Real Crab California Roll
Patrick T.

Sushi / food was pretty reasonable. Went here around 5:30 dinner and it was pretty quiet. The restaurant is long and narrow haha. Service was fine it was just one waitress and one guy at the sushi bar. Had some sake too. Overall, Not bad for the area?

Hamachi
Jessica C.

​Experienced total sashimi perfection with two distinct cuts of Yellowtail/Hamachi tonight. The loin cut was so clean, firm, and beautifully sweet--the ultimate pristine bite. But that belly cut? Absolute velvet. It was so marbled and buttery it literally melted on impact. ​Two completely different textures, both utterly amazing. If you come here, you have to order both! #SashimiHeaven

Salmon belly, shima aji
Margaret K.

I was looking for a sushi restaurant nearby and found this place from its great reviews on yelp - so glad I did! It's a small restaurant in a strip mall run by a family who was so friendly! The sushi chef himself was very passionate about the fish - we did the 10 piece nigiri omakase that was 60$ so reasonable especially since he makes each fish unique and with sauce/toppings. We got repeats of the salmon belly (their specialty) and shima aji. Come here for high quality fish despite limited menu - it was delicious! They also gave us homemade red bean dessert which they try to do when they have enough availability for people doing the full specialty omakase. It was such a great find and I'd come anytime I'm in the area!

We visited Origin Sushi for a late-night sushi stop. It was one of the few open a bit later into the evening on a weekday. Service? 10/10!! Our server was the sweetest. Super proactive and checked in on us regularly. It was empty when we came in, but the restaurant filled up rather quickly. There's only a few tables and it's a bit of a tight space, so keep this in mind especially if you have a larger group. Between 3, we shared about 4 rolls. Everything was delicious! I forget the name, but my favorite was the one with mango, unagi, and salmon. The ingredients tasted fresh, but the food just took a bit to come out. It was a really good experience overall, I'd definitely come back when the craving for sushi returns! :)

Premium Chirashi
Granger L.

Holy fish this place has the best Chirashi bowl I've seen in the tri-valley! I didn't have high expectations since there are so many underwhelming ones around but the moment I saw it... I knew it was going to be some good stuff. My goodness it was amazing.

I love the sushi selection here. The owners Ray & Kay are super nice. They offered us a fried chicken wings dish and an order of sushi to try. Ray, the chef, explained the fish on each sushi to us thoroughly. It was quite an educational experience. The fish is pretty fresh and sweet. Most of the fish are flavorful. Kay was very helpful and attentive. My party enjoyed the dinner here. It was a nice dining experience. I will definitely come back for some quality sushi next time.

Everything about this sushi place was so cozy -- from their interior and menu. My friend and I wanted to meet up for dinner, which this was a perfect spot for a cute date night! Located next to Nikuya, Origin Sushi sits next to the right corner of the restaurant in the plaza. We were seated immediately and barely had to wait for anything. People even started to trickle in 20 minutes in and we never felt like service changed! Some things we noticed about this place was the overall cleanliness, cuteness of the cutlery, and freshness of the fish. The menu was also more on the smaller side, but had a special roll for everyone. A huge plus was how affordable it was like a special roll was $13-$16. There was even a tasting menu on your choice of fish like salmon and tuna for $22 that I would love to try... What we ordered: - Juliet Roll: named after our dearest friend LOL, very light and fresh - Flaming Roll: fresh and everything was cohesive from the avocado to the tuna!!! my fav - Pork Dumplings: great size for 2 people, juicy and crunchy om nom nom The people here were so nice and even offered free matcha cream with nuts on top! Lovely service and everything was quite delicious. A hidden gem for real.

baked hamachi plate
Cynthia W.

Came here around 4:30pm, so it was empty. Went with my bestie right after the Pleasanton festival on Sunday. It was nice and clean inside. Food came out fairly quick since we were the only ones. Staff was friendly and attentive. We got the Sahsmi plate 10 piece, juliet roll, and baked hamachi roll. Sashimi plate was great. The fish was decent size and so fresh tasting. However, I wish the waitress told us what each fish is when they delivered it. Juliet roll was great. Loved salmon. Miso sauce was delicious. Baked hamachi roll was only okay. I liked the baked fish a lot, but i think they put too much cream cheese in the middle of it. It over powered the roll to me. My friend agreed as well. To the point where she was taking the a decent amount of cream cheese out before eating it.

Hamachi Carpaccio
Frances L.

I was happy to try this newly opened sushi restaurant. It's owned by the nicest family and the service was warm and attentive. It's a small, nicely decorated restaurant. The menu is simple and we tried a variety of dishes. My favorites were- Hamachi carpaccio-thick sliced hamachi topped with a slice of avocado Juliet Roll-salmon avocado and scallop topped with a sweet miso glaze. So good! Baja Chirashi-beautifully presented and the fish was very fresh Pork Noodles-delicious braised pork noodles. A must try! I'd definitely return!

With so many options in the area I decided to try this spot out that didn't have too many reviews but it had a good amount of positive reviews. I came in around 6pm and when I walked in there was 1 other table there and not busy. I would say it's a small spot that seats less than 50 people but it was nice and clean. I decided to get two rolls and a 6 piece nigiri that comes with a hand roll. Gorilla Roll - 9/10. I'm always a sucker for seared rolls. The salmon being seared gives it extra sweetness and the siracha mayo actually had a nice kick it to it and wasn't just sweet. The fried shallots on top added nice texture being crunchy with extra flavor. This was my favorite roll. Rosewood Roll - 8/10. You can taste that the fish is fresh. If you like salmon and tuna I would get this roll. What I liked about it as well was the spicy crab on top which carried a small amount of spice but adds to the flavor. Moriwase - 9/10. It comes with 6 nigiri and a hand roll. Again the fish is fresh and has good flavor. The portion was normal, definitely not small. The nigiri comes with a brush of soy sauce so no need to dip, but feel free to. I just wish it had some more wasabi cause I didn't taste any. It came with a spicy tuna hand roll which I liked a lot because it had a good kick. Service was great even though I was the only one in there after the table before me left but the lady was very nice and attentive. She even offered some home made dessert that was packaged in a cute box after having some small convo. I talked to the sushi chef and he's been making sushi for over 15 years and I could tell that he puts some passion in his craft. He told me everyone says the fish is fresh but he really tries to make the flavor known which I think he executed well. They also get their fish flown/delivered on Tuesdays/Thursday. If you're in the area I would recommend trying this spot. It's definitely a safe option and I'll be coming back to try the other items.

Tuna Tuna and Warriors Roll
Jonathan C.

Came here on a Friday night. We were going to go to Nikuya, but saw that this sushi place was open. Quick look on Yelp and saw the high ratings. Decided to try it. Walked in and noticed the restaurant was completely empty. Decided to try it anyways. Restaurant feels new and clean. Chicken Karage 4/5: the chicken had some sugar sprinkled on it so you got a hint of sweetness before the crunch. Good and juicy. Hamachi Carpacio 3/5: this had a bit of a fishy taste to it. It was also topped with avocado which was different. Would not order this again. Salmon Nigiri 3.5/5: good, nothing special. Salmon Belly Nigiri 5/5: this was seared on the outside with light topping. This was the best of the sushi we ordered. Warrior Roll 3/5: this was just a California roll with unagi, mango and salmon on top. Was ok but nothing special. Tuna Tuna Roll 4/5: this was good. It was topped with a very sweet mango. My wife enjoyed this one. Overall, food was good. It was a bit odd that the restaurant was completely empty for a Friday night given the high ratings. I rate this a 3.5 stars. I will give it an official 4 star as the service was good.

Menu

We came here on a weekday for lunch. To my surprised, there is no lunch set menu. No wonder business seems a bit slow on a weekday lunch hour. We weren't that hungry so my friends each ordered a roll and I had the chirashi. We ordered bara chirashi, poki roll and tuna tuna roll. The fish was very fresh and everything was tasty. A note about this restaurant is they only serve sushi with a few hot food appetizers like chicken karaage and chicken wings. They don't have the everyday items like most japanese restaurants such as bentos(or food like teriyaki chicken/beef, etc) so beware of the limitations. However, if you are in for omakase, they have a tasting menu on Fri/Sat. Need to call ahead to check on availability though. Overall, this would be a good place for some tasty sushi. The restaurant is located close by Trader Joe's. Glad to have another option in the tri valley area.

Checked out this new sushi place in town that just opened about a month ago and had a good experience! It's a decent sized restaurant right next to Niku-ya in a plaza with plenty of parking. The store had very simple decor and pretty causal vibe. The lighting felt a bit sterile but overall it was a nice place to dine at. The menu was very straightforward and my party ended up ordering maguro brothers, moriawase (1 handroll with 6 nigiri), and a gorilla roll, and all of them were very good. The fish quality was great, and the presentation of the food was good as well. I felt like the prices were pretty reasonable and felt like the quality was good for the price. The staff were also really friendly and tried to make conversation with us and asking us how the food was. Overall, I enjoyed the food and dining experience and would come back to try more items on the menu and the sushi rolls.

The owner is very nice and professional. He pours his passion into sushi making which really differentiates his food from others.

Does Origin offer katsu chicken on the menu?

I don't think so. Their menu is limited to sushi and sashimi and rolls. I don't recall chicken or beef on the menu.

The food was packaged well and their prices were comparable to other Japanese places in the area. The gyoza were cooked well and was accompanied by a traditional soy-based dipping sauce. However, the quality of the sushi and rolls were just not up to par, especially for a mid-week meal when high-quality fish can be readily sourced. Main cons: - The sushi rice was somewhat mushy and underseasoned for our palate - The white fish nigiri was not edible - The albacore tuna and maguro nigiri looked off and smelled fishy, so we did not finish either of them - The hamachi nigiri and the hamachi roll was only ok and did not have the expected buttery texture - The tamago nigiri did not have the right ratio of sweet and savory for our palate, or the right texture - The lion king roll included cooked salmon that was overcooked, although the underlying California roll part was fine We really wanted to like this place as they are close to work and delivery quickly, but their quality didn't meet expectations.

It's a large place with three workers, but no other customers were there. He had tried it before and loved it, so I had to oblige.

I did enjoy the sushi that came with it, so that was a nice bonus. My brother ordered two sushi rolls. They took longer than my plate since they were baked rolls, but once they came out, they were delicious. He let me try both, and I loved how they were topped.
