“An astonishing 18-course omakase, expertly prepared, sourced in the finest sushi chef tradition of impeccable quality.
Warm and comfortable welcome with a happy-to-share chef who told us stories about his choices in making what has to be one of the finest Japanese experiences stateside.
Tiny space, superbly arranged.
I cannot recommend it enough. Not cheap but value for money if you struggle to “have something you’ve never had anywhere else” (and don’t want the 9+ hour Tokyo flight).“

“When I'm craving sashimi or sushi that's fresh and reasonably priced, I always head to Ebiko.
Ebiko is a quick stop-and-shop in Piedmont, wish fresh sushi, nigiri, sashimi and more! It's mainly for takeout. The service is good and friendly! Mainly just the chefs in the back and hostess/cashier. Since it's a shop without seating, the vibe feels like a convenient store with snacks and drinks as well.
Parking can be a pain, but if you emergency park, I'm sure you'll be in and out under 5minutes.
Overall, great store for sushi and I would always recommend friends to stop by here when visiting!“

“Nigiri combo is excellent! I can’t wait to try the sashimi combo next. I came just before they were closing for lunch and people were steadily coming either to pick up or eat-in up until their closing time. It seemed they were regular customers who are keeping this place a secret and happy to say, I am on it already. Can’t wait to go back.“

“I came here with my friends while we were on a field trip and the atmosphere was super cozy, they had good R&B playing and it was lowkey aesthetic. I had the dragon roll, my friend had the sushi bae roll and we both shared the philly roll. We really liked the sushi and we finished it super fast. The staff was super sweet and super awesome, then when they told us about the pictures that they took for their poloroid wall, my friends and I were super excited. We had a really nice experience here and it was very hospitable. I will definitely be back when I have my next field trip in Oakland. Loved it!“

“Very clean, excellent menu with very creative rolls. The nigiri 🍣 sushi is fresh and the best I’ve had to date. Personable, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Japanese beers are on point, cold and priced right. This a “locals favorite” which feels very welcoming and the freshness will be bringing me back. Cheers!“

“It is rare that I say a sushi restaurant, much less in Oakland, is good but this place is hands down the best sushi spot I’ve tried in the bay so far. The cute waitress was friendly and was very attentive with everything I asked for. The sushi itself felt really fresh and the hand rolls were very tasty.
My only critique is that their spicy mayo is too much mayo and not enough spicy. I would like it to have more of a kick.
The bathroom was immaculate. This would be a great date spot. I’m a single guy but this would be a great place take a date. The interior is cozy and intimate and the sushi area has a cute pink color.
I’m very impressed by this place.“

“At other places I have to order every free add-on for poke because they don’t give you that much but here you can expect to get SO much food. I was amazed at the quantity of veggies in my poke bowl also it was absolutely packed with really fresh fish. I actually had to pour it into a larger mixing bowl to get to the rice at the bottom. The gentleman waited till I came in to make it because he had a question which was so kind and he was super fast. Nicer part of town, quiet restaurant very relaxed energy will be going again.“

“Rather expensive sushi with indoor seating as well as a large backyard patio. The omakase selections (chefs choice) are great, go for that and savor it. The rest of the menu is pretty standard for the price. Service is ok, can be slow when it's busy - just be aggressive about waving down the server.
Parking: Park on side streets, but don't leave visible stuff in your car. I've seen a lot of "Oakland diamonds" on the street at times.“

“I have experienced many different types of sushi hand roll bars and this is one of my new favorites. The location is perfect , right in the heart of Jack London Square and the food was amazing. They have some really cool drinks if you’re into content creation and overall it’s just a cool place to catch up or go for date night !!!“

“Truly excellent place that has been here in the neighborhood forever. We've been coming here or getting orders togo for a decade and it's been the same folks running it the whole time and they are superb.
2025 update - still going strong. great food and great service!“

“I went with a close friend, and for her, this place is a go-to—but for me, it was pure sushi heaven!
The rolls were fantastic, and the dynamite roll lived up to its name—fresh, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The sashimi was perfectly fresh and absolutely delicious. Every bite was a treat!
It was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday lunch, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The service? Attentive and efficient, with everything arriving just right.
I’m already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for such a great meal! 🤛🏽💗“

“I really like the food at this place. The sushi is yummy (if you like lots of sauce and Americanized sushi, which I do.) However, the rolls can be pretty expensive, and sometimes too large/ full of rice for my liking. Also the restaurants interior is a little out dated and uninviting. Street parking on Piedmont can be a challenge, but there’s a paid lot nearby.“

“I’ve been eyeing this place for months and finally was in the mood for sushi. The bento box was very fresh and delicious. I got the salmon teriyaki and spicy tuna. I also got the uji time ice cream. They offer a variety hand make ice cream that changes every week. This week I got the purple potato one. It was a perfect meal for an early dinner and the staff was very nice.“

“Decent Japanese food with a broad menu so that you and your party can scratch whatever itch they have (Lighter fare? Rolls? Noodles? Deep fried slabs of meat?) The sashimi prices are offset by the large cuts and the high quality of the fish. Service is excellent, and the happy hour (3-6 pm) is solid, making this a local go-to favorite of mine.“

“Very good first experience! Sashimi set for two was of excellent quality and variety, add-ons like amaebi took the dinner to another level. Rice accompanying the sashimi was regular medium grain rather than seasoned sushi rice, but a relatively small miss when the seafood is the star!“

“This is a local authentic sushi place. Chef is friendly and good listener if you have special inquiries. Sushi are freshly made to order with generous portions.
Good varieties of sushi, nigiri and sashimi plus non-sushi items. Ask staff for veggie options but some are clear through menu.
Place is clean and organized with responsive waiter.
Atmosphere is good for groups, meetup, seniors (flat floor) and small parties. Will return for orange spicy salmon (Netscreen) roll.
Vegetarian options: Veggie options available. Check with staff.
Parking: Free and paid street parkings“

“Think of the part last time you ate teriyaki...dried chicken with a bunch of gross sauce. This place perplexed me... the chicken and shrimp are perfectly cooked, with just enough sauce. The care in the prep is beyond anything you'd expect for what you'd think is a simple dish. I honestly can't think of another place that makes food this juicy, and with care. It's been on my weekly lunch rotation for a reason. Shame it's in a dead city bc you can tell they care when restaurants around them only care to make a buck.“

“Our favorite sushi spot! Always delicious sushi options, excellent staff and service! We really appreciate that they have tamari as a gluten-free option for soy sauce. If you haven’t stopped by here - think of this place the next time you want sushi!“

“Small place, attentive staff, amazing sushi.
- Their rolls are stuffed to the brim with sushi.
- The salmon sashimi is a large portion, and super good.
- We also tried their Geta don. The tuna was amazing!! The onsen egg was really great!!!
I loved the spicy scallop roll. My friends really enjoyed the real cali roll. The hamachi roll was great too.
My only complaint is that the rice consistency wasn’t great and seemed basically unseasoned.“

“Mijori – A Classic at Lake Merritt!
This little gem has been a mom-and-pop staple in Oakland for over 30 years, and they’re still going strong. The service is consistently friendly, and the food never misses. It’s a must-stop if you’re in the Lake Merritt area.
They offer a variety of weekly specials depending on the fresh fish they receive, so there’s always something new to try. Don’t skip the tuna salad—it’s topped with their house-made spicy Korean sauce, and it’s absolutely delicious.
The sushi we ordered tonight was fresh, sweet, well-seasoned, and simply satisfying. Pair it with a cold beer or a glass of sake, and you’re in for a great evening. Come check them out—you won’t be disappointed!

“I was out walking my dog, and I got this craving for sushi. I had picked up delivery from here before doing Doordash, but never tried it myself. They were sort staffed so I did have to wait a bit. But it was 1000% worth the wait. I got the Lion Princess and the White Dragon. Both delicious. And the sauces on the side took it to another level.“

“The food is tasty and spicy, which I like, I ordered the Mongolian beef. It wasn't clear or stated on the order platform that this was just the Mongolian Beef. Apparently it does not come with rice which is very disappointing. It should be clear on the order app that this doesn't come with rice. This is first time I didn't get rice with my Chinese meal.“
“Adding a review because I noticed this place had a much lower rating than I would give🥲
I order door dash from them often and have always been happy with the food. I have closer places to my house but I like to order from here because it just tastes better for some reason! Nigiri is my favorite. Very fresh and a good portion.“

“I think this could make a fun date spot.
I thought the sets were reasonably priced, but maybe it’s because I’m comparing it to SF pricing.
Every bite was great, but I think next time I’ll ask for less rice or maybe even none.“
