poke Bowl at affordable price. You cannot go wrong. it was my bf and I'm first time to try it there and know regret at all. Highly recommended. 👍“

“everything went perfectly smooth, the chef was attentive and delightful to chat with! fish was fresh and delicious, every bite was full of yummy sensations, sake pairing was lovely as well! nothing but smiles and joy and happy bellies that evening!“

“Heard of this spot via word of mouth. Me a good friend went there and the food was amazing! A personal nitpick was it was too dim, but that’s just a personal preference.

The food was fantastic, service was excellent as well, I forgot to ask the server’s name, but she went out of her way to fix our table that was wobbly. I remember she had a nose septum ring.

Overall, fantastic sushi restaurant, highly recommend the Macha Tres Leche cake if you have room left!“

“Lovely little hole-in-the-wall in an unassuming spot. Fish is very fresh, cut in generous slabs, and reasonably cheap.

Wouldn't really recommend dining in, since there are only a few tables and students / delivery drivers are constantly coming in and out; however, table service is offered, and the owners will make your order fresh.“

“This seems to be a popular spot in the neighborhood, due to the flavor and price point of the menu items. I dined in with my son and his girlfriend and they love it. We had the Romeo & Juliet, BTS Roll, Caterpillar Roll, and Agedashi Tofu. My favorites were the Romeo & Juliet and the Agedashi Tofu. The staff was polite and attentive. I'm glad we didn't have to wait for a table. I really enjoyed spending time with my son and his girlfriend at one of their favorite eateries.“

“在美國的日本味道，這是算不錯的“

“Nigiri combo is excellent! I can’t wait to try the sashimi combo next. I came just before they were closing for lunch and people were steadily coming either to pick up or eat-in up until their closing time. It seemed they were regular customers who are keeping this place a secret and happy to say, I am on it already. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Absolutely best sushi. The chef is extremely passionate and talented, and it shows in the food and the service that is a lost art in current times. The prices are extremely fair for this quality of sushi. I think it's honestly worth more, but the lower prices make it more accessible. They have excellent vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend spicy crunchy tuna roll, futomaki roll, shitaki maki vegetable tempura, and my partner recommends the white dragon roll.
I have a crab allergy and have never had any issues here.
Service is good and the atmosphere is nice. The restaurant is decorated and has a nice feel.
In the picture: white dragon roll, spicy crunchy tuna rolls, vegetarian Bento box with veggie tempura and shitaki maki. Highly recommend this place.“

“They do a very good job of creating “sushi” dishes to vegan acceptable options. My family really enjoyed the food as did I. And as others have mentioned the restaurant could do better in terms of atmosphere the tables by the window are ok but anything near the entrance sucks.“

“I have come to this amazing establishment for over 15 years. Delicious. Efficient and amazing staff. Fresh and tummy always pleased. Yes!“

“I grew up eating raw fishes that got fished out in the morning so my standards are maybe high here.

I took the Sashimi Chef's choice and a green tea. The decoration of the room and the plate were very beautiful and peaceful, the sashimi were ok+.

The slices were not perfectly cut so I had to manually separate them, and I got mostly fatty parts, I really prefer lean parts.
Overall, not very amazed by the taste but it wasn't bad.

Paid 55,6 dollar after tax.“

“The best sushi place in the city!! Quality of food is 10 out of 5......“

“This was SUCH an amazing place, there's no maximum for how much I recommend it. The sushi quality was great, the delivery was one of a kind and the service was fantastic. We are going to visit San Fran again, just so we can come back here! 10/10!“

“It was a delightful experience and they were very accommodating! They even paid attention to detail to my two friends who were left handed and made sure that their plate of nigiri was flipped for them. So that was — next level customer service & food was absolutely delicious! Thank you!“

“Soooo Good! Favorite Spot! Delish Fish🐠🐟🐠“
