Found this place from a post on Instagram, and it was definitely worth the visit! The service was great and made us feel very welcome. Loved the boats, and the food was high quality. We were seated right away as well. It’s a great spot for a date night and an awesome place to support a local business, especially with its great location near the Grand Lake Theater.

Incredible sushi, locally owned by a sweet couple. Big portions for the price! It’s more than just “conveyor belt sushi” - a must visit if you like sushi in Oakland!

They stop adding things to the conveyor about an hour before close. Which means the raw seafood will continue to cycle there just as long if not longer until people eat it. The servers took a long time to get us a simple order like sake, side salad, water. I had to cancel some items because they took so long and we had to go. They clearly forgot the items i ordered. The food had me go straight to the bathroom in the restaurant, Food went thru me that fast and my intestines remained inflamed about 2 days after. I dont know what it was in the restaurant that caused it. But its started there. This was the first time I've been here in over 10 years and it is not the same. Maybe earlier times are safer.

Consistently excellent rolls, large and diverse menu, warm service. Mama-san is always polite, accommodating, and welcoming. This is one of my top sushi picks for Oakland!

The server was very friendly and polite, but the sushi was really bad. I enjoy slumming it with hole in the wall sushi, grocery store sushi, you name it but this was just not cutting it. Yummy tempura and miso soup though. Donburi was just ok. Probably wouldn’t go here again.

Some of the worst sushi I’ve ever had but the robot server was fun and the human servers were very polite and friendly.

This place is my new favorite spot. And the staff is really cool
So much fun! The couple ran the food and the sushi bar were so sweet and attentive to all other customers. Had a fun group next to me that took sake bombs with me. Really good price prices and delicious food. My son and I will be back!

They definitely need more than one waitress, and more variety for the appetizers of Sushi at the floating bar.
