Kiraku

One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in the east bay! Ingredients are great quality! Cooked with heart and skills! I love the beef tongue! It’s grill to perfect tenderness and the outside is crispy and full of umami! So as Chirashi, every piece of fish is super fresh. Also staffs are nice. Good experience over all.

Absolutely phenomenal service and quality of food! Quite possibly my favorite restaurant of all time. Highly recommend the yuba spoon, nigiri sampler, and the grapefruit yogurt dessert. But you really can't go wrong here.

This is my favourite place to get a nice dinner, minimum in Berkeley, possibly anywhere. The staff are attentive and lovely, the ambiance is cozy, and the food is amazing. There's always new specials so you can go a lot (as I do) without becoming bored. I highly recommend any grilled fish collar they have on special, and the chazuke to finish a meal. Oh, and the corn tempura/rock shrimp tempura. I get those literally every single time.
