8 Best Sushi Bars in Hayward

“I came here on a reservation as this restaurant is incredibly small. There are only 2 tables that can hold a group of 4 each, maybe 2-3 tables that can seat 2 people, and a couple seats at the chefs counter. I heard the server quote a wait time of 1.5 hours to a group who had come in without a reservation looking for a table of 4, so make sure you make a reservation! After ordering, it takes quite a long time for the chefs to make your sushi, I think we waited around 30 minutes? But that's because everything was cut and made fresh. Make sure you have good company to chat with or else the wait will bore you!For a group of 3, we got 2 nigiri combos, 1 sashimi combo, 1 spicy salmon maki roll, 1 negi hama hosomaki roll.1. Nigiri combo - 8/10. This was a great value for for only $25! You can pick 7 nigiris as well as a chef's choice maki roll. I really enjoyed the Kanpachi, Kurodai, and Ika because they torched the top for some smokey flavor. Our maki roll of the day was the salmon & shiso hosomaki which had a hint of perilla leaf flavor! For the amount paid, it was definitely worth it!2. Spicy salmon maki roll - 9/10. This isn't your standard spicy salmon roll where they mince the salmon with some spice. These are strips of whole salmon so you really get to taste the meaty parts of the salmon. It was my favorite dish of the night!3. Negi hama hosomaki roll - 6/10. We all didn't think much of it. It was pretty bland and I thought that the rice in the roll overpowered the fish. It is a pretty light fish in the first place, so you won't be able to taste it much.Overall a great choice if you want some cheap and beautifully presented sushi! The menu is relatively simple and small“

“I was craving sushi so I came to naked fish. I ordered two rolls, a philadelphia roll (you know a familiar favorite, it was excellent) and a Jackson roll (super duper delicious). They were both so good and fresh! I had to order a third which was the iron Man roll. Excellent excellent excellent. Service is spectacular. Super nice people, super chill atmosphere. Nice contemporary art. feels like a homie place. I will be back soon to try out the kitchen foods!“

“We have ordered "to go" in the past and decided to check the restaurant. It was cozy and clean. We ordered Bentos and a couple of rolls (Rainbow, Blossom)The food was delicious!Currently our top Sushi spot in Hayward ?? Parking: There are multiple free parking garages that make it easy to walk to the restaurant.“

“One of my favorite Japanese spots in Hayward. Kinda hidden on a side street.I love that they let me order salmon sashimi in the bento box, and I can have it with salmon teriyaki for even more salmon! Very tasty. They've got a double salmon sushi roll that my 7yo daughter loves, because I've apparently gotten her hooked on eating too much salmon as well haha. My sushi-disliking husband doesn't mind coming here either because they've got a variety of other things for him, like beef teriyaki and udon bowls.The service is pretty minimal, but not unfriendly. The server just tends to disappear and is pretty quiet. They're part of the Together For Hayward program, so if you can snag one of the limited-time deals on those gift certificates, the already low prices here are even better.“

“I came here for lunch for 2 and it was great! All the fish was really fresh and tasty. The service was fast, though maybe because I was 1 of 4 parties there that weekday. My wife just wanted to order a bunch of lion king rolls, but said that something tasted not quite like her favorite lion king rolls, but other than that, we thought it was all great!“

“Sapporo serves some of the best Udon noodle I have had anywhere. The sushi is very fresh and well prepared. The panko breaded tempura is outstanding. Our server is always knowledgeable and friendly. We love the low key and welcoming vibe here. The price is right for the quality of the food. We dine here as often as we can when in the area.Parking: Parking lot is behind the restaurant“

“Ordered one of their bento boxes with 3 items: chicken kara-age, California roll and tempura wings. The roll was really good, the kara-age was ok and the wings were really good. It also came with miso soup and salad both of which were good!“

“I was going to eat here Sunday April 7th but they were closed. Then I saw a sign that said they were going to be closed for a week. Today Tuesday April 16, 2024, now over a week since I saw that sign, it was still closed. This time there was a sign that said something to the effect to all our loyal customers, after 20 years it has come to an end. I didn't get out of my car and I was not that close so I didn't read everything. But from what I thought I saw and read on the sign on their door, I guess this place is closed. I think I didn't want to get out of my car and read it carefully, because I want to think it is not closing. Then as I was on Hesperian driving away, there was a banner on the side of restaurant facing Hesperian and it was advertising a buffet during lunch so I was not sure if they had buffets during lunch as I had not dined there for lunch and I don't remember seeing it when I went for dinner a few weeks ago. The drawing of the food on the sign looked like Asian Food. I am bummed, it was my go to sushi place, so I will miss it. Well I came back again today to read the sign .“
