    Omakase
    Laura S.

    This place is phenomenal. We've only ever ordered through DoorDash out of convenience (we don't live in the area) and it has never disappointed. We get Sushi Time twice a month :) My husband and I order the Sushi and Sashimi plate. We love the variety of fish they give. Also the quality of it is incredible. The fish is always fresh and melts in your mouth. The salmon nigiri and sashimi are my favorite. Today, we decided to get the omakase for the first time. Every piece was unique. Again, so fresh and there was so much food!! We've eaten quite a few of their rolls and our favorites are Cherry Blossom, Ichiban, Salmon Lover and the Warriors. We've tried a lot of sushi spots in the East Bay and this place is our favorite.

    I really enjoy the omakase here. They are prepared fresh with good ingredients. My kids love getting various rolls. We also like the salmon kama that they sometimes give out for free (it's been inconsistent, we don't know when they give it out free but have gotten lucky half the times we're here). Good service. Easy parking in the lot. Seating is very limited, so I recommend you go earlier than normal meal times. We came at 5pm for dinner and there was no line and food came out quickly. We like walking across the street afterwards to get icecream. It's good exercise after a fulfilling meal and a nice treat too.

    Consistently delicious each time I dine here, whether it's with my besties or my fam, we always have a yummy meal. Small interior so get there early if you want a seat! Love their rolls - good quality fish and light rice ratio. Ichiban, 49ers, Warriors, Dragon, Alhambra- can't go wrong with any of their rolls. Their bento boxes are also fire with ample portions. Excited they have toro on their menu now, but they ran out the day we were there. Will be back for it next time! Thanks Julie and team for hosting us (especially my toddler who throws things), amazing food and for the wonderful service!

    This place definitely gets packed, mostly because there isn't a ton of seating. There are only a couple of outdoor tables, and during the summer heat, I honestly wouldn't recommend sitting outside. That said--this spot was a pleasant surprise and honestly feels like a bit of a hidden gem. I didn't expect the sushi to be this fresh, but it really was. The quality was excellent, portions were generous, and the presentation pretty much speaks for itself (the photos don't lie). Service was decent--nothing particularly memorable, but it was efficient and got the job done. The real star here is the food. We had to wait a bit because it gets busy, but once we were seated, everything was worth it. I especially loved that they offer omakase, and the hand rolls were stacked--full, fresh, and seriously delicious. Overall, if you're okay with a bit of a wait and limited seating, the sushi here is absolutely worth it. Come hungry and be ready to take photos.

    Take out from Sushi time! The freshest fish!! White roll and warrior! We also had the chicken yaki udon- very different flavors than other yaki udon we have had. Peppers, broccoli, zucchini and the flakes like on taki balls. I wish there was more chicken.

    We found this place online and decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is a bit small, good for small groups of up to four. And you can use the tablet to put in an order. We ordered the Omakase, the dill roll, and the baked unagi roll. The fish was fresh and delicious, but their rolls were a bit too heavy in flavor for me. I had to keep eating ginger to cleanse my palate.

    We came across Sushi Time on reddit of all places, and wanted to give it a try. The shop itself is quite small, probably only 6-7 tables, but when we went on Saturday afternoon, we were able to get seated immediately. We ordered the omakase, the dill roll, and the baked unagi roll. The fish were all quite fresh. A decent spread on the omakase, from scallop, seared tuna, shrimp, regular tuna, and I believe a tuna roll. The baked unagi roll was heavy but not in a bad way, just a lot of sauce and quite large. The dill salmon roll was pretty good as well, salmon was fresh but I wouldn't say it necessarily wowed me. Overall, not a bad sushi place

    Perfect 49er roll
    Lauren T.

    My daughter and I stopped for lunch and we had exceptional food and service. The tako maki was fresh and hot and yummy and came out in minutes. The two rolls we had were delicious. The waitress was friendly and checked on us regularly. I highly recommend.

    Amazing as always! This place delivers consistently excellent sushi--super fresh, and just look at the picture to see how thick their sashimi cuts are. It's not only fresh, it's truly a great value. I ordered four pieces of sashimi, the katsu curry with an add-on of California roll for an additional of $5, and it all even came with a salad. The pork in the katsu curry was juicy with two thick, satisfying slices. Not to mention they gave me free tea. So generous. Service was outstanding--the true definition of great customer care. The ambiance is cozy, welcoming, and very clean. Highly recommend! I love this place and the owners!!!

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Alexis G.

    Customer service is always so great!! Great place for kids as they are really accommodating! They offer small plates, cups and utensils, even small miso! You order off a computer and wait time for food is less than 15 minutes! New favorite spot on a cozy day! Limited seating but it's never an issue for us!

    Seared Toro roll with fresh crab, avocado, masago, green onions , unagi sauce, sesame seeds.  Delish!

    Always a pleasant dining experience! Fresh sushi is the best! I enjoy the quality and presentation of the dishes!

    49ERS
    Carlos S.

    Disappointed and not what we expected based on the other good reviews posted here on yelp! Location: small corner restaurant with some table seating inside and I think the table outside is theirs also but not sure since there is another restaurant next to them. Not good for large parties (5+) Service: Placed order for pick up, gave my ph# and had to spell my name twice. It was nice to get a text saying my order was ready but when I picked up and said my name, the employee looked confused and couldn't find my order. The issue - who ever took my order entered my name completely wrong and not even close and should have verified by the ph# and items ordered. Food: The sushi rice used tasted old for the rolls and the plate, the lemon used for the 49er did NOT taste like a lemon but more orange like even the color was different. I don't know how fresh the salmon was used for the nigiri and roll but it had an off putting texture and taste (not even like a farm raised salmon flavor). The Julie's Favorite roll says it has tempura flakes on the outside but if you look at my photo, it was drowned in it probably to cover up the salmon used. The menu is misleading because it doesn't describe if sauces are placed on the rolls, so we didn't expect sauce on the shrimp tempura roll.

    Convenient, fast, clean and delicious should be the name of this place. This is such an easy spot to get to and enjoy some delicious sushi when the craving hits make sure to stop by this place. When you sit down the menu is at the table and digital, making it easy to order and add to your order. 10/10

It was chewy, super flavorful, veggies were perfectly cooked. It was just perfect. Caramelized chicken. This dish was good. The imitation chicken was chewy and tender with crisp caramelized edges. The sauce was sweet and it was balanced out by the veggies and spinach served with it. Bamboo soup. It was so delicious and simple but the broth was so umami and savory. The veggies were so fresh and so well prepared. This is definitely a new favorite spot for us. Looking forward to going back.

While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.
