This is my friend and I's go to for lunch near work. We love the Katie 2 and the bento lunch specials. The server isn't attentive, rarely comes to ask if we need anything or to refill the water. We always need go find her to get our check or ask for to go items, but the one in the evening is kind and she is very cheerful.
We keep coming back for the food, service is ehhh but food is good.

My party of 8 arrived kind of late and we weren't aware of how small the restaurant was, but they were happy and able to accommodate us ASAP. We got a peach and strawberry soju, potato croquettes, gyoza, and edamame as appetizers, which were PHENOMENAL. The Edamame was soft and cooked perfectly with a little flaky salt. The salmon sashimi came with 5 pieces, and they were all at least 2 inches long and an inch thick!!! Delightfully fresh and needed two bites. The Wasabi put on top tasted like the real thing!!!! Not paste. My 'Ryan' roll was exquisite!!! I have never had a roll so good. I sampled other rolls, and I didn’t eat a roll I didn't like. They gave us complimentary miso soup which tasted absolutely wonderful. I am from North Texas and my standards for sushi have been raised ten-fold. I will be dreaming about this restaurant!!!!

It's a small diner but regardless, the food was good, portion size is great and the cost of the meal was also fair.

I hardly ever leave reviews but I stopped by here today for my second time and I have to say this will be my go to when I'm passing through hayward. I absolutely love their bento boxes I normally don't ever get beef teriyaki but this place did not disappoint. The portion sizes are really big compared to most places I've gone to plus you can't beat the prices super reasonable. The fish was super fresh especially the tuna. Even my toddler loved it. Thank you again for serving us we will be back again.

Taste is pretty good, one of my typical go to spots for sushi and katsu chicken. This was the first place I introduced sushi to my mom and she loves it when we go together. My only small comment in my most recent to-go order (yesterday) is that of the 4 rolls we ordered, 3 of them begun to fall apart immediately and the rice was a bit scattered and not covering the seaweed completely.
Good taste but perhaps more training is required to build the sushi rolls a little better. Still enjoyed my fall apart sushi though! 😁 Haha
This Kansai spot is pretty compact, with just enough space to get by. The downside? On a cold night, every time the door opens, cold air blasts right in. The place also has a bit of a cold vibe, with exposed concrete walls and dim lighting adding to that chill, almost industrial feel. It’s not uncomfortable, but it definitely leans on the colder side. On the plus side, it doesn’t have that overpowering fishy smell you get in some seafood places, which is a solid win. The service is decent, and the servers stay on top of things. When I went, there was only one other table occupied, yet it still took a bit longer than expected for the food to hit the table. We ordered the 49er roll, Philadelphia roll, Oakland roll, Lion King roll, and the In & Out roll. Everything came out as expected, with fresh fish that had zero fishy smell. The 49er roll in particular was amazing and definitely the standout of the meal.

Rude servers and incredible slow, we waited half an hour to put our order in while they were giggling in the corners chatting with each other.
