I was soooo excited to try this place after seeing all the rave reviews on Yelp. I was picking up my dog from the groomer and decided to try them out since I'm in the area. When I walked in - I wasn't sure if I walked in the right place as there are two separate entrances? I asked the guy if this was the right place he said yes. I asked if there's menu so he pointed me out to the menu. I grabbed a table and he asked me if I was ordering for dine in, I said yes. No one else was there besides me. I looked through the menu and decided to get the 10 pcs nigiri for $29. I decided to treat myself. Took him a while to make the food, which was fine I was scrolling through my phone When I got my food it looked kinda sad - the rice is v dry and the fish looks ok. When I had my first bite the rice ultimately fell apart, the same w the rest of the nigiri's. The fish didn't taste fresh at all - le sigh. I would probably go back to try either the ramen or the dim sum. But im good w the fish. read more

I came in as soon as they opened, so I have to give them a pass since I waited 15 mins to get someone First time [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior design is so pretty with high ceilings and amazing posters[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait is worth it because the food is amazing Loved all the food we got Will come again read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came here specifically for L&H pho which was delicious and flavorful but found out that they have a variety of options. I also tried the Japanese katsu sandwiches and it was also very tasty. Can't wait to come back and try the sushi read more

Went here with a group of friends for the first time and really liked the concept - it's cool being able to try different Asian dishes all in one spot! It was a bit of a wait for sushi since several other tables also ordered it, but totally understandable given there was only 1 person preparing the sushi. Only downside was that they didn't have any dessert available when we went! read more

SAGA Kitchen - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

I stopped coming to SAGA Kitchen because they served frozen dim sum. Yes, I get you don't have a dim sum cook and prices are higher now. But customers want value for their money, and there's plenty of choices out there. The last time I ordered the potstickers, I got shriveled up dumplings that looked like small gyoza. So don't believe the old pictures Yelpers posted, those days are gone. Time to move on. read more

Loved this place! Not sure why it's only 3.8. There's so many pros: - eat combination of Japanese and Chinese food, huge menu - [[HIGHLIGHT]]dog friendly, even indoor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - free dog treats - free saga arcade game - free choice of music - [[HIGHLIGHT]]cute decor/ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - good service (gave us extra seaweed for free) - easy online ordering We got the treasure box, negi toro roll, XLB, miso soup and salted egg yolk bun.

When I went, there was only one guy running the whole thing, but he was super friendly and our food came out in under ten minutes! [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the whole place was just so nice.

The food is great. The order took two hours longer than posted to deliver, and we were missing an item. I haven't received a refund.

Was craving dim-sum and wanted to try a new place out. This is to go order. I ordered the following items that I have had and enjoyed at other establishments. - Siu Mai - I was very surprised that for $10 you got the small amount you did. It was very strong on the shrimp/fishy flavor. - Chili Oil Dumpling - good size with a good amount of filling. Issue for me was that you could only taste the chili oil and nothing else - Egg Drop Soup - I appreciate that for the price $10 you got a very good amount of soup that has good flavor - House made XLB (with wine sauce) - good flavor and most likely the only item I would order again Overall I would not most likely not return. Based on the reviews there are plenty of people that enjoy the food and establishment, however with how expensive dim sum can be I want to enjoy my food and feel that it was worth the cost. From my one time experience here overall the food did not have flavor. read more

SAGA Kitchen - Siu Mai - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

It didn't feel like a restaurant that I was expecting, it was more like a food snack shop which is fine. The food I ordered tasted fine nothing that would make me say I'm excited to order again. We ordered lion king and it was warm, not hot. It tastes more on the sweet side. It's packed very tight so we had a little trouble getting it out to share and dropped a piece, that's on us but just a heads up it's secured in place. What we really didn't like was as how all the rolls were primarily just rice. We understand the outter park is rice and no biggie there, it's the inner part we were most disappointed about. It's more rice and it takes up about 1/2 of the whole inner part. We thought it was just a few pieces but every single piece was mostly just rice. My pic shows how much rice you're paying for in an average roll. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is fine and in a local area so it's walkable, street parking in front is not easy but when you turn the corner there's parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Personally, we don't plan on returning soon but recommend it to visitors or teenagers just looking for a safe tasting snack. read more

SAGA Kitchen - Half of the inside the seaweed is just more rice. This is lion king roll, tastes ok - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

I enjoy it. My brother likes this place for his Tonkotsu ramen. I've had some of their sushi rolls and other smaller dishes. Tonkotsu ramen Miso soup Golden dragon sushi roll. Tonkotsu ramen has great presentation. The Naruto is there. Miso was nice and comforting. The flavour is alive with flavour. The golden dragon was savoury. Enjoyed the Japanese bbq and the mixture of avocado and protein. Vibe is nice. Very hip and contemporary. The robot is fun. Would be nice to have a television from the lounge area or a mirror. It's a bit pricey, but from time to time it's nice to come here. Service is on and off but at this place it's fine. Everything went smooth. Water and one time cups are provided. read more

Never ever coming here again as an Alameda resident. My husband and I were the only 2 people in the entire restaurant, it took HELLLAAA long to get our order. Not once asked if we needed anything. Once we got our food the waiter basically slammed it on the table and left. Never asked if we needed Jack shit. Is customer service out the door now???? All they did the entire time we were there was talk. Oh but they said bye on the way out tho. SMH. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute location but service was very poor and food was either great or the worst.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] QR code ordering didn't work for us because we wanted to order 4 tonkatsu ramen without the combo gyoza which the site wouldn't let us do. We went to order in person from the first room there were two workers at the front but the lady didn't speak English ( is fine for us we speak Cantonese) and didn't know how to take orders or work the online site. Waiting maybe 5-10 minutes for the guy worker to get off the phone while we stood waiting in front of the register without much acknowledgement. When we went to order we wanted the sando spicy chicken slider combo and the Nikutama udon but he told both were no longer served and the paper menu is not accurate and the true menu is on the site. Tonkatsu ramen Chewy noodles tasty egg and a creamy not too salty broth. 8.5/10 Kistune udon 1/10 Worst udon I've ever tasted. Have no idea what happened. The broth was watery and maybe had a pinch of miso. The noodles were soaked for too long and were breaking apart and mushy(look at my picture). I think the noodles have been soaking in this watery miso started tinting lightly brown and fermenting the taste. The noodles taste very strange and weird. Added with the broth was extremely shocking. 1/10 Tonkatsu sando Great sandwich crispy crustless bread moist crispy fried chicken and a nice mayo sauce. 8.9/10 read more

Love the concept of this restaurant! SAGA Kitchen houses a handful of different Asian restaurants in their "food hall". (I quote food hall here because you'll order from all the different restaurants once vs going to different registers). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself takes over two spaces next door to each other. The first has many tables, the bathroom, the kitchen, and the register. The second is just community dining tables and a condiment counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, that second room is also dog-friendly. I feel like I hardly ever see indoor dog-friendly restaurant spaces so this was a treat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both are connected by the outdoor patio up front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't busy so we were able to find a table with our dog in the second room pretty easily.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered from a QR code on the table and got to see the menus of all the restaurants. Food came out quickly after and we could pay for everything online too, so it was a pretty seamless process. We ordered from Yue Club and had their Hong Kong Har Gow ($10) and House Made XLB ($12). Each order came with 6 pieces. Both nailed the flavors - everything was so tasty. Probably one of the better dim sums I've had in the area. The dumplings themselves were smaller than I've usually had though. I don't think I'd normally want to pay this kind of price for the portion-size but I could taste the quality for sure! The staff was super accommodating and even gave us water for our dog. They also have dog treats in the 2nd room so it's truly a dog-friendly location! Parking is available on the street and in the nearby neighborhoods. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Alameda! read more

SAGA Kitchen - Hong Kong Har Gow + House Made XLB - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

4.5 stars SAGA Kitchen is an innovative restaurant combining four different restaurant concepts under one roof and one menu. You order on your phone via QR code, and items are delivered by a robot waiter! One Instagrammable choice was the Treasure Box, a handroll kit that came with nori sheets, wasabi, pickled ginger, and four ramekins of sushi rice topped with assorted raw fish including salmon, yellowtail, tuna, scallops, and uni. The quality of the fish wasn't particularly good, but the presentation was colorful and beautiful! My favorite dish was the Curry Rice, made of a thick Japanese curry sauce with onions, carrots, and pickles along with rice and tonkatsu, a perfectly crispy, panko-breaded fillet of pork. The curry had a sweet, savory, and distinctly fruity flavor, and the tonkatsu was meaty on the inside and nicely crispy on the outside, even when dunked into the curry sauce. On the side came a bowl of miso soup, which made for a complete meal! Overall, this was a great place to try out for its unique concept, and the service was friendly too! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is dirty. Stains on the wall. Stains on the furniture. The floor is sticky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The soy sauce container has sauce but was clogged.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The robot waiter was cool, but also dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was non existent. The dim sum tasted as if it were reheated. Also, extremely expensive. Shockingly bad experience. The owner had an idea, clearly, but seemingly opened and then let it fall into disrepair. I'm not sure it can be saved at this point because so much is wrong with every aspect of this restaurant. Which is too bad because I'd like for places like this to succeed but the owner seems oblivious to the basic necessities of what it takes to run a business. read more

Like the other reviews have stated, this place is more of an Asian food hall than your typical restaurant. You order and pay for your food using the QR code and the robot brings the food to you. Utensils and sauces are self serve. Found this place on tik tok and was drawn in by the variety of food options and aesthetics of the place, but I was pretty disappointed by the food. What we ordered: Crab Cream Croquette (3/5) - All I tasted was the cream filling and I couldn't taste the any crab in here at all. It wasn't bad, but I would prefer less cream and more crab. Chicken Karaage App (3/5) - You can't really go wrong with this dish but I wish it was a bit crunchier on the outside. Other than that, this is just your typical karaage. Shanghai Pan Fried Bun (1/5) - I was the most disappointed by this dish because it's one of my favorite dishes but also the worst pan fried bun I've ever had. I don't know if they even fried it because the whole bun was soft and there wasn't any soup inside. This was basically just your regular bun with some meat inside. Kurobuta Katsu Sando (5/5) - This was my favorite dish out of everything we ordered. The katsu was tender and the bread was nice and soft with slightly toasted edges. Also felt that the slaw and sauce paired very well together. If you're gonna order one item from here, order this! Treasure Box (3/5) - I liked how big the sashimi pieces were but the fish didn't taste that fresh to me. Not bad, but could be better. Special Kaisen Don (3/5) - Same as the treasure box, the fish was not bad, but I wish it was more fresh. Overall, this place is aesthetic and offers a variety of different food options on their menu which is nice, but I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're looking for good, quality food. Also if you're looking for good service, that's basically nonexistent here lol read more

Multiple cravings for different type of asian food? No problem, go to SAGA! I was meeting a friend here and it is rare for me to be in this area so why not pick a random spot to meet up and have lunch?! There is not private lot and only street parking. Nothing really too hard as residential parking is easy to find and a 1-2min walk from the restaurant. We arrive the time the place opens so there was hardly customers but there was still quite a few people going in and out. Outdoor seating also available but not for large groups. There is two sit down areas, one being the main spot and the one right next door. I wouldn't recommend a group more than 4 since the space inside didn't look like it had a big enough table for more than 4 people. You order through QR scans on the table. One QR scan per table which means your group cannot look at the menu or order separately. One tab per table. Doesn't look like there is an option to split pay. You can only pay on the app/QR scan. If you're paying with cash, you pay up front. The food is brought out by the robot servers. I am getting use to that. We ordered the dim sum set meal, treasure box, and one shrimp tempura roll. The dim sum set meal and treasure box is pretty solid. I highly recommend. The shrimp tempura roll wasn't as exciting. Since this place is more like a self service spot, sauces and utensils can be found next to the register. I had to ask for plates though. I would definitely come back when I am in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I think the attraction will be the robot delivery and the interior design.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food a bit overpriced. You ordered thro' QR code menu and paid for them at the same time. There are no spoons for the miso soup and it's very small bowl. I called it " Mini" miso. wontons are small, too. Dinner Bento is probably worth the money. Crabs rolls look good, tasted real crab. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely not liking the plastic cups for water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Table too small to hold everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not sure want to return. read more

While the katsu sandwich is one of my favorite things to ever, I have trouble with the discriminatory nature of the service. It seems to not be my personal experience that the people who work and own the business do not care for their customers unless they are white. My cousin and I sat and ordered plenty of food, while the waiters did not check in on us ONCE. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After giving us a table next to the bathroom, they dropped off our water and that was it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shortly after a white customer came and they were so friendly, greeting them with smiles, constantly checking in and even stopping by for conversation. Even while picking up our dishes, the waiters did not even dare to look at us. It is unfortunate that a business only serves its white customers. Truly a terrible let down for such good food. read more

This place stood out amongst the neighborhood because of the outside decorations. It's decorated so cutely and has a lot of Murakami art and some hypebeast art shown off, complete with some Supreme decals LOL. SAGA Kitchen basically houses food from like four different restaurants (if you can call it that?), so you can get sushi, dim sum, Japanese cafe-style food like curry and sandos, and ramen. Service was decent, considering we were the only ones inside. A robot server gives you your food too! The food itself wasn't bad; the soup dumplings (xiao long baos) had little inserts of red vinegar so you could squeeze it into the dumplings. The pork katsu sandwich had good-quality pork that wasn't chewy like your usual pork katsu. Overall, it's a pretty fun place to be at because you seem to discover new decor each time you look around! read more

They describe themselves as a virtual Asian food hall, but for those that don't know that, the place is a little confusing. You can sit wherever and scan a QR code to order (and pay). Walk up to-go orders have to go to the right entrance where the extra seating is to place orders at the kiosk. They were decently busy between the dine-in and takeout orders so the food took 20ish minutes to come out. I got the salmon avocado roll which was tasty but a little chewy. The sake nigiri was a decent size, but was $5 for the one piece that was okay. Wish they would have given the tea in a mug instead of a paper cup; it makes sense with the food hall idea though I also wish they had some dessert or sweets! Definitely an area worth exploring. Overall not wowed but it's a vibey spot and will know what expect coming back read more

An interesting concept of dining in Alameda! We eat in Alameda a lot but mainly Park or Webster Ave. I was surprised to see a restaurant off the busy streets. In-person dining is available in their main restaurant or next door - there is plenty of seating. We are a family of four (with an infant) and ate in the next door dining room. I didn't think it was too cramped for a Wednesday evening. I think there were 2 other patrons there during that time. Menu options were interesting, as you can choose from different types of food. My favorite were the salted egg yolk buns! My daughter loved the kitsune udon as well. We returned on a Friday night for takeout and it was a seamless experience! Happy to return to Saga whenever we're back in town! read more

I've been on a mission to try a different ramen restaurant in the Bay Area each time I'm craving ramen. We decided to try Slurp Kitchen, a menu within Saga Kitchen. Note - there are four menus to order from. Dine-In service - there is a QR code at each table where you'll order your food online and a robot will deliver your food. Food - The chicken gyoza was yummy but I wish it came with dipping sauce. The tonkatsu ramen was unfortunately luke warm and the noodles were very over cooked. The broth had good flavor but I'm sure it would have tasted better hot. The pork chasu was equal parts fat and meat. My brother got the spicy ramen and his was served hot. Ambiance - Loud hip hop music is played and the vibes are very chill. A laid back scene perfect for interacting with friends. The cloth chairs are really dirty and could use some upholstery treatment to steam them clean. Just something I couldn't help but notice when arriving. Service - Friendly but you barely interact with the staff. You order your phone and a robot brings you the food. This isn't a complaint just an observation. I'd be willing to try this place once more and would love to try some of their other menus as well. read more

SAGA Kitchen is an Asian restaurant that serves dim sum, ramen, and sushi. I didn't get to experience the kitty robot but when you order you either have a employee serve the food or a robot! - - - - Meyer Lemon Shio Ramen // The egg and pork were delicious but I felt the broth did lack some flavor. The noodles were decent but lacked some bounce. - Niku Tantan Mein // I liked this one more than the Meyer Lemon Shio because the broth was a lot more flavorful. - Gokiyoi x Saga Sakura Treasure Box // The sashimi was pretty good quality and has no fishy taste. I personally liked the salmon more than the tuna. - Beef Katsu Sando // This looked really good but was really disappointing because the beef was super chewy which made it super hard to enjoy. - Dim Sum Set Meal // My favorites from here were the XLB's, salty egg yoke buns, band the deep fried shrimp balls. - - - The service here was honestly only okay because the servers barely check up on you especially when you're sitting in the other room. Overall, I would give this place a 3/5. They definitely have some good food on the menu. read more

Writing this review, not because I want to bash the restaurant, but because I could not for the life of me remember why I do not order from here even though I live so close. I ordered 90% of the dim sum on the menu and it is straight frozen/store-bought. You cannot convince me otherwise. Do yourself a favor and go to 99 Ranch or even Weee! and order frozen dim sum. It would be the same, but better. read more

On the plus side, the bento box was quite affordable and really generous! BUT.... the robot did not bring me my food!

I literally came all the way to Alameda from SF for the robot waiter. read more

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. In the theme of a shared kitchen, Saga is all Asian...yes! Offerings for dim sum to sushi to udon...sign me up! It's cool because, like other shared kitchens, you can order one time from any and all 4 restaurants (thus far), pay once, and the food is prepared and ready. The gf, pooch, and I ate there. There's a small patio (6 tables) out front along the curbside, and a very nice and clean dining hall next door (which we chose). We came for Dim Sum, so we got all of our items from Yue Club (upcoming review). All were served up hot, nicely presented, and large portions. It's a strong like, and thumbs up. Very nice people working here, too! read more

SAGA Kitchen - fried rice and Treasure Box - Dim Sum Near Me - Alameda, California

Our go-to when I need some Asian comfort food. It's got a bit of everything - Chinese dim sum, Japanese cafe food and noodle soups, and sushi. I appreciate the dim sum while my 2.5-year-old loves that as well as the cafe food. She'll say it's "So yummy!" while scarfing down the soboro don, haha. So it's always a good day when we have SAGA Kitchen for dinner. We usually do takeout since honestly, that's how I can actually access the miso soup if it comes with the meal. (There was one time I could not get the miso bowl top off and I gave up instead of getting help or burning myself, while eating with my toddler.) The service isn't terribly attentive especially if you're in the separate dining room, which works for people who'd rather be left alone when they eat. With a toddler, that's harder. The last time we were there, they were also playing explicit rap music, haha. Not a big deal to me personally, but something to note if you want to bring kids. Despite that, it really is my go-to and my toddler LOVES it, so all the stars! read more

Not to mention, the space is so cute and a robot delivers your food!! We tried: Saga Sakura Treasure Box ($32) - Temaki hand rolls kit was so aesthetic! Fish was very fresh Dim Sum Set Meal ($39.99) - Includes shrimp dumplings, siu mai, salted egg yolk buns, Shanghai fried buns, house XLB, and deep fried shrimp balls. Can't go wrong with some of the dim sum classics like shrimp dumplings and siu mai! Love the gooey filling and soft texture of the salted egg yolk buns. House XLB was also pretty juicy and flavorful! Sparkling Grapefruit ($3.25) - Pretty pink color and tastes mostly like sparkling water Koast Kombucha Lemon & Ginger ($5.95) - Tastes like the drink above but more mild in flavor Drinks we got weren't my cup of tea but definitely recommend the treasure box and dim sum! read more

Recently been into food hall locations! Happy to find this Pan-Asian location tucked into Alameda. They host these restaurants: Koharu (tonkotsu sandos), Yue Club (dim sum), Sachi (sushi), and Slurp Shop (ramen). Came in on Saturday at noon, and it wasn't busy at all! First thing I noticed was the gorgeous entrance and variety of different schemes, and seating arrangements. There's 2 main separate rooms along with outdoor seating. Also free wifi! Sachi: - Omakase Sashimi ($30.95) 4.5/5, my favorite cuts were the hamachi, salmon, then tuna. Comes with a few perilla leaves and there are a few hidden pieces under the perilla leaves. Koharu: - Beef Katsu Sando ($18.95) 4/5, good flavor and beef was tender! Yue Club: - Beef Ball Dumpling ($5.95) 2/5, too mushy and lacked flavor, would rec to only get this dish at actual dim sum restaurants. They didn't have the sweet soy-like sauce that usually goes with it too Slurp Shop: - House Tonkotsu Ramen ($15.25) 3/5, large portion of noodles, but overall okay. Overall, a fun, foodie experience. I recommend the sashimi and katsu sandos if you come! read more

I was very confused at first, but there are 4 different 'brands' or kitchens that serve different cuisine here: - Koharu = Japanese Katsu & Curry - Yue Club = dim sum - Sachi = sushi - Slurp Shop = ramen My S/O and I came for lunch, specifically for the sushi. Our Order: * Har Gow -- pretty good!! Would want to try their other dim sum. * Omakase Treasure Box -- good value (~$30)! The fish was good. The rice was a little vinegary. The included seaweed was stale. * Tiger Roll -- good * Miso Soup -- watery, don't get The weirdest thing about this place is the waitstaff/the layout of the restaurant. Is it half service? Is it full service? There was no one in the restaurant but the servers still went through the trouble to send the automated cat server to our table. They gave us water but we had to get our chopsticks (there a table with utensils and condiments in the middle of the restaurant). Regardless, SAGA is a good place if you have an contracting palettes in your party. read more

Great quality and well made! The house xlb was good. Loved the tofu skin cause of the extra crispy tofu skin wrapped with shrimp paste! - kurobuta pork katsu sando -- this was so freaking yummy!! Love how crispy and trended the pork was! Perfect amount of sauce and the bread was not too mushy or soft. Loved every bite! - beef katsu sando -- also a very good sando!

Pork sandos and charcoaled colored items were a huge hit in the recent years. SAGA Kitchen serves a mish mosh of Japanese and Chinese dishes, perfect for those who are indecisive! - Chicken Karage Curry - we arrived at 12pm (store opens at 11:30) and apparently they were all out of beef! Weird! But no worries, the chicken was cooked perfectly, not greasy at all, and seasoned perfectly. - Pork Sandos - very tender, perfectly toasted bread - Salted Egg Yolk buns - outside was very soft, fyi tasteless and not sesame flavor, inside was dry-- unfortunately, we waited too long to eat it so once opened, the yolk didn't ooze. Also, I feel we were skimped of the filling For those who are interested, there's a self driving robot that delivers your dishes.
