Ordering is by an iPad so it's pretty quick and convenient even for tea/water/ban chan refills. I'm addicted to their kimchi and get several refills... so flavorful without being too spicy. The combos are a great option to try two different dishes and share between 2-3 people. If getting the Korean bbq, the lettuce wraps with the addictions are a delicious way to devour the meat without feeling guilty from loading up on carbs. Overall, a wonderful Korean restaurant on the east bay.

The location was easy to find and there was ample parking. Inside the had our group table ready. The menu had various Japanese foods, including sushi, bento boxes, ramen, sukiyaki, and entree items. It was quite expansive with something for everyone. Also loved that they offer lunch prices on the weekend. The food was impressive! Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked. And the portions were huge. Highlights were the short rib ramen, tempura, karaage, and salmon. What really made the experience was the service. The staff were wonderful! They were so kind and so patient. Also loved how they treated our kids. They gave them a little treat on our way out. We were really happy with Tokyo Feng and highly recommend anyone to try them out. We hope to come back soon

Easy to park locatioin. I always get the Sashimi and Nigiri 9 piece combo which is a screaming deal for $21. We've been there many times and always good.

We've been here a couple of times now, and my hubby and I really like this place. The atmosphere is…read morevery warm and fairly cozy. Tables are spread out so you are not on top of each other. It appears to be popular with families as well. It was a Friday evening after 9pm, kind of late for us to eat very much but I needed something so we popped in. It was quiet, maybe three or four other tables. Our food server was patient as I looked over the fairly large menu. Ended up with some of my current faves: hamachi nigiri, California roll, yam roll, and salmon skin roll. Everything was thoughtful, well prepared, and delicious. It was just enough food and I was good for the night. On our second visit, my hubby and I brought my dad for lunch to celebrate his 88th birthday. It was pouring rain outside but we were fortunate to get parking right outside the door. We ended up sitting by the window which was the same table we sat at during our first visit. We ordered gyoza (6) for the table. We all ordered bento. Dad had the beef short ribs and California roll, hubby had the Vegetable tempura and California roll, I had the Saba shiyoyaki and hamachi sashimi. All three came with miso soup and salad. Everything was delicious. My fish was well seasoned and moist, dad's beef short ribs were tender, hubby's tempura was light and crisp. Lunch was very reasonably priced for all we ordered. I am definitely a fan of this place and look forward to dining here again.

Our go-to order includes the salmon skin salad, edamame (they should totally do a garlic spicy version -- it's my favorite), miso soup, and the Superman Signature Roll, which never disappoints. We love supporting local businesses, and Yoshio truly feels like a hidden gem. Consistently great food, a cozy atmosphere, and just an all-around solid spot we keep coming back to.

I have never been to Japan but I imagine this is what a local traditional sushi bar would be like. It was really clean as well. I read great reviews for the Bento Box - so I got one. Short rib was good. Miso Salmon & steamed egg dish was just okay. I thought it was such a good deal I went back a couple more times. The first it was late night Monday I expected it to be quiet which it definitely was. A table of four & 2 other tables of 2 - then me. Just me. The service was kind of slow. I went a couple more times while on assignment every time the service was just okay.

The server was very happy to explain to me how the shop came to use the purple rice, which is a combination of White and black rices. It is more influenced by Korean cuisine than Japanese, but you just gotta love the inventiveness and style.

The ambiance is elevated, precise and elegant. We appreciated the special touches of service as well as the kind people working.

We will be back very soon to try more!

A neighborhood gem with fresh & creative sushi…read more The restaurant is small with a few tables on the sidewalk. We were only able to secure the first lunch seating for our party of 6. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive. (I was amused by the "tablet" that grew into a handtowel when water was added) We ordered Smoked Hamachi Roll (a must & IG worthy), fresh oysters, Hamachi Roll, Pacific Roll, Sushi and Sashimi Set, Hamachi Collar set, 7 handroll set. The fish is so fresh and rice-ratio was perfect. We had such a pleasant dining experience. Butterfish will be our go-to spot for sushi in Berkeley area

I got the Temaki Gochisou Lunch Set…read more The edamame is surprisingly filling and cucumber sunomono is refreshing. I enjoyed all the hand rolls, but I had been hoping to be handed a handroll directly from the chef at the bar as I eat. Since the hand rolls are open taco-style, you get a nice presentation of the toppings. Service was great, keeping my water cup filled several times. 3 rolls would have been enough for me to not be hungry by itself, but with the lunch special appetizers I left full. I think this is fairly approachable Japanese handroll restaurant with a diy trio for a more interactive dining experience, cooked fish options, and accommodating to vegans.

They were all served warm and thoughtfully seasoned. I had to order another Saba (mackerel) because it was a surprise hit for us. Don't get me wrong, the black cod with truffle butter is their stand out for a reason but their mackerel was nicely seared on top and had perfect umami with the miso ginger. I hope they never change that lunch set. We also ordered the 5 omakaset, and they were all good, but I have to say my 3 set was the best. A delicious meal and well worth the price for the quality of fish and service.

For one price we sat in there for 3 1/2 hours and he made these incredible handmade Japanese specialties with fish that was flown in fresh from Japan at top quality. This is a very unusual thing in the United States to find something that wonderful but in Japan, it's something that is highly respected. You don't order off the menu which you can I imagine but you don't need to because you're fed incredible fresh clean cuts of seafood at this place. The ambience is very nice and it's very comfortable there and it's by reservation only and it's a bit pricey so be prepared for that but it's an experience of a lifetime. Thank you chef for making my wife and I so welcome.

The ramen didn't come with the burnt garlic oil on top, but they did included garlic cloves. It didn't help with the flavors though. The overall flavor was on the bland side. I mean I can taste the corn and bamboo shoots but I want the whole thing. Anyway it's the cheapest ramen around so there's that. No complaints about the staff or cleanliness. The lady interacted well with the customers and I saw the staff cleared the tables in a timely manner.
