    Liger Roll
    Mel S.

    While in San Ramon, was craving some sushi and saw good reviews for this place on Yelp. Came here around 8pm and I think they were closing at 9pm. Service and Staff: - Staff members were nice - we had a couple of different people helping us Food: - Liger roll: this is their take on a 49er roll (but they add shrimp to their roll). This was good - Umbeboshi roll: comes with umeboshi, shiso, and cucumber. You can definitely taste all of the ingredients, which is what you want for this Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking via a shared parking lot with other businesses - Good for small and large parties (there was a semi-separated room next to where we sat that had plenty of seating). They have tables and booths

    Kiss of the Lemon (best lemon drop ever)

    I feel dumb for living in San Ramon and not going here since they took over the old Zachary's Pizza. We went here last week to check it out and wow, we were impressed! Service was above and beyond. We felt welcomed and appreciated being checked on. We're a novice at sushi and I don't go often because I have shellfish allergies. What I appreciated is they worked around that and provided us with recommendations. We split a sushi trio and chicken teriyaki. I'm glad it was just the two of us because it worked out perfectly. If the kids joined us, I'd still be hungry. We love the aesthetic of the restaurant. You would not believe it used to be Zachary's pizza. Instead it was way more zen and an enjoyable experience. Can't wait to go back to my new sushi restaurant!

    The sushi and the ramen were delicious! The service was very attentive and the ambiance of the restaurant felt very inviting. I'm very particular with my sushi places and we tried this one since it is nearby. The ingredients tasted very fresh and the rolls were very well put together and didn't fall apart. Prices were on par with sushi in the area but felt affordable for the sizes of the rolls

    Three Kinjas Combo
    Jonathan C.

    Came here on a Saturday around 6pm. Restaurant was not too busy, and had some tables with chairs on the table as if they were closing. I assume they were short staffed on this day. Was seated promptly. Restaurant has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Yuzu Karage - 4/5: not exactly like Japanese Karage, but was still good. The included yuzu salt had a hint of yuzu, and was good with the Karage. Dark meat used was a definite plus, as it was juicy. Triple Kinja Roll - 4/5: great combination of salmon, cucumber and avocado topped with tuna, hamachi, massage and micro greens. All the fish was fresh, and worked well together. Three Kinjas Combo - 4/5: Chose salmon sashimi, California roll and chef's choice nigiri. Each was fresh, much better than I've had in the area. I've had so much different sushi including sashimi, nigiris, hand rolls and various rolls. For some reason, I crave a good California roll. The California roll here use real crab, and was excellent. Each of salmon, hamachi, hirame, tuna and eel was very good. Overall, great dinner. This is the second time I've come here, and do notice that it is bit hard to get refills of water or tea. Other than that, everyone was friendly. Great sushi spot in the area.

    Grilled Edamame

    Great service. Warm greeting when we walked in. Lots of staff to wait on you, check on you, serving, etc. Large restaurant and spacious. I like that there's space between tables. The fish is fresh and has amazing flavor. I usually rate my sushi based on the hamachi. I ordered a 2-piece nigiri while my husband got the Three Kinjas. I compared the nigiri and the sashimi. Both tasted good but the sashimi was mind-blowing! I should try the hamachi toro next time. Everything on the Three Kinja combo was fantastic! So good!! Tonkotsu Ramen was flavorful. The egg was jammy! The noodles had the perfect texture. The pork was not as tender as I hoped. I had to really bite into it to get a piece. Pork Tonkatsu was delicious. Tender and not greasy. I appreciate the side salad not being overly dressed. It was good. I almost ordered another one but my meal arrived.

    This was the best sushi of the 3 san Ramon Japanese Resturants I went to the past several months. The place is very clean; fish is fresh; and staff is friendly. I found my spot for sushi in Sam Ramon!

    I ordered the tempura squid.
    Jenner B.

    Wow! The food is amazing! I ordered a tempura fried squid and a pint of Kirin. Just a quick stop by woah the service was fast and the squid was delicious! I'm going to order more food next time! The ambience was sports type of area .

    Very quick service. Ramen broth was very flavorful and the pork was fatty and very tender. The deep fried seaweed was delicious that came with the ramen.

    Lunch special bento with tonkatsu
    Si Si L.

    Came here for lunch with a friend on a Wednesday. We came right when it opened, so it wasn't busy. There were some more people who came after us, but the place never filled up for lunch when we went. I got the tonkatsu bento box with sashimi and my friend got the chicken karaage. I didn't have the chicken karaage, so can't comment on it. The bento box had a nice variety, which I liked, with salad, gyoza, sashimi. The taste was generally good. The restaurant was quiet, so great for meeting up with a friend to catch up. Overall, it's a decent place for a casual meal.

    Came here after a spa day and it was a great choice! It's very nice and clean inside. Hostess greeted us right away. We didn't wait long on a Friday night, but they were definitely busy. Sushi was fresh and delicious!! We were very happy with our orders and will definitely be coming back!

    Really nice place for a sushi date night. The modern ambiance in here makes you feel like you're eating in a different city! Pretty solid spot with a good amount of options other than just sushi. I actually came here wanting the ramen and left loving both the ramen & sushi. There's free green tea on the house and it was slightly strong / not super bitter! Already had a good impression just from that being free, which is nice in this economy. I will say though that every special sushi roll was at a flat price of $20.50. We got the Pork Gyoza for the appetizer, Triple Kinja Roll, and Pork Tonkotsu Ramen. Pork Gyoza was crunchy and juicy. Good amount of serving. Triple Kinja Roll tasted so fresh and delicious with the assorted fish, but it could've used some sort of sauce like unagi sauce to seal the deal in my opinion. The ramen surprised us and it ended up being our favorite out of the three. Not the best broth I've had, but still pretty rich and the crunchy seaweed tempura adds a nice touch to the bouncy noodles. 2 thick tender slices of pork was also scrumptious. #atethatup Definitely would love to come back here! Friendly service as well and we were seated right away on a Wednesday night.

    Excellent sushi! Very fresh ingredients and everything was delicious. Service was perfect. Nothing could have been better this is a good choice for Japanese food and sushi. I really like the salmon that had the perfectly charred skin.

    Wakame salad
    Nina Z.

    No complaints! The Saketini uses unfiltered sake which was a change. We ordered a variety of rolls, grilled edamame, tempura, and the spicy tonkatsu ramen per recommendation from our server. Definitely hit the spot! Ambiance was rustic, clean, well-lit, and inviting. Would definitely recommend!

I mentioned…read morethat there were a lot of shops at Bishop Ranch, so we chose this as our meeting location. From all the available shops, she really wanted ramen, so we gave this place a try. They are located on the second level of the center and there was plenty of seating. My friend and her boyfriend and I were seated right away with the kind waitress. Looking at the menu, I know I had to try their signature ramen as well as a delicious appetizer. Chicken Karaage: This was delicious and crispy. The chicken was also moist and the Mayo sauce was good. I really enjoyed how the chicken was not oily at all and it was packed with flavor. This was a delicious starter. Hiroshi Tonkotsu Ramen: This is their signature ramen. It is a pork broth ramen filled with thinner noodles, an egg, bamboo, mushrooms, scallions and some truffle oil of sort, and not to mention two pieces of pork. Overall, this was a delicious broth. The soup was not too salty for me and the flavor was divine. The noodles were a bit thin for my liking, but still good. My only gripe was that once the broth settles and you eat most of everything, I cannot sip my broth due to the grainy texture I get at the end. Overall, I had a good time here with my friend and her boyfriend. I see myself coming back here again.

It was a rainy day and I wanted to get something with soup to warm me up. The mall and restaurant was quite empty for a Monday evening and I was able to get a table fairly quick. The hostess/server was very nice and professional. I ordered the Hiroshi Tonkatsu Ramen together with the Spicy Chicken Wings. The ramen itself was just OK. It was not a memorable taste and the broth was a little lacking. The spicy chicken wing were also a little lacking in flavor. It just seem to have a spicy taste and the wing were quite small (serving size of 4 wings). Overall it was just OK.

Ill start with the positive portion of my review. We ordered Butter Chicken & Garlic Naan. Flavors were very good. I asked to keep spicy on the mild side. It was perfect. We only ordered 1 item because i was a bit put off by the service for a ToGo order. The waiter carried on a LOUD conversation with the other clerk in their language. I felt no opportunity to ask about another dish or appetizers. The restaurant was rather loud with several conversations and laughter going on loudly amongst the young male employees - seemed like they were the owners. As I mentioned, the Butter Chicken was good,, but so is the Butter Chicken from Trader Joe's at 1/4 the price. Conveniently located,, but im not sure I would return,, with another NEW Indian restaurant opening across the freeway ( near SPROUTS).
