7 Best Japanese Restaurants in Hayward

“First time here. For being in Hayward, this Edomae-style restaurant is a treasure. The word to describe this place is: efficient. From the get-go you're informed to scan their QR code to access their menu/order. Maybe it gets better as you become a regualr; however, I felt detached from the sushi chefs even though I'm sitting at the bar. I like to order what's new/fresh...didnt even know they had engawa till I overheard the chefs discuss their current stock. Plus, the three chefs looked like they were trying to diffuse a nuke with time running out and so you're not inclined to disturb them. Not sure if they enforce their one-hour time limit as I didn't test it. The char, trout, belt fish, and black snapper were a nice add to the menu. Always appreciate room temperature fish; the texture just pops when presented in this manner. Hope to try again.“

“I have been coming here for almost 14 years. And I would not change this japanese restaurant for another. Ambiance, food price, friendliness the taste of the food is wonderful. Like my mom always says : bueno, bonito y barata. Good, wonderful, comfortable prices. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Price is good and food is good.“

“Definitely going to go back here again sushi’s are fresh and taste so good! My wife and my daughter enjoyed it the last time we went there for lunch. They have variety of sushi on their menu and the staff are really friendly. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ -donpinoytv“

“Went on a date and got some absolutely delicious sushi 🍣 the prices are much better than almost all the sushi restaurants in the area while still maintaining quality. It does depend on what you get, but if you find the good rolls then this will become your favorite spot in downtown Hayward for sushi!!“

“Apparently I've been driving right by this place for a while, but it happened to catch my eye today. I stopped in and ended up getting the sashimi donburi. It was excellent! The fish was fresh and very good quality, the rice was well seasoned as well. Though slightly more expensive than some other to-go sushi options, the quality of ingredients made the donburi well worth it for the price paid and is overall a very good value.“

“A small spot located in downtown Hayward is a great spot for some fresh and tasty sushi. I didn’t take picture of everything we ordered, but ordered chicken teriyaki, chirashi bowl, a special roll and nigiri. All were good quantities for the price. The place is small and tight space with only a few tables, but such a good spot. They do takeout as well!“
