16 Best Japanese Restaurants in San Leandro

“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.“

“As soon as you walk in you notice the cute interior. I love the aesthetic of the tables and vibe feels similar to mom and pop places I've been to in Japan except the lighting is nicer here.

Pretty orderly service, s/o to the one person waitress running the counter and tables and one person in the kitchen.

Foodwise, place smacks. Been here 2 times in the last 2 years. The quality of dishes I got are on par with overseas both times. Got the kaarage uson set and tofu soba. Mild flavors, but I love that nothing is over-seasoned it's just right imo.“

“This is one of the best restaurants around!! It is so awesome, we drove all the way from Tracy. The minute we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful genuine smile and a welcoming hello. Customer service is dead, but NOT here! The food is fresh, fast and DELICIOUS!!! I am sitting here full and STILL eating! I ordered the teriyaki chicken and beef bento box. Perfect amount of sauce and comes with FRESH SOFT white rice, soup, salad and two pot stickers. My amazing spectacular husband ordered sushi. Tfe presentation was fab and the fish was flavorful and fresh. If you have not stopped in for a very pleasant and delicious meal, you MUST! Oh yes, the prices are just right and you receive a filling portion!; Take it from me, an actual doctor, this is fresh and healthy at an affordable price!; sorry about the pictures.. . We are it too quickly!!😀“

“I have been going here for years. They have some of the best rolls in town. I always get the dragon roll, E14th roll, and the crunchy roll. So very yummy 😋“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and fantastic service. The sushi was incredibly fresh, with every roll expertly crafted. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was stunning. The ambiance was relaxed yet chic, offering a comfortable space to enjoy a great meal. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“The service provided by Michael, Vincent, and Jacqy is a shining exemplar of excellence that motivates and captivates. Their warm, efficient, and delightful demeanor elevates the dining experience, rendering every bite a sublime masterpiece. I am ecstatic to bestow upon them and this restaurant a well-deserved Five-Star rating for their outstanding hospitality and cuisine. Thank you again, gentlemen! PS. My hope is for the establishment owner to acknowledge the exceptional caliber of his team, from the kitchen to the dining, as they are truly the linchpin behind this restaurant's success and reputation.“

“the.staff.is friendly. Food is fresh and tasty!!“

“The food was great and the staff was really nice“

“First time and it was very good light on the stomach n refreshing. I will be back and recommend it . Yum I'll be back“

“I tried their Poki Bowl and was very happy with it. The ingredients were very fresh and the portions were big. The one thing I really loved about this place was the friendly service. They lady taking my order was a bundle of happiness. I will definitely be going back here again.“

“Best sushi for cheap around“

“Stopped by for lunch at 2pm and plenty of seating inside. I used the self order kiosk on the table, which made ordering a breeze. The sushi rolls came out in about 8-10 minutes and they were huge rolls.

I typically eat two, but I coule barely finish these. They were incredibly filling and each roll was less than $12, which is a great deal in 2024. Service was excellentand I really enjoyed the meal. I get work done on my car across the street often, so i'll be stopping by whenever i'm in the area from now on.

Parking: It seems like there are about 12 or so spots, but also plenty of parjing along E.14th in front of the restaurant, as well as the side street which crosses it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of access for wheelchairs.“

“niceplace and the fish is every fresh“

“I would call it like - the chipotle of Poke Bowls lol

But

It was a little confusing how to order. I just grabbed a set bowl they had. I'm not picky about food and I enjoyed every bite.

I do wish the space was cleaner. As a business owner I didn't always have the cleanest spaces and I recognize that in hindsight and this is kind of the thing that even if you didn't want to dine in, sticks out like a sore thumb

That's why often I take photos of my reciept and the bathroom of spaces for my reviews.

Poke for thought.

I would come back but understanding that they probably don't have the freshes and best cuts but in a pinch it satisfies my poke need some“

“I went to the location on 73rd Ave and uggghhhhh im so happy I did!!! I got a steak and shrimp burrito and that yum yum sauce is DELICIOUS (a little watery but still delicious)!! If you wanna try something different with a lil Asian flare this is it!!! I can eat those veggies all day!!!

Ill definitely be back!!!“
