8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Livermore

“DELICIOUS! We just had our dinner at Kokolo Donburi and ordered the Katsudon and the Wagyu Sukiyaki. Both dishes + miso soup are such a delight to have on an autumn day where the air is getting a little chilly. We also got to try a new dish: the shrimp shumai! I could eat a whole plate of these just by myself 😋Lastly, the fresh greens that came with the shumai were amazing which came topped with a wonderfully zesty yuzu dressing (Yuzu lovers rejoice!)
I loved the dressing so much, I had to ask for more (it’s liquid gold!) Thank you Kokolo Donburi!“

“This place our family’s absolute favorite restaurant. Even though it’s about a 50-minute drive from our home, we try to come at least once a month.
Everything we’ve tried has been amazing — especially the Chicken Katsu, which is our 8 and 5 year old kids’ all-time favorite, the Korean Chirashi, and honestly, every single roll on the menu.
It’s always worth the drive👍“

“Always delicious and best sushi in Livermore for sure“

“Hanabishi Japanese Cuisine is an incredible restaurant. The environment is relaxing, and inviting, and the service is remarkable. I was also amazed by the affordable and fair prices they charge and the outstanding service and attention to detail. This is easily the best affordable sushi restaurant in Livermore. Thank you, Hanabishi, I look forward to my next visit!“

“Good Japanese food with good customer service 🙂“

“Absolutely loved Cured Fish Bar. The quality of the fish is top-tier, incredibly fresh, clean flavors, and beautifully prepared. And for the price? You really can’t beat it.

Every dish came out looking like it belonged at a tea party, delicate, aesthetic, and almost too pretty to eat. But once you take a bite… WOW. Everything was thoughtfully crafted and leaves you wanting more.

Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. 🍣✨“

“Best place in town for affordable sushi! I come here about once a week and usually get the sushi lunch special. It's under $20 and comes with miso soup, salad, a roll, and five pieces of nigiri sushi. I have tried other menu items and they are good too. There is better sushi in Livermore, but sushi zone has prices that are noticeably more affordable without sacrificing taste or quality.

The staff is friendly and it has a laid back atmosphere. Quick service too. There is a huge parking lot so you can easily park and walk in.“

“it's always pretty good here. The prices are fair and I'm always up for a repeat“
