50 Best Sushi Bars near Richmond

“I wanted to love it. The staff and food were good & my server was great. The setup is awful. My meal began with ordering on a shared tablet. The food came out too quickly. I had a miso soup & salad -- but my entree came out before I was even close to done with either. Then the kids/mall of it all. A kid loudly banging on the piano outside, another kid refusing to put his phone away to eat -- kids screaming and whining. It's not the experience I want at a restaurant, certainly not at sushi. The restaurant has little to no control over that, so no stars off for obnoxious other guests. The TVs ruined the vibe. It's so cute inside, why ruin it with screens everywhere???? Paper menus, ask the mall to move the piano, ditch the TVs and it could be a really great place. Still good food and workers. Not sure if I'll go back soon.“

“All the food looks amazing! Unfortunately, a most of the fishes on the nigiri was kind of tasteless so it's hard to distinguish between the pieces. I didn't like the fish eggs because it was slightly fishy - this might be my personal palette though. The eel with avocado and cucumbers was really tasty.
Note, I suggest looking at what you're purchasing because the fish pieces might slightly differ in size. And for the price your paying, you probably want the bigger pieces like how I would.“

“Excellent take-out. Love their unagi, spicy crab salad, every roll that I’ve tried. And they are so nice!!“

“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.“

“Everything. Best of everything.“

“Such a cool lil spot in the hills.
We are on vacation from North Texas and happened upon this place.
The food, the atmosphere, the service - amazing!
So happy we came here!
The baked mussels and 911 roll were incredible!“

“The best sushi place in the city!! Quality of food is 10 out of 5......“

“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).“

“Wow!
I just went for date night with my daughter (back from college) and had the best sushi in the Bay Area!!!

The Omakase was superb!!! The highlight was hamachi with truffle and the unagi was the best I’ve ever tasted.

We also had the lion king (because which was “just right”!

Our server was terrific - she recommended the chef special, Ika Sugata (Grilled whole Squid with Jalapeño & Mango 🤩)

We also got the delicious Garlic Edamame and took an order of Matcha Tres Leche to go.

It wasn’t “cheap” but it was soooo worth it!!!

We will be back!“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“Been coming here for over 20 years. My absolute favorite sushi bar in SF. Do you want to be social with loud music and rainbow rolls? Then don’t come here. Do you want authentic sushi with only the best of the best fish? This is your place.“

“The best sea bass and the best sushi 🍣 Love it“

“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.“

“The food was nice. Very tasty. I like when there is a sampler platter on sushi menus so you can let the chef pick. They had 6 of these and a sushi bowl. I went with combo A. I was pleased with the choice. They have the Kurosawa Kimoto sake here. I love thise stuff. I get the 300ml. I'd get the 720, but the fiance would probably be critical of that decision.“

“I've been many times and always enjoy the food. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary today, so in my reservation request I asked if they could play our song after we got there. Without saying anything to the staff about it when we arrived, the song came on a little after we were seated. We both teared up a bit; it surprised me how something so simple could feel so special. Thank you Tane staff. Also, always get the cheesecake; take it to go if you're full.“

“This place is incredible in food, service, and atmosphere. Such amazing quality fish and delicious dishes.

My favorite was their hand rolls and the hirame usuzukuri (like a carpaccio). Even their green tea was made well, not bitter at all - so smooth. I dont think you could get anything wrong here.“

“Lovely little hole-in-the-wall in an unassuming spot. Fish is very fresh, cut in generous slabs, and reasonably cheap.

Wouldn't really recommend dining in, since there are only a few tables and students / delivery drivers are constantly coming in and out; however, table service is offered, and the owners will make your order fresh.“

“Yonsei Handrolls consistently impresses with food that is clean, focused, and exceptionally well executed. The handrolls highlight ingredient quality above all else. Fresh fish, well seasoned rice, and crisp nori come together in a way that feels intentional and balanced. Nothing is overdone, and each bite delivers clarity of flavor. It is the kind of food that reflects confidence in technique and sourcing rather than excess. A standout spot when you want handrolls that are precise, fresh, and deeply satisfying.“

“I have come to this amazing establishment for over 15 years. Delicious. Efficient and amazing staff. Fresh and tummy always pleased. Yes!“

“Small shop with warm food and an open fridge section of sushi. There was also a wall of snacks. Prices are very reasonable. No verbal communication which I think is fine but the woman dropped my packed sushi upside down and then tossed it into a bag. Sushi rice was a bit too hard for my liking.“

“Sushi Chef is my favorite sushi spot and the only place I order from regularly. The fish is always incredibly fresh, the quality is consistently excellent, and I’ve never been disappointed.

They’re also fantastic about accommodating my gluten allergy, which gives me a lot of confidence ordering from them. It’s my go-to recommendation whenever friends or family are visiting from out of town, and I’m just as happy dining there solo.

A true local favorite that never misses.“

“经常更新季节性的鱼类…😋新鲜…主要的是老板很帅☺️…😜“

“Our server, Angela, made the night from go from good to great. Food was good and served quickly, even in a mostly full restaurant. They have a relatively small menu of high quality items. Didn’t save room for dessert. Well worth the trip.“

“Excellent foods, friendly staffs! We really love to have dinner here~ Absolutely, I will visit again when I come back to Berkeley!“

“Loved the food, I got the prime rib steak teriyaki and the mango ice cream. Service was great and waitresses were very friendly. Atmosphere was great, I love the light fixtures. Music was a little loud, though. I’d prefer jazz or an instrumental track over lyrical music.“

“This was our first time here and I placed an to go order. Walked right in and was quickly greeted and placed my order with the friendly worker. I ordered a caterpillar roll, Fortune roll, Giants roll and a Sake avocado making roll. Everything was delicious and I want to return and try so other items. Beware parking is extremely difficult to find when I arrived around six pm.“

“This hole in the wall has sushi with fluffy warm rice, thick slices of fresh fatty fish, fresh avocado and lemons, and yummy ginger. I recommend the 49er role. I’ve had way more expensive sushi that was not this good. Classic restaurant sushi can be cold and stiff, this is way better. The couple who runs the store are kind and good cooks.“

“This is a great little place to have sushi for lunch. I ordered a salmon teriyaki box and there was a generous portion of salmon, rice, salad, and veggies. My husband had a sushi box and said that it was very good. The prices are reasonable considering the location. The restaurant's very small so there's not much seating but it's possible to use a couple of picnic tables outside.“

“Very friendly and helpful owner. But the poke bowl, man. I’ve had poke bowls across the country - this one is the first I’ve had feel homemade. A new but delicious experience for me. Definitely my go to spot now. Portions were awesome too!“

“Two words: GOLDEN CRUNCH! This is one of their specialty rolls that is absolutely something I could eat once or twice a week!

Overall, the food is beautifully presented and in generous portions, and the wait staff is extremely kind and attentive. We have been fans of the original location in Kensington, and we are glad that they are able to expand and serve the greater community.“

“Great sushi and sashimi in a loveky setting! the Lion King is the best! Fast and efficient service!“

“This was the first time my husband and I ever heard of this restaurant. We were a little worried about coming in as the closing time was only about 30 minutes after we arrived. We were welcomed and sat immediately. The Nigiri was absolutely amazing for AYCE. The pricing was decent for two people. Sure the rolls are smaller but it makes sense for an AYCE establishment. The service was pretty good just a very minor issue of waiting between orders but that is understandable.
I highly recommend this place should you have the urge to eat 45 pieces of nigiri 🤣“

“Cool sushi spot, atmosphere was very chill. I was pretty much the only one eating at the time. Sashimi was good, the 49er roll wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be but this pace was still great. Staff was very courteous and the food came really fast. They also give you large portions. You'll get full fast at this spot.“

“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!“

“We went during a happy hour and ordered the Lion King and Spicy Tuna rolls, fried tofu, hot sake and cold beer. In addition to the insanely good quality of the food, the price came out to $60 total. You get excellent food for low prices. This should be your go to for sushi in SF!“

“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!“

“Amazing sushi rolls and great service. Try it. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“Quality is key with any meal. Roger-San is all about quality. Sit at the bar if you can!“

“My Husband and I have been looking for a solid sushi place for us and our two teenagers. As you can imagine finding a place to suit everyone can be a challenge. After 2 misfires we landed here and though the other two might be nice for an array of other reasons, this fits all expectations across the board.

The environment is very cute and like being immersed in a sushi place in Japan(Gorgeous woodwork). The staff was friendly and there was a lovely live musician that really said the environment to the next level for a Friday night out with the family.

The food was incredible and since we went for happy hour, everything was priced better than just about any Restaurant we’ve been to recently. The rations in the rolls were proper nice chunks of avocado!!! GET THE SPIDER TACO!!!

Kk byeeeeee“

“Excellent service and very friendly staff. The bento box was absolutely delicious and the portion was very generous. My son greatly enjoyed the fresh salmon. The complimentary ice cream provided for him was a thoughtful and impressive gesture. Highly recommended!“

“We popped in here after yoga on a random Monday night and it was the best decision ever. Sat at the sushi bar and got the Rainbow Roll, Spicy Tuna and some nigiri and everything was melt in your mouth delicious. Could not recommend enough, and great date spot if you’re looking for affordable sushi and good vibes. Can’t wait to come back“

“A sushirito -like place with cheaper prices. $8 instead of $13. Try the B8, which has both salmon and tuna sashimi inside. Added bonus points for carrying takoyaki.“

“Cozy neighborhood corner restaurant that punches way above its weight in quality of fish and preparation. Particularly great cuts of tuna (especially fatty otoro and chutoro). Price was probably a little on the higher side and the place is definitely on the smaller side, but those downsides are dwarfed by how good the fish is. Do yourself a favor and splurge on some of the market price blackboard specials!“

“Eating is a kind of happiness, taste is a kind of interest“

“Probably the best meal I’ve ever had, super fun, exciting, every bite was perfect. Intimate and fast process“

“Amazing food and service. Ambiance on point as well“

“Omg! The Ribs are amazing!“

“This restaurant has an amazing ambiance, delicious food and friendly and professional staff. I definitely would recommend!“

“Well I wish I could post a photo of delish rolls I ordered but they are already gone.

I think I found the one. The small sushi spot with lots of flavor. Fish is fresh. Service is excellent and prices are reasonable. I knew it was going to be delish when I saw lots of takeout orders being picked up by other locals. So happy to have stumbled upon Judoku. Yummy 😋

I bet my roommate won’t be happy when he realizes it’s all gone already … will be back for more 😋“

“Kuidaore is a wonderful restaurant! I highly recommend including it in your visit to Jack London Square.
Food: The fish is fresh, delicious and high quality. The small plates are creative and have all been really flavorful and well-balanced (I have just 1 more on the list to try). My only criticism is that some of the fish is so tender it can be difficult to get the whole bite from the plate to my mouth. The handrolls are really good, each one is packed with fish and the seaweed is super crispy - exactly what you'd want. They'll let you split them between 2 people if you want to be sure to have room to try a lot of them. There are a few expensive, very fancy ones - think edible gold, wagyu, caviar...incredible to taste and beautiful presentation. Their miso soup is delicious and an inexpensive extra that you should definitely try.
People: The staff are amazing! So welcoming and accommodating. After a few visits, our favorite waitress recognized us and had our drinks started before we even sat down! The chef/owner is friendly and checks in on customers when she can.
Atmosphere: The chairs are awkwardly tall but it gives you a great view of the handroll station. It's an intimate setting that's very comfortable. The only negative is that when it's busy it gets pretty noisy.
To reiterate, I definitely recommend going here if you're in the area!“
