    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.

    Sashimi platter
    Nancy W.

    There is no free plum wine don't know why yelp says that. We spent over $150 for 3 people. The fish overall was mushy but at least not fishy. California rolls were very tasteless. Sashimi platter pic below should have taken it from the side, the tuna was like a little triangle. Weirdest sashimi cut we ever ran into. It's ok if you want Americanized place. First page menu has rolls mostly with fried items and spicy sauce, that should be enough to drive off the true sushi lovers. Will not return again.

    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.

    Fire cracker balls

    My favorite place in alameda I've been trying every sushi place in alameda one by one and this hands down has the best miso soup! So delicious, fire cracker balls are superb! 6/5! Chefs are so welcoming as well at the bar!

    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!

The only challenge during our visit was the speed of service. It seemed like one person was handling both drink service and taking orders, even though there were additional staff members working besides the sushi chef. I think dividing responsibilities a bit differently could really help improve the flow of service and make the overall dining experience even better. That said, everyone was kind throughout the night, and we still enjoyed our dinner. With a few small adjustments, this place could really shine even more.

Host thought it was a mistake and completely removed me from the wait list and seated other parties that came in after me. Thoroughly confused - she didn't even call my name to confirm so I had to go up to her and ask. No apology either. Was seated at the counter where solo diners usually sit. Service was non existent. Server came up to me and ask "what would you like to order?" I've never been there before. No "hi my name is ... I'll be your server" nada. They're just a machine - people in people out. The ramen - broth was fine. The squiggly noodles aren't my favorite. Expected to have kernel corn but had corn ribs instead (good thing I'm good with chopsticks!) The charshu was just okay. Enoki topping was just ... aight. The nice touch was that they didn't put it in the ramen and served it on the side to preserve its crunchiness because it definitely needed the texture! It was loud, busy, and nothing spectacular about the dining scene here. $55 dollars later (ramen, 2 additional toppings, one box of sake) ... I sadly don't think it was worth it.

We like…read moreto try to find something near residential and walk, but even then it can get frustrating to find a parking spot. Once you walk into the restaurant, there's indoor and outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating is covered by a patio, and on colder days, I'm assuming they will put a heater out there? I'm not too sure, since I don't actually eat outside often. Indoor is well lit up, and has a decent amount of seating. The biggest table I have seen seats around 6 people, but can be more if you have small children I suppose. We mostly order the rolls here, and to be fair, it's a decent pricing. However, it is a hit or miss. 1. Lion King - Decent. Taste all the same everywhere you go if you ask me. 2. Deep Fried Spicy Tuna - Must have, definitely my favorite. 3. Golden Gate - More on the saucy side with imitation crab meat, it's basic. 4. Dragon Roll - Again, same anywhere you go. 5. Double Salmon Roll - Salmon on the inside, salmon on the outside. Cheaper alternative than to just getting nigiri or salmon sashimi. The customer service here is not the best in my opinion. The first time we took a friend there for his birthday, and it was terrible. The host, waiter/server, and manager disregarded us. However, a table next to us got the friendliest treatment. The type of treatment you give when you expect them to come back so you can address them by their name. The second time we've been here, the customer service was basic. No expectations, just take your order, serve, and a simple question of how is everything. Honestly, customer service could have been much more reasonable at even the most basic level. Overall, the food is ok. I wouldn't say it's like the best, but if you're here for lunch or a quick bite, it's fine.

It was filling and we really enjoyed the different fish. We ordered both types of uni (Santa Barbara and Hokkaido) - the Hokkaido uni was our favorite! Be sure to ask the chef for their opinion too if you can't decide. The soup and the salad with the omakase was good - the dressing for the salad was pretty yummy too, though probably could've used a tiny bit less of it! I think with all the add-ons we really ran up the bill, but it was still really good, unrushed service, and just a nice peaceful spot for our group to catch up. Overall, definitely recommend for omakase in the area and extra plus that it is in a plaza so parking isn't an issue like some of the other popular places in Alameda.
