Had the Tonkatsu Ramen. The Pork was good - nicely grilled and good flavor. It also had some slices of Kamaboku, and half a boiled egg for protein. The vegetables were lots of bamboo shoots, and a few strips of dried seaweed. Soup broth was tasty. It could use some fresh green vegetables, but at least they served a small green salad to start. However, the salad dressing was way too salty, as it's soy based. read more

I really don't like leaving bad reviews, however this is warranted. I ordered a roll with real crab (as I am allergic to fake and made that well known) with lemon on top. Simple enough, right? Apparently not. The lady didn't understand me for whatever reason and was a little bit rude on the phone about it. I also ordered a hamachi roll and a few pieces of nigiri. In summary I close with small portion & overpriced. Would not return read more

Never again! Ordered online for pick up. Waited 1.5 hours for miso soup and one roll! Not only they were rude and unfriendly, the miso soup was watered down so bad! The roll was not impressive at all. I have never seen a place decline so deep! Take your money somewhere else. read more

The worst customer service ever !!!! I ordered a tonkatsu ramen soup and they mix all the ingredients together in the broth WHICH THEY SHOULDNT LET ME THE ONE EATING DECIDE . I wasn't expecting it to be all mixed together and I explained to her if they can remake it she refused FINE OK but learn how to communicate and be respectful! she cowardly hung up on me ! TRASHY CUSTOMER SERVICE GROSS read more

Solid B- Went in person to order food to go. New (to me) person took my order without writing anything down. To her credit, she got everything right. But, I am old fashioned and don't like gum smacking in my face when I'm being served. My order was ready quickly, and was okay. The experience seemed as if the place was being run by a different team. The food was okay. Lots of shredded radish to bolster the appearance of the sashimi and rolls. But all was fine. Seaweed salad and miso soup were like what you would get in a supermarket. It's okay but only in a pinch. read more

I normally try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but as others have mentioned in their reviews, the ramen here is truly terrible. It honestly tastes like it came straight from a package, not something freshly prepared. The egg was clearly microwaved, and the chashu had a strange, almost artificial texture - more like processed meat than anything freshly cooked. On top of that, they don't even offer hot sauce, which seems like a basic option for a ramen shop. The service experience was unpleasant as well - the lady running the place only barked orders and spoke in exclamations, which made the whole visit feel rushed and unfriendly. read more

I'm from the eastbay and I work out of Marin county, this is one of my favorite sushi spots in Marin. I've worked in Marin for over 5 years and there are not too many good restaurants that I want to spotlight. Oyama is tucked in the Bon Aire plaza in Greenbrae. A decent size place that has one of the best sashimi combos I've ever had, sashimi cut are so big, one piece is like two pieces. They are a very popular Japanese spot so they get busy, there was one time there was a wait to dine in and doing takeout(which I usually do take the food home). The staff are very friendly, I go there so much they know how many chopsticks and soy sauce I need. They have an outdoor patio if you like eating outside or seat inside at a table or at the sushi bar. Their quality of their food is top notch. That is why if I want sushi/sashimi, Oyama is where I go in Marin. I will add some pics when I order from Oyama again. read more

Will not return!! We have been ordering from this restaurant almost weekly for 2 years. They completely messed up our order tonight (we did not receive half of our order). Ok mistakes happen. But, they then tried to blame it on us, then they blamed it on Uber, then they kept me on hold for 15 mins while I listened to them try to figure out their ordering system - completely forgetting (and not caring) that their loyal customer was on hold waiting to hear how this issue would be resolved. Turns out they did not resolve it at all. They also did not act like they cared at all about the mishap. Seeing all of the recent terrible reviews makes me wonder if it's under new ownership or something. Such a bummer - and we will not return! read more

Hands down one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food was forgettable, but what really pushed this place into NEVER again territory was the owner unbelievably rude behavior. I've never felt so disrespected at a restaurant - it was like we were bothering them just by showing up. No greeting, no thank you, just pure attitude from the second we walked in. She decided while we were still having diner to bleach out her entire restaurant and denied us access to toilet. Unreal. Save yourself the frustration. Absolutely unacceptable. I won't be back, and I ll be warning others. read more

Worst owner ever.. The worst experience I never have.. Still processing how bad our experience was and had to finally write my first review.. Do not go there ... Feel sorry for the staff.. read more

Everything from staff to the freshest fish!! Even a TV will the men's NCAA basketball final. Looking forward to coming again!!

This is a really nice place to stop and have yourself a bit of lunch and have it healthy at the same time in the Bel-Aire shopping center in Greenbrae, California. I use this as an excellent opportunity to catch up with an old friend who is a manager at 1 of the local stores. Hes a world traveler and I just wanted to find out what is next adventure would be and share some good food with him so he recommended this place. As we chatted the food arrived and it came out looking pretty much like you would expect for a sushi restaurant but I am always looking at a little deeper too check for freshness and character in the food.I could tell the rice was well made because it had just the right stickiness and the right shine to it. Sometimes sushi rice isn't always what you expect it to be. If you've been to Japan you will know that it takes a long time for someone to learn how to do just the rice before they're even allowed to cut fish. I was happy to show off in front of my friend and use the Japanese I'd learned over the years. I actually wasn't surprised that nobody there could answer anything that I would say because nobody there spoke Japanese. But that's not a bad thing if the quality of the food is as good as it is here satisfied with the freshness of the fish the freshness of the rice and the service. Everyone was very nice. If I lived in the area I would probably come back here and have some sushi here again knowing that I would not be disappointed and that it was very good quality.If I lived in the area I would probably come back here and have some sushi here again knowing that I would not be disappointed and that it was very good quality. read more

I work close to Oyama and have been to Bon Air Center quite a few times ! Finally came to Oyama and boy oh boy this is now one of my fave sushi spots in Marin! Perfect seating outdoors with lots of fresh air and sunshine . We ordered the Hot Mamacita Roll and the Chirashi lunch special ! All Covid protocols are being followed and everyone wears masks gloves and distancing! They also have you write out your order to prevent having to speak to waitress! Food took a bit long to be ready ! They have lots of orders from Door dash and Uber Eats! Finally got our meals and my sashimi was so fresh and melted in my mouth! Big chunks and totally delicious . Over 12 pieces of an assortment of Ahi Tuna, Salmon, and Yellowtail. Really enjoyed the food and eating outdoors highly recommend Oyama Note the indoor menu is way more extensive than they'd online menu.. come check them out! Ok read more

Love this place. They have consistently good quality fish and fast service. It's also usually not too busy which is nice, you don't usually have to wait for a table for lunch or dinner. The place itself is clean and well kept but also cozy which is nice! We ordered salmon sashimi, which was so fresh and thickly cut. 3 pieces were plenty for 1 person. We also got a roll which was delicious. read more

Something happened. This place used to be great, now it's not much better than Mollie Stone sushi with extremely tiny portions, no quality of food, but of course huge prices. GROSS ... Used to eat here all the time since 2017, it's barely edible anymore SO SAD! Will never be back. Not to mention they play the same 5 songs over and over. Ffs it's 2025 look into Pandora at least read more

The worst service I've ever had in the USA but also worldwide. The owner was extremely rude, I've never been treated as bad. Food was acceptable but mediocre. read more

Food is tasty. Portions are shareable. Always ready on time or served quickly when eating in. My favorite roll is their Oyama roll and my kiddo loves their ramen. The little patio is dog friendly which our pups loves. read more

Excellent! I got take out. Fresh, friendly service. Atmosphere looked fun. Have to try eating in next time

Large selection of sushi and bento boxes. My wife has been eating lunches here during the work week. Pleasant service and not crowded for a quick weekend lunch, we'll be back. read more

Great service great food and a great time. The restaurant is also has a great design and fun ambiance

I've been coming here for years about once every 2 weeks. Most of the time I have had decent service, but the sushi is made well which is why we put up with the crappy service. Today I ordered a baked scallop roll. There was so much sauce, it was burnt, and all falling apart.l. I went back and showed the lady. How much sauce there was, how the taste was compromised, and it was aw burnt thinking they would make me a new one and take this one back. Instead she said that's how I ordered it. She did not attempt to Help and provide me an alternative solution instead she stuck her chopsticks and picked it up... In the below picture I picked out the scallop and avocado. This is what she said was a roll. I typically do not post bad reviews but I am highly disappointed. read more

Fresh, pretty and tasty! We ordered delicious sushi for our office colleagues. I can't wait to go enjoy the restaurant.

I've only had take out here - but both times it has been fresh and excellent...and ready earlier than estimated. I love their salmon rolls

We've been ordering takeout and delivery from Oyama for a while and finally made it in to the restaurant! Amazing fresh fish and very attentive and friendly service. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered the ika shioyaki (grilled squid), hamachi carpaccio, saba nigiri (mackerel), shiro maguro (albacore tuna), unagi nigiri (eel), and under the sea roll (spicy tuna roll topped with salmon, hamachi, tobiko, and green onion). I enjoyed everything, but my favorites were the fresh nigiri. Our waitress was helpful and service was great. I will be back! read more

I ordered the fried oysters, and was unpleasantly surprised by what came. Four oysters (for 10.95), completely burned, hard as a rock, and inedible. I could not believe they would serve something like that! I suppose more liberties are taken with delivery. One extra star because the spicy scallop was decent enough. read more

Delicious, fresh and tasty sushi. Highly recommend the crunchy tempura roll. Nice ambiance outside by fountain if you prefer taking it to go. Friendly staff. The only reason I took off a star was that it's a bit pricey. But hey, it's Marin with high rents and food costs. read more

I usually only write good reviews, but the way I was treated was unbelievable. I ordered Miso Sea Bass. The only thing that tasted fine was the miso soup. The 2 oz portion of fish was 1/3 the size of the photo on the menu and fatty. 5 balls of broccoli were cold next to a gigantic scoop of white rice. I told my waitress that the salad (lettuce only) tasted like it still had dirt on it, so I couldn't eat it and the sea bass was fatty and tasted as if it had been pre-cooked. She said that they don't wash the lettuce because it's organic. The waitress said she would tell the chef. She went inside and came back with the chef's message: "Too bad." The other waitress asked what was wrong and when I told her, she said that if she had been my waitress, she would have told me not to order the sea bass. She went inside to talk to the chef and came back with the same nasty message and told me I would have to talk to the chef myself. I explained that I don't go inside because of covid precautions. She said wait here and the chef will come out to talk to you. Fifteen minutes later, no chef. I left without signing the credit card statement, not having realized I should never have given them the card. Most restaurants try to give you something else, if you don't like what you ordered, or comp at least part of the meal. NADA. All my fault. I will never go back. And I hope you hesitate before you are treated as I was. The photo is what was in the menu. What I got was a tiny portion of what was shown. read more

Would recommend getting any dish with sashimi because the fish here is pretty good! I liked the tuna dumpling which is tuna wrapped around crab meat. It was a flavor bomb. The sashimi cuts were the perfect size for a one bite also. The tempura mix was made well, because the batter stuck well to the vegetables and they still stayed fresh and crispy throughout the dinner. The squid was charred so nicely and had a good smoky taste that complimented the refreshing lemon mayo dip they had on the side. Definitely come here for fresh fish and order hot sake if you never tried it..it's warm and easy to drink and compliments the food nicely. Thank you Cindy for the amazing customer service :) read more

This is a reliable Japanese restaurant with good food and service. Oyama is located in the Bon Air shopping center in Greenbrae, so you'll be competing for parking with lots of other people at any given time. If you can't find it, it's between an Art Gallery and Peets coffee. One big advantage of eating here is that you can order ahead via Yelp/GrubHub. They are pretty quick to get your order ready, too. You just give them your name at the register, and they grab it for you. Also, there is a pretty great selection of Japanese food. Don't let the name fool you. Sushi is only one type of food on the menu. There are also bento boxes (which are great for lunch, especially if you are really hungry), udon and ramen, katsu and tonkatsu, and lots of appetizers. Is it the best sushi/Japanese food you'll ever have? No, but it's a pretty great place overall. read more

Consistently excellent! I just love Oyama! Everything I've tried has been delicious. Lately I've been more adventurous, ordering some of the more complicated sushi. They have a big selection. Golden Bear Roll, and 49er Roll are two of my favorites. I also love their Spider Roll. Tonight we had the incredibly delicious Oyama special roll. OMG! It is so fantastic and tasty! You must try Oyama. Highly recommended read more

Oyama Sushi - The incredible Oyama special roll. Delicious! - Japanese Near Me - Greenbrae, California

I wish I could have two different rating options on Yelp. One for the food quality and one for its cost. If I could review them separately then this would be the result: Food quality: 4.5 stars Fresh fish. Made with the best ingredients. Wide selection of sushi. Food price: 2 stars I do not mind paying for good food, but it was nearly $40 for 14 pieces...not sure why that much. Final thoughts: Really good food, you won't be disappointed. That being said, couldn't justify the tab. read more

If you like undercooked, cold gyoza, go here. If you want to eat raw fish that has been sitting on a counter for 20+ minutes, go here. This was my experience with a pickup order tonight, so I called to ask how long my food had been sitting on the counter. The manager was defiant and insisted that my food had not been sitting despite the gyoza being cold. I'll just call it a wash since I should know better than to take out sushi, but between the quality of the food, the potential risk of food poisoning, and the rudeness of the service, I will not return. read more

Apparently this place is takeout only because I called the other day to go sit down and they don't do that! BUT I ordered delivery through an app, and this is the best sushi in Marin aside from Sushi Ran! Their fish is very fresh. Avocado in the rolls is green, no brown (I loathe brown avo). But These rolls are TASTY. Like they are very quality, the flavors tie together perfectly and they are SAUCY. The sauces they put on these rolls are absolutely INCREDIBLE! The presentation is also nice and appetizing. So far I've ordered: four seasons roll, A's roll, Dragon Roll, Fire Star roll. I know I've ordered other rolls too, but they're in my fiancé's order history at the moment. Highly recommend this place! read more

Invest in businesses that value their customers!!! I'm only giving Oyama 2 stars because the sushi is good. Otherwise they would get 1 star. I was one of their first customers when they opened and up until yesterday I was a regular. But I'm not going to overlook their poor service and rude hospitality anymore. They act like we need them but the truth is they need their customers. I will not give them my business anymore. There's plenty of other restaurants that appreciate their customers and are super friendly. They are NOT one of them. read more
