Eggplant
Brian D.

Food is so so and watery! Tuna and salmon sashimi ahhh Egg plant dish was good Service slow , no drinks first Best option was the shredded Japanese style salad Very small and I'm sorry , all around bland, slow and nothing special

Unagi don and sashimi

Still one of the best places in the bay area to get good quality japanese food. The parking lot is big and easy to get a spot in. Order the gyoza!

Giving a 5-star review because this is a cute mom and pop shop with SO many frog decorations (I love frogs). I got a salmon roll, which was fairly standard but was covered in sesame seeds. I love sesame seeds, so I wasn't bothered by that at all. While the roll was fairly small, that didn't really make me dislike it since it actually felt like quite a bit of salmon stuffed into a small roll. Not a lot of rice too, which is good! Star of the show was the slice of cheesecake. SO light and refreshing because of the added tangerine bits. While the cheesecake didn't have an actual crust, the graham cracker crumbs acted as the crunch! It was a fairly unique slice of cheesecake I've had since I've never seen one with tangerine slices incorporated into it. I can tell that this acts as a nice community spot, especially since someone came in to chat with the owners about her grandchild. How cute :)

Authentic Japanese food! Two sweet ladies-- I think one is the obasan (grandmother), and her daughter. They were so kind, gracious, hard working and sweet. Best chicken katsu I've had (breaded chicken cutlets). Huge portion, super light, juicy, tender and crispy. Don't forget to squeeze the lemon on it. Delish! Huge bento portion-- hubs got the tempura and chicken teriyaki. Comes w/ salad, delicious miso soup, and a cucumber and cabbage appetizer. Great value for $24 for dinner. Tempura was a generous portion and crispy. Cheesecake was light. Grandma said she made it and it has cream cheese and soy milk. Tastes homemade and everything tasted like it was made with love. Small restaurant with about 8 tables. Grandma was hustling the whole time. Love these hidden gems with delicious, authentic food. Arigatou gozaimasu - ありがとう ございます!

We had a wonderful dinner here. The owner is so friendly and caring. There was plenty of parking and no wait time when we went. They started us off with miso soup and some side dishes. We all enjoyed the cucumber side dish. The salmon roll and spicy tuna roll were ok, light in flavor and small portion. The sukiyaki was very filling and flavorful. As you can see from the photo, they give a large bowl with raw meat that cooks in the broth. The meat was cut thin and tender. The glass noodles were chewy and slightly sweetened by the sukiyaki base. They give rice on the side too. Lastly, we got the homemade cheesecake. It is light and jiggly for a cheesecake, perfect for dessert after a filling meal. I highly recommend you come here if you are in the area.

Good luck frog

Local. Small. A little frenzied, occasionally. Great food. I love the local vibe and the fact that it is family run.

Is this place gluten free? I specifically am wondering about tempura and chicken teriyaki. Thank you

Rice, fish, and vegetables contain simple, natural ingredients, and are gluten-free. However, tempura and chicken teriyaki is not. The only tempura batter recipe is to add gluten free beer in it. Teriyaki is another unsafe wheat containing sauce.

We visited Marujun for the first time at 6:30 pm last Thursday night. We made reservations for the…read moretwo of us via phone (couldn't do it online for the same night) after reading reviews that said they could be crowded. The restaurant is in a nondescript pocket sized strip mall. I had my doubts, but felt we were transported somewhere else as soon as we stepped through the door. We were welcomed and seated immediately. The menu is extensive, mostly sushi and sashimi dishes. We ordered exactly the right amount for the two of us, including a special appetizer of a shrimp custard (yum), tempura shrimp (two shrimp, crispy, dipping bowl with a side of spicy daikon we could add). I ordered the Hakata Mizutaki hot pot with chicken and cabbage. My wife went for the Queen sushi roll with unagi, hamachi and sweet sauce and a small 2-piece sashimi plate. For dessert we ordered another special, a sweet potato custard that came with a generous scoop of the creamiest vanilla ice cream I've ever had. The presentation for the dessert was so special... it came in a lidded lacquer box (see photos). After recently eating in a terribly noisy restaurant, we appreciated that the sound level here was very low, making conversation easy. Our server was gracious and attentive (filling our pot of tea with hot water, and then pouring the tea for us). All of the food was fantastic. The total with tax and tip came out to $135 for two people. That's probably on par for the quality of the food, but steep for us, so this will become more of a "special treat" dinner place for us. But we do want to return to sample more dishes.

This dining experience puts other 5-star restaurants to shame. The attention to detail is…read moreincredible. First, it is small and in a strip mall next to a Smoke Shop, but don't let that fool you. Reservations are suggested, but seating at the small sushi bar is saved for walk in guests. If you have a handbag, it's placed in a canvas tote or basket so it doesn't have to be hung over the chair or on the floor. The playlist is perfect! I rarely notice music unless it's excellent or horrible or interferes with conversation. This was extremely well done--not too loud and not intrusive but a great vibe. The restroom was also nicely appointed and spotless. Service was friendly, efficient, and everyone seemed happy to be there. The tables were spaced so that servers could move around without having to worry about diners and guests didn't feel rushed or crowded. The spacing also provided for more privacy for conversations. Everything was delicious! From the red miso to sashimi to nigiri to the rolls. The presentation was amazing and the food was even better. Much of the fish is flown in from Japan daily and the rest is just caught. We ordered more dishes than we usually do in two different evenings out! It was that delicious and fresh. There is no outside dining and no takeout. Dinner only and limited seating. The focus is on a high quality, attentive enjoyable experience and they don't disappoint.

Growing up eating Burmese food at home, I rarely go out for it because nothing ever compares to…read morehomemade. That's why I was pleasantly surprised by Burma Town. The flavors were authentic and flavorful without being overly Americanized. The pork curry was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-order. I also got the tea leaf salad and immediately wished I had ordered the large because you can never have enough tea leaf salad. The palata was a great starter -- flaky, warm, and exactly what you'd want. The miso black cod was another standout. The broth it was simmered in was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were also done really well with the right noodles and great flavor -- honestly better than some places known specifically for garlic noodles. And of course, the coconut rice is always worth ordering. We skipped dessert since nothing really stood out, but I would love to see them add more traditional Burmese desserts like faluda in the future. Parking wasn't too difficult, especially if you circle around the back neighborhood area. The wait was reasonable, the outdoor patio seating was nice, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving Burmese food.

I've had the tea leaf salad and BBQ pork garlic noodles. I sadly can no longer eat red meat but the BBQ pork was delicious and the garlic noodles were not overly greasy. I forgot to also include that the tea leaf salad here is one of the best I've had! My coworker that I brought there last year had never had Burmese food and I had her try the Tea Leaf Salad (my personal favourite) and she loved it and insisted that was the best salad she's ever had. We're from the South so our palette is different, lol. This place also has a lot of fusion dishes and is very friendly to vegans and vegetarians. This is very important for me due to dietary restrictions. The restaurant was very clean, the decoration was cute and the owner's daughter was incredibly kind. She told us that her mother's recipes were used for the restaurant. I'll be bringing my partner and other friends here when we have time. The only issue is the parking. Parking is insanely frustrating in this area but this place is worth it. Just carpool together and go! The owner's daughter also has a really good memory since we couldn't come back for several months and she still remembered us and our request for ube cheesecake, lol. Edit: Oops, I meant original owner's daughter. I'm not sure if she's the owner now or her mom. Either way, the food is great and service is always kind. It feels especially kind when owners of the business are passionate about their food and encourage their customers! I found the pictures and uploaded them (oops, it was from 2024 not last year too).

King Roll is one of those rare neighborhood spots that locals guard closely--and for good reason…read more I've been coming here my entire life, and it's still one of the best value sushi restaurants around. The fish is consistently fresh, the menu is extensive, and the prices are almost unbelievable. Sashimi around $21, rolls starting at $8--good luck finding that elsewhere without sacrificing quality. This is hands-down one of the most affordable sushi options in town. Favorites you must order: the Anna Roll and the Dragon Roll. Both are excellent every single time. Tempura is solid, crisp, and dependable. Miso soup, however, is skippable--it's not their strong suit. One thing to know going in: food timing can be unpredictable. Sometimes your order comes out in 10 minutes, other times it can take over an hour. Takeout orders clearly drive the kitchen pace, and it's not always obvious how backed up they are. If you're in a rush, keep this in mind. They are cash only, but you do get a 5% discount, which honestly feels fair--and refreshing. Service is mixed. The woman who serves can be curt and a bit impatient if you're taking time with the menu. On the flip side, the man behind the counter has been there for years and genuinely loves the place. He knows the regulars, greets people warmly, and gives the restaurant its soul. King Roll isn't trendy, flashy, or crowded--and that's exactly the appeal. Clean food, great value, and a true local staple. This is the kind of place you end up eating at weekly without even thinking about it. Still one of my all-time favorites.

Ambiance is non-existent. The tables and chairs are rickety and mismatched. While the service was…read moreok, there wasn't another soul there on Saturday at 5 nor at 6 when we left.

I had the pleasure of dining at Madcap last year for my birthday. I'd been eyeing the restaurant…read morefor a while, intrigued by their fusion of French and Japanese cuisines--because honestly, who doesn't love that combination? What I didn't realize at the time was the sheer pedigree behind it. It turns out Madcap is Michelin-rated, and Chef Ron Siegel is a celebrity chef. A Top Chef alum who headlined at legendary spots like The French Laundry and Michael Mina. Ironically, I didn't learn any of this from a food blog or Yelp. I heard it from my dentist in Vallejo. Talk about a random convo! As for the food, Chef Siegel's creations are pure joy--a celebration of culinary genius that feels genuinely divine. It's the kind of meal that evokes deep emotion; it really is magical. I can honestly say it's the best restaurant in Marin, Point Reyes included. We paired our meal with a beautiful bottle of sake by Pharrell Williams (yes, you read that right), and to top off an already incredible evening, we got to meet Chef Siegel and take a group photo with him. What a cool dude! Inside the restaurant, the decor was refined and classy, featuring rich dark wood accents and curated artwork. My only minor complaint was the seating - the wooden chair, while stylish, could have been a bit more comfortable. Overall, it was a truly lovely experience.

What a delightful fusion experience--not only of French and Japanese ethnic cuisines, but also of…read moreartistry. Unlike the dictionary definition of "madcap" -- wildly impulsive or chaotic -- the exquisite dining experience at this Michelin-starred restaurant is anything but. My experience was calm, intentional, playful, and deeply refined. After living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2005, I had just learned about Madcap and was thrilled to celebrate a friend's birthday there. From the moment we were greeted by Kim at the host stand -- warm, poised, and genuinely welcoming -- we felt special. Anticipation built immediately. Our four-course prix fixe menu was printed on artisanal, handmade-feeling paper -- textured, elegant, and thoughtful. With a minimalist design aesthetic, every detail serves a purpose and is beautiful in its restraint. The luxury here is subtle but palpable. Large, colorful, whimsical paintings line the walls -- one even reminded me of Jane Fonda as Barbarella. The chopsticks and flatware are distinctive and sculptural. Nothing feels accidental or unintentional. From a 15-page beverage menu, I selected a 2023 Raventós i Blanc Blanc de Blancs Cava from Conca del Riu Anoia, Catalunya. Crisp, celebratory, and the perfect opening note. If you might assume "small courses" won't satisfy, think again. I left completely full. Welcome Snacks Before the first official course, we were surprised with a small welcoming assortment. I couldn't name each component, but they were colorful, beautifully balanced, and layered in flavor and texture -- playful yet precise. A lovely crescendo into what followed. First Course Nicasio Valley egg, lemongrass spuma, pine nuts. We chose to add the optional Black Périgord truffle. When pierced with my spoon, the bright yellow yolk blended like a brushstroke into the white of the egg. The spuma (an airy, savory foam created by aerating a sauce) added a delicate citrus-herbal lift to the richness of the egg. The pine nuts brought delightful contrast texture. Oh, and that exquisite toast! Elegant and harmonious. The delicately-shaved truffle provided a heavenly mouth-feel. Second Course Winter salad, shima aji, orange olive oil or Sunchoke tortelloni, spinach, shiitake, thyme jus One companion chose the vibrant winter salad -- stunning in color and textures including shima aji, a premium Japanese fish. I chose the sunchoke tortelloni. Although I'm usually not a fan of al dente pasta, here it worked beautifully to contrast the creamy filling. The green-tinged spinach tortelloni were visually striking and balanced by the earthy shiitake and fragrant thyme jus. Third Course Mount Lassen trout, abalone & carrot risotto, lobster cream or Flannery beef ribeye, artichoke, Banyuls, black garlic We all chose the trout. The fish was executed perfectly -- caramelized, crisp exterior, yet it flaked effortlessly into large, tender pieces with the fork. The carrot risotto leaned slightly sweet for my palate, though beautifully textured. The tiny slivers of abalone, however, were surprisingly overcooked and chewy. The lobster cream had a thinner, almost broth-like consistency and didn't meaningfully elevate the dish. For reference, Banyuls (used in the ribeye preparation) is a French fortified wine like port from the Roussillon region that creates deep, slightly sweet reductions that complement richer meats. Fourth Course Shiso panna cotta, pineapple vanilla gelée. The panna cotta was softly set, cool, and subtly sweet -- a lovely, light finish. The Japanese mint herb of shiso was subtle. The crumble beneath added wonderful contrast and texture. A small piece of pineapple was firmer than expected, though the overall composition remained balanced and refreshing. With it, I had a decaf Americano. It was so smooth and flavorful I drank it black -- and enjoyed every sip. Post-dessert course We were pleasantly surprised with a pearlized white box of what appeared to be handmade confections: caramel, a sugar-dusted berry gelée, and a ganache-filled chocolate truffle. The unexpected welcome bites and post-dessert confections made the four-course prix fixe feel even more generous and thoughtfully orchestrated. Madcap is an experience of delightful visual artistry and intentional composition. The overall execution, ambiance, and hospitality created a memorable evening. P.S. While I typically eat gluten- and dairy-free, making those substitutions would have fundamentally changed the menu. For this celebratory evening, I chose not to alter the chef's composition. We visited on 2/26/26.
