“My daughter and I love Yo Sushi 🍣“

“Amazing as always! This place delivers consistently excellent sushi—super fresh, and just look at the picture to see how thick their sashimi cuts are. It’s not only fresh, it’s truly a great value.

I ordered four pieces of sashimi, the katsu curry with an add-on of California roll for an additional of $5, and it all even came with a salad. The pork in the katsu curry was juicy with two thick, satisfying slices.

Not to mention they gave me free tea. So generous.

Service was outstanding—the true definition of great customer care. The ambiance is cozy, welcoming, and very clean. Highly recommend!

I love this place and the owners!!!“

“I think my wife and I found our new favorite sushi spot, certainly much closer than our other one!
We came to check this place out. Standard menu, lots of options without having too many to look though either. My wife got a pork Katsu Bento box, I got a couple rolls, and we shared an appetizer or two.
Food was satisfying and the server was attentive on refills and checking on us. Best of all the prices are still reasonable here, which is nice with how much they seem to be going up everywhere else.
I think we will be going here regularly to get our sushi fix!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“Anytime we are in Pleasanthill area we try to eat at Jo’s Honda Sushi. We used to live in Pleasanthill and we would go there at least once a week. We love Honda and all his family ❤️“

“Overall good food at decent prices, with friendly service. The portions were larger than neighboring Japanese restaurants that I had recently. Had the lunch bento and surprisingly offered takoyaki as an option - IYKYK. Spicy tuna was good too. And as others have mentioned, the miso soup was really good. I will go again to try more items.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Absolutely love Hanabi! It's our favorite sushi spot, and it never disappoints. The quality of the fish is consistently fresh and delicious, and the presentation is always beautiful. The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether we're craving classic rolls or trying something new from their menu, Hanabi always hits the mark. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, top-notch sushi. We'll definitely be back!“

“First time here. Super cute & chill vibe. Pic of food was after I ate one shrimp tempura then remembered I wanted a pic of our dinner. The presentation was much better when it arrived. One teriyaki chicken bento with shrimp tempura and a lion king roll was more than enough for two. Overall, super happy with quality and quantity of food. Definitely recommend trying out this place.“

“The sushi was really good“

“Beautiful products. My order was very carefully packed and arrived quickly. Excellent service.“

“经常更新季节性的鱼类…😋新鲜…主要的是老板很帅☺️…😜“

“Everything was absolutely amazing!! We’ve passed by this place so many times, I’m sad we didn’t try this place sooner! We have eaten plenty of sushi, and I’m happy to say that everything we ordered at Toyosu was SO delicious. Not pictured was the o toro hamachi, which was definitely my favorite. Now we’ve tried and enjoyed 4/4 of our ordered dishes, we will 100% return.“

“The sushi was great, but like others have posted, the rolls are really large and make it difficult to eat.

The service was awesome very speedy and on brand.

The atmosphere is a normal bistro, and designed to be super fast.“

“Been here a few times, I see Japanese people eating here so the food must be good. Sushi rolls, hand rolls, miso soup, eel are good choices. It's hard to miss the plaza entrance to the parking lot as it's hard to see from the road.“

“I've gone to all of the sushi restaurants in Pinole and I even though this one is a little further away in Hercules, it is by far the best. The fish is so fresh, the rolls are delicious and the prices are reasonable. This is my go to place for sushi.“

“Un ambiente agradable donde se puede uno divertir“

“Excellent service from owner. Sushi comes in great portions for the price. So good that I had it for catering service at my wedding. Would definitely recommend for anybody wanting great sushi at a good price. Would definitely also recommend for events.“

“Tatsu is a solid spot here that really delivers on atmosphere and flavor. The authentic Japanese design stands out right away - warm wood tones, pink Sakuras, clean lines, and a cozy layout that makes the space feel both traditional and welcoming.

On a packed Saturday night, the team was clearly working at full speed. The chef in particular was impressive - focused, efficient, and handling a nonstop flow of orders without missing a beat. You could feel the effort and care behind the counter.

The sashimi was fresh, clean, and genuinely delicious - exactly what you hope for when you sit down at a sushi bar. The specialty rolls like Flaming Dragon were beautifully plated with a bit of flair, and the uni shooters were the highlight of the night - rich, briny, and absolutely outstanding.

Overall, a lively, high-quality sushi experience. When a restaurant is that busy and still maintains this level of freshness and service, that says a lot. Definitely worth coming back.“

“Loved this place, but removing a star because they took the teriyaki salmon option off the menu. Strange, because everyone loved it and it was often sold out! The raw fish is hit or miss. Bring back the teriyaki!

My roommates and I check doordash every week or so, just to see if they have Salmon Samba.“

“The best sushi in the east bay!“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“This is our fourth time coming here and we're always so impressed with the delicious, fresh, creative,unique dishes that are beautifully presented. It's an unpretentious atmosphere and a great value as well. A true Berkeley institution!“

“Very fresh and would definitely recommend the Big Combo Appetizer (Shumai, Gyoza, Tempura & Yakitori) to go with your Meal. Very friendly people, satisfied with the Food and Service😋“

“Excellent sushi again and again. Highly recommend this restaurant. Great service and fresh fish every time.“

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Some of the best sushi in the East Bay, and one of the best sushi chefs, Jack san,“

“The food was fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. The sushi had great flavor, and the variety on the menu offered plenty of appealing choices. Service was also attentive and reasonably quick, which made the dining experience enjoyable.

However, one issue stood out and affected my rating. The table menu was noticeably dirty, with visible smudges and stains. This detail took away from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere and raised some concerns about cleanliness standards.

Overall, it’s a solid place for sushi with tasty dishes and good service, but improving cleanliness—especially of items like menus—would make a big difference.“

“Good food, good service and value for money!“

“Hakashi is truly one of the best sushi restaurants in the East Bay. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and they add their own creative twist with unique flavors and presentation. Their drinks also have a personalized touch, definitely try the tamarind and hibiscus mocktail. For sushi rolls, the 49er and the Hakashi roll are must-tries, with the Hakashi roll being my personal favorite.“

“Excellent sushi. Very fresh and flavorful. The salmon had a delicious buttery texture, as it should. Hard to find high quality these days and it is authentic. It is pricey, so depending on your budget it might be a once every so often place. As someone who only eats raw fish, it was perfect. Will be going back.“

“Customer friendly & quick service. Food is great.😋“

“Love the buffet around the sushi bar! Best place to sit!“

“We had a great dinner here! Everything felt very authentic, and you can tell they put a lot of care into preparing their seafood. The proportions were spot on.
A huge surprise was the miso soup—it was so good that even my kids, who usually don't touch it, finished the whole bowl. The salad was simple and refreshing, and the fried chicken (karaage) was perfectly crispy and tender. The beef was a little on the salty side for my taste, but overall, it didn't take away from a really enjoyable meal.
We liked it so much that we even grabbed some nigiri to go, and the kids absolutely loved it. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to.“

“The freshest sushi I’ve ever had in this area. Hands down. Will definitely be back!“

“This place is pricey but good. The only problem I have was they forgot to give me my Vanilla Ice cream and Snapple drink I ordered two different Sushi Rolls with Vanilla Ice Cream and Snapple drink on Uber Eats and you guys forgot to put my Ice Cream and Snapple drink together with my order. Shameful I just wasted half my money to order those“

“The best omakase around!!“

“This is one of the best izakaya spots around here. The owners and staff are very friendly, and it looks like they have a lot of regular customers.

I ordered a few dishes to enjoy with some good sake. The yakitori was a bit disappointing since it lacked that smoky, grilled flavor. I wouldn’t recommend it.

However, the steamed clams were excellent—perfect as a drinking snack. The fried herring was so delicious that we finished it in no time. Lastly, I had ochazuke, which was absolutely satisfying and something I’d definitely order again.

Overall, it was a perfect dinner experience.“

“A good selection of Thai and Sushi and prices are reasonable. Our server is very polite. I like the most was the Sushi especially the presentation. Definitely, I’ll recommend to our friends and we’ll come back for sure.“

“I have been going to this place since I was probably 14 or 15 yrs old. The owners are great and their food is Amazing 😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩......So I thank you for remembering me from working ant the movie theater, and then when I got home after being away for almost 5 or 6 yrs. A+“

“Sasa is a staple for us anytime we want great food, great atmosphere and great service. My husband and I have been going regularly for years and we have never had a disappointing meal, or service. Best sushi around! Staff is fantastic!“

“If you come here for your birthday, you can get a free dessert (1 ice cream mochi with whipped cream). I love salmon and I think all the salmon dishes were good! The salmon sashimi was thick and excellent. The rolls we tried were both good. My brother said he enjoyed the teriyaki chicken plate. I only wouldn’t recommend the tempura udon- too sweet on the sauce and broth, too heavily coated & oily on the tempura. The wasabi was not the quality pure wasabi, likely made mostly of radish, but it won’t bother you unless you love wasabi.
The service was great and came to refill our glasses and check in with us several times.“

“We come here frequently. Service tonight was excellent, our server Josh (whose section we are often in) was attentive and friendly. The food was great: yellowtail nigiri, john roll, Telegraph roll, and S.P. rainbow roll; we were hungry but still didn't finish it all“

“Island Special Rolls are amazing!!! Phoenix, Pearl, Orinda and Super Star are a few of our favorites!!! #sushigood“

“Always very nice coming here. I come here almost everytime I visit the mall. The thought of mall sushi might not be everyone's cup of tea, but don't knock it till you try it. The sushi is great. Not too much rice and avacado/tempura/cucumber have always been very fresh. The hot mamacita roll is a favorite of mine as well as theavacado roll and cucumber roll.

It is fairly affordable and lovely service from the owners. They always say hello to you when you come in, and also bye and thank you when you leave. Always happy to support a small business.“

“Delicious and everything was so fresh 😋“

“Absolutely,I recommend your restaurant, good good and friendly staff.“

“We love this place! The best of Thai and the best of Japanese! I have the salmon skin ham roll today and a Poké bowl. Both yummy. Services is friendly. Food is great.“

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