    Lion King Roll, Samurai Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Caterpillar Roll
    Nancy H.

    Cute little spot right by the water, great for grabbing sushi after a walk along the bay. The service was pretty standard and friendly enough, but nothing super memorable. We had a late lunch so there was no wait. We ordered a bunch of rolls: Lion King Roll, Samurai Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Caterpillar Roll and the portions were huge. You'll definitely walk out with leftovers! Overall it was an okay sushi meal, not the most authentic sushi experience, but it's an option if you want a meal by the water with massive portions that will keep you full.

    Delicious and huge portions! Service varies but the food is good! Definitely order the bentos!

    I ordered picked up for lion king, bay scallops roll, hell la hot, island roll. The total was $77. 53. I got disappointed that they swapped my lion king for California roll. I didn't check when I left the store. They still charge me the lion king roll and didn't explain anything

    Came on a Wednesday afternoon around 3pm near the end of lunch hour. The place was clean & empty, we were quickly seated. I ordered the Chucky Roll, Lion King Roll, and Scallops roll. The Chucky roll was good, I didn't care for the texture of the scallops roll much. My favorite was the Lion King rolls. Overall I would recommend this sushi place, can't wait to come back and try more items!

    Wow this place is terrific! The Bento Box is a great value and you get a lot of food. Comes with soup and salad. I only got a picture of my soup and when my Bento Box arrived, I started scarfing it down immediately. A huge Yelp faux pax, I forgot to take a picture!! I ordered mine with Teriyaki Beef and California Roll. The California Roll was so fresh and delicious, I had no idea a Cali Roll could taste that good. It's usually such an underrated roll but this was a stand out. The Teriyaki Beef was a generous portion and very tender. This restaurant is so clean and spacious with lots of light from the wall to wall windows overlooking the water. Service was efficient with lots of different servers all helping out.

    It's been a while since I came back here, and it's still as packed as ever. Luckily we checked in on yelp ahead of time so waiting wasn't all that bad for us. Food still just as good as it was back when I last came here. Service this time around was slow, but that's cause they were short on servers. They tried their best to be attentive.

    The service was quite good, and the food was decent overall. However, if you're looking for a truly authentic Japanese dining experience, this may not be the place. I ordered a $30 bento dinner, which came with tempura, soup, salad, and rice, along with a choice of two main items. I chose tuna sashimi and yakiniku, and the portions were very generous. That said, the flavors didn't quite feel traditionally Japanese. The restaurant itself is fairly large, with plenty of seating and a pleasant atmosphere. We also ordered three different rolls, though I don't remember their names. The rolls were enjoyable and tasted good, but the overall flavor profile leaned more toward a Japanese-American fusion rather than classic Japanese cuisine. Overall, it's a comfortable place with good service and generous portions--nice for a casual meal, just not ideal if authenticity is what you're seeking.

    We were pleasantly surprised! I havent visited the Sushi house in over a decade, but I was in the area with some friends and they wanted sushi. We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon around 4PM and it was quite empty so we were seated immediately. Parking was easy. When we sat down, they brought us our menus and tea, and they were prompt to ask us for our orders. The orders came really quick, and we ordered the lion king(which everyone knows it typically takes a while). What we ordered: Lion King(4/5): This was the first this we were served and it was hot and delicious. Thet did skimp out on the salmon a little, you can tell how thin the layer it, it's the thinnest salmon I've seen on a lion king roll. They do add a lot of rice so it's filling. $18 for this roll. Hella hot(3/5): Okay not as hot and flavorful as we thought it'd be. It was average. Also $18, we didn't think it was worth $18. Marine boy(4/5): Unique combination with the salmon skin and unagi with the raw fish. We did enjoy this one and I'd never had a roll like this before. Matcha cheesecake(5/5): Yum! Delicious, but small. I guess that's just the norm though. The tea was also really good. We spent some time enjoying the tea with our matcha cheesecake desert and they didn't rush us to leave which was nice. The place did start getting bush around 5PM. Between three of us, we spent around $75. The prices do seem steep when you see the price tag of $18/roll. However, the rolls are decently substantial and the 3 of us were full.

    Dine in- Wednesday march 11 at 7pm (A weekday, not busy, normal) walk in no wait for table on the weekday. Hurts my Heart to give such a low review, because this was our go to sushi spot in the Bay Area for many years. All the years it's been 5 stars forshure, not anymore. Lately Service has been Under performing, the Lady waiters are almost rude, not friendly or welcoming at all. We are afraid to ask for something because they look angry or frustrated, at one point we asked for utensil and she forgot, we had to ask again. They also don't check on us at all. Tables don't look clean, they look sticky blurry, like they just do a quick wipe. The food is Always delicious and amazing, good size good portions. The Seafood udon soup is a 5 star soup, but for a the sushi..... It's been very sloppy lately. Doesn't look appetizing from the arrival. It looks falling apart, We have noticed this is frequent that the sushi rolls are Lazy sloppy work. We slowly stopped comming here from 4 times per month to 1-2 times a month. I would give 3 stars for the delicious food, but customer service doesn't help, and the rolls are sloppy, it wouldn't be honest. I do recommend coming here if you love sushi so much and don't mind sloppy rolls, but you know what to expect. lol We have been going to Angry fish sushi, their sushi is still 5 stars and more clean rolls.

    One thing about sushi house is their rolls are always huge and it's fulfilling. The prices have gone up over the year but it's still a good value for the portion. I love the fact you can use Yelp to put yourself on the waitlist. The service this time was much better but it could be a slower night. This restaurant is a good option if you want decent sushi in Alameda.

    Miso soup and fresh salad included with bentos

    Wow! My family and I have not been here for many years and I know there's always a wait! Delicious & fresh food, huge bentos, and friendly & efficient service!!! All 4 of us got bentos and they did not disappoint!! Nice miso soup, fresh salad, but Esp the huge amount of veg shrimp tempura!! We took home leftovers enough for another dinner!!

    Sushi House is one of my go to spots, especially since it's close to Alameda beach. It's honestly a nice place to hang out with friends or family after being by the water. The sushi is always fresh and really good, and they have a lot of options to choose from. They also have a good variety of drinks. It does get pretty busy, especially on weekends, but they have a waitlist iPad (Yelp) right when you walk in and a small waiting area in front, so it's pretty organized. If you're doing takeout, you can just call ahead for pickup which is super convenient. The restroom is clean and well maintained too :) They do close for a bit during the day and then reopen, so just keep that in mind. Overall, really solid spot. Good food, good location, and nice staff

    Sushi House is still one of the best Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area. The staff are all very kind and service is efficient. Even with a full house, they always remember what I ask for. The portion sizes are huge. I can never finish my entree. I feel like each entree can serve two people. The restaurant sits near the water so it's beautiful, especially in the day time. Been coming here for more than 15 years so will definitely be back !

We stopped in for dinner with some out-of-town family during the Christmas holiday, and the whole experience was utterly delightful. The staff were warm and welcoming, the ambiance was pleasant, and (most importantly) the food was EXCELLENT. I neglected to get pics of everything we ordered, but my Tofu Don (teriyaki tofu with ground pork and eggs over rice) was incredibly tasty - the perfect "comfort food" for a cold rainy evening. I can't say enough about how lovely and kind the staff were. They went way beyond simply taking our order and serving our food - rather, they made us feel like family, treated us to dessert, and even sent us home with a small bottle of sake as a thank you for dining with them. This place is new and probably a bit under the radar at the moment, but it really deserves to become one of the must-try joints in Alameda. Check it out ASAP!

He found this place so we went to give it a try. It's in a plaza so there's parking . When you walk in it's a cute store front . Modern but cozy . Customer service was nice and fun . Our waitress was very helpful . Oysters on the half shell were fresh. Yall know that's my favorite and I'll never tell no lies ! The sauce they put on it was a nice touch and not overbearing the fresh oyster taste ! Tempura has a nice crispy batter and the prawns were plump not skimpy or chewy . I also got the Santa Barbara hand roll because I really wanted uni but they don't sell uni as an appetizer. The hand roll itself was good nice flavor loved the salmon eggs , just wish there was more uni ( probably because that's what I really wanted lol I'm being honest okay ). But the star of the show for me was the SPICY LION KING ROLL . I've had plenty of lion king rolls throughout the years but never had a spicy one and it was bomb . I think what makes it spicy is the sauce they use . Wasn't too hot just an extra little kick to everything going on . We were sitting right next to the sushi makers and they overheard us talking about how good it was and they loved our vibe . We chatted and got to a point they gave us a free dessert which was so good ! I forgot the name but it was like a soft fluffy pancake filled with cold cream like vanilla ice cream ! I'd definitely give them a try and would come again .

Lastly, we got some Miso soups, which were some of the freshest tasting Miso soups I have ever had. Everyone was very helpful, friendly, checked in with us and chatted with us when it wasn't busy. People around us were having a good time and the vibe was relaxed. Even the people next to us, started to chat with us a little because they loved their sushi and wanted to know more about what we ordered. Will certainly be back!
