    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.

    Ok, I don't know if I'm tripping or what. $8.95 for a New York roll with Shrimp, cream cheese, and avocado. This roll should be listed as cream cheese, a lil shrimp and a lil avocado. Am I the one tripping that thinking for $9 plus tax and tip that I should have at least whole shrimps and not slivered ones in my roll. And the avocado is sliced so thin it looks like a bad piece of bologna. Depending on how my salad and Rainbow roll taste, I might not be back.

    This way my first time enjoying my meal with the nicest people I've met here who helped me order amazing delicious ramen and sashimi! Thank you very much to Tatiana and Alison! Your advice was perfect! The seats were comfortable with the soft seats and the inside is very clean when I was there. Many great items to choose from. I'll be back soon! Also a shout out to the sushi chef. Really great job!

    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.

    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.

    Ordered, picked up and there were no chopsticks or about sauce in the bag. The food was good, however annoying that they couldn't be bothered to put any utensils in the bag.

    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.

    I haven't been to Fat Fish in yearrssss and it's just not the same anymore. Not sure what happened, but it's no longer bang for your buck serving size and quality. Also, I'm pretty sure they were trying to close early since we were the only ones dining so we were rushing to eat and get out of there.

    I've been coming here for years and always pick up. Quality has always been the same great well prepared tastes good and never disappointed. The Lion King is great as well as the deep fried California roll, regular California roll, New York roll, and avocado roll. All are my favorites. I should explore more but these are always my Go-To. Service is always good. Ambiance ok.

    stingiest salmon on a lion king ever. I usually order my sushi at fat fish but I probably won't for a while. i could barely taste the salmon. This is the smallest amount of salmon i've ever gotten in a lion king. 0/10.

    Huge menu selection. Almost overwhelming. The fish is fresh. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. All in all i would recommend hitting up this place for your sushi fix. The ambiance is lacking. I wouldn't necessarily want to dine in though.

Arrived on a weeknight and the place was quiet. Loved the decor on the inside. After a few beats at a table, I knew I had to switch to bar sitting. That's always the place to be at a sushi bar. Totally made the right choice! THE SERVICE AT THIS PLACE WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! From the hostess, to the waitresses, and of course, the chef, these folks really treated me super well! I would come back simply for that. I'm such a sucker for great hospitality and its the secret sauce that keeps folks coming back! Had a few rounds of the most beautiful nigiri! Some of the best fish I've had in a while! So good! I also had a great sake flight. I may have been a cat in my past life because my absolute favorite was the hamachi carpaccio. Beautifully plated and served with a lovely salad on the side. So good! I could totally just have had a few rounds of that and would have been in complete heaven.

Their menu has a big variety but I thought some prices were a little high for certain items. They do give a good portion size and the food came out fairly quick.

    We came here for a birthday dinner for our son-in-law so I reserved a table on Yelp for 4 people…read more No problem if you come early as we found parking in the lot. Since it was a birthday celebration we ordered agedashi tofu, gyoza, chirashi sushi, sake don, salmon lover roll, unagi hand roll, salmon skin hand roll, 2 - three item bento boxes (one with salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki and short ribs and the other with salmon teriyaki, sashimi and beef teriyaki. The service was attentive and everything was tasty and fresh. I enjoyed my salmon skin hand roll, my 3 item bento box with salmon teriyaki, 4 piece sashimi (2 tuna 2 salmon) and beef teriyaki. The sashimi was fresh and tender, however the beef was alittle chewy and not as tender as I expected. The complimentary birthday dessert was a tasty treat and we all shared. This place is a go to for my daughter and son-in-law and they picked this place. My first time here and it was enjoyable, with good service and good food.

We got there around 7pm on a Friday. It was busy but we got sat pretty quickly. We ordered 2 miso soups, tofu, fatty combo sashimi, and 2 rolls. After about 30-45 min, we received our tea, miso soups, and the tofu appetizer. After about an hour, we got our sashimi. And after sitting for another 30 min, we decided it was time to cancel the rest and get our check. All the other tables were getting their food and we were just sitting there waiting. Waiting that long for food is unacceptable. And after all that, all we got was a sorry and "here's a 10% discount card for next time." I don't think there will be a next time.

We enjoyed our experience there because we did not feel rushed and the food came out in a timely order. I dislike when the appetizers come after the food, so it was nice to feel settled in and gauge how hungry we were before the entrees came out. On this particular occasion, we got a variety of dishes including some bento boxes, sushi rolls, some sashimi for me, and fried appetizers. I'm not usually a big fan of raw salmon based on a couple of negative experiences I've had at other restaurants, but I remember changing my mind after eating it at Makiyaki. My niece saw I was enjoying my food and even asked to try some of what I was having! It was a memorable moment for her as she had never eaten raw fish. She felt particularly proud of herself as a reformed picky eater. Things I like about this place is that parking is right in front. If you're not able to find it right away, there's plenty around the block or across the street at Safeway. The place is small and cozy but was able to accommodate our medium-sized group after the weekend dinner rush. Our server checked on us an adequate amount of times. We didn't feel ignored, but also not suffocated /rushed, and our food came out on time. They have some alcoholic beverages, soda, and hot tea. I would come back for an intimate dinner with friends and top it off with ice cream from either of the shops in the parking lot.
