I ordered The Pad Thai and it is dry got no flavor so disappointed can do better with more sauce. I usually like their sushi.

I came here tonight to have dinner with my cousin and father. The sushi bar had seats available as soon as we entered. The food was great. Everything was delivered correctly and fast. The dining area was busy, and all the waiters still provided excellent service. Water and tea were topped off. The sushi was excellent. My father really loved the flavor cooked into the Lion Kong rolls. I enjoyed my bowl of seaweed salad. This is my 4th time here. I will keep coming and offer to bring my friends and family here for food every time.

Whispering Waves

I've been to this place for almost as long as I've been alive, back when they had the buffet and I almost bankrupted them getting only unagi to their change becoming a fusion restaurant. We've hosted friends from abroad here, I've taken exes (still friends), and now seeing them expand their menu. The food is good and you'll probably find something you like. I'm a fan of the chicken lettuce cup and whispering waves (sashimi). Hopefully their spicy beef noodle soup is tasty as well.

Sushi rolls are AMAZING. We were a bit nervous about the reviews until we showed up. Those who said the soup is cold might be lying because ours came out clean and steamy and delicious. Service is super sweet, waitress was patient and funny. The spot itself is pretty and soothing, we love the overall vibe of the restaurant. (If you're under 21, or over and want something alcohol free, get a virgin mojito. It really helped cleanse the palette after I bit off more the I could chew- literally.) great spot, does NOT deserve the hate it's getting (at least in my experience.)

Came here for my birthday party that my friends arranged. They took care of everything from drinks to food and reservations. Love that there is ample parking, we had the private room off to the side. Once food ordered was placed, food came out flying fast and it was fresh and hot. We had a variety of dishes. The sweet and sour pork, thai basil chicken, salt and pepper wings, as well as salt and pepper shrimp. We also got the fried rice, chow fun and sushi. Everything that we ordered was flavorful and delicious. We got a platter of the cooked sushi and the platter of raw sushi along with sashimi. The raw sushi was really good and fresh. The sashimi slices were super thick. I definitely need to come back to try other stuff on the menu. Drinks were good too, red lotus was delicious, not exactly sure what was in it but had lychee and it was sweet. Overall it was great evening celebrating with the best of friends and good food.

Great service, large portion of fried rice and broccoli chicken. The hot and sour soup was flavorful and the maguro sashimi was buttery and fresh. We ordered multiple rolls and there were no left overs to bring home. The Sauvignon blanc was cold and crisp and they had a good selection of beers. No one left hungry or thirsty. Good job.

Crispy, Lemony, Amazing Chicken
Marshal R.

Went here for lunch with the boss man and absolutely enjoyed everything I ate! True rating 4.5 THE GOOD ° Lemon Chicken lunch dish - absolute BANGER! - The crisp on the chicken was on point, the lemon sauce had depth, and it had actual lemons served with it ° Even the salad was super enjoyable because of the dressing/sauce ° Miso soup was made well. Don't consider myself a miso soup connoisseur. ° Personally I liked the decor. Old doors, old artifacts... But still feeling clean and modern ° Service was good and easy to call over when needed. - you could tell they took care of their older clientele, the usuals, very well and caring. THE BAD ° Nothing that I could note THE UGLY None

Barbeque Short Ribs

Let me just say that I absolutely love this place. I've never ordered to go though. Every time I dine in it's perfect service and a great time. I decided to DoorDash this time and it didn't really pan out too well. I ordered right when they opened and the food did come rather fast. I got a few rolls and they were delicious as was the assorted sashimi. The rolls were the Cherry Blossom & Home Sweet Home. I also ordered the chicken chow fun which was good but had very few noodles in it. It was basically just chicken. The gyoza was good but I didn't like the sauce that came with it. The golden crispy rolls were kinda slimy. Didn't seem like they were cooked all the way. I got the bbq short ribs but they didn't look anything like the picture on DoorDash. In the picture they were red and saucy and what I got was brown and dry with sesame seeds as pictured in this review. Not sure if the picture is wrong or they gave me the wrong thing. They weren't bad, just wasn't what I expected. The most disappointing part was that I ordered and paid for the warrior chicken and they didn't give it to me. I'll definitely order from here again as I stated I love it but I hope it'll be a better experience the next go around.

Went to this restaurant with my kids, staff was super bubbly and sweet as pie. Our food was brought out before my three year old could even start up a rampage. Drinks were refreshing- (I got a pomegranate martini, 10/10 would recommend!!). The restaurant had such a peaceful atmosphere and its a great place to unwind after running errands all day. They played smooth RnB in the background and its just a great spot. Believe me, we'll be back.

Inside
Mel S.

Staff and Service: - Our waitress was super nice. I walked in and she asked if I would like an air conditioned room or warmer room (there's been a heat wave recently in the Bay Area). She was very accommodating, answered the questions I had, and was quick to help out Food and Drinks: - Lychee Punch: cocktail on the happy hour menu (lychee, lemonade, vodka). Fun cocktail that has a stronger taste of lychee and vodka (less on the lemonade) - Spring Rolls: ordered this off the happy hour menu (comes with 4) - 49er Roll: different than other 49er rolls as the inside was cucumber instead of a California roll - Double Salmon Roll: lots of salmon, which is why I ordered this - Overall: the rolls were okay, but they were quite small compared to other restaurants. The rice was a little sticky and lacked the vinegar of sushi rice Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking available via a shared parking lot - Single stall bathrooms available through a door in the back - Happy hour menu is available from 4:30pm - 6:30pm Monday - Friday - Bento boxes are priced for lunch on the menu. If you want a bento box for dinner, it's an additional $5 to what is listed on the menu - Good for one on one or large groups - The acoustics in the restaurant are pretty bad - every time someone moved a table or chair, it became near impossible to hear the person right across from me. This continued to happen for a solid 30 or so minutes

It's time to give Genghix the credit it deserves. We've been coming here for years, and I'm finally leaving a review. My parents have always raved about this place, and now I understand why. It's the perfect spot for those craving both sushi and Chinese food. Their sushi is consistently fresh, and the Chinese dishes are packed with flavor and wok-charred goodness. The service was quick and efficient! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure to check on us from time to time. The drinks, especially the margaritas, are always a highlight! They're strong and delicious!

Salt and Pepper tofu! We loved it! Super crispy.

I eat here often. Lots of variety of dishes. I haven't tried their newly added Korean dishes. But Chinese and sushi are excellent.

I got to try firefly squid for the first time which has a short 1 month season. All the appetizers were unique, tasty, and beautifully presented. After 6 appetizers we got 8 nigiris and all tasted delicious. Wasabi was grated right in front of us. Not a lot of fatty cuts but each piece was so soft and tender. My favorites were the salmon, lean tuna, and otoro. We also ordered the rosy seabass from the supplement menu and it's the fattiest and most tender white fish i've ever had. Also so pleasantly surprised by the castella tamago which was made out of black tiger prawn, yam, and egg. It had an insane is-it-egg-or-cake flavor and texture. Restaurant is small with a cozy and intimate vibe. Service is top notch. Overall it was such a great meal and great night. This is prob the best omakase i've had in the bay

I am a CV local and know about this Tancho for a long while now but finally we booked a reservation…read morefor a ladies night out. The restaurant is cute inside and definitely got the Japanese decors and vibe that makes the experience better. It is quite a small restaurant that can sit probably 16ish people capacity. Service was very attentive and friendly as expected. It is a fixed menu style and the food serving size is just okay because I expect something a bit more. I do find the food taste is bland and certain dishes are just okay. Food taste and quality is below my expectation for a somewhat expensive price tag comparing to what's served. The miso black cod was bland, the eel over rice was just nah, and the mackerel nigiri was super fishy. We didn't finish some of the nigiri even though there were only 6 of them total served. We added Otoro for extra $18 a piece and it was good (I mean how could you go wrong with Otoro?!) a bit too fatty of a cut so torching it make it better. We got a bottle of their sake and it was pretty good. I am disappointed because I am really hoping CV could have more great quality restaurants. Glad to give it a try though to cross off a list.

MY FAVORITE SUSHI SPOT…read more I wish I could gatekeep but it's just too good! Amazing sushi, fresh fish with so many great options on the AYCE menu. The ratio of rice to fish for their nigiri is on point. You can actually enjoy the fish without getting full off rice. Their omakase box is delicious. Can get busy but the ambiance is still chill and it's easy to enjoy a nice dinner. I come at least once a week because it's so good

I tried both the AYCE sushi restaurant and the cafe side, and honestly, my experience was very…read moredifferent between the two. For the AYCE sushi restaurant, it was good but not exactly mind-blowing. The fish and seafood variety didn't taste like the freshest quality, and after a while, a lot of the rolls started tasting the same. For around $45 AYCE, I personally think there are better options out there. Some of the skewers came out burnt. Takoyaki was 1/5, you can skip on taht. But that being said, the service was really good. The lady serving us was super friendly and attentive, and overall the staff was kind and welcoming. However, there was only one other table besides ours at the time, so I'm not sure how service would be during peak hours. Now the cafe side, I loved it. The vibe made me feel like I wasn't even in Hayward. The sandos were really good, and the matcha looked amazing. I'd definitely come back for the cafe experience alone. My biggest concern though is the elevator situation. It wasn't working during our visit, and I heard it hasn't been working for quite a while. It honestly made me wonder how elderly or mobility-impaired guests are supposed to dine there. That definitely seems like something that needs attention.
