    Sashimi Dinner 14 pieces of deliciousness
    Wil G.

    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!

    Rainbow roll & New York (cream cheese) roll
    Monique N.

    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.

    Shin ramen with tempura shrimp
    Billy L.

    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.

    Lion King.
    Nancy C.

    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.

    Quiet and friendly place with the delicious food. 100+ options to choose from. The service was excellent.

    11. Lion Kingking

    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.

    Food is great. Service is good. Ambience is just normal. Come and try this place when hungry and would like something different.

    Tiffany A.

    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.

The authentic Japanese style food prepared in the Japanese tradition. The flavors of the orient were unparalleled. I was not sure if I was going to find any other restaurant that would compare. Then today, I can proudly say Kaisen don did it. I ordered unagi don, fried salmon head, my husband order chicken teriyaki with miso soup. It was served hot and well prepared. The presentation was excellent and visually inviting. The server was polite and attentive in the traditional Japanese style making us feel very welcomed. The soft Japanese rendition of American jazz playing softly in the background was perfect to set an ambiance of perfection in our dining experience. I most assuredly will dine there again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys great Japanese food and at affordable prices. If you are entertaining guests or are on a date night, choose kaisen don.

When I learnt the owner is Japanese, I have no hesitation to order the beef as a 2nd item. I was right about it. The beef was BARBECUED. (Yakiniku or Teppanyaki) Let me explain my hesitation for beef in Japanese restaurants. Most of the Japanese restaurants since 20 years ago were mostly owned by chinese. Chinese DO NOT BBQ. In China chinese cooking (***China only), BBQ is not good for the body (not just the guts). In China Chinese culture they call it (Hot Air) literally means dry. They claimed it was bad for digestion & bad for the girl's skin. So they usually tenderised the steak with baking soda to make it soft & slimy, then steam it & briefly sauté it only for the colour ( wên-pao or shui-pao). That is why I never order beef from Chinese run Japanese restaurants. The PREVIOUS owner was Chinese. *** Be patient while converse with owner. I thought they were Chinese & I was asking a simple question. Then a customer told me they ARE actually Japanese! I was RUDE !

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.
