    This is far THE BEST all you can eat I had in the Bay Area! The bay roll (roll with scallop and a creamy sauce on the top) is simply AMAZING! The curry katzu is the best curry ever, it is very flavorful! I give them 5 stars because I can't give them 10. They use quality ingredients on the food, seasoning is perfect, the service is great, super kind staff. The ambient is also super comfy. I will definitely come back!

    + AMAZING SERVICE + Food Came Out Quick + Tasty Sushi + Flashy Venue - Expensive Sushi was good quality. Chicken Kara'age was just OK. Excellent service, accommodating a large party and giving us pitchers of water for the table. Everything was pretty expensive though. Also, the sushi here is mostly "American style" but if you're OK with sushi rolls then this place is solid. Enough talk. Watch my video review here: https://youtu.be/L-5dzFqUnvk

    Overall really great experience! Food quality was really good. I thought price point was fair. Love the menu, and that it had pictures of each one of the rolls service was great. It was small and seating wasn't plentiful. Loved the bento box! Would definitely come back here!

    Incredible roll - fave

    Great sushi and bentos ! First time trying it and the Incredible roll was amazing so happened to get it again. I recently came back from Japan and think their fish quality is great ! Large sushi portion and they are larger rolls so may start off with 1 or 2 rolls first. I think some ppl dislike how large the rolls are, but that just means you get more bang for your buck with just one roll ! My BF and I love sharing a bento and getting 1-2 rolls here. Their mixed tempura has a variety of vegetables that include green beans and zucchini, which are not too common in tempura mixes. I always love when I find a tempura batch that has zucchini. Fast and friendly service. Great open environment with cute yakitori decorations. I hear they do yakitori and would love to try it one time. They also have curry, dons, and soups. You order on a table at the table but I've seen some groups order with the waiter.

    Great neighborhood sushi place, located in a shopping center shared by Marie Callender's and Cold Stone Creamery (and Sunright Tea Studio at the other end of the center). Parking is never a problem on that side of the shopping center. They have an extensive menu so you are sure to find something you like. I usually get some sort of nigiri sushi or chirashi, kiddo always gets udon, and husband always chooses one of the sushi rolls. We are always happy with our food.

    Sakebomb Sushi & Grill has been one of my go to whenever I'm craving sushi. I've been here quite a few times and their sushi is good/decent and their service has been great each time as well. The goal when going to a sushi restaurants is to try as many different rolls each visit. Although, I do have my preferences on sushi but still try to order something outside of my preferences. I prefer raw fish over baked/deep fried but I'll still order it anyway. I have tried a good amount of rolls here some were memorable, some were okay, and some I don't remember at all. Favorite: Crunch Salmon!!! Top of my list. I like the whole combo of salmon, spicy mayo with a nice crunch, and cream cheese. - Flaming Dragon: this one is the exceptional non-raw sushi roll that I really enjoyed. Sometimes they give you a show by lighting it with fire in front of you and sometimes they give it to you already cooked. Either way, taste is good. -Crunch: Good by taste and texture yet simple and nothing crazy. -Spider Man: Not many, probably only (I could be wrong) soft shell crab roll here but this was good. -OMG Roll: I thought this one was just okay. Just probably my preference on deep fried rolls being the least favorite. The rice portion was a bit much as well -Raider Roll: good. I liked the fried sweet potato topping as texture Appetizer: Baked Mussel - good Aaaanddd... I don't remember the rest. I noticed this place is inconsistent. Sometimes the same things that were ordered before tastes different than other visits. My last visit (lunch time) was probably the most disappointing one. The rice on all the rolls were hard/uncooked or tasted like old rice but before it was never like this. I'm sure the next time it'll be fine again.

    Came home from a long week and wanted to order some sushi to go. I ordered a California roll, rainbow roll, and incredible roll. The sushi was good, I do like my sushi rolls to be a little smaller but the fish itself tasted great. The derived was fast only had to wait 15 minutes after calling my order in. The ambiance of the place was cute and small which I always enjoy.

    Mango sweet // super star roll
    Lisa N.

    A solid spot for sushi! I came here a while back in February and the staff were all very attentive and courteous. They have a really large selection of sushi to choose from! I appreciate that they have pictures for their sushi. I'm a visual eater and need to know what my sushi looks like lol. Prices are set fairly. We ordered Mango Sweet, Super Star, and Flaming Dragon (baked roll). I enjoyed all the rolls! My fave was Flaming Dragon and Super Star! The server came by to lit the Flaming Dragon! It was so cool! The wait to get our food was super quick! Plenty of parking spots. Card accepted. All in all, I highly recommend this spot!

    Chicken karaage
    Cheryl E.

    Maybe it's because I ordered the food to go that made the food less appetizing. But this is hands down one of the most disappointing karaage chickens I have ever ordered. The pieces of chicken they chose seemed like they were discarded chicken chunks or trimmings, so when they're battered and fried it makes it hard and chewy. Aside from the texture, there was practically no flavor. Sort of just tasted like frying oil. I ate 2 pieces before giving up. I even tried to hand it off to someone else but they weren't very pleased with it either. Sad to say that this ended up in the trash. We also ordered the incredible roll and a tempura roll. Upon looking into the bag, there must have been some kind of miscommunication because we were given a tempura shrimp appetizer and not the roll. So we were let down again. As far as the incredible roll. That may have been the only saving grace for this review. It was decent.

    Bee tofu soup, chicken katsu
    Princess C.

    The beef tofu soup is too much spicy when I ordered mild only. The food there is okay, it is what you paid for. But the service is waaaayyyyy too slooooow, our orders took forever. I give this a try cause my son and his gf tried it here.

    Sushi roll loaded with rice
    Sandy Q.

    After our dentist appointment, I took my daughter here to pick up lunch. I ordered sake tempura roll, orange blossom roll, shrimp tempura roll and a bento (salmon teriyaki + CA roll). In terms of taste, I thought the sushi rolls were bland. All of the rolls were loaded with rice and the salmon were thinly sliced. As for the portions, it was on the small side, compared to other sushi restaurants I've ordered from. For the price we paid, it was definitely not worth it.

    Lion king roll instantly fell apart and was seeping in mayo. Yuck!

Our kids started eating it, and then a few minutes later he came back looking embarrassed because the manager told him he had to take it back. After the kids had already eaten some of it. Super awkward and honestly not the waiter's fault at all. Then later the same manager came over to tell us we couldn't drink an outside beverage at the table. Totally understand restaurants having policies, but the way everything was handled just felt cold and uncomfortable. The food itself was decent, and the waiter did his best, but overall the experience was bizarre because of the management. With so many other great spots around with better hospitality, I don't think we'd come back.

I got the Kiwami Vegan extra spicy and my friend got the Kiwami Tonkotsu spicy (adding spice costs 50c more) and we received our food after 20 minutes. Kiwami Vegan (5/5): This was delicious! The curry broth and the plant based meat were well seasoned and the yuzu gave the dish a nice citrus kick. I love spicy food and usually feel like ramen is not spicy enough, but this was the perfect level. Noodles were tasty and there was a good noodle to soup ratio. My friend gave the Kiwami Tonkotsu a 4/5 and said it could be a bit more flavorful. She tried some of my Kiwami Vegan and said she would order that next time instead Overall, amazing vegan ramen! Although there isn't a vegetarian option, the vegan option is plenty flavorful on its own and I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Ramen Hajime now joins Marufuku Ramen in my list of favorite ramen shops in the bay. I would definitely return!

Being a broth lover, I can assess the authenticity of a ramen place by tonkotsu broth. And this place really does an excellent job in delivering a savory fatty bowl of tonkotsu ramen. I also added duck breast to mine. $6 for 4 pieces of duck breast is actually no bad of a deal, especially considering the quality of the duck breast slices. They were not super thick, but got enough bite in there for you to enjoy the texture of the duck meat. It was not overdone and did not lead to a less than desired rough sandy texture. Rather, it was possibly slightly undercooked. The skin was intact and the fattiness from duck skin just brought so much joy to every bite. I savored every bit of that in silence. Service was good, servers were attentive enough. Make sure to go in and put your name down on the tablet device. Do not wait outside "in a line" cuz they only call people by the tablet.

With so much ramen competition in the Bay Area, I had to try it out for myself and Uzumakiya's unfortunately does not stand out. It's your standard tonkotsu ramen, but you can definitely find better Hakata-style ramen elsewhere. My personal favorite being Ramen Hajime. To speak more on the ramen itself, the broth leaned more on the thin, watery side rather than the rich, creamy pork bone broth you'd expect from a good tonkotsu. It was also a bit salty. Noodles were fine, al dente. The waiter kindly explained that the only difference between the "Tokusei" (deluxe) ramen and the classic version was an added egg, extra pork belly, and seaweed. That didn't feel worth the additional $5 to me, so I opted for the classic black garlic ramen and added an egg for $2 instead. Overall, I don't think transitioning to ramen was the best move, especially because their udon was so special. I've genuinely never had udon like theirs in the Bay Area, which makes it even more disappointing that they no longer serve it on their normal menu. I'm sure many others feel the same way. I used to come frequently back when they specialized in udon, but I don't think I'll be returning unless they bring it back or if it's for their Aburi Shime Saba. Wishing Uzumakiya all the best regardless!
