Kaisen Don is one of my favorites. The staff is eager to serve you. The food is awesome. Great selection of sake. What more can you ask for. ♥️

Door dashed last night. Got mild food poisoning from their cooked lion king roll, and that says a lot. Fish is obviously not fresh.

This is a great Japanese restaurant. We had a great time. The food was excellent. The atmosphere is quaint and romantic. You can sit at wooden tables with chairs or sit on a mat at authentic Japanese style tables. I highly recommend this restaurant for fun casual dining or for a romantic date night.

Beware.....Came here in May 2025 for our date night! My wife LOVEs oysters, I, on the other hand; only like it if it's super fresh. She was craving oysters that day so I searched Google Maps for high rating/reviews for fresh oysters and Kaisen had decent reviews for oysters but also some 1 & 2 stars. We hurriedly drove to the restaurant late afternoon, there was no one in the restaurant yet. Ordered oyster shots, smoke duck meat, some nigiri, mushroom soup and half dozen fresh oysters + a few other apps. The mushroom soup was very good and smoke duck was very tasty, somehow the fresh oysters did not come out first like usual. The 2 oyster shots came out, looked pretty but tasted just ok. The nigiris and poke salad was not as fresh as we expected. Other appetizers came. Then the long awaited half dozen oysters came out... As you can see in the photos, there were dark sauce all around the oysters for some reason, we should of known better. I offered one to my wife... She gulped it down happily then made a face. I tried one and immediately shook my head for disapproval. We each tried another thinking maybe it's just bad luck and it just got worse, I almost puked. It seemed like these oysters were taken out of the fridge for days then re-frozen. Still giving the Kaisen 2 stars for nice atmosphere (it's rare to see traditional wooden seating arrangements) and decent service but We will NEVER come back to this restaurant, Banned for life on our list! Unless other oyster reviews pop up being 5 stars

I had take out, but the atmosphere was nice, but while I sat and waited for my order I wasn't offered water which would have been nice. Also my lion king rolls were way pricy. I paid 40 for 2 small rolls. I don't think I'll go back.

Food was delicious. The tuna sashimi was so great. Our server was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, and had a lot of features that feel just like little sushi restaurants in Japan.
Amazing food, very nice staff, best seafood experience ever in my life so far. 😁 Thanks!

Food is just okay. Fish didn’t taste fresh. No service, after finishing meal, waited 10 minutes with an empty glass water, the waitress never bothered to come by. I had to go pay at the counter myself. Not busy on a Sunday night.

Very expensive but good food. For context, I brought my son for his 25th birthday. We had 9 people, all 17+ years old and _no_ alcohol was ordered. The bill for 9 people with automatic tip came out to be $390 or $44/person.
With that out of the way, we had a good experience. The waitress was very gentle and patient. The place has nice decoration and Japanese architecture.. at least it reminds me of one which is a nice plus on the ambience. We sat at the upper platform so that part is not wheelchair accessible.
They have both menu book and also QR code so you can see what the food looks like. The raw stuff were fresh. Photos shows the things we ordered and everyone loved it. Since it's very expensive, we only come here on very special occasion and this is my 3rd visit in 2 years.
Yes I would go back again.

For two, I ordered the pork belly skewers, pork gyoza, and the bacon wrapped enoki to start. Then got the sushi tray A. Everything hit the spot and was delicious! The servers also went above and beyond and were very nice throughout the night.
I really enjoyed the ambiance of this restaurant. Its warm, cozy, and can be seen as romantic in a sense. I would highly recommend the sushi trays for 2 people! Its just enough food and the cuts are much larger than other sushi restaurants. 10/10

Location is tucked into a hidden street near the dealerships and Marina outlets. Small, yet private parking lot which I feel like is rare to find in this area! The restaurant was beautiful, and I'm upset that I wasn't able to take any pictures while I was inside. Most tables from what I saw were for two seats but I saw atleast one semi-private tatami-style (I believe that what it's called) group seating area which I thought was cool! My sister got the shoyu ramen (typically isn't available during lunchtime when we went, but our host made an exception for us since my sister has ordered it prior and enjoyed it!!), I got the Combo A, and we shared edamame, fruit sake flight, and tempura roll. Everything was so delicious! Fish was fresh, rice was cooked perfectly, and tempura was crunchy. I believe l've doordashed from this place before, but I'm lucky to have finally visited in person. I wasn't able to get the name of our server, but the lady with the short pink hair gave my sister and I amazing service! Periodically checked in on us making sure we had enough water and making sure everything was tasting good. The lovely service we received was the main thing that motivated me to leave this review. My sister and I visited around 2pm on a Saturday which is typically prime lunchtime, but the restaurant was practically empty apart from three other groups that were in and out during the time we were there. I truly hope this isn't the normal, because this place deserves as much love as I'm giving it! I recently came back from a month-long trip to Japan, and this experience brought me right back to it. The quality of this place was on-par to what I ate back in Tokyo and Osaka. For sure my favorite place l've tried in the east bay, and possibly even the entire bay area. I will for sure be back here!
