    Hut and seating
    Gabrielle T.

    Aww, such sweet service! I'm pretty sure that the woman that served me may have been one of the owners and she was so attentive and kind that she made me really enjoy my visit. I settled into a booth in the corner and ate my usual sushi setup: miso soup and a side salad with an avocado cucumber roll. It was very good and the staff were welcoming the entire time, checking in on me to make sure I was enjoying my stay. I loved the decorations in the restaurant, too. Faux foliage, wood everywhere, it was gorgeous. It reminded me of some sort of secret garden and I loved the feel of it. It's a little dim-lit because of the surroundings, but I didn't mind at all and had a great time. Between the food, the staff, and the vibe of the space itself, Sushi Raku is definitely worth a visit.

    Our go to for Chirashi because the fish they serve are thick slices and fresh. We also ordered the karaage curry, whick included two huge croquettes with the chicken karaage. Temperature wise, the karaage curry was super hot. No way I can finish the curry based on the size of the serving.

    Portions are huge and food is amazing. I live in SF but would definitely drive out of my way to eat here. Wayyyy better portions, taste, and price for a casual spot than what the city has to offer. Staff is soooo soo friendly and it feels very welcoming! I would definitely be back! So yummy!

    We have definitely become regulars, I could eat their Beef Ramen soup anytime and my husband's preference Chicken Udone. The flavors are really good and if you want a kick in the spice department just ask for some on the side.

    Ice cream

    The service was amazing and the workers are so nice! The place is so cute and has a cozy vibe! And the sushi was priced pretty well! They even gave us free ice cream and candy!!!

    We decided to try this place on a whim. And we were pleasantly surprised! Service was ok, not enough wait staff and they took their time getting the bill and to go containers. The food was surprisingly very good. Fresh ingredients, very fresh fish, vegetables, and meat. The dinner comes with miso soup and a small green salad. The food was prepared fast and we didn't wait long! The casual vibe, decor was eye appealing, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We definitely will be coming back for the delicious fresh food and fast service. This might be our new go to sushi place in the concord area. The other's we have tried haven't been as good and fresh as Sushi Raku!

    Complimentary Ice Cream!

    10/10 coming back again for sure! Service so fast, and staff super welcoming and kind. Love the atmosphere from this restaurant. Definitely recommend!!

    Chicken Katsu with Sashimi.  Katsu was perfect, sashimi was huge slices but just OK
    Kirk R.

    Came here for lunch at 11:15 on a Friday, restaurant was empty so I had my choice of seating. Staff was awesome. Immediately greeted me, then again I was the 1st one there. I ordered a Bento box with Chicken Katsu and Sashimi. The waitress brought over a steaming hot bowl of Miso which was a great starter on this chilly day. When my Bento arrived I was blown away with the portions. Refreshing salad, a huge pile of perfectly cooked rice. Two, Not One, Katsu cutlet and 5 pieces of Sashimi. All for $16.95. Score..... I believe their 5 piece Sashimi on the appetizer menu was $14.95 by it self. So the chicken Katsu cutlet was cooked perfectly, Crispy on the outside, moist fully cooked on the inside. As for the Sashimi, 3 tuna and two salmon in huge slices. The tuna was just ok, salmon a better quality. Bottom line, a great find. I've been here before for rolls and they were awesome. I'd probably not come here just to order Sashimi or Nigari but for a Bento or Roll, you can't go wrong.

    49er's Roll Tonkatsudon Gyoza
    Ianna P.

    My sister and I were craving Japanese food after a trip to the mall and we will definitely be coming back to this location! For the 49er roll, the salmon is so fresh, the cuts are thick and generous and melts in your mouth. We came about an hour before they closed and the salmon was still SO fresh. The Tonkatsu Don was such a huge portion and it came with two cutlets and an insanely huge amount of rice. The miso soup and side salad were also so delicious, we usually never eat either at any other Japanese spot. Other than the amazing food and great portion sizes, the customer service is amazing!! The host was so so sweet, very smiley and enthusiastic. At the end of our meal, she also brought us complimentary green tea ice cream and candies while we finished up our food and paid the tab! If you're in the area and want a good sushi/ramen/rice bowl spot.. def come here!! :-)

    Bento box for dinner (Salmon Teriyaki and Choice of Two Item Dinner) our two items: sashimi and California roll

    The food (esp the miso soup!!!) was absolutely delicious and fresh. Good servings and the service was stellar. Humble and kind people, very chill and relaxed mom and pop shop vibe when we came in :) we will come again when visiting!

The salmon teriyaki was also tasty, although I thought the salmon portion was a little on the small side. The option to add another item for only $4 is a great deal too. Definitely a good spot for an affordable and satisfying Japanese lunch!

I appreciated the attentiveness from the staff working at the sushi bar, however, upon first bite of our sushi rolls, the quality was visibly lacking. The tuna my mom ordered did not look fresh and the color was a bit off. I ordered 2 rounds of unagi handrolls and they were drenched in unagi sauce so i couldn't really taste the unagi itself. The options on the conveyer belt were limited and the food looked like they were left out there all day (we were there for dinner). And finally, we ordered the soft shell crab hoping it would have some redeeming notes and it left an unpleasant sour aftertaste. It was not fresh and that was the last straw for us. The ambience inside was cold and lackluster. It didn't look like much thought was put into making the space feel inviting. I was not a fan of the interiors. Unfortunately, this place was a hard miss for me.

We had just placed our order when our daughter started crying because of her sleep regression. My husband took her outside to change her diaper, but she was still very upset. We felt terrible because our food had just been served, and we had to ask if everything could be packed to go instead. The two wonderful ladies who helped us were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I apologized for the inconvenience, but they immediately reassured me that it was completely okay. I believe the lovely woman who seated us and packed our food was the manager, and she told me she understood because she's a mom herself. Those simple words meant so much to me that I almost cried. As a new mom, moments like these can feel overwhelming, and their compassion made us feel seen instead of embarrassed instead of judged. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care are something I will never forget. We didn't want the amazing food they had just prepared for us to go to waste or lose its freshness, so we parked outside and enjoyed our meal right there in the parking lot. I'm so glad we did because everything was absolutely delicious! You can truly taste the care they put into every dish. Thank you to both amazing ladies for treating our little family with so much warmth and understanding. I wish I had gotten your names so I could thank you personally. We will absolutely be back the next time we're out of the city--hopefully when baby girl is a little older so we can enjoy our meal inside from start to finish. If you're looking for incredible food and customer service that comes from the heart, this is the place. Thank you for making our first family outing one we'll always remember.

I came across another Yelper's review and decided to try out Okini Sushi, in Pleasant Hill. It's a few miles off the 680 freeway, located in a scenic neighborhood. I ordered a delicious crab meat salad topped with avocados and I ordered off of the Happy Hour menu, with an aloha roll, it is a crabmeat, cucumber roll salmon on top with seaweed salad decorating the top of the roll. I ordered the mini chirashi don, which was a perfect main dish with five large slices of sashimi over rice, seaweed salad and a couple of nice spices of tamagoyaki (rolled egg), plus miso soup and a side salad. Easy listening music plays in the background, the wait staff are very nice and polite. The family at the next table with two little kids were given cute children's sectioned plates with kids' chopsticks, which was very convenient for the four year old to use, however, the two year old wasn't big enough to use chopsticks. This was a perfectly delicious lunch, with enough leftovers for a later dinner meal. Do try out this restaurant if you're driving along in the East Bay on the very long 680 freeway, it's a detour of five miles in land. There is plenty of parking here, it's located next to a barbecue shop with sauces, which I'll need to check out afterwards.

    Hidden inside Oak Grove Plaza, Ozora Sushi is a true gem for sushi lovers…read more One of the things that keeps me coming back is that they occasionally offer bluefin tuna and, if you're lucky, toro sashimi. The only catch is that both can sell out quickly, so it pays to arrive early. The Jaw Roll, which features bluefin tuna, is one of my absolute favorites. "Delicious" does not do it justice. Even on days when the bluefin is unavailable, there is no need to worry because the menu is filled with excellent options. I have yet to try a roll here that disappointed me. The garlic edamame is another standout appetizer, though fair warning: you'll be protected from vampires for at least a day afterward. It is packed with garlic and absolutely worth it. For dessert, the fried banana with vanilla ice cream is the perfect way to end the meal. The restaurant has plenty of tables, though a short wait is common during busy times. In all my visits, I have never waited more than about ten minutes. Because Ozora is so popular, it can get a little lively and noisy during peak hours, but never to the point where I have had trouble carrying on a conversation with the people dining with me. To me, the buzz is simply a sign that this place has built a loyal following.

As soon I walked in I was greeted immediately this review has nothing to do with service but overall the how the food is made in this restaurant. The restaurant is cute and nicely decorated but the food doesn't match the restaurant reviews. I ordered the JD Roll, Volcano Roll, Godzilla Roll, chicken karaage, and calamari. The JD Roll lacked sauce, and the quality of the fish was mediocre. The Volcano Roll was about a 4/10 in my opinion. I requested no eel due to my boyfriend's allergy, but overall the roll was still lacking flavor. As for the appetizers, both the chicken karaage and calamari seemed over-fried, bland, and tasted as though the frying oil needed to be changed. I was especially disappointed because I had been looking forward to the meal, and the restaurant's reviews are generally very positive. Based on this experience, I don't know if I would return.
