I found authentic sushiya in Bay area!
I went here for the first time and I enjoyed my dinner. They have great selections day by day with special fishes that I’ve never tried before.
Everything were very fresh and price were reasonable. I will definitely come back later to try different seasonal fishes.

Dash is no joke! Each plate was out in under 5 minutes after ordering. And each dish was thoughtfully plated, fresh, high-quality, leaving us wanting more.
Fish tasted fresh, and all the ones we tried had a different flavor profile. The peach shirome was interesting and refreshing, we were huge fans. We absolutely loved the oysters! To quote my boyfriend, “this might be one of the best oysters I’ve ever had.” Great blend of flavors with the lemon and roe and sauce. Not pictured are the shishito peppers which were good, but actually pretty spicy which shocked us a bit.
We sat at the bar and the sushi chef was very attentive to us. As we were ordering with the waitress, the chef would hear our order and get started immediately. Staff also came around to refill my hot tea at least three times. The space is quite deceiving since it looks small on the outside but there is an entire back area that might be better for larger groups.

Food was really good quality but the best thing about our experience was our server, Erica, who was knowledgeable about the menu and provided recommendations based on our preferences. 10 out of 10 would come back because of her.
We happened to stumble upon this place only because another establishment was fully booked. It was definitely a blessing in disguise.

Casual spot with some less-common menu items and good service. I’d be open to coming again and trying more, but I didn’t love what we ordered. The Top Secret was probably our favorite, followed by the ikura ankimo though that’s worth the price in my opinion. I liked the broth of the oden but the solid food it comes with is 90% fish cakes so it gets repetitive. The stuffed mushrooms were not my thing - the mushroom was too chewy to pair with the imitation crab.
Fantastic place for quick bite and drinks. Nice small plates, balancing traditional and innovations.
Love it ~
