    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I ordered the tempura squid.

    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 .

    Cherry Blossom, Jalapeño Hamachi Roll and Kappa Maki

    The sushi is so delicious! The service is great, they are friendly and attentive. Everything tastes so fresh! Def would come back next time I'm in town!

    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.

    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!

    In San Ramon for a baptism a few Sundays ago, stopped at Kinja with my son and goddaughter for lunch. It was empty at the time we got there, clean and inviting. We were seated right away and helped with recommendations. We ordered pork gyosa, miso soup, California rolls, Rainbow and firefighter we got our food and it was amazing.

    First they are very welcoming, treat you like they have known you for ever. That's good, but the food, it was delicious! I had the deep fried spicy tuna roll, I know it's not sushi! And I had the udon noodles. Very good. Our waitress was fantastic! We will definitely be back!

    Black widow and Dragon Roll. Didn't stop there, had to add some tempura shrimp and veggies.

    Delicious, fresh, excellent service. Plan on returning again as I have my own business right up the street. And the game is playing in the bar!

    Dragon from another Sushi restaurant ,NOT WELL PLATED & not fresh !!!  No pride taken on this sushi roll !!!

    This sushi restaurant was suggested by a friend who enjoys the food & service . Our servers were Nick , Michelle & Fon all genuinely upbeat , efficient & very nice . I had just written on a sushi place that was AYCE & table tablet , I would personally prefer a full service over AYCE b/c you have a server who is engaged , personable , able to handle a reasonable amount of tables . Nick , Michelle, Fon did an outstanding & amazing job . All the sushi & food we ordered was exceptional & well presented & that includes the cocktails our husbands ordered . We ordered the Baby Yoda roll, Dragon roll , Lion King , Tonkotsu Ramen , crab stuffed jalapenos, fried oysters , poke salad, pork gyoza , teriyaki steak & tempura black sesame seed ice cream we did shared all these items family style. All the rolls we tried were all unique & fresh . I will post a side by side of what our dragon roll from another place look like & the presentation from KINJA was clean & plated well . My husband had a tequila mule x 2 & our friend had a Manhattan x 2 & I shared w/my cousin a Soju Lychee never tried that flavor & surprisingly good . Overall it was a delightful dining experience & the sushi & the other dishes we tried out were on point delicious . We will definitely be back. This restaurant is very very clean & decor is simple & not overly done . Can I have the SOJU street sign ... lol! Love the vibe & we had a great time . See y'all soon & check this sushi restaurant out ! It's well worth it !

    So I remember this place…read more Years ago I would go hang out with my girlfriend after she got off work, and we would go to their Walnut Creek location if we had a craving for Ramen. The very first time I had them, I thought it was really good. But for some reason over time I felt like the quality in flavor slightly went down over time. That being the case I was a little worried about trying this other location since my previous experience wasn't the best. However recently Im happy to say that my experience was a bit better than the last time. I really enjoyed the Karaage. The meat was crispy and juicy. As for my ramen, I got a Tonkotsu. My favorite thing with ramen is the broth. Hiroshi's broth was really tasty. I think sometimes you'll never have as good experience as the first time you try something. That's how I feel with this Ramen place. The ramen was good but it just scratches the itch for me. It's not something that makes me crave it again the next day.

    This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of a really nice outdoor mall in San Ramon. There is…read moreplenty of parking available. 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.

The salad was chilled - it really brought back good memories and the miso soup was perfect - they arrived really quick to the table. We ordered 3 rolls total and the first roll - tiger - was delivered soon after. The other two came together because one was baked. The lion king is super - I love it hot. The Danville is one of my favorites with the jalapeños. The tiger was on my list and I really wanted to try it. I was impressed. Everything on the vast menu has been fantastic. Everything i have tried has been a win. I like where it's located in San Ramon. Easy access and great parking. It's nice inside and has an open floor plan that allows you to see the kitchen- so that's a plus for me. We sit in about and it's comfortable and roomy for 5 . Everything about Yayume is a win. Price , service, location. Great service from a family owned restaurant is a big plus. Just say yes - you will be happy you did.
