CHEF TERIYAKI REVIEWS

I had an amazing experience at this Japanese restaurant. The service was exceptional—our waiter was friendly, attentive, and guided us through the menu with helpful recommendations. The food was outstanding, with the sushi being incredibly fresh and the ramen having a depth of flavor that was just perfect. The ambiance was equally impressive, with a minimalist yet warm decor that made the dining experience feel cozy and intimate. Soft lighting and traditional Japanese elements created a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot.

Quick bite hibachi style. Protein with rice or noodles. Also serves sushi and milk teas. Salmon teriyaki was good, my dad like the shrimp and mushrooms. They also do big orders for catering on everything. You can eat inside or out small area for either dine in options. Most customers order Togo. Entrance just before the 92 ramp towards Hayward/ Oakland on Hesperian.

Best value and good quality. I love it here. I used to go after school sometimes for lunch. Honestly, I wish I could go more. It's really worth the money you pay. Some people go to grocery stores for cheap sushi (yuck). Your money is better spent here. I'll order so much and pay a very reasonable amount. LOVE.

NAKED FISH REVIEWS

DELICIOUS. I asked for something not on the menu. I showed a picture of a sushi dish I had down south and they made it perfectly. The service was quick, polite, and a very welcoming atmosphere. Very clean, and polite servers as well. I would definitely recommend this location.

A really great place for Japanese cuisine. I have a lot of favorite dishes and rolls. Every one has been good. I've known the owner there for many years, he's a really nice guy and everyone there is super nice as well.

The food is really good I recommend chicken upon or seafood udon wich is a soup with chicken or seafood with vegetables and noodles,also I get the lobster roll it's really good and the other is called Dennis roll also lemon drop roll is really good.

ROLLA CABIN REVIEWS

Classic old school hole in the wall restaurant. Very unassuming from the outside and warm and welcoming on the inside. Food was some of the best classic dishes I've had in Cali. I highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Japanese food.

My second time to come. The Chirashi bowl is fantastic! Better to have reservation on weekend nights. They only have 5-6 tables besides bar seats, most with reserved signs. Also love Unagi/Avocado rolls, tempura, karage.

Mom and pop (literally) Japanese restaurant with very authentic dishes! Very cozy spot and they don’t have that much capacity, so reservations beforehand.
