This is our favorite sushi spot in the East Bay. I don't go often because of the expense but the sushi is always high quality and doesn't disappoint. There is free parking, the waitstaff is prompt and nice and we get seated right away.

Some of the freshest sushi I've had in the bay, and the staff were super friendly. Loved the hamachi and salmon nigiri and sashimi in particular, as well as the estudillo roll. Will definitely come back!

This place is amazing. The prices are well worth the freshness and the vibes. 100% worth it for happy hour. I will be returning to this place every time I visit Oakland. So long as they are open late!

As a Japanese food lover for over 20 years, my migraine deprived me of my enjoyment of Japanese food because it might contain dashi, an ingredient that has the same chemical as MSG. Kaisen Don took my question about dashi seriously and made sure to...Read More

Delicious! Hamachi collar, Marina roll, and Donburi was fire. Def a little more pricey but the fish was fresh and the traditional seating (shoes off, sitting on the floor) was cute for date night. Will be back!

Beautiful setting for the freshest sushi in the area. We loved our chirashi bowls for lunch, and service was lovely. 1 star only for forever making me thinking of their melt in your mouth toro that I have not been able to find elsewhere ;)

The sushi was delicious, nigiri was some of the best I’ve ever had. The design of the restaurant is nice, the waitress super attentive and friendly. The owner is there making the sushi and he’s super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come again.
