“KOKO Izakaya & Oyster House was a good spot for a quick Sunday lunch, especially if you’re craving sushi. The restaurant was quite busy, which created a lively atmosphere. We ordered a few sushi rolls, miso soup, and seaweed salad. While the presentation wasn’t particularly impressive, the food was fresh and met our expectations. The miso soup was simple but comforting, and the kids really enjoyed it. The seaweed salad was fresh, and the sushi tasted good with generous portions of fish.

The service was decent overall, although we had to get our server’s attention a few times since he wasn’t checking in on our table very often. It wasn’t a bad experience, but a little more attentiveness would have made the meal more enjoyable.

Overall, if you’re looking for a casual place to satisfy a sushi craving without expecting anything fancy, KOKO Izakaya & Oyster House is worth a visit. The food was enjoyable, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere despite being busy, and we’d consider stopping by again when we’re in the area.“

“Fugetsu is a world wide chain of okonomiyaki. In fact, Rokko/Fugetsu has the first location of Fugetsu in the whole US.

Always a good vibe here and possibly the only place to get okonomiyaki in the Bay Area like they do it in Japan. Huge menu and drink selection with the shared Rokko and Fugetsu menu. I like the okonomiyaki sampler a ton as well. Portions are huge for this dish and everything else on the menu.“

“Absolutely loved this place! All the skewers we tried were delicious, especially the grilled shrimp and quail eggs — definitely my favorites. The izakaya atmosphere is super cozy and relaxing, which made the whole experience even better. The staff were also incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. I really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back again!“

“Beautiful tasty sushi! But it's also a bit expensive. I don't recommend the avacado maki but the calafornia roll with real crab meat is very nice. Come on Tuesday dinner and it's been a bit slow. But the waitresses handled it well by offering us some edamame for free.“

“Came here for lunch before my movie. Went with the Katana Special, the nigiri, sashimi, and Ultra California Roll were really good. I didn’t try any of the cooked rolls since I prefer raw fish, but I can tell everything was fresh. A good spot, will definitely return!“

“My first time here. I was hungry so that always makes things taste good. And I also asked the server her recommendation. But I've eaten some fancy sushi and this place was just as good if not better (!). The special roll shaped like a flower was beautiful and fresh. Amazing raw tuna (I think?). The baked roll was the perfect amount of spice for me. And they are open 'til 9, praise be.... Probably my new favorite. Lovely atmosphere for a single diner on Monday night in September.“

“Enjoyed my quick lunch to Bay Sushi. I finally had time to go during their special hours. Pretty packed but seated fast. Miso was so yum, I love how they make it; broth wasn’t too watery and was the perfect temp to slurp it down. Served quickly with my lunch bento. Tempura was crunchy and the dipping sauce made it savory. Gyoza was crisp and the filling was yum. Great price and wonderful service.“

“Saw the add on Facebook and it looked good so came to try it my self. The chicken teriyaki was well cooked with that sweet flavor and the veggies were very tasty. They have great customer service and bathroom available for customers. The lipton tea was great. I had the large chicken teriyaki. Yummy!“

“After Baylands Park, we were interested in finding a place for lunch. My wife has been here for work lunch before transitioning to fully remote years ago. My wife recognized the waitress/owner so she already knows the food here is good. Instead of the usual ramen (which are delicious by the way), we opted for the pork combo rice and beef noodle dishes. My autistic son loved it and I'm happy he went out of his comfort zone to try new things.“
