14 Best Japanese Restaurants in San Leandro

“My friend and I came for lunch, and we had a lovely afternoon. I got a poke bowl that was fresh, filling, and flavorful. My friend had a gorgeous sushi roll and miso soup. I ordered the house sale hot, and she got hot tea. The service was prompt and friendly without being overbearing. The overall vibe was popping over to a friend’s house and they just happen to have banging Japanese food. It was also a great value. I plan to come here again for sure.“

“We had a Lion King Roll (this was baked so was a bit surprised but it was good), tonkatsu donburi, and a 2-item bento (beef teriyaki and tempura). Good value bento box…good sized portions and tasty (really enjoyed the salad which had a delicious creamy sesame dressing). My wife enjoyed the donburi which I had a bite of and thought it was delicious. We will be back to try other things on the menu.“

“I am tourist here and this was the nearest sushi place near my Airbnb.
Food as good, the girl who served me was not warm at all. The moment I walked in she looked confused if she should serve me or not maybe because I was alone.
I loved the food. Green tea ice cream not so much. I wanted a bottle of water to take back to my Airbnb but they didn’t have any which is fine. I asked the girl where can I find a bottle of water near by “she said I don’t know” I paid my tab and walked out and saw hundreds of stores who sell bottle of water . Being a tourist I would have appreciated a little courtesy of just saying “ hey you can get water down the street” I wasn’t asking for much. But anyways I am glad I tipped her only $3.“

“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 😋“

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

“Really tasty and affordable food! I've ordered the lunch and dinner bento special a few times. Their website and hours are a little confusing though. I wanted to order food on a Monday afternoon and all the delivery apps say they're closed.“

“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“

“This place is a hidden gem! The rolls are HUGE! They use real crab inside their rolls and the fish is SO GOOD! I wish this place was closer to where I live, I'd go every day! The prices are extremely reasonable, even cheaper than the average. How this place only has 4 stars is beyond me. This place deserves 5 stars easily! We had the tempura chicken bento box, rainbow roll, Spicey tuna roll, Lion King roll, 2pc sashimi salmon & 2pc yellow tail. Everything was AMAZING QUALITY!“

“This place doesn't look like much from the outside but, the food is great. The portions are plentiful and the price unlike most Japanese restaurants are very reasonable. I have been coming here for years and the quality has remained consistent. I love this place!“

“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!!!“
