    This is a great place to eat udon on a chilly evening! We also tried the donburi that had a good proportion & came with a complimentary miso soup. The food was great but minus one star because they only had two servers for the whole restaurant and they couldn't keep up with all the tables. They checked in on us once but we had to wait a long time to get the check.

    This place is great!!!The rolls were really good, the lemon drop was so good and the chef gave us some sushi to try and it was so good. The baked mussels were really good too. The team was super nice and helpful and happy to give recommendations.I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

    It was Friday date night, and my better half and I didn't want to drive far, so we tried Naked Fish. We've driven, but only a few times. It's in a strip mall by Safe Way and 24 Hour Fitness. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant is small but has roughly 14 tables set up in 4 tops and 2 tops, and there are about a dozen chairs around the sushi bar. Decor is just okay. Don't sit at the front tables by the door; you will freeze. We did, and we ended up asking to move. The menu is a fairly normal sushi restaurant menu. They did have specials, but we were never told them. They have them written on a chalkboard, but then people sit in front of the chalkboard, so we didn't see it until after our order was taken. We ordered: Bento Box Two Miso Soups Agedashi Tofu Spicy Tuna Roll Miso soup was super tasty and very nice on a chilly night. Bento was good. My better half enjoyed it. Agedashi Tofu was good. The sauce was a bit salty, but I like that, so it didn't bother me. The tofu was soft and creamy. Spicy tuna roll--I never received it, so I wouldn't know. I had the tofu and soup and ordered the spicy tuna roll. My better half and I shared the tofu, and then his Bento arrived. Still no Tuna Roll. My better half literally had one piece of chicken left on his plate when a server asked me, "Can we get you anything?" I said you never brought me dinner. They never came back and told me why. They did apologize and remove my soup and tofu from the bill. I don't know if they were understaffed or just focusing more on the number of to-go orders they had, but I left hungry. The staff is very kind. They are the reason for the two stars. I hate downing local businesses. However, the system has to get better. I'm just not sure how you missed my dinner. Anyway, life goes on. One other thing to note: They charge you for take out containers. You mean if I buy my food, sit down in the restaurant, eat, and don't finish, I have to pay you more to take it home with me? Nice. I'll bring Tupperware next time. It was not a great experience, but again, kudos to the staff for trying. I'll be back to try again. Remember to eat local!

    Naked Fish is a cool spot for Japanese food. Staff is friendly and attentive. I like the baked mussels. The topping is creamy and compliments the mussels. The spicy tuna rolls are delicious. It's a favorite of ours to order. The assorted sashimi is good. Decent sized pieces of fish and tastes fresh. Teriyaki chicken is good. It's one of my favorites on the menu.

    Just look at the quality now compare the before

    This place is not the same - the food sucks and not to mention the portions for the price point - I understand prices have to go up - but this is a typical restaurant downhill model- charge more with food quality goes down $25 for 6 little piece of dirty fried sesame chicken- plus the owner is loud telling the workers not to serve too much old fish and meat - SAD THIS PLACE WAS SOOO GOOD BACK THEN - owner has established customers who know the food sucks but since they don't know where else to go they come back - explore - take risks - there are other Japanese restaurants that would love your service and make you fresh sushi - this place should have been closed down a long time ago -

    This place will always be a go to for my family and I. Personally, I have always had mixed reviews of this place but always coming back here because of how often my parents love to come here, so it holds a lot of sentimental value. The reason I say I have always had mixed reviews is just because- to put it plainly- I have been to other sushi places that I simply would prefer to go to over this place! Sometimes the rolls here might not be as fresh or not as high in quality compared to other places. This will definitely show after trying out many different sushi places. However, I WILL tell you this, you will never find another place that'll have sushi and bentos for this price!! You get a great bang for your buck here and they will never skimp you on anything! My go to roll here is the Sunny Roll - its basically a crunchy california roll and its super good. I really have been to many many other sushi places and none have ever been this place in terms of price! Theyre very consistent with their food. The in-restaurant service is also always very good. There is a sweet older man who always serves us when we're there and he always greets us with a smile, treats us well, and always checks on us! If youre looking for some pretty good sushi, packed bento boxes, and more for a good price definitely think about coming here!!!! Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Bang for your buck: 5/5

    Why are they not answering their phone are they closed?

    Currently, during pandemic, their hours are from 4pm to 9pm for take out and dine-in. They are not open for lunch time hence why nobody answers the phone prior to 4pm.

    Do they have a different number? Every time I call it's busy.

    Not sure if there is a different number. However they may be offering take out so best go there direct and ask. Sorry I don't have a better answer than this.

    What are the store hours? Can we call ahead to place and order?

    For the Shelter-In-Place, 4-9 PM. You can call ahead to place an order but it may be busy/take awhile to reach someone during peak hours.

    Is Naked Fish open during the shelter in place? I've tried calling a few times but no answer.

    They are open but later in the evening

I have always had fond memories of this place, even with it being constantly packed and busy, and with limited seating. I finally had the chance to revisit recently, and brought my husband along. We went on a Sunday, so it was inevitably packed. The parking lot is as crusty as I remember, but that's part of what makes no-frills, hole-in-the-wall restaurants solid. The ambiance inside is loud and cramped, but we were here for the food. Service was decent, all the servers were so busy taking care of everyone, I can only imagine the chaos in the kitchen. And hands down did the food deliver. The price of everything was reasonable, and the flavors were delicious. I went with the dduk bulgogi while my husband went with the mixed soondubu (medium spicy). The banchan variety was splendid, and honestly I couldn't choose a favorite. I loved the creamy potato and corn mixture, since that was unique. Sometimes restaurants skimp on banchan portions, but not here. My dduk bulgogi was packed with veggies, rice cakes, tender beef, and glass noodles. The broth had a good depth of flavor, and was not oily or rich. My husband's mixed soondubu was also delightful. I had a quick sip of his broth and it had a lovely umami flavor. The spice level was perfect. We did both wonder, however, why his bowl didn't come out bubbling while mine did. Regardless, it was still steaming hot. Both portions of soup were served with rice, and we thoroughly enjoyed taking our time savoring each bite. I dumped the remainder of my rice into the broth at the very end and that was the perfect way to end our meal. We are almost never in Hayward, since we generally frequent other parts of the bay, but I would definitely return and try some other dishes next time. Everyone always orders the seafood pancake (and a ton of people were when we went and it looked so good). Of course if I had enough stomach space, I would have ordered that too. Well that just means I have to go back, haha. All in all, don't let the location or exterior fool you. The food is solid and The Sister House is definitely one of my favorite Korean spots in the bay.

The broth is flavorful and seasoned to perfection. The soup is packed with meat and noodles. The spring rolls are fresh, the ingredients they use really make a difference in quality of the food. The fried potstickers are crunchy and delicious and the sauce they paired it with was sweet and balanced the flavor of the potstickers. Even though it was busy, the kitchen was quick and we had our food within minutes of ordering. This place has so much more than pho, I'll be back to try more from their extensive menu!

We threw in the eggplant order because we wanted some veggies and something that didn't overtly threaten to numb our palettes and were very happy with that as well. Chicken was fried well and not dry at all which was a lovely experience. Fish was also flavorful and enjoyable to eat, although perhaps the least memorable of the dishes. I wouldn't NOT get any of the dishes again and might elevate the chicken as a must get if you're there for the a Szechuan experience. Well probably come back the next time we get a craving for that nummy feeling.
