    Nigiri for lunch
    Ivy C.

    Great sushi place. I finally got around to checking it out with my son for lunch. It's been on my list for a long time and it didn't disappoint. We ordered a lot of nigiri. They also had specials on the chalk board. We sat at the sushi counter. My son wanted some more as salmon nigiri is his favorite! this place is now on my list to go back.

    We stopped by Keiko Fish for the first time while we were in the area, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is super cute, very clean, and the service was exceptional--friendly and attentive from start to finish. We started with the crispy spicy tuna and fried onion albacore sashimi--both were flavorful, but the crispy tuna really stood out. For nigiri, we tried the hirame, sea bream, sweet shrimp, and black cod. The sea bream was a favorite, incredibly fresh. Everything was delicious, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

    Spicy tuna crispy rice

    Keiko has so much to offer. We tried the crispy rice spicy tuna, yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, sparkling sake, miso soup, medium fatty tuna, and salmon nigiri- all very well prepared. The Wagyu nigiri with a bump of caviar on top is heavenly. The yellowtail scallion roll is delicious and simple. The service is quick and attentive. Pretty small seating area so I recommend making a reservation.

    We saw that this place had great reviews, so we decided to stop in an early dinner on a Saturday night. Starting with the ambiance and location: the restaurant is very clean, so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and on the smaller size. There's a bar that seats probably 6ish people, and maybe 6-10 tables depending on party sizes. Super charming inside. Pretty decent street parking and family friendly (although it was kind of tough to squeeze our stroller in there). Service was good, could be better. Our waitress forgot to put in one of our orders, so we needed to remind her about it, and I actually overheard that she did the same thing with the table right next to us. They were all very friendly and food came out pretty quickly! The food was amazing. It's a smaller menu (which I prefer) and their omakase looked amazing. I'll have to try it next time. The Crispy Spicy Tuna is a must and their Spicy Tuna Handrolls are amazing. I love spicy tuna, but I find that most restaurants just mix the tuna with mostly sriracha and call it a day. Theirs is very flavorful, perfect amount of spicy and if there is sriracha in it, I couldn't taste it at all. We did some rolls and edamame and miso soup and it was all so good! Overall, will be back and definitely recommend.

    Diablo roll (special) - Shrimp tempura, scallop, crab, asparagus and eel sauce.

    A lunch stop recently, I had been looking for a good lunchtime sushi alternative in Marin. Found this place on Yelp - Keiko Fish is located just outside of the main downtown business stretch on Magnolia Avenue. For those who toil at the parking situation on Magnolia, you'll be pleased to know that this restaurant is located in a little cluster of shops that has ample parking behind it in a dedicated lot. There were a few other patrons enjoying lunch when I arrived, just after 12:30. I sat at the sushi bar - the space felt inviting. I ordered a glass of sparkling wine after a bit of a wait. I also ordered a special roll, called the Diablo roll (pretty certain - it's not in their regular menu). Shrimp tempura, scallop, crab and asparagus with eel sauce. I always want to try the salmon sashimi at a new sushi spot because for me that is what gives a sense of how things will taste on the whole. If the salmon is outstanding, it says something for me. They sell nigiri by the piece, so I ordered a shiro maguro and a hamachi - one each. Overall, the fish was clean, fresh and delicious. The salmon belly sashimi was very good -- definitely not the best I've ever had, but I would have it again. The nigiri was correctly proportional - not too much rice for a nice piece of fish. They did not provide wasabi with any of my food, and it was not on the table - no ginger either. I suppose I could have asked, but I was already kind of pressed for time. The roll - although tasty - was extremely hot. Honestly took away from the enjoyment. I liked the flavor combinations though. Overall, a very good lunch. I always feel disappointed expressing any challenges I have at a restaurant that has a great vibe and kind staff. But I will say that I waited 25 minutes to even order. That kind of put me under pressure timewise to start with. It all turned out fine, but I will definitely say they could use another person to help out, even with a small space. If one person has four tables going in various stages of being seated, served or cashing out, service is definitely going to take a step back. I also don't quite understand why my roll was so hot. I expect that the tempura was pre-done, as well as the scallop. Perhaps it was on the heat too long before being placed on top of the cut roll. Still, the very kind staff, the good food, decent wine and bubbles choices, convenient parking and relatively reasonable prices warrant a 4 star rating. Perhaps I will return and try a different roll and see how things go on a different day.

    Tuna crunch appetizer (skipped the avocado, but the dish normally comes with it.)
    Rachel H.

    Nice space that formerly housed a hipster ice cream shop was repurposed by Keiko Fish. Keikos contains about 10 tables and a long sushi bar (a former ice cream counter, but you wouldn't know it) and from your seat you can see the action first hand. My favorite item was the tuna crunch with toasted rice, tuna, avocado and unagi sauce as a starter. Rolls ran about $20 but were large and much of the nigiri was about $6-$7 for a single piece of nigiri. The aesthetics in Keiko Fish are clean and bright: dark wood floors, modern cozy dining room, tons of windows. Fish here is plated nicely. The table setting was beautiful. Service seemed like it would be polished, but turned out to be unattentive: servers set down sushi without individual sushi plates or wasabi and ginger, and walked away, and had to be reminded. On the other hand, my nutty green tea was resupplied all night.

    Miso soup
    Emma S.

    Tonight was my son's and my first visit to Keiko Fish, but it won't be our last! One of the customers at the shop where I work was raving about the quality today and while I'm not the most devoted sushi diner, my son is! We were offered seats at the sushi counter and gladly accepted. There was a small staff on hand for a Saturday night and it had the feeling of being a family restaurant, given how friendly and welcoming everyone was to us. We ordered a tuna roll and miso soup to start. The tuna rolls were tightly wrapped and had a perfect balance of rice and excellent quality tuna. I've rarely seen tuna come out of the kitchen such a deep red color. I tried the Fried Onion Albacore Sashimi and found it a fun combination of crispy onions, naturally sweet, with smooth, tasty albacore, garnished with micro greens. My son let it be known that he loves tuna and the sushi chef offered to make him a "special tuna roll"! It was delicious! Tuna, rice, cilantro, yuzu, and other deliciousness... I didn't catch all of the ingredients, but suffice it to say, it was beautiful, filling and well balanced. Everything that came out of the kitchen was meticulously and artistically presented. While I enjoyed everything I tried tonight, I'm already planning what I'd like to try for my next visit: vegetable roll to start and then the hamachi crudo! My son is 20 and on our way out he admitted some of the terms like omakase and crudo were unfamiliar to him and he didn't work up the nerve to inquire. "Omakase" means Chef's choice and crudo usually denotes that the seafood/meat has been prepared with oil, citrus or vinaigrette, rather than soy sauce. Alaya was our main server, although Keiko explained the specials options and finished our service. We met Derrick and Eric behind the counter as well. Everyone was friendly and exceedingly kind. Unlike some Japanese restaurants where sushi rolls and sashimi are offered alongside teriyaki or tempura, Keiko Fish focuses purely on the fish, although there are a few other choices. If that's what you're looking for, the quality is spectacular and we were made to feel most welcome.

    This place is the best in downtown Larkspur. The ambience is cozy and modern. The food is delicious . I highly recommend KEIKO

    Spicy tuna
    Allie P.

    If you are a fan of Sushi Ran, you are going to love this place. High quality fish, clean and simple flavors. The menu is not overwhelming. They offer unique specials and can even do special request rolls. It's a great addition to the downtown. Looking forward to trying some more dishes!

    Crispy Rice to die for!
    Rachel L.

    Everything was spectacular here at Keiko Fish! By far the BEST sushi I've had in years. Tops my list for best sushi in Marin. But don't listen to me because I don't want it gaining too much popularity and becoming hard to get a table. lol. This place is pricey (honestly, worth every penny) so be careful when ordering because what's written on the white board/specials are sold by the piece not in pairs (which I think most are accustomed to) for this style is both brilliant and unfortunate. It's a great way to try new and unique pieces but not for your date, they don't get a bite. Trust me - this place is a superstar and I can't wait to indulge again soon. The staff was wonderful so friendly and knowledgeable even met the owner who's back behind the counter popping out fantastic dish after fantastic dish. Atmosphere is lovely, small, quaint and warm thanks to the open kitchen which also entertains the wondering eye. I wish I wasn't so obsessed with the food and remembered to take pics of all the dishes. (Only the first dish got photo opp.) Spicy Tuna on top of crispy rice, Avocado and eel sauce.

    Yellowtail Jalapeño. So beautiful.

We ordered a variety of sushi and also hot foods to try. We enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered. Looking back, I'm not sure if I had complaints about any particular one. I think the agedashi tofu is artfully done. I'm a long time ageda fan, while my boyfriend is iffy on it, but this one he thoroughly enjoyed. The fried fish with the house-made tartar sauce was a great appetizer to start off the meal. As for the fish, very fresh and quality. It was fun pairing the different sashimi with the variety of accoutrements like the shiso, lemon, and kelp. Service was fantastic as well. Overall, a lovely dinner experience and I would recommend others to visit Sushi Ran.
