    Inside
    Mel S.

    Decided to try something more basic and got a three-item bento box for lunch. I usually prefer fusion rolls and nigiri, but wanted to mix it up. The bento box consisted of the following (alongside the salad, soup, and rice): - California roll: not the best ever, but not bad - Chicken teriyaki: I never order this at restaurants, so it was kind of fun to try - Gyoza: the gyoza was fine, but the sauce was not gyoza sauce. It was super sweet. The service is always good and the staff is always very nice.

    Saba (mackerel) entree

    Finally got to try out Sushi Broadway. I used to come here for many years when Kamakura was here. For the non-Alamedans, and tech bro transplants, Kamakura was pretty much an institution in Alameda that was here for decades, and had a very loyal following. The owner was a sweet lady who was ever-present at the restaurant, even at a very advanced age. I think Kamakura was actually one of the first restaurants I experienced when I came to the U.S. as a child, and certainly the first time I tried Japanese food, which remains one of my very favorite cuisines. After Kamakura closed, the place sat vacant so long (thank you, ridiculous Alameda real estate prices and permitting requirements), that I was beginning to wonder if this location would ever be brought back to life again. Then, at last, a new sushi establishment called Sushi Broadway opened. I have no idea if there is any relation whatsoever to the former Kamakura. The interior has been extensively renovated; it looks brand new and still has a hint of that fresh-paint smell. On a Sunday evening, the dining room was more than half-occupied, which is a good sign. We perused the menu, and settled on the Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel) entree, and the Double Sake Roll to share. The saba also comes with soup and salad, so it was more than enough for a full meal for the two of us. Prices for rolls and entrees are totally reasonable, but if you want straight sashimi, it is pricier, and I've noticed sashimi has gone up in price everywhere, so certainly not limited to here. And that's ok; would you want to roll the dice with cheap raw fish? I think not. Service was very nice and hospitable. Attentive but not overbearing. We were never rushed, which I appreciate. After our meal, we received a complementary pour of plum wine, which was nice, and Kamakura used to have this tradition of hospitality as well. We will return, and I'll probably have more to add after our next visit.

    Tempura appetizer
    Karen W.

    Came here with friends to celebrate my birthday and free street parking was easy to find. Walked into the restaurant and it is bright, clean and cheerful! I used to go to the previous restaurant that was here, Kamakura for many years and this new restaurant is entirely different, spacious and open. We ordered tempura appetizer and we each had a bento box. I had the salmon and tuna sashimi and beef teriyaki! Delish! And the nice touch was when the servers brought us a green tea ice cream and tempura fried bananas for my birthday! What a delight.

    Ichiban roll
    Mitzi W.

    My second time at Broadway Sushi. Love the updated decor from when it used to be Kamakura. A manageable variety of sushi rolls; appetizers and Japanese dishes to choose. The rolls are beautiful and generous. They packed up my leftovers beautifully! Loved the Ichiban roll, tempura portobello, sashimi starter and oyako don. Quality and ambience are why I love Sushi Broadway!

    Spicy dragon roll / Lion king roll
    Manuela G.

    Arrived around 4pm today (Saturday) and it was empty which was both great and worrisome (I hadn't checked the reviews prior so I wasn't sure about the place, it was a surprise on the spot drop in) We were seated immediately and given menus, offered water, and given some time to choose what we'd like. My husband started off with a beer and I asked for a Diet Coke. We skipped the appetizers as we just wanted something small. Quick note - this place is FREEZING. We came on a super cold day as it was and were looking forward to some slight warmth indoors but we were uncomfortable the whole meal and rushed through to get out because of how cold it was. Food : We ordered the "Bay" roll, Lion King, and Spicy Dragon Roll. As a non - sushi lover, my ratings probably won't be much appreciated. I'll include my husband (the sushi enthusiast) thoughts below. Bay roll: 6/10(I personally didn't try this one) had a harsh minty taste. Not to his liking. Lion King: 9/10 (I personally give this one a 10/10) I loved the cook on the salmon on the crab to salmon ratio was perfect. Spicy dragon roll: 10/10 his favorite, I'd give it a 6/10. A LOT of avocado if you're an avocado lover. It's both inside the roll and topped with it. The spicy sauce however, is amazing. The older gentlemen who we believe was the owner was so friendly and made the experience great (our waiter was also amazing and attentive) the owner brought us our bill at the end along with a delicious shot which was dangerously good lol. We'd love to return. Ambiance and service was amazing. I'll try a dinner plate next time and steer away from the sushi, just wanted to give it a shot today. I'll update once I try more of their menu options!

    Dessert: plum wine
    Victor G.

    Sushi Broadway opened recently in the long vacant space where Kamakura was. Infrastructure similiar with all new decor, fixtures, seating. Greeted courteously, promptly. Ordered. Food came within 10-15 minutes. Few patrons at lunch. Offerings (Japanese): appetizers, lunch specials, nigiri, sashimi & sushi, specialties, donburri & udon, Lunch/sushi/sashimi combos, booze.. Bites: 2 item lunch combo (18) -salad: iceberg lettuce, carrot shreds, white dressing. Tasty as usual -rice not firm. Fluffy short grain the usual. Good. -miso soup tasted sweet. Sometimes it is cuz: Instant mix contains sake or some mirin 2) has higher ratio of koji, a fermentation starter. *probably lst reason. Saba shioyaki: grilled mackeral falling off the bone quality. Moist, boneless with light dipping sauce. Tonkatsu had slightly thick dipping sauce, crispy crust. Informed waitress in Cantonese meat was 2/3 ngaang6 (hard), 1/3 nen (tender). Meant to say gon1 (dry). Nice finish with orange wedge & a timble of plum wine. 4 stars: quality: not consistent, quantity: good, worthiness: ymmv.

    Double Sake roll
    Richard B.

    First time here. Dropped in at the last minute. I never made it into the prior sushi place ocupying this space. We have driven by multiple times and tonight heading elsewhere we stopped here. Upon entering I was pleasantly surprised as to the number of diners here. It wasn't packed but it wasn't empty. Looked like it could be families from the neighborhood. I hate walking into an empty restaurant where the staff is looking at each other as its their last night. Not the case here! We were greeted and seated right away and ordered some sake as we looked over the menu. We decided on the Saba dinner and a Double Sake Roll. I'm a huge fan of Saba and it was grilled to perfection along with miso soup and green salad. The dressing on the salad had a certain tang to it and when the greens were gone I drank the left over dressing. (Don't tell my partner 'cause she'll think that's unrefined. Y'all know what I really mean) The saba was excellent and a full serving almost on it's own for the both of us. The Double Sake roll was also great and had a spicy sauce with a bot of a kick that was nice. A very extensive sake list along with more wines than I have seen at other sushi places. And of course the usual beers. Service was great and the prices resonable. We have our favorite sushi haunts in Alameda and I think this could become one of them. 4 stars for now since first time in. Totally in the running for 5 the next time here.

    Beef udon
    Kenneth T.

    Beef udon was delicious. The beef was so tender and juicy, the best beef udon we have around here in Alameda. Unagi Don was ok. Some parts of the unagi was chewy instead of tender so that wasn't as good. But the parts that were tender, which was about 70%, was umami delicious. It was good and reminded me of the original restaurant at this location - Kamakura. The combination bento box of gyoza, tonkatsu and teriyaki salmon was good. The only thing that didn't taste as good was the teriyaki salmon - overly cooked and overly dressed with teriyaki sauce.

    3/4/25 Shared restrooms with the other tenants.
    Lee D.

    Congrats on your new second location. 2 weeks new! Quality/Quantity - Over ordered as usual, but we wanted to support. Two Item Combo Bento Box, Chicken and Salmon. Came with rice, salad, and miso soup. Passion Roll - So fresh, see pictures. Crispy Spicy Hamachi Roll - Fried well. Good flavors, etc. The only thing that would have made this better was if the hamachi was able to stay raw in the roll. Dare to dream. Atmosphere - We miss Kamakura! Closed due to a fire in 2017. But now a beautiful new location. Looks like you moved the kitchen more upfront and made it larger. The sushi bar is also larger. Still street parking, both metered and free residential parking if you are willing to walk a few blocks. Open 7 days a week from 11:30am or noon to 9pm or 9:30pm. Service - Excellent. Very welcoming. Talked with Zhi about the history of Kamakura and how their remodel differed from the previous business. And the backup waitress was also good. Price - $55 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats to Andy Guan for your second sushi location.

    Starter sashimi dinner!  Came with soup and salad. Great keto option!  Fish was fabulous!
    Daniel A.

    Wow! Absolutely fabulous! Food was fantastic and the entire staff was super friendly and attentive! I think I have my new favorite Japanese in alameda! We shared the Glenview and it was amazing! The salmon skin chips were a super clever idea and super tasty! I always had the starter sashimi dinner. All of the fish was like butter and tasted amazing! Great keto option! I also love that they have soy paper as an option for the roles. I will be coming back here a lot!

    Oyakadon
    Denise Y.

    I ate here for dinner with my family last Saturday night. We were able to make a last minute reservation over the phone for 7:30 pm. When we arrived, we were greatly warmly by the server and shown our booth. Two of us, including myself, ordered the nabeyaki which was delicious and full of ingredients. One ordered the oyakadon which was also a hearty dish. One ordered the beef teriyaki dinner which was okay -- beef could've been a bit more tender. As a little bonus, we were served complimentary plum wine in the tradition of Kamakura, the former iconic restaurant in that location. Overall, we had a very nice experience here. The food and service were very good. We liked the ambiance. The restaurant was modern, warm and inviting with a good sized sushi bar. I hope this restaurant is successful, as it doesn't get the foot traffic it would if it were on Park St. We will definitely be back.

    Fresh fish and great food! My girlfriend and have visited many times since the opening. The people are very kind. We have spoken to the chef Nobu and he is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend this place for Japanese food! You can eat here and go right across the street to have a drink at the bar, Lemon Drop.

    Such a cute experience, British afternoon tea meets Malaysian comfort!…read more I came here recently with my partner for our anniversary and was completely delighted with the experience. Heads up, this place is street parking only so come prepared! I would also recommend making a reservation since it is a smaller space (it was busy when I came!) The menu is pretty straight forward and majority of folks including us ordered a set for $45 each person. It comes with two choices of sandwiches, a scone, an array of sweets, and tea of choice. What makes this place so great too is that they allow you to pick sandwiches that are traditional to English Breakfast or you can go out of your way to pick traditionally Asian flavors. Between my partner and I we ordered: Meat floss sandwich (my favorite but that is because I have an affinity for meat floss), beef jerky (love how it paired with the creamy mayo), kaya jam with butter (a delicious salty sweet blend), and chicken curry (comfort food at best). We both enjoyed the scone with clotted cream and jam, very typical for afternoon tea, and in the dessert tier we got chocolate rocks (fun!), macarons, ube chiffon cake, and a strawberry sago pudding. Heads up everyone in your party gets their own tea set so you can mix and match to share with folks. Btw, they do have square sugar cubes, a nice accent. Overall, I feel like you should try this place at least once! Everything was great including our service!

    Great little spot for a girls date! The ambiance was so cute inside. Small but very cozy feel…read more Service was great, she checked in only when we needed her by ringing the bell. They had an abundance of tea selections to choose from. You can also have milk on the side and sugar cubes are on the table. The food was delicious and had a nice twist of Asian spin on some sandwich selections and desserts. Nice spot to check out if you want a cute date or hang out with friends!

The seating is mostly at table tables along the wall walls of window. It was kind of neat to be able to sit and watch people walk by in the traffic as it ebbed and flowed toward the bridge. The early morning was rather quiet outside so it wasn't noisy at all. I had a lovely chai latte, extra spicy. It was perfect after the chilly walk to this little space of warmth. They had a nice selection of pastries, ultimately I chose a danish because I love them. This one did not disappoint. It was tender and flaky and went perfectly dipped in my chai. If ever, we are in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit. It was nice to step into a local place that wasn't a chain. I think the quality of staff and consumable offerings was just so much better than you would find at one of the other places.
