Ultima M.

First time here. There is a private parking lot Customer service is friendly, restaurant is clean and there are a few tables inside to sit down and enjoy your meal I ordered fried oysters with fries and a shrimp burger. Food is made as ordered Fried oysters are really good. Crispy on the outside with a good flavor Shrimp burger consist of fried small shrimp on the inside with mayo sauce and lettuce Prices are reasonable They do have an extensive menu and also offer catering No beer or wine served I would totally come back and try the Salmon burger consist

Clam Chowder + 2. Salmon Teriyaki and Shrimp Special Combo
Darin T.

Pretty solid seafood spot with sushi rolls, fried seafood, poke and a little bit for everyone. I got the fried shrimp and teriyaki salmon special which was pretty good. The salmon was a little overcooked and dry but overall was tasty and I'd get it again. The clam chowder needed more clams but the flavor was there. Overall, pretty good value and a welcome addition to the East Bay.

Soft shelled crab & spicy salmon poke
Sandy Q.

I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'll drop by to order lunch. I ordered a soft shelled crab burger and the spicy salmon poke. When I opened the lid of the burger container, I thought I was getting this huge sandwich but it turns out, only the bun was huge. The crab barely had any meat and the were a few slivers of onions and a thin piece of lettuce. I tasted more bread than anything else. The only thing I enjoyed from eating the burger was the sauce. It was tangy which cut off the greasiness from the fried soft shelled crab. As for the spicy salmon poke, I thought the portions were pretty skimpy but the salmon was fresh.

Spicy Salmon Poke  105. California Roll Fish Ceviche
Valerie K.

Found this place via other Yelp reviews as I was looking for a new poke spot to try out. I'm giving this place a 3 star because the dishes I ordered were okay. I liked that it was grab and go style and they have seating if you decide you want to eat in. I got the fish ceviche and the spicy salmon poke as well as California roll. My kiddo liked her California roll, I didn't get to try any. The spicy salmon poke was good and decent price for amount you get. I did add some soy sauce and wasabi with the spicy salmon poke and that made it so much better. I didn't enjoy the fish ceviche though I wasn't sure what type of fish it was but it had a very fishy taste to it. I wish it was more citrus flavor to it. The customer service was awesome though! I would go back to try their burgers and other dishes for sure.

212. Pink Salmon Roll
Jeff N.

I can't get enough of this place! I've been to many sushi restaurants and this place delivers a high level of quality for a "grocery" style sushi. The fish to rice ratio is perfect. Parking is plenty, lots of seafood to choose from, and the catering looks delish Service is neat and there's good enough seating to enjoy a lunch here.

403. Hamachi Sashimi

We picked this up on Mother's Day around 5pm. We came here to pick up poke occasionally but it's first time ordering sashimi. First, the color of this hamachi looks off. Second, if you don't know how to cut sashimi, then don't offer it. It is super thin...and nothing looks like sashimi, the shape is thin rectangular, look more like shabu pork... Owner please provide feedback

Spicy Salmon Poke ($8), California Roll ($4.50)
Melanie H.

I've been to the original location in SF, so it's cool to see Basa in CV! Same concept, no frills, grab and go. While convenient, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for. The highlight here is their poke, which in my opinion is only "cheap" because the trays are very shallow. Think of it being the equivalent of maybe 1.5-2 scoops of poke at a normal shop. I do wish the fish was a bit fresher in taste as I had some chunks that didn't go down well. I would recommend getting the poke only as part of a combo or with an accompanying roll to actually be a meal. RECS: + California roll ($4.50) was surprisingly really good! Rice was cooked well and imitation crab was perfect. Easily my favorite over the poke + Spicy salmon ($8) had good flavor, better than I remembered. The sriracha definitely comes through as does other savory, umami flavors

Shoyu Salmon Poke
Christine L.

Their fish is super fresh and if I were to come back, it would solely be for their poke! I ordered shoyu salmon with a side of rice. The poke was great, but the rice wasn't sushi rice. I think it was jasmine rice and it was on the drier side. I think this would be a good place to grab your proteins, but just get it to go and make your own rice and toppings at home. And also as a side note, the pieces of fish were cut in a measly way (as in they weren't really cubes and kind of scrappy, so presentation and mouthfeel wise it wasn't great).

Fresh salmon poke w/wasabi sauce

Stopped by earlier to get our facorites: Seafood Combo (basa fish, oysters, prawns & fries) as well as basa fish & fries. Tried the salmon poke for the 1st time , wasabi was an additional $1. Service was quick as we called in our order. Yummilicious

1. Poke Special Combo
Jamie Z.

I'm a big fan of their SF location and had a chance to come by in October for a friend's weekend wedding nearby. Conveniently located on a main road, Castro Valley Blvd, we easily found parking at their lot. Upon entering, the shop is bright, vibrant and clean. Their order counter is right at the entrance to order first, and they have a few tables inside. Good for small groups. Their Poke Special Combo comes with your choice of shoyu/spicy tuna or salmon, rice, seaweed salad and water. I ordered the spicy salmon and thought it was great! Fresh, well seasoned and really hit the spot. Highly recommend a visit.

Sherry Y.

There's a parking lot, which makes visiting easy, and the staff were friendly. Came here during their soft opening in May for the BOGO salmon poke promotion. The line was out the door, so it took a while to order, but it was definitely worth the wait. We got one of each: spicy salmon and shoyu salmon poke. I thought I would like the shoyu more, but the spicy salmon ended up being better! We wanted to buy a block of tuna, but unfortunately it wasn't available for purchase at the time. We also ordered from the hot food menu and got the fish and chips. It was okay, but the portion size was solid for the price. Overall, a great experience during their soft opening, and we'd gladly come back!

Trinh P.

Fish & chips $12.99 Spicy salmon poke $8 Shoyu tina poke $11 Great service! Plenty of parking and seating inside. Fresh fish! Plenty of options to poke, burgers, plates, clam chowder and many more options. I love the batter on the fish and their tartar sauce was so good! Not that nasty onion vinergery smell and taste. However the fish is super thin and small portions. It is on the pricey side but its a great value.

Spicy salmon poke combo + dynamite roll
Marilyn G.

Our current favorite "fast food" more like fast pick up but the food is FRESH & delicious. If you like traditional poke, I want to say this place definitely matches that vibe. If you want A LOT toppings this might not be for you so don't go complaining that they don't offer a lot of toppings, they just don't do that here okay. Respect that. Their prices are fair, especially in this area & in this economy for this type of cuisine. This is our 7+ time (I lost count tbh) coming here at this point so figured I'd give a review!! My spicy salmon poke combo comes with the spicy salmon poke, a serving of seaweed salad, & good portion of rice. We also ordered a dynamite roll, the tempura was delicious, the tuna was soooo filling, and went perfect with the poke, my husband and I shared the roll so it was big enough to share for two people! We personally love coming here because it helps us meet our protein goals and the food is delicious, the staff is always polite and helpful, very nice people. The cozy shop displays their ready to go poke which is nice to look at when you walk in. The spicy salmon poke is something I crave often so we probably been coming here almost every other week or so because we LOVE it. I don't feel bloated after eating here, only energized, full & satisfied but not sluggish or anything like that. So even tho the portions are great, we don't feel like we over ate WHICH has definitely helped us eat better overall. The portions are generous and healthy, we don't feel guilty about coming here and getting our munch on cuz it's honestly one of our favorite meals & places to order from right now! I'm actually on my way here to pick up another order cuz we're in the mood for it again! Appreciate this local poke spot in the Bay Area, and hope to continue coming.

Hubby and I haven't had Cajun seafood for a while and decided to order some. We looked around and…read moresaw that Lemon Crab was right near us! We usually go to Hang Ten, but they closed down the one that was at Southland. I looked around and found Lemon Crab. They had everything we were looking for and it was super close by! I ended up ordering online through Yelp and it was a very smooth process. When we got there to pick up our order, the staff were super friendly. We told them that we had an online order to pick up and it was already waiting for us. Everything was sooo amazing! The flavors were delicious and it was not bland or too salty. Everything paired so well with rice and we just couldn't get enough. We definitely will be ordering again from here! Amazing place and looking forward to trying out stuff on the menu.

I really wanted to like this place but it was just okay. Not bad but just alright…read more My friend and I went to explore Hayward randomly on a Saturday. It was on one of our places to check out after seeing an influencer go here. It's a small restaurant with limited seating outside but plenty of parking outside. We got clam chowder, white rice, and combo #1 with shrimp head on, crawfish, and clams (extra $2) with lemon crab medium spicy sauce. Service was just okay. It was hard to flag them down even though it's not a big space. The clam chowder wasn't very hot. It was cool at the top and a bit warm at the bottom. The white rice just wasn't soft at all :/ The combo was alright. No complaints on the quality of the seafood.

This mac and cheese honestly hits on a different level. From the first bite, you can tell it's not…read morejust thrown together it's crafted. The cheese is rich, smooth, and perfectly melted, coating every piece of pasta without being too heavy or greasy. It's that balance a lot of places miss: creamy without feeling overwhelming. The texture is where it really stands out. The noodles are cooked just right not too soft, not too firm so every bite has that perfect consistency. And if there's a baked top layer, it adds that slight crisp that contrasts the creaminess underneath, making it even better. Flavor-wise, it's deep. You can taste the blend of cheeses instead of just one basic note. It's savory, slightly sharp, and comforting at the same time. It's the kind of dish that doesn't need extras to prove itself it already stands strong on its own. What really makes it memorable though is how it feels like more than just food. It's the type of mac and cheese that reminds you why simple dishes matter when they're done right. It's warm, satisfying, and leaves you thinking about it even after you're done. Some meals fill you up... this one stays with you. I am impressed!!

Pretty solid seafood boil and so close to home!…read more Parking is rough in the lot, so I suggest looking for metered parking around the area. There's a lot of double parking in the lot, so it seems easier to just avoid it. The weekend dinner waitlist was around 30 minutes, which was reasonable.

Our server checked on us once during the entire dinner. The game was on so some of them were paying to that instead. As someone who worked in hospitality, and still works with clients directly, the standard wasn't met. No pic taken, but i ordered the combo 1 which has 1 lb shrimp, 1 lb clams, 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 4 sausages, all for $36. That's actually a great price, however, the sauce is too chunky in my opinion, and that shrimp was overcooked... it was stiff to the bite. This was my second time here and i thought maybe I'll give it a try and my first time was just bad timing... it happened again.. but for the price, it's not bad.
