    Mujiri has solid options, and I love their specialty varieties. Recently came back for their classic nigiri combo, but also had some specials that were delicious! They also added some ponzu/shiso pairing which made it extra delicious. There's always good quality at Mujiri. It was busy even on a weekday night.

    $25 omakase set
    Samuel C.

    Make a reservation! This place gets crowded, and crowded fast -- so you really do need a reservation before you go. This place serves reasonably priced, fresh sushi. We got the ~$25 omakase set -- although I would say this is more "set" than your traditional "omakase," given that it arrives all in one platter without much ceremony. If you're looking for the formal, traditional omakase, this won't be it -- but again, it's much cheaper than traditional omakase. It was definitely good and worth the price. I docked a star because at some point in the middle of our dinner, the waitress came up to us and told us we needed to move to the bar because our table needed to be used for a reservation. We politely pointed out that we had actually specifically made a table reservation, and then she asked for the reservation name as if to double check. But we had already given the reservation name when we walked in and were seated at that specific table. Understandable since they do get busy, but it was a little off-putting to say the least.

    Hidden on the side of the road this small sushi joint is always easy to spot because there is usually a line of people waiting out front! Waited about 1.5 hours to get a seat which was probably the only frustrating part/not much seating outside to wait on but besides that once we were seated. We enjoyed a delicious meal. We got all sorts of different sushis/sashimis/hand rolls and loved the unique combos! The spacing inside was a bit crammed like I felt a little too close to everyone next to me but besides that loved the music and decor of the space! A but pricey so be prepared to spend some money for delicious food! Service was quick and efficient! Some of the best sushi in the Bay Area for sure! Will be back for more!

    Nigiri Combo
    Alice H.

    This place had been on my want-to-go list for a while, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered their Nigiri Combo for pickup through DoorDash. You can choose up to 7 pieces of nigiris and 5 pieces of daily maki (chief's choice). I went with the Maguro (Big Eye Tuna), Hamachi (Yellow Tail), Salmon, Umi Masu (Ocean Trout), Kanpachi( Amberjack), Hotate (Hokkaido Scallop), Toro (Spain Bluefin Tuna. The fish was pretty fresh and delicious, and the price is quite reasonable. The only downside was the wait time. I placed my order at 1:30 PM and selected a 7:20 PM pick-up window. When I got to the restaurant, the order was not ready, and the staff told me it would be another 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of waiting, I came back to the restaurant, and the food was still not ready. I didn't get my food until around 7:50 PM. It made me wonder what the point is of scheduling a pick-up time when I ordered so far in advance.

    In the Bay, this is one of the best sushi places given the price. The sashimi is fresh and buttery and it's just really well prepared. It gets extremely crowded so it is important to make reservations. We usually get the Nigiri set for $28 and it is well worth the price. We also enjoy the drinks and the salad. Sushi just melts in your mouth.

    We have been to Mujiri in Hayward for their nigiri and enjoyed it. Stopped by the Oakland location on our way to wine country and it was delicious! Loved that there are more seating available here. Staff were nice and the nigiri were as good as we remembered. We will definitely be back again!

    Our visit here was long overdue. My wife and I moved to the area about 10 months ago, but this place was on my radar even before that. It's a small establishment, but service is quick and friendly. We came for a late, weeknight dinner, but if you come during peak hours, you may be in for a wait. It is definitely worth it though! Everything is super fresh and the prices for the quality are superb. We got sashimi, and app, and a hot sake, and it was the perfect amount of food for us that night. I look forward to coming back for the nigiri combo next time. Oh, and they can accommodate those with gluten sensitivity, which is a plus.

    Great service and quality food. The sashimi and nigiri tastes so fresh, probably the closest taste to what it tastes like in Japan. Recommend reservation beforehand! Limited seating.

    The nigiri combo is one of the best deals in town. The quality of fish is consistently amazing and for less than $30 I always leave satisfied. I would not come here if you have a large party since the restaurant is small, but worth trying if you are in town! Make a reservation because it gets crowded fast! especially for dinner.

    My twin sister has been raving about the place for a long time so I thought I'd try it! I went during lunch time on a weekday and there was no wait. It's a cozy spot! The fish was so fresh and buttery for most of the nigiri. She suggested that I order the nigiri combo with: 1. Toro 4/5 2. Sake: 4/5 3. Hamachi: 3/5 4. Ocean Trout: 5/5 5. Arctic Char: 4/5 6. Amberjack: 4/5 7. Snow Crab (+$4): 1/5 Very fishy. Didn't taste fresh. They included hamachi maki which was good. The hamachi, which is normally my favorite fish, just didn't taste incredible when I went. Pros: - Extremely fresh fish for the most part - Great selection of fish - Cozy seating at the tables - Sushi rice was perfection Cons: - Very loud pop music playing made it difficult to talk and took away from the ambiance - Some of the fish cuts were pretty tough - Difficult to get waiter's attention after our food was ordered

    Spicy Salmon Maki roll and the vegetarian plum roll

    5+ Stars! We made a reservation a few days in advance for a Friday night at 6:30--and I'm so glad we did because there was already a wait when we arrived. The service was outstanding, and the food was even better! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, especially regarding gluten-free options--my mom has celiac, and it was such a relief to know everything (except the specials) is seasoned with tamari. It made choosing gluten-free dishes easy and stress-free. We ordered the Kaisou Salada, Umi Masu Sashimi, Premium Nigiri Combo, Salmon with Japanese Mint Leaf Roll, Spicy Salmon Maki, and the Japanese Plum and Mint Roll. Every dish was fantastic, but the Japanese Plum and Mint Roll was our absolute favorite--we loved it so much, we ordered another! The nigiri was unbelievably fresh--this is hands-down the best sushi I've had in America. It genuinely felt like being back in Japan. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

    I've had this place bookmarked for so long and finally made it out here! Went here with my friend on a Wednesday night around 7pm and got seated immediately on a table in the corner. It's quite a small space, so if you want to sit at the bar, you should make reservations on Yelp prior. We ordered their $35 sashimi combo, and their $25 nigiri combo. I opted to make my own selection of fish -- I asked for the salmon, arctic char, ocean trout, amberjack, black snapper, scallop, and toro. I wasn't sure what each fish was when they brought it out, but I think they ended up mistakenly giving me 2 salmon instead of the amberjack )-: It was such a shame because I was offered the amberjack from the sashimi combo, and it was both our favorite cut of the night! Nevertheless, all the fish was delicious and tasted super fresh and I was a fan of the pre-seasoned rice. I think this place is quite reasonably priced, and I can definitely see myself coming here again.

    Cute restaurant! They have an indoor and outdoor space. Great nigiri and sashimi set options. Great price for the quality of fish you're getting. Street parking nearby!

Server and Chef were super friendly and welcoming. While I waited, the chef brought me a nice little sample to try. Really refreshing and delicious. I ordered a lychee lemonade and edamame to start. Both really good. I had to refrain from drinking and eating it all so I didn't get full before my food came. Would order both again. (Maybe add some liquor in the lemonade lol ) For my main dish, I went with the 10 piece nigiri omakase and upgraded $10 to include toro. Pieces of fish were huge and delicious. Surprisingly the toro wasn't my favorite but still was really good! The shrimp head was a nice treat! I ordered dessert even though I was stuffed cause I couldn't help myself: matcha tres leche (which I was told was their most popular dessert). It didn't disappoint! Restaurant was clean and well taken care of. They were updating the signs on the window as well which I'm sure is going to look great. If you're in the area, give them a try. Already looking forward to my next visit!

The space is very cozy, quiet, almost unassuming. For a Saturday evening, there were only 3-4 parties around us. I was relieved as some of our favorite sushi spots in this area tend to require reservations. We were welcomed graciously and were happy to hear the staff's recommendations. SALMON SPECIAL: !!! Pretty unique! I loved the beet-marinated salmon, this was nice and sweet. The green curry was interesting, though outshone by the former. TUNA TATAKI: A LOT of topping for a tataki...! Like overflowing! I liked it ^_^ But a lot of onion and texture. I mainly was curious towards the ponzu soy mayo, which didn't fail to be bright and flavorful. BACON OF THE SEA: My partner is the BIGGEST fan of salmon skin so this was a must-have. SO good. Crispy outside, tender inside, plus all the fatty goodness throughout. SAKE DON: Supa fresh!! With thick cuts. The rice is seasoned well, not too sour. I could've done without the lemon slices, but it might be someone else's cup of tea. Overall, pretty solid sake don :3 We got lucky with parking and found a spot across the street... But I'd come a bit earlier to scout out the area if you've driving.
