    My favorite sushi spot in east bay! quality fish, great service, and love the bar seating. Their prices are very reasonable too

    Rianne L.

    The fish quality was really good, I definitely recommend the salmon taster and the salmon belly. Definitely go for the chef's choice of nigiri, it was great. The Sake selection is solid and the wait staff is very nice. I would definitely go for a reservation as the restaurant is very small

    this is my type of place. focus is on the quality to price ratio. under 30 for 8 nigiri and maki set. not best but high enough to do the job. would be my go to spot in the east bay

    $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.

    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.

    Specials

    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.

    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!

    Sashimi Combo 刺身コンボ
    Lucy W.

    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.

    Toro hand rolls
    Jen O.

    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.

    Umami Tai
    Anthony S.

    This sushi place really stands out to me for its high quality nigiri. The pieces are a little smaller than other places, but I like the smaller size. The rice is really fresh and soft, and it's lightly seasoned with some sort of soy sauce. We ordered several appetizers and got the nigiri combo, toro trio, and salmon tasting. For appetizers I really liked the unique flavor combinations of the Umami Tai red snapper sashimi and the Maguro Neba-Neba big eye tuna. The snapper came in a light yuzu broth, and it was paired with baby parsley that added a bright herbal flavor. The tuna came with mountain yam and natto, which was a really unique sweet and umami combination. The nigiri was a good size and a really great deal at $28. I enjoyed the salmon rolls that came with it that had chopped up shiso leaves inside. The toro trio and salmon tasting were also exceptional. With highlights including the snapper belly which was lightly torched on top for a nice texture and extremely flavorful ikura seasoned in sweet soy sauce. We finished our meal with some chilled warabi mochi in kinako soybean powder and a sweet syrup. An amazing meal solidifying Mujiri as my favorite sushi spot in the Bay.

    Nigiri Combo
    Allegra G.

    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

That said, their sashimi sets are fresh, and their baked rolls are consistently good, so I'd recommend sticking with those.

The East Bay-inspired murals add so much character, and the fresh flowers make the space feel inviting. They also have outdoor heaters when it gets chilly, so it's a great spot to enjoy a meal outside. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but overall it's still a solid sushi spot that I wouldn't mind coming back to.

We've been to plenty of ramen places in this life, but this one is one of the special ones that I keep reflecting upon after my visit.

I will say that the Vegan Ramen I also tried was pretty spicy for me at the "normal" spice level, but still I ate all of it! =).
