50 Best Sushi Bars near San Ramon

“Friendly staff, pleasant ambiance, fresh seafood“

“Everything is fresh. Very nice presentation.“

“BEST TERIYAKI CHICKEN!! Great food! Great service!“

“The store was very busy — thankfully management had all checkout lines open. Wait was minimal and checkers we very friendly. Selection was nice and store was clean. Would be nice to have better selection in cheese dept. selection was limited carrying average quality cheese. Not the higher quality selection of cheeses used to seeing at other best foods.“

“Chose to come here on a spontaneous Wednesday night and ordered the nigiri and sashimi boat for our table of 3. We could see the chefs carefully crafting the boat while we enjoyed some of their appetizers. Food and service was amazing!! One of the servers saw us playing a game on our phones and striked up a conversation with us, he was so incredible friendly. Will definitely come back again!!“

“Excellent quality healthy and authentic Japanese food at affordable prices. Service is fast (usually 10-15 minutes wait, but sometimes only 5!) And the place is very clean.

Very good spot for a date, or lunch/dinner with your parents. Also a great everyday lunch spot. I try to eat here once a week at least - when I need a healthy meal Asian style.

My favorite is the miso soup and side salad, add a rice and it's under $10. There are many food options in the $10-15 range for a full meal. My favorite soup is the vegetable udon noodle soup. I also like that they have soda pop available with no artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup, so I can enjoy a soda sometimes without feeling too guilty about it.

The sushi is also great, and the teriyaki dishes yummy.

Best overall restaurant for healthy Asian food that isn't expensive and you can eat here any day, their open for business hours are consistent.“

“We had a great experience the food is fresh and the steak is tender the salmon was just right. Your recommendation is forwarded to Facebook“

“This staple of the San Ramon food culture is still incredible. The service is fast, friendly, and accurate. The food (appetizers, rolls, and nigiri/sashimi) are fresh, delicious and prepared with care. The location is convenient and there’s plenty of parking. I will continue to happily give this place my business, and if you’re looking for the best sushi place in the whole area, you’ve found it. 10/10 will definitely go again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite!

We had an incredible Omakase experience at this unassuming gem in Castro Valley, and it truly exceeded all expectations. The service was a perfect 10/10 — the host was extremely attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening.

The food was exceptional — fresh, beautifully composed, and full of thoughtful flavors that worked harmoniously together. Each course felt intentional and elevated, showcasing top-notch quality without the pretentiousness.

And the dessert? Unforgettable. The Hojicha panna cotta was an absolute standout — silky, flavorful, and the perfect ending to a phenomenal meal.

Overall, this place easily gets 100 out of 100 from us. If you’re looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and a truly memorable dining experience, this is the spot. A must-visit in Castro Valley! 🍣✨“

“Great affordable sushi that’s actually delicious is a rare combo. Usually you get one or the other.

We picked up some before heading to the park and everything was wonderful. The headship guy and I believe her name was Anna was really friendly. They even made my wife a Nigiri roll that was not on the menu. That’s memorable and great service!

Definitely a gem in Danville and I will surely be back!“

“The food, music, customer service, and ambiance is TOP TIER!! My go to is the sunshine and poki me roll! Tried the mystery box and it was a pleasant surprise! Whoever was on aux 9/20/25 plz send me your playlist lol. As always, Angryfish is *chef's kiss*“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ikoi Sushi is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the area. The fish is unbelievably fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with so much care. Every bite feels like it was made to order just for you.

If you’re looking for quality sushi at a place that truly values both its food and its guests, Ikoi Sushi is a gem you don’t want to miss. I’ll definitely be back again!“

“My favorite sushi restaurant! I used to drive out to Emeryville to get their sushi. It's delicious and you can taste the freshness. So glad they opened a place closer to home. I ordered the nigiri combo to go and they had it ready when I got there. Wait staff are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them!“

“Delicious and definitely fulfilled our sushi craving. I highly recommend Pocket Sushi no chopsticks required easy to eat, full of flavor, and so pretty to look at. I stopped by after work to pick up a few different types of pockets, the service was great and the food was fresh and made quickly. I waited no more then ten minutes for them to make my six item order and they brought it out to my car which was also very nice. We will for sure be back for more!“

“Our new favorite Sushi place. Have been here a few times and never been disappointed. Service is excellent and in comparison to our previous regular which is nearby, we found this is to be less expensive, better tasting and generous portions. Definitely a must try if you want to deviate from your regular for a change.“

“Super friendly and delicious….“

“This place is such a hidden gem. The sushi is incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The caviar just melts in your mouth, and the rolls are perfectly balanced.

It’s got a cozy, unassuming vibe, and the service is super friendly without being overbearing. It feels like one of those spots you want to keep to yourself but also can’t wait to tell your friends about. Definitely worth checking out if you love good sushi!“

“We ate here on a random Monday. Just happen to be walking by. Bonus points for a sushi restaurant being open on a Monday! Restaurant was quiet and cozy. We tried a few appetizers and had bento boxes. Everything we tried was amazing! From the Sushi to the medium rare teriyaki To the tempura my favorite gyoza! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be going back“

“House of Sake in Walnut Creek is an absolute comfort spot with phenomenal quality sushi! Every dish we tried was a delightful experience. The Spicy Holly Roll stood out with its bold, smoky flavors and scrumptious layers—an absolute must-try. The Godzilla Roll was a petite masterpiece, with a beautifully crafted tempura shell that was perfectly crisp and evenly dispersed.

The Cherry Blossom Roll was another highlight, boasting a clean, fresh flavor and a stunning presentation that was almost too pretty to eat. We also enjoyed the Negihama Cut Roll (yellowtail and green onion) and the New Orleans Roll (spicy tuna cut roll)—both incredibly fresh and satisfying. The creative names for these simple yet perfectly executed rolls added a fun touch to the meal.

Every bite hit the spot, and the attention to detail in both flavor and presentation is second to none. Highly recommend House of Sake for anyone seeking exceptional sushi and a memorable dining experience!“

“Definitely will go back. We enjoyed my husband's birthday dinner. Great food, fast service and best customer service!“

“My daughter and I love this place...not just the food, but the restaurant atmosphere and staff as well. We come here once a month after school pick up and sit at the sushi bar in the early afternoon...the chef is great and the atmosphere is fun, and if that wasn't enough there the portions are fantastic, too...“

“One of my favorite sushi spots across California!! Really good quality sushi, fantastic rolls with great presentation. Service is always great. Honestly, some of the best you can get at a standard sushi place that’s not some high end spot (tbh better than many “high end” spots.)“

“Last Friday evening our party of 8 celebrated a warm and jubilant birthday, early Father’s Day party. From our arrival to our leaving the entire staff greeted us like family. All of our appetizers, Sushi-Rolls, were delicious! We all loved our Entrees-our seafood was expertly prepared!
Blue Sakana is “Our Special Place”…“

“Tiny, simple restaurant on a quiet part of the street .. easy to miss, but DONT MISS THIS RESTAURANT! Simply amazing food, a fantastic value for money as well.

Jeanette is on top of the service. The service is fast.

Quiet atmosphere, not the fancy kind of quiet where you’d need to whisper to each other. It’s a good family place.

We order the bento box with two or three choices depending on how hungry we are. The salad and rice that comes with it is a good serving for one person.“

“Simply Wonderful. I recommend them, and will visit them again.“

“Freshest fish....my favorite local sushi place!! They have great specials and the staff“

“Loved this place, but removing a star because they took the teriyaki salmon option off the menu. Strange, because everyone loved it and it was often sold out! The raw fish is hit or miss. Bring back the teriyaki!

My roommates and I check doordash every week or so, just to see if they have Salmon Samba.“

“Finally decided to order from here. Checked out the reviews. Most were pretty dated. Settled on the titanic roll and spicy chicken ramen. The titanic roll was Amazing!! It was fresh, hot, big enough to split (I didn't). Flavor was on point. Don't really remember a crunchy component but I wouldnt hesitate to order it again.The spicy ramen on the other hand was extremely subpar. Great portion size for the price, but the broth was flavorless. The chicken was definitely dark meat. The veggies and ramen were overcooked. Chicken bouillon, salt and red pepper flakes were a must to achieve the flavor I was looking for.“

“Good food, friendly service, fun times. But when your table is done, move your crew along so others can also enjoy it!! We waited extensively even with a reservation. It stresses the staff and the system and prevents the restaurant from serving more patrons!“

“Food is amazing, prices are reasonable, service is amazing!!!

Only 4 stars because the seating is a nightmare—it’s way too small and you can hear everyone’s conversations, it’s very uncomfortable to eat in.

Everything else is stellar!!“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“One of our go-to places with super friendly staff which always goes the extra mile to make us feel welcomed, seen and appreciated.

The Food - especially their Dinner Special - is great, portion sizes just right, different options and still assembled and delivered to the table within minutes of ordering. And both Nigiri and Sashimi have sizable chunks of Fish and well prepared!

Kid-friendliness: Servers interact wonderfully with the kids, recommending suitable food and engaging with them in conversations. There are often families with Kids here, a testament to their appeal.“

“This restaurant just became my favourite Japanese restaurant in the area. We ordered two lunch combo with Katsu, Beef Teriyaki and Deep fried gyoza. First came complimentary miso soup once we sat down. Very thoughtful. Lunch combo start at $14.50 and $1 to $4 extra depending on what you order. Food was served in an efficient manner. They even gave us 6 dumplings on the house. Katsu was good. Not too much coating. Teriyaki wasn’t too sweet. Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a very good experience.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Pleasanton. The prices are unbeatable and the quality of the food is very high. The $14 bento is great value as well, and the portions on all of the items are pretty generous.

I've been here many times in the past, and the quality is always consistent. The service isn't perfect but it's usually pretty fast. It's also usually not very busy during dinner.“

“Some of the best sushi in the East Bay, and one of the best sushi chefs, Jack san,“

“Good food, good service and value for money!“

“Great service. The Staff is always friendly and polite. Best sushi in Town.“

“Thank you Evie and all the staff for making our boys grad night dinner so special!! If you have not tried this place out you need too!! Amazing suchi and yummy Tao Tacos!!“

“Just wrapped up an early dinner at Taro Sushi and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We ordered the eight-piece sashimi, the Prospect Roll, and the Katsu—and every single dish was excellent. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and beautifully plated, the Prospect Roll had the perfect balance of texture and flavor, and the Katsu was crispy, juicy, and comforting.

Service was warm and attentive, and the whole vibe of the restaurant felt relaxed and family-friendly—perfect for an early evening out.
Taro is a gem in Danville. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent food. Excellent service. Decent price“

“Freshest seafood with great service.“

“OMG. I’m a sushi lover and this is my new favorite lunch spot. Happened to be in the area for lunch, which just happens to be their happy hour! We ordered one of everything on the happy hour menu and were BLOWN AWAY. Soooo good, we ordered 2nds of most of the items. Floored how good the oyster mushroom tempura on their HH menu is. Like. Chef’s kiss! All of the fish items in HH were top shelf. So good, we ended up ordering multiples. Staff was so helpful and happy. Can’t wait to come back.“

“love it here! good food. staff is nice“

“I have been coming here for almost 14 years. And I would not change this japanese restaurant for another. Ambiance, food price, friendliness the taste of the food is wonderful. Like my mom always says : bueno, bonito y barata. Good, wonderful, comfortable prices. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“It’s a very clean restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the serving is huge. Very polite staff.“

“Outstanding! Always…… Dave Y. You’re just a Karen. Everything about RJ’s is fantastic. If anyone doesn’t like RJ’s, they have much greater hurdles to deal with and simply can’t find the good in anything. Hats off to the staff, the owner and the regulars.“

“Excellent food … excellent service“
