We have been enjoying this restaurant for many years. On that note, I felt it necessary to recognize their effort with the quality product they serve you. The rolls are plentiful, fresh, and have a beautiful presentation. Prices I find on point. My only critique is they have the computers on the table you can use to place your order; I objected and a waiter came and took our order. He was professional and pleasant. The ambiance has a cozy vibe, and is well maintained. read more

This is a no-frills sushi place that doesn't really have wait service, since you order on a tablet when you indicate that you're dining in. The ambiance is a bunch of diner-type tables that need a little more cleaning up. The food itself is just okay. Although the prices are lower for Japanese food, it also reflects the quality and portion. For example, we were surprised that my partner's salmon dish was so small. He had to order more protein to add on to the dish. My partner did like his sushi roll but felt the way I did about my sushi roll: too much rice and it didn't stick together much so it fell apart. The veggie rolls were creative though and although I have the same complaint about there being too much rice, I still thought that it was nice to have the option of vegetable tempura rolls. The avocado roll was a little on the softer side with the avocado being a little mushy. read more

I've tried most of the Japanese spots around here and had skipped this one for a while because of the reviews, but finally gave it a shot. Prices are definitely on the cheaper side, so that's a plus. That said, a couple things stood out right away, the outside of the place looked a bit rough and not the cleanest, which didn't give the best first impression. Food wise, it was just okay. I ordered the shin ramen with tempura shrimp. The broth itself was decent, but the egg kind of fell apart and had more of that egg drop soup texture, which was a little odd. The shrimp tempura also didn't seem very fresh, the batter was different than what you'd expect and it tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Overall, I'd say it works if you're just looking for a quick, inexpensive fix, but I wouldn't come in expecting anything super authentic or high quality. You kind of get what you pay for here. I probably won't come here again. read more

Fat Fish - Shin ramen with tempura shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

This sushi spot has plenty of parking, with a small lot and street parking nearby since it's close to downtown San Leandro. Just a heads-up--you do have to pay before receiving your food. They do give you green tea and miso soup on the house, which is a nice touch. I ordered the spicy garlic edamame, which was amazing and very flavorful, and the baked roll was delicious and a standout. The food was really good overall, with big portions. The quality and portion sizes make it worth stopping by, and I'd definitely come back for the food alone. The place is small and can get crowded. The staff was okay--mediocre friendly--but the ambience was nice and welcoming. read more

I guess they got off early today. I've seen the boss leave early. I'm sure the employees want to leave early as well !! That sucks. I guess the old man is living on the cusp. Praying for his partner to keep the business going!! Looks like this place is nose diving into the ground!! read more

I've only been bere to pick up and every single time they never miss! I usually call ahead! the bento boxes are really good but the sushi rolls are also really good! A big plus is being able to get crunch on the side so that's definitely a +! read more

A coworker said they would always come here to get sushi even though they live 45 minutes away. With that said, I had to try. We ordered take out for a mini birthday dinner. The staff on the phone were friendly. You should always have them repeat your order, especially if it's a large order. They didn't enter my order correctly and it was only the first two items I said. Pick up only took 20 minutes like promised. Well packaged and provided enough utensils. Rolls - All of us agreed that while the portions are big the rice was not good. Everything fell apart once you pick it up and there's no vinegar taste to it. Katsu Don - I liked all the ingredients they included (katsu, cabbage, onions, egg, carrots) because some include other random toppings. But the flavor was lacking. Barely any flavor. Overall, for the price it was good. I'd probably come again for other items. read more

Fat Fish - 11. Lion Kingking - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

I ordered The Lion King roll, caterpillar roll, superman roll, and a bento box. The food quality was really poor taste old and no flavor. The rice on the sushi was soggy and seems like it's been sitting for days. Im not sure what I bit into but never had to spit out my food before. The tempura batter was really soggy and tastes like ****. Also, the miso soup was very salty. The side salad was really wet with water and not drained prolly as it made the dressing really runny. Overall, I spent $62 for a very bad food. read more

We ordered this to go and although the sushi roll combinations were unique the rice was just too much per roll. The sushi was drenched in sauce and everything tasted like a California roll with spicy mayo. I also got a chirashi and the fish cuts were giant. The fish quality was very sad and not glossy. The fish is very dull and looks thawed out. Some of the cuts broke apart like it's been sitting out too long. The miso soup was interesting it had random pieces of noodles in it. Not sure if that was how they made miso soup or some other dish fell into the soup broth. I'm glad I gave it a try but will definitely not be returning. read more

The menu is quite lengthy. It is posted on the wall, and you order before you sit. So, it's a little awkward standing there as a first time customer, starting at this menu with something like 80 different rolls + other menu items. For some reason I decided today was the day to be adventurous. I ordered an aloha roll and a Godzilla roll. First I will say, of you order the Godzilla roll; you can probably share it. Or at least don't order anything else for yourself. That roll is huge. Because of its extremely large size, it was difficult to eat. But it was pretty decent. The aloha roll, I would not recommend. Cream cheese and spam? Why did I think that would be a good idea. Hard pass on that one. The restroom could use a bit of a deep cleaning. Or maybe it's beyond that and just needs a straight up face lift. Anyway. I will probably return, try something a little more normal next time. Or maybe not sushi because the udon looked good too. We shall see. read more

Fat Fish - Godzilla Roll & Aloha Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Fat Fish Sushi is one of my favorite spots for sushi. My go-to rolls are the Golden Gate, Aloha Roll, and the Chicken Teriyaki Roll. They're all so good and always come in great portion sizes. I also love their spam musubi and the egg rolls, which come with an amazing dipping sauce. The food is very affordable for sushi, and the customer service has always been good. The restaurant itself could use a little more ambiance and maybe some renovation, but overall it's a great place to go if you're looking for tasty sushi at a good price. read more

- ingredients are not fresh. Good sushi, even if far from what traditional sushi is, needs fresh ingredients. We tried 5 of their rolls. The rice was stale, and given how much of it is in a roll its hard to overlook. The soft shell crab had such an off putting aftertaste; muddy and fishy. The shrimp tempura was soggy and tasteless. - the place looks relatively clean, and the staff are helpful. And service is fast. - their sauces are good. Unfortunately the sushi was below average. read more

Large portions. Site of an old Taco Bell, parking lot in the back. Nothing fancy here, just plain ole big portions. You order at the counter, take a number and they bring the food to you. You get your own water . We had the Rock and Roll sushi, platter of shrimp and vegetable tempura, and two charashi bowls. So muck food for 3 people. read more

The food was so yummy, Me and my boyfriend got the fried california roll and oyakodon. 10s around the board. They also serve every table with miso soup to wash down the food. The only con would be it is ridiculously hot in there, like after a while we started to sweat. But I definitely would return, maybe for takeout next time. read more

Used to be my go to spot but lately it's been nasty, would usually get shrimp tempera, green dragon or lion king but they been taking long when making it and once I get my order all the sushi falls apart. Yeah my last time goin here read more

Exterior: it is a cute, yellow, small building along by the busy street with a small parking lot. I will have to say, it is pretty old and outdated by looks. Interior: interior is fairly small, once it gets to the busy hours, it does get crowded. It is outdated however, is cute. I have come here a lot of times in the past, so they have not update anything for a long time. Food: I usually get the Lion King, it's ok to me. I prefer sharing it so I don't get overwhelmed eating it cause of the richness from the Lion King. I usually go for a lot of the rolls for whatever I feel like ordering and the portion sizes are pretty large. Overall: This place has been opened for a long time and I have come here with my family, even though we all tried a different sushi spot, my family would come back here. Because the food are just that great, and my other family members would ask me where I order my sushi cause it is good. I am not saying it is the top of the line sushi place, it is a good spot in this area. read more

A little hard to notice, humbly located in San Leandro on 14th Ave. I think they took over a taco joint from the looks of things. With that, this is diner and lunch counter style sushi, not your snooty, up scale type. Still over $30 for below order of three items. California Roll. Basic roll so not much to get wrong. And yet, micro serving of avocado and mostly just imitation crab. Avocado was less than fresh. Edible but meh. SOS. Not very spicy, which is fine by me. Crunchy flakes on top were very stale, and I was there right at opening. Lots going on, but kind of meh flavor intensity. Crazy Horse. Refreshing, albeit a bit bland. Good for a sashimi fan. read more

It's a small hole in the wall. This location has always been a go to for many years and recently they've installed ipad menus so your party could order from the table as soon as you walk in. Perfect for a small gathering. The sushi is okay, well presented, but the portions are especially a bit larger than the average spot. read more

This place seems more of a take out place, than a dine in place to eat and lounge. Inside is small, and not large but there is still seating. The prices here for sushi are fairly inexpensive compared to other sushi restaurants in the bay area. Service is quick, ambience isn't quite there but that's okay. The sushi tasted delicious and I was happy with the prices! read more

This is my go to sushi spot. - affordable - filling - fast I highly recommend the platter. This is the small platter. It feeds about 3 The only downside is that the rolls repeat a lot of the same ingredients so the rolls taste the same after a while. Other than that, I think this is a great alternative to spending an arm and a leg on sushi that doesn't fill you up read more

I have been going to this restaurant from time to time ever since it opened, and each time the main chef has turned over, the quality of food has declined. Recently I took a friend there expecting a decent meal and regretted it. Sushi at Safeway would have been better. The "California Roll" was a very salty faux crab salad rolled up inside rice and seaweed. Said roll was sliced randomly, I had a 1.5" slice, a 1/2" slice, and two diagonal-ish slices, my companion had different sizes of slices as well. I ordered 3 pieces of sushi and one was quite wide, drapping over both sides of the rice, one was the width of the rice and the third was longer than the others. The lack of uniformity in preparation is concerning because thats one of the hallmarks of a trained chef. Also characteristic of Japanese cousine. I ordered the grilled salmon, and it was overcooked and dry. The tuna on the sushi smelled fishy and was chewy - not feel like fresh, sashimi quality fish. We both had salads, however mine was mostly the white stalk, not the green leaf - my companion had more lettuce leaves in hers. There was no care or pride in how the meal appeared or tasted, which says a lot about how they feel about their customers. On the positive side, it is great they are now open Sundays, there is new technology that allows you to order at the table, and the service is warm and friendly. If only the food was fresher and prepared more mindfully, I could see myself returning here. Makes me sad, I live in the neighborhood and appreciate having sushi nearby and have always had positive interactions with the owner. I hope they find a professional sushi chef to run the kitchen to provide the quality control needed to serve fresh and properly prepared food, in which case I will return. read more

I went here on a Monday night, and the place was empty. We were looking at the menu because we hadn't been there for a while. They have a lot of options for your sushi needs. The cashier had a little attitude because we took too long to order. We felt like we were being rushed, but nobody was behind or in the whole restaurant at all, so I did not see the need to rush us. We got the Lion King, lobster roll, poke salad, and miso soups. The miso soups were delicious. The Lion King and lobster roll were delicious as well. If you like baked sushi, I recommend these! For the poke salad, these are delicious, but I remember the serving used to be way bigger. When we got this, we were surprised how small it got, and for $8! Honestly, I wouldn't get it again because it wasn't worth $8 for such a small portion. The place has booths and tables so you can eat alone or with a large group. This place would have gotten 4 out of 5 stars, but it's getting a three due to the service we received. read more

Ok, I rarely give a poor review but...don't know what happened but not the same! I have been eating at Fatfish for years. I have been at the location when the building was an old Taco Bell, but something happened. Not the place I love. First they have table ordering but no one knew how to use then little machine. Because I have allergies, I need to customize my food. The little machine did not show you how. The food was subpar and the cost was higher. I was so sad. The owner used to sit by the front door and would greet you, making you feel welcomed. Hopefully over time it will get better but for right now, it's a no for me! There were no up to grades to the dining area, but not the place, I hope overtime it will get better. read more

Fat Fish Sushi is along a busy street, so it may be inconvenient to get to/leave from. There is a small parking lot though, so at least you do not have to try to find parking. I do not come here often because I prefer quality over quantity, but sometimes I want to give them another chance to prove me wrong, since it is more affordable than every other sushi spot. I ordered a couple of my usuals on my last visit - a salmon roll and an order of salmon nigiri. The salmon roll smelled and tasted fishy, and when I tasted it, it was fishy and slimy. The salmon nigiri was more rice than salmon, so the rice masked more of the fishiness taste. read more

Is this a cheap sushi place? Yes Is this a delicious sushi place? Not so much, but good enough Will I come back? Probably We had Lion King, Superman, and Volcano. Lion King: Very standard, but you can never go wrong with Lion King. Superman: it's not bad, I ordered it because of the soft shell crab, but then I wouldn't say the soft shell crab was that great. I definitely had much better ones. Volcano: This looked good in pictures, but it was so spicy! (I would say that I can't handle spicy that well, so maybe I should've known by the name "Volcano"). So I would recommend being cautious for this roll. Price: Most rolls are in the $12- $15 range, but you do see rolls under $10. read more

I have been a long time patron of Fat Fish & for the price, it is a reasonable place to eat. Unfortunately, my to go order was wrong & had to make another trip. Always check your items before you leave. We had to drive back to have them re-make the food & there wasn't any apology or compensation for the trouble. I was a little disappointed about their customer service. As far as food goes, I always get the Dragon Roll (eel), Tonkatsu, teriyaki chicken & avocado roll. Dragon Roll-contains fresh ingredients, avocado, masago, unagi, tempera shrimp was the only ingredient that wasn't as fresh & probably frozen. I love the sweet teriyaki sauce on the unagi & the slight crunchiness from the tempera, that's why this is my go to at Fat Fish. Bento Boxes- Tonkatsu & teriyaki chicken with soup & salad. Tonkatsu was crispy, but didn't have much flavor without the sauce. The teriyaki was nicely grilled & a regular favorite. For the price, Fat Fish can't be beat. read more

maybe I went on a bad evening. I usually love this place to get takeout, but this last time had me questioning my sanity. fish portions as always were good so I'll add a star, but the rest of it was so questionable.. I got a 49ers and a fat fish roll. the 49ers was ok, it used to have a peel and was sliced thinner but idk what happened there, bc now you just get cuts of just big cuts of the lemon's fruit on top the the salmon. the fat fish roll's cuts were ROUGH and there was no sauce or tobiko on top like the menu says there is. there also was little to no shrimp in the tempura- I felt completely ripped off. i don't think i'll be coming here for a while. read more

The service was excellent. I ordered the bento box with the california roll and teriyaki chicken. The chicken were shredded and wasn't fresh. Most of the chicken pieces were so hard that I was not able to bite them. Was not close to the picture that is on their website.The roll was so so. The salad was very fresh and so was the rice. A slice of orange came with it and it was refreshing but not sweet at all. My partner order two rolls.The tuna was not fresh and the color was pale, dull, and old. The tempura was soggy and the seaweed wrap tasted stale. The Fat Fish in Pleasanton is the place to go. We were very disappointed. We thought we would try this establishment since the Fat Fish in Pleasanton was outstanding (5 stars). I would not recommend this Fat Fish to anyone. read more
