14 Best Japanese Restaurants in San Leandro

“The imitation crab tastes incredible!!

The chicken katsu was sadly overcooked.

But the simplicity of the bento boxes is quite striking.

The atmosphere though, the music was a bit too loud and only coming from one corner rather than the whole place.“

“Kaisen Don is a true joy. Owned and led by a trained chef from Japan and served by friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have a wide selection of food, not just sushi. They have a very good selection of Sake and beer and offer three sample flights of Sake to let you learn more about the drink. You can always ask for recommendations to go with your meal. We've eaten in and taken out and have never had a bad meal from Kaisen Don. They are a regular stop for my family, and we take friends and family there from time to time as well.“

“Really nice hole in the wall, the california rolls actually had real flavor in them, which is rare. My server was david, he was very nice and fast, i witnessed a doordasher be unkind and he still didnt skip a beat and kept his attitude kind. If youre in the area give it a try“

“If you're craving for Japanese in San Leandro or anywhere in the East Bay, this is the spot. Open late night is a fantastic bonus! The quality of food for a place open past 10pm was a great surprise.
The huge menu has something for everyone. Sashimi, specialty sushi rolls, nigiri, ramen, tempura, bento combos, and yakatori! And plenty of beer and sake to wash it all down.“

“Angry Fish has become our go to sushi spot. The value to food ratio is immense and the fish quality is a step above most other sushi places at a similar price point. Also their happy hour and rolls are quite a bit more creative than your standard fare. Highly recommend. Staff is also great“

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

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

“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.“

“Amazing food and great presentation! We ordered several sushi rolls, poke bowls, takoyaki, and fried appetizers, and everything was fresh and delicious.

The salmon was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the poke bowls were packed with high-quality ingredients. The avocado rolls were creamy and well-balanced, while the takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The fried items were perfectly cooked and not greasy at all.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for fresh sushi and tasty Japanese food. We will definitely come back!

Recommended: Salmon rolls, Poke Bowls, Takoyaki, Avocado Rolls, and Fried Shrimp.“

“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!!!
