Was very excited to try this place. Arrived at around 11:50. We had dogs with us so we were waiting to be sat outside, the server made eye contact from inside, but only came to greet us after we waited a few minutes and finally called out to her from the doorway. After being seated and given menus, we waited another 10 min with no service, and I decided to walk in and wash my hands. On my way out of the restroom, the server was finishing chatting with the only customer inside of the restaurant. I asked if we could have some water brought to the table, and she nodded. 5 min or so after I asked her for the water, the customer who was inside was walking out, and we chatted for a bit. Come to find out the sushi chefs and kitchen staff were not available due to the traffic on the freeway. I was in the same traffic, and I knew it was really bad. That was not the issue. The server never came out to our table. She never told us what was going on. We were left hanging for almost 20 min with zero contact, other than dropping the menus, and requesting waters that we never recieved. At an empty restaurant. There was no notice posted out front, there was nothing said from the server. If I was stopping in during a lunch break, I would not have been able to dine elsewhere due to the time I wasted sitting at this place waiting for service. All it took was for the server to let us know the situation and I would have tried to come back some other time. There were 20 full minutes - plenty of opportunity - to make best of a bad situation, and none were taken. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Yelp really needs to offer zero stars--or negative stars--for experiences like this. STAY AWAY. Terrible service, cold pre-made food, questionable seafood freshness, and a staff attitude that ruined a family birthday dinner. We came here for my sister-in-law's birthday during a weekend getaway. Our 5:30 p.m. reservation for party of 5 was easy because the restaurant was empty. We chose to sit outside since the weather was nice. At first, everything seemed fine. The waiter brought menus, dinnerware, cups, and water quickly and took our order in a reasonable amount of time. Then the food came out suspiciously fast. The chawanmushi was lukewarm, which is completely wrong for a steamed egg custard that should be served hot and freshly steamed. That made me wonder how much had been prepared too early and left sitting around. The chicken karaage, lemon salmon, tempura udon, agedashi tofu, sashimi, and nigiri sampler were all forgettable. At best, it was average Japanese food for an area with limited options. Worse, the fish had a noticeable "fishy" taste, which raised serious concerns about freshness or storage. The final item we ordered was Curry Tonkatsu, but regular tonkatsu came out instead. We left it untouched because we wanted to send it back or exchange it. By then, we were almost 40 minutes into dinner, everyone had run out of water, and the waiter still had not checked on us. When we finally saw him after another long disappearance, we asked him to come over and clarify the order. That is where the entire table lost its appetite. When we explained that we had ordered Curry Tonkatsu, the waiter became defensive and insisted, loudly and condescendingly, that he had asked whether we wanted curry and that we had said tonkatsu. My sister-in-law explained she said tonkatsu because the menu offered a choice between tonkatsu and chicken katsu, but he kept scolding her. The worst part? She apologized repeatedly--on her own birthday--while he doubled down and said, "Besides, we already made it." So we were supposed to accept the wrong order because the kitchen had already made it? There was zero ownership, zero hospitality, and zero professionalism. My husband asked if we could at least get a side of curry, and we also asked for water. The waiter left and did not return for another 20 minutes. When he finally came back outside, he served the large table next to us first. By the time he reached us, the pitcher ran out, so only three of five people got water. We had to share what little we received before he returned again. The curry side did not arrive until about half an hour after we asked for it. When it finally came out, it was cold and served in a plain white bowl. Either it had been made far too early and left out, or they are microwaving pre-made food for guests. By then, the meal was already ruined. At that point, we just wanted to pay and leave. Everyone was still hungry, but no one had an appetite after being talked down to, ignored, left without water on a hot summer evening, and made to feel punished for questioning a wrong order. The waiter never checked on us again, so we went inside to pay at the register ourselves. As we left, we passed him, and he did not acknowledge us at all. Maybe this place gets a pass because the area has limited Japanese options, but calling it an izakaya is a joke. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was worse than anything I have experienced at far more ordinary restaurants in the midwest like IOWA or MINNESOTA. I will never come back, and I will warn others. Cold food that tasted pre-made or microwaved, seafood that raised freshness concerns, non-existent service, water treated like a luxury, and a waiter more interested in proving a point than fixing a problem. I am genuinely appalled. Avoid this place. read more

Came here for a date night. It has casual hole in the wall vibes. We sat outside the night was perfect. I ordered the angry edamame, Brussels kushiyaki, and tempura veggie roll. My husband ordered the Hirame Carpacccio, Salmon lemon roll and bacon wrapped mochi. He claimed the bacon wrapped mochi had the best bites of the night. It appeared to have the same sauce as the Brussel sprouts which was delicious. The angry Edamame had a delicious chili garlic oil. The food was solid. The service was attentive and friendly. read more

We came on a weekend on our way up to Guerneville. Though we made reservations, no table was available and server had to reseat someone to make space for us. I guess these folks wanted to su5 outside and they forget they had reso for us outside. We ordered handrolls and appetizers (karaage and agedashi tofu). Food came pretty quickly and taste decent. Nothing wow but decent food for the price. The sets for hand rolls were reasonable. The waiter /seemed stress out, must be hard to be a single server for whole restaurant. The beer also came nice and cold. Will return on drive up again but nothing special to go out of the way to come. read more

Oni Kuma - Nigiri sampler - Izakaya Near Me - Mill Valley, California

This place is hidden in a corner to the left of whole foods. I came in with my husband and daughter. I said hi two times but the chef or host didn't notice Us. When they did, We were seated right away. I wanted to sit my baby in the booth but the host insisted I use a high chair. I feel like the rules here are a little strict. We ordered iced green tea which tasted authentic but just a little watered down. I still drank it of course. the food came out really quickly after ordering. The spicy tuna don was delicious and had ikura on top. My husband was full off that. I ordered the hoseki bako which is a wooden tray with 9 different compartments. it had assorted fish, an oyster, tofu, and fried mushrooms. It was really beautiful to look at!!!! I recommend getting this just so you can get a little of everything. The fried enoki mushrooms are shockingly tasty! The mushroom flavor is not overpowering and is a unique snack. They sell a variety of handrolls here too. I would try that next time. read more

On our way back to Sonoma County, my boyfriend and I were craving sushi and since our go-to spot Hana in Rohnert Park closed, we decided to try Oni Kuma since it was on the way and looked interesting. We walked in around 7:45 pm on a Tuesday night and they were closing around 9:30. We were delighted to see that the restaurant was empty and we had missed the evening rush so it felt intimate and like a private dining experience. Service was incredible even when they had takeout orders coming in and another party joining us in the dining area. We started off with an orange sake but didn't enjoy it but that was my fault for ordering it anyhow. For food, we ordered the amberjack nigiri, crispy enoki, negima skewers, the pork jowl skewers, pork katsu curry, o-toro sashimi, and the sea bass kama. The food came out so incredibly quickly and had a nice presentation. The nigiri and sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The only issue we had wa that the o-toro was still slightly frozen so it was like chewing through a sashimi popsicle but wasn't that big of a deal to us. The yakitori skewers were so incredible, cooked to perfection, and moist. My boyfriend had to stop me from ordering more of the pork jowl. The crispy enoki was battered lightly and had great texture. Everything else we got was great. The only thing we probably wouldn't order was the sea bass kama. I had asked our waitress what she would recommend between the two and said that hamachi was her personal favorite since it was leaner than the seabass. After trying the seabass, we ended up agreeing with her suggestion and will have to try the hamachi next time I return. Definitely would recommend. It's got a great location right next to whole foods which was my after-dinner stroll. Great food, wonderful service, and superb value! read more

On a Friday evening, this place was super busy! We were sad to see the outside wooden booths are no longer available to use, but the inside area feels very cozy and intimate I got the chicken katsu curry, the chicken katsu was so well done I loved the breading and the chicken itself was super tender. The curry on the other hand was a lot sweeter than I remembered having the first time (tasted more like a Hawaiian style version of curry), so I was not as excited about that. The first time I had tried the curry, it had a few different vegetables and this time only had 2 pieces of carrot. While the curry would not be something that I would come back for, I would definitely come back for more delicious chicken katsu or try the other options! read more

I've always been pretty underwhelmed with the casual sushi options in mill valley. Recently stumbled on Oni Kuma opening near Whole Foods and gave it a try and was very pleasantly surprised. Super fresh and the hand rolls or individually packed to ensure the freshness. Rolls and tempura great too. I've only done pickup but the inside is super cute and cozy and everyone seems really friendly. Will definitely be back to dine in! Also loved the selection of Japanese snacks and drinks at the counter. read more

We enjoyed dining at Oni Kuma!! My friends and I were craving Asian food and the seafood in Marin County is so fresh, we opted for the natural choice of selecting a Japanese restaurant to have dinner at. I physically wasn't feeling too well, so I ordered a chicken udon. The broth is vegetarian and really delicious, I was sipping on it the entire time! It comes with kabocha, naruto, broccoli, and leafy greens. The chicken had a nice consistency considering it was boiled, but it had zero seasoning/taste to it. Very bland. My friends opted to order hand rolls (one set 1, one unagi don, and one hamachi hand roll) and they enjoyed it. Presentation at this location is really good and all our food looked incredibly appetizing. Overall decent experience, our food came out quickly and the setting is very cozy. Outdoor seating area is also really cute, but it was cold outside so we wanted to stay inside to keep warm. read more

Came here during lunch time and it wasn't busy. Service was pretty fast. Miso soup was delicious. The fish was fresh. The Wagyu nigiri pricing is wrong, we got charged $12 and not $10 like the menu said. The Wagyu nigiri wasn't that good. It was very thin and not a lot compared to its pricing and other places. The 10pc nigiri set was good! The assorted fish was amazing and the ratio of rice to fish was perfect. Our hand rolls were tasty, the seaweed was soggy and hard yo chew apart which cause everything to fall apart read more

Ordered take out a couple of nights ago while on vacation. I order a spicy tuna roll and the soft shell crab roll. I called in my order 30 minutes before closing. I didn't want to go in and sit down when they are so closing soon and make them work extra. The lady that picked up was very nice. The rolls were good. The spicy tuna better than the soft shell one but still OK. I would come back when I'm visiting and try out dine in. read more

First time here, and thought it was just OK. Certainly not worth the price point. I ordered the pork cutlet curry rice dish for $25. ($33 after tax and tip). I could have cooked the meal a lot better using a golden curry cube, for a lot less money. Ambiance and service were fine. read more

Oni Kuma - Izakaya Near Me - Mill Valley, California

After a day of wine tasting in Napa and a stop in Corte Madera to return some stuff at the mall, we decided to try Oni Kuma for hand rolls after finding this place on Yelp. I was able to call the day before to make a reservation for two at 6:00 p.m. Due to hitting some traffic and running behind, I called the restaurant to see if we could push our reservation to 7:00 p.m. They were really accommodating and told me not an issue but we may have to sit at the sushi bar if it's too busy. Upon arrival, we were surprised to see only one outdoor table and a couple of indoor tables were occupied. We both ordered set A (three hand rolls - spicy tuna, salmon and hamachi) and also a Maine lobster hand roll and uni and crab hand roll. We also got a dynamite roll to share. The roll was the best item we had. The hand rolls came out pretty fast but sadly missed the mark. Although they were beautifully presented, the seaweed was not toasted and was soggy. The ingredients were fresh but not high quality fresh. Overall it was an average experience. The restaurant itself was clean and nice. I really like the outdoor booths they had but it was too cold to eat outside. Parking was easy since there is plenty of parking in the shopping center this restaurant is located in. Dining here makes me crave a hand roll with crispy seaweed so will need to try again soon. read more

Pricy for very mediocre food (edited to reply to the owner's attempt to redirect the issue). Sashimi was freezer burned (see photo), Ramen was low on broth and not piping hot. When we asked them to please add some broth and heat it, we were told "this is how we make it" by a woman who was not Japanese. Well, it's not how most good Japanese restaurants make it, so which cultural food are we purporting to offer? Miso was way too salty too. We go to Japan often, maybe a little more picky than some, but this was pretty low end for Bay Area standards. Hispanic guy was the only one working at the counter. Nothing against other cultures, but not a traditional Japanese Chef running things here (at least on a daily basis). Again, ethnicity doesn't matter in food preparation, except when there is a complete disconnection between what the sign says outside and the food served. A few blocks away is a Japanese restaurant run by Koreans, which are completely culturally different than Japanese, but they have carefully created Japanese food and are as good as restaurants in Japan at serving a "cultural dish". We live in a hyper politically correct bubble in the Bay Area, but the fact is, respecting a culture and representing it's traditions means in this case not serving freezer burned fish, or offering Ramen lukewarm with half the broth required. If this is a Japanese owned business it's a first for us to experience this disconnect and the bad attitude. It is not politically incorrect to want someone with roots in Japan or at least to have some deeper understanding and respect for the culture and the food. I'm not even going deeper here, like the fact Japanese do not use soup spoons in their miso soup (which is a dumb adaption for Americans using Chinese soup spoons) or the tight round ball of rice in the bowl served here which in Japan is reserved for a butsudan (home shrine) as an offering to a dead relative. Politically correct or not, the best Thai, Mexican or Japanese restaurants are (usually) run by people that grew up in that culture and know the details, that's a fact, because culture is deep (and should be embraced). Hiring the cheapest labor possible and totally missing the art of the culture is the issue here, not racism. read more

I'm so excited to have Oni Kuma in mill valley. It's the same management as Shiro Kuma in San Rafael where I would drive to get our sushi fix and now I don't have to go as far. We are obsessed with the hamachi jalapeño appetizer and I have to order 3 because my husband will eat it all otherwise. The chicken gyoza are delicious. The nigiri, hamachi Kama, veggie tempura as well. Basically everything I've tried has been really good. Restaurant staff is super nice and I recognize some of the folks from the other location as well. The restaurant space here is larger than the other location with an outdoor area that I'm hoping to try out with the doggos once the weather gets nicer. Parking is also easier as the other location is street parking. read more

Friendly service and such a cool vibe. I loved both their outdoor and indoor seating. All the ambiance was great with the posters and the booth. The sauce dishes were so cute too. We got the chicken katsu curry, the combo c, and the dynamite roll. I thought the dynamite roll was such a refresher: it was hamachi, avocado, green tobiko and this chipotle mayo sauce. I think this was a great combination and the amount of sauce wasn't overwhelming the dish. The katsu curry was great and tasted like a lot of spices. Lots of curry leaf flavor with a bit of a spicier kick than normal. Perfect on a cloudy day or in the winter. The chicken itself had a crispy coating. Combo C had a variety of fish and flavor combinations. My favorite was the tuna, watercress, ikura, and yuzu peel. Overall, nice place that's tucked away. Attentive and friendly staff. read more

Popped by on a Wednesday for lunch around noon, had lots of seating available indoors and out. Outdoor seating had this nicely decorated patio, while indoor was a long sushi bar. Service was nice and iced water was served attentively. We ordered some oysters to start, which came dressed with ponzu. They were on the smaller side $8/2 Ordered 2 Japanese curries, 1 kurobuta pork and 1 prawn. Curry was more on the watery side, not thick and less dark than what we normally get at other Japanese curry places. Pork was fried nicely, and quality of the chop was nice as had some marble fat. The prawn however was not so good, prawn order came as 4pcs, each prawn was fried well, but even after being fried, prawns are very unforgiving if they aren't kept fresh as you can definitely tell on the mouth feel. For a fried prawn you always want a bouncy texture when you bite into it. This prawn however was mealy and falling apart, a sign that the prawn has seen some shit and is a bit old. Price wise for 2 came out to be around $70 for lunch, so not too affordable as a daily thing read more

Oni Kuma is a Chef-Run; real Japanese Izakaya type restaurant. I would drive to get to this place. That's right, I know a couple of things... so, allow me to share our experience. ***** Stars. It is a real hidden gem that has gained my trust. My girlfriends birthday was last week and she is very discerning about her health and her diet. When I say, "very discerning", what I mean is; if she doesn't like what she sees, you're going to another restaurant. I'm happy to report that I'm still collecting Brownie Points for having researched and for finding Oni Kuma. Everything was right. It is clean and intimate. The staff will take the time to patiently answer your questions. Skewers and hot Izakaya type offerings are prepared in the kitchen which, if you don't look hard, you won't even see. It is as if the food arrives out on nowhere. We ordered skewers of Unagi (eel) that were grilled and pressed into perfect rectangles; served cold. Then an omakase (chef's choice) offering of Nigiri Sushi. All of it was cut with the care of a master. I'm not kidding, each peace of fish was portioned out and sliced to exacting standards. The morsels melt in your mouth. The rice, itself, was delicious. Sushi is served at the right temperature so you get the experience, texture and flavor out of each delicious offering. We had to try the hand rolls so we decided on the Spicy Hotate (scallop) had roll. Another home run! It was just spicy enough to make it interesting but cool and refreshing all at the same time. You know me, "If its not WOW don't serve it." It was WOW! I'm sure you're already in your car driving down to the restaurant so do me a favor. I forgot to ask where they get there fish because I was too busy enjoying everything. I'll bet it is flown in from Tsukiji Market in Tokyo. Maybe you can ask and let us know. read more

The surf and turf roll was so disappointing. The sliced beef on top was very dry, hard like a shoe sole and flavorless. Out of 8 pieces of roll, only 4 had some fish inside, the other 4 only had asparagus $22 wasted. Wish I could be refunded read more

Came here for dinner during their soft opening. Had been looking forward to trying this place out ever since I spotted the construction. The location is convenient (right next to the Whole Foods) and there's plenty of parking outside in the lot. The restaurant has a traditional Japanese style. Service was efficient. I got the set of 4 hand rolls. All were delicious and met my expectations in terms of portion size and quality for the price. Overall, I highly recommend Oni Kuma if you're looking for a quality, mid priced alternative to Sushi Ran in Southern Marin. read more

Excited to be able to eat here during their soft opening. I was headed to Whole Foods for grocery shopping during lunch and decided to pop in here as I saw the soft opening sign and wanted to eat here instead of picking something at WF. Sat at the sushi bar counter. Menu looks great and kids would totally eat here. I ordered the handroll set #1 and agedashi tofu. Handrolls were yummy. I wanted to try all the different kinds. Will need to wait for next time. 3 rolls were plenty of food for me. I can't wait to come back and bring the family. I will also be back here for lunch! read more

I think this place has new ownership. I chose it because of the ambiance. I was meeting with a client for lunch and we wanted to sit in one of the outdoor booths. So I reserved a week in advance. Both of us traveling from different area of The Bay and meeting in the middle. The whole booth set up was not even there any longer. And its subtle, but it has much lower quality design than the set up in the photos, inside and out. I feel a bit like I got catfished from the photos. The quality of the food was pretty okay. The service was good. All in all though I was looking for a higher end experience with taste, quality, and most definitely ambiance... and it wasn't there for me. When we got there, we almost left and went somewhere else. They were friendly and sweet and did a great job, but personally if I'm going to sushi, I probably wouldn't go there again. I didn't feel great about the photos showing one thing and then it being quite different. Also, it's in strip mall and the outdoor area does not feel private. Next to a grocery store. read more

We literally walked in for a quick to go order. Handroll Set A. Had spicy tuna, salmon, and another salmon. My god. These were absolutely DELICIOUS.

This Japanese "homestyle" restaurant is one of the new bright spots in Mill Valley. I had both dinner and a second visit with a Bento box lunch. Simply put, this place is amazing. Service was excellent, the food was some of the best Japanese in Marin. Yes, the rolls and dishes rival Sushi Ran. Yep, I said it, and it's true. If you haven't seen the location, it's just to the left of Whole Foods of East Blithedale side. It does need a little lighting work to bring down the lights a bit during dinner, and it's in a shopping center..but the food and service is what matters. You won't regret giving this place a try. For me, it's my new go-to for sushi, sashimi, Rolls, and Japanese home cooking. This is one place, you want to make sure Stays in Mill Valley! read more

This place came highly recommended. Unfortunately, the food we tried came up very short. Ordered the radish salad w/une plum dressing off the special menu. Small, sparse, fairly tasteless and very expensive. We also ordered the poke bowl from the special menu which was even more disappointing. A huge portion of white rice with a tiny amount of very small pieces of tuna and salmon - and the salmon smelled as tho it had gone bad. This dish was also expensive. We also ordered an unagi skewer that took over a half hour to come out - we thought they had forgotten us except we were there early and were the only couple at the sushi bar so they kept walking past us, would think we would be hard to forget. This 'starter' was small and also expensive - best part of the meal but hardly worth the wait and the portion. We will not be returning. There are far too many restaurants around that have far better food, service and prices. Shame. read more

This place straight up stole money from us. Our bill was $64, which we paid. Later, we checked our bank statement and saw we were charged $80. When we called to ask why, they claimed it was a "20% holiday service fee." That fee was NEVER disclosed. Not when we sat down. Not when we ordered. Not when we paid. There was NO sign posted anywhere mentioning a holiday fee. We also ate here on December 27 -- AFTER the holidays, so the excuse doesn't even make sense. What makes this even more suspicious is that the employee did not give us a receipt. That alone is a huge red flag. Adding hidden fees without disclosure and refusing to provide a receipt is completely unethical. And the food wasn't even good. The miso soup was bland and flavorless, and the Lion King roll barely had any sauce -- skimpy, dry, and disappointing. Hidden charges, no transparency, poor food quality, and shady business practices. This is NOT okay. Check your bank statements if you eat here, because clearly they think it's acceptable to charge customers whatever they want without telling them. We will never be coming back. read more

They just opened and they are amazing! Service was good and food was even better!! Definitely stop by and give them a try. We had a little bit of everything.

We sat outside and the seats were comfy enough. I had two little ones ( 3 mos and 5 years). We were a party of 8! Great place to visit during our roadtrip up north. read more

I came here looking for a well-deserved treat after a very long hike on a sunny afternoon. Oni Kuma quickly grabbed my attention because I love sushi and handrolls. The location is on the left side of Whole Foods, and parking is super easy, convenient, and easy to access. They have outdoor seating which was honestly very beautiful. The booths were bamboo/wooden with the walls filled with cute Japanese drawings. It was a sunny day and I had my dog with me, so it was a perfect scenario. I got Set B for the handrolls, which came with spicy tuna, hamachi, salmon, and scallops. The handrolls were good, the fish tasted fresh and I loved the toppings combination for the scallop and hamachi. Wasn't a huge fan of the tuna. I also got a shitake skewer which was super tender and flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. The service was great, the owner was sweet and attentive (even gave some ice water for my dog!) read more
