This place has pretty good sushi at an affordable price. The ambience is pretty laid back but that's ok if you're on a budget like me and you like good sushi. They have a great variety to choose from I'm still trying different things on the menu but I tend to stick to what I like...Tuna Scream. I read the Dynamite is good so I'm trying that today. Ambience: ok in my book Food: excellent Service: decent (you order before you sit down. I like that it's faster) Highly recommended spot in San Leandro. read more

If you are looking for some cheap good sushi then this is the place . I usually always order my regulars , LionKing, Crunch Tempura, Deep fried CA, Dragon Roll. I only eat the cooked rolls but they do have other varieties of sushi roll to choose from . Nice friendly service as well . read more

I gave this place a 4 because it's not the best it has it's good and bad and it just depends what matter to you more. If you want cheap sushi than this is the place for you. But if you not up for the wait and you want delicious sushi than this is not for you. Basically this is like a family restaurant open by Koreans. I know they're Koreans because they flower signs are in Hangul and they played Korean music. This place is not like you sit there and wait for them to serve you. It is more like a self-serve. Couple time I went only one person makes they food so he takes pretty long. Although he does his take to make it all nice and stuff. It's not the best sushi i test but they give you a lot for the price they offer. So this place really depends what you want. I actually like how i get a lot for the price they offer it makes me happy. When I am happy everything taste good. xD read more

Pro: I have been here before yet have not done a review, and feel like the time to write one is now. The last time I went, I went with my partner and we both ordered three rolls. (Bay Island, Santa Rita, and Ocean Crab) All three rolls were very delicious and they came out in a very reasonable time. I am always one to crave sushi and Fat Fish is for sure one of to go places. Con: The guy who is behind the counter seems to not really like his job. He seems to be lacking energy in taking orders. I do understand that, on the day that my partner and I went he was a little busy, but I still feel like one should try to always give the customer a smile and want to provide them with great care. Yet he was able to take our order and provide service to other customers. read more

So I'm here for lunch, after getting a massage from across the road. The owner is here, and I think that's why my two rolls ( Santa Rita and big salmon) are stellar! I've been here a few times and sometimes the rolls are just slapped together, not enough ginger on side. Today they are really good! read more

I usually like to eat here because it's cheap, but recently I had bought some California and Salmon rolls and they were so cheap on the avocado. I felt so ripped off. Lesson learned.... don't come here for those rolls. read more

I had the nagiri today. It wasnt as fresh as my previous visits. Wasnt worth the money for sure. Leaving dissapointed.

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could. This was definitely my sushi go-to spot in my early adolescents because it's more on the cheaper side. But now some of the rolls taste similar from here and are all starting to taste the same. Their quality isn't bad, and I would recommend it if you're looking for inexpensive sushi. It tends to get busy and the parking is limited, but it's still a go-to spot at times read more

We were looking for a local new sushi spot so we decided to give this place a try... When: Saturday at 1PM. Location: Off one of the main streets in SL and has it's own parking lot. Place: This building has been so many different food establishments Mexican, hot dogs, Chinese and now Japanese. It's bright yellow and hard to miss from the street. The area is pretty colorful the SL residents know what I mean. To be honest I was a little scared when we pulled up and parked. I looked at hub and asked if we wanted to REALLY eat here. He said lets give it a try. He is more adventurous than me. So we trekked on in. Menu: BAM! right when you walk in the menu is posted right in front with pictures, descriptions and prices. It's nice to see what each roll looks like. They also have bento boxes,udon, donburi, sake and beer. You give your order at the counter, pay and then find a table. Service: Mostly self serve. They bring the food and plates out but that is about it. There is a water station and all of the condiments, chop sticks and napkins are set on the tables. Food: We ordered the best friends which was 3 rolls (CA., spicy tuna and unagi). and the Mexican which was a spicy CA roll with salsa and jalapeños on top. The Mexican roll was just ok it was a good size with 6 pieces but I could tell the salsa was from a jar it was pretty crappy with no flavor and extremely cold. I ended up pushing the salsa off the top. The best friends unagi and spicy tuna rolls were pretty good. The hub wasn't too happy with the CA roll. Price: You can't beat the price the highest price roll was $10. and that was the lobster roll. Our total was under $20. for 4 rolls. You get what you pay for no thrills, no table service and cheap food that is why I gave it a 3. Not sure if we will return. Our fav is still the Japanese restaurant in the Green House. read more

Cheap, cheap, cheap. This place is clean and service is friendly. The sushi is just ok, nothing spectacular but still quite edible. If you're hungry and in the neighborhood it's worth the stop. read more

So almost 4 stars. It's a little small and odd. However the food is good, the portions are great and it's really a decent place to grab some food. It is really not a date night type of place, it used to be a del taco or something many decades ago. However for a meal of decent proportions and quality - I say go for it. read more

Oh boy... I don't want to offend my relatives who have Yelp, but yikes! I was having an especially rough day one week. Being a school teacher... it happens... a lot. Well, I was trolling through Target and I ran into my older sister. We had a few words, parted ways, then she asked if I had dinner. She suggested Fat Fish, and since I had never been, I was game. I had heard that it was an order and pay first situation, which I wasn't too excited about. I like to sit down and think about what I'm going to get without being pressured about someone waiting behind me. I was a little overwhelmed, and didn't want to get anything I would regret, so I got the two item bento box. My sister said she would pay, "Happy Birthday," but when I saw the total (like $16), I was like, "That's for one person, right!?" I couldn't believe how cheap. I was thinking that this was great! ...Not so much. When the food came, I saw why it was so cheap. A sliver thin slice of teriyaki salmon, tiny pieces of sashimi, and very little salad and rice. The smallest portions I have ever had AND IT WASN'T GOOD. The salmon tasted good, but was overcooked. The sashimi did not even taste like fish. I forget what it tasted like, but I didn't even want to finish the tiny bit I had to eat. This is not a sushi place. Sushi is a special thing that takes time and special care in the creation. This is a fast food version of sushi that should not exist. Sushi should not be ordered in haste, nor made with economy in mind. I have had some reasonable sushi places that still maintain the high standard of Japanese cuisine required to make sushi. Boo on you lazy Fat Fish Sushi. read more

I love sushi and tried this place a few times, mainly getting rolls and $2 japanese beer. I visited again and ordered their sushi bento box, thinking it would be the same quality as the rolls. Boy, was I wrong! I received 3 pieces of nigiri; one salmon, one tuna and one I could not even figure out what it was. 6 pieces of a california roll, salad, miso soup, and pork katsu. The tuna nigiri looked terrible and I took a nibble and was not a fan. The salmon was better but still not fresh fresh. The salad was watered down and runny, you couldn't taste anything buy mayo. The miso soup had a tiny amount of noodle in it and one and a half pieces of seaweed. By far the worst miso I've ever had and it's hard to mess up miso. The california rolls weren't too bad, they tasted better then everything else. Oh and I ordered a spirte at the counter and was never given it. The girl kept checking on us and she never brought it out. I didn't care at that point I just wanted to leave. Overall, terrible. I will never get the bento box ever ever again and I suggest going elsewhere for one, say Sushi Avenue on Marina. read more

This is my go to sushi spot on a busy night. I always go for the shrimp killer, caterpillar and gyoza. Not expensive at all.

The four star rating is based on hot food and price. Three stars for rolls and one star for sashimi. I feel their raw fish has been treated with some sort of solution to keep the fish fresh longer. Thus, I would stay away from their sashimi. Anyhow, I really like their hot chicken which are fried pieces of boneless thigh meat with Korean hot bean paste. I wish they offer it with some type of donburi and not appetizer. Prices are super cheap (most sushi items are cheaper than the sushi bar at your local Safeway). That's a plus for us folks that are living small to medium. read more

Small and ghetto! Fat Fish Sushi is ok for its price. Decent but don't expect anything fantastic or frilly here. It looks somewhat like a fast food joint on the inside, far as I know you don't really get any wait service. You just get sushi and I wouldn't trust any raw fish either, honestly. It is what it is. If you are a nigiri/sashimi connoisseur, I suggest running far far away. If you just need a quick, cheap meal to kick a craving. Go for it. read more

I like it. Good for take out if you are local. I like their titanic roll and pink lady roll. Price is on the low side that's a bonus. Fish quality is above average. read more

I love fat fish!!!! Probably the best sushi you can get for the price! Soo cheap for sushi! This place is fast and efficient and have a variety of different kinds of rolls, udon, and sashimi. Of course you're not going to get the highest quality sushi here, it is only 4-8$ for their rolls. A great spot if you're tight on money and craving some sushi! Not really great service here, but it is a fast food type of restaurant. You find yourself a table and wait for your food at the table with your number, so I don't expect much from these types of restaurant's when it comes to service. I like their 49er's roll and golden gate roll. read more

They changed the business name and increase the price. We went there for lunch on Tuesday. Only few people show up. It's quite expensive now. read more

Chirashi is da bomb here. This is definitely a fast food sushi restaurant. Do not expect anything more. The prices are decent and the quantity is acceptable. The best of all is the dollar draft beer. read more

New owners and the food is awesome. I love the e14th st roll and the deluxe bento box. The owners are real friendly and come by often to make sure you are taken care of. The sushi is better than any other is San Leandro. Take it for what it is, Never had any problems at this place. read more

I'm a big fan of sushi so I really like trying different sushi places. Fat Fish Sushi was no exception. The sushi were pretty decent and the prices as well. I thought several sushi rolls were better than others. Overall, decent place for sushi especially in the San Leandro area. read more

Fat fish is by far my favorite restaurant. It's not fancy sit down place, it's more of like a fast food chain that does sushi. The have a great selection of rolls all UNDER $10! Some of my favorite roll options are spicy california, honeymoon roll, bay island roll, lion king roll, and lastly my absolute favorite tuna scream roll! Some people have this idea that if sushi is cheap in cost its cheap in quality. Definitely not the case here. Five stars "as good as it gets" in my book, by that I mean the the cost in comparison with the food, of course there are better places but as a college student the convince and cost of this place is incredible. If I know that I don't have time to actually sit in and wait for my order, I can just call in and it's ready to be picked up usually within 15 minutes, in my case the time it takes me to get to the restaurant. read more

Great place for some quick, cheap, to go sushi. The rolls are all under 10 bucks, but just because it's cheap, don't think they'll scimp on you. They're pretty big, especially considering the price you pay. The place is mainly take out, but the inside is surprisingly roomy even if it may not look like much on the outside. The fresh is also pretty fresh. Fat Fish definitely blew my expectations away because I really wasn't expecting much when I saw the price and the place itself. The sushi itself is probably only 4-stars, but for the price, it's a GREAT deal. read more

I've been here a few times now simply because I live a stones throw away. One thing that's interesting is how they keep costs down. The entire menu is ordered fast food style. In such, the entire menu is generally $1-2 cheaper than equivalent items at other sushi restaurants. The service style may put some people off cause it does give a vibe off that the food will be cheap. However, it's not the case, the rolls are adequate and the hot dishes are as well. Although, beyond all the evidence I've seen in terms of eating the food, I still can't quite convince myself that it's not cheap quality ingredients. That's my own problem and not the restaurants. Parking is usually abundant. Service is generally quick. Food is usually as you would expect. Give it a shot if you want....ya know. read more

This restaurant is OK. It's a cheap place to eat for sushi, but if you want good quality of rolls and sushi this is not the place to go. I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants, and a good sushi has the freshest fish and not much crab meat in the inside. Have you notice most of the rolls that you order are fat and long? Is because they put too much artificial crab meat inside to make up for that other portion of the roll. If you want take out rolls and sushi, fat fish is the place to go. But if you want to eat as much sushi as you can, go to Kokyo buffet in Hayward. It's cheaper and it's the same quality. read more

This place is pretty good. Not the best fish but pretty good for the price. One of the cheapest sushi places I've been to. Love it. I would totally go here again. They have a wide variety. And they give a decent amount of food. The restaurant looks clean and neat. The wait wasn't too long. Overall, pretty nice. read more

My new 'go to' sushi spot in San Leandro. VERY casual- don't recommend if your looking for fine dining or a romantica dinner/lunch date, sorry lovebirds. Walk in. Order. Take a seat or hangout while you wait for your to-go. The HUGE menu is posted above the cashier. Pictures posted of some of the rolls, just the names and descriptions of the rest. They have a huge variety of different rolls as well as rice bowls and salads. I, along with other people I've observed, will stand there staring at the menu for a long time trying to decide what to order because theres so many options! Once you order, rolls come out pretty fast. Recommend: Superman New York Spicy California (much spicier than I expected) Lion King Big Cali All are decent size and good flavor. This place is very reasonably priced! read more

"OH that place! That yellow and green building?! The one that looks like a Taco Bell?!" Haha. I have been going to this place for years and it has never let me down. I would like to comment on the fact that the prices are impeccable. Under $10 sushi?! You have won my heart Fat Fish. This is my go-to place if I ever crave sushi. Some of my favorite rolls are: Super Philli, Super Rainbow, Cherry Blossom, Best Friends, 49er roll. But, I try to venture out when I feel a bit adventurous. I've never had a bad roll here and it impresses me every time I go here. "Ah, I wonder if it'll be bad today." BUT NEVER. I usually order 1-2 rolls and I ALWAYS have left overs. They definitely don't skimp out of the size of the rolls. Another reason to come to this place. I forgot that they had a water station here and my dumbass asked the person that worked there for water and she glared at me! But that was my bad I suppose. Haha. So, don't make my mistake and ask the people that work there for water... Unless you have some weird fetish with people glaring at you then by all means! Once you come here, you'd never want to go anywhere else because the selection is HUGE and the prices will be another reason to win you over. read more

A great affordable sushi place in San Leandro. They have a wide selection of rolls to choose from and it's semi-self serve. When you walk in, you immediately see the big menu, where 3/4 of it is rolls. I personally love the big nick and order it almost every time. Depending on my hunger, I might get two rolls or a roll and bento box, which you can choose 2-3 items and choose from two different bento boxes. They include miso soup and salad. The soup is hit and miss because sometimes it's a little too salty. Beware, the sushi bento does not include rice and had to be purchased separately. They a small cooler with drinks and beer or a complimentary water cooler to choose from for beverages. You're given a number and then you seat yourself and they bring you food to you. Again, it's not the most well decorated or inviting place, with old worn in and tattered benches, and the customer service is eh. The men making the sushi behind the counter are ways friendly, but the ladies, they can be rude unfriendly with attitude. I notice they're always nicer when the owner is there, but still not super friendly. The parking lot is real small, only about 10-12 parking spaces, but street parking is available if your brave enough to park your ride on E14th street. read more

Good thing we only ordered gyoza, fried chicken (Karaage) and two beer. Nothing was good besides their ice cold bottled beer! Gyoza was tasteless and mushy. Karaage was HORRIBLE, it was bland boiled/steamed thin sliced chicken fried in half inch thick tempura batter that wasn't even crunchy! It was all soggy and most of the pieces were just straight batter. I can only imagine how bad their sushi rolls and other foods are like if they can't even do simple frying dishes right. Place is small and could get very hot and stuffy... I hope they have good refrigeration for the raw fish.. Oh yeah, and they're self-serve. One star for the beer. read more

I ordered the lion king: the rice was too overcooked that it was toasted. 8 piece sashimi: the tuna was pink not red. Service wasn't that great. Fat fish in pleasanton is way better, don't waste your time here. read more

I really like this sushi spot my cousin brought me here for the lion king and the bento box which I thought was affordable and I was pretty satisfied with everything I ate ..the workers here are pretty nice ...

My husband and I only get sushi from here and it's always soo good and the staff is super cool.

This place is perfect for quick Japanese sushi takeout. Sushi tastes pretty good and prices are very reasonable. My favorites are their Lion King Roll and Super Rainbow Roll. However, if you want sashimi, there are better places to go to. Staff are friendly and service is fast. read more

I think that Fat Fish has a great fast food Japanese concept. I was one of the few patrons in the restaurant on a early evening. I can imagine that if the restaurant was full, they would have a difficult time getting the food out in a timely manner. The board of sushi rolls is great, especially because I love looking at pictures of food. I tried 4 different rolls which were all ok (not great and not horrible). I think that the sushi rolls are decent, considering the price that you pay for them. If you want higher quality sushi, you will want to visit Sushi House in Alameda. The waitress and the owner are both really nice and friendly, so I would like to see them succeed. I might give this place one more try and next time I will order their bento boxes instead. read more
