    AYCE menu
    Matthew K.

    Sunday dinner got the all you can eat. Was pretty busy , so service was a bit slow. You get 3 rounds , max 2 rolls and 5 nigiri per round per person. 90 min. The ayce menu is a bit limited compared to their regular offerings. The rolls I ordered were nothing special, they make them pretty big , so be prepared.Nigiri was pretty good , would recommend the salmon belly and escolar. Fish quality was high. Although service was slow I left pretty full , doing 2 rounds of food. Including tax and tip it was around 60$ A bit pricey for the limited options. Would recommend not ayce at this place.

    Ah another Kakuna Sushi location off my list. I didn't know that there were so many locations up and down the East Bay and South Bay. The decor is very modern, simple, and sparse. They have inside seating only. The service is very friendly, thoughtful, and attentive. Two Roll Special - Spicy Salmon Roll & California Roll (4/5). Both rolls were good. Salmon Teriyaki Donburi (4/5) - served with miso soup & orange slices. Support your local business.

    Sashimi Deluxe
    Justine C.

    Ordered the Sashimi Deluxe, they have good size portions. I didn't get a picture of the pork belly bao and it was really delicious , the pork is tender and the bao bread is toasted, which I have never had but oh so good. The spit fire roll and kakuna roll are good portions too. We opted the ala carte but they also have all you can eat but it is a selected menu. I think we found our new sushi spot.

    Hokkaido roll and Negihama (Maki)
    Dayna M.

    I have passed by this place a few times and wanted to try it out. I ordered Hokkaido roll and negihama maki togo and it was ready in 15-20mins. I walked in and they directed me to the to go counter and gave me my order while the restaurant seemed to be filling up for those eating in. I wasn't expecting this to be amazing, it was mid. Hokkaido roll didn't taste like much besides spicy mayo since it overpowered everything and the negihama maki was ok had too much rice. The restaurant appeared to be very clean and bright. Overall, I don't think I would return.

    Came here with friends to try this place, mainly because they hadn't been before. The AYCE menu has very limited options. It was meh. We were charged extra for unfinished pieces, after we told them we'd eat it. I've never got charged for extra unfinished food and even more so after finishing it. There are better AYCE sushi options around.

    Came here with my friends so they can try out this place just because my friends haven't tried here. We never had their all you can eat so we decided to try that all you can eat menu. We realize that all you can eat doesn't have that much option. You're better off getting off the actual menu and do à la carte. The food all tasted all the same to us. I don't know if it's the sauce or just the stuffing that was inside.. We were kind of eating and they told us that they can bring us to Bill. They brought us the Bill and ended up charging us more for some pieces that was left over. We told them that we were gonna finish it and they need to take it off. They said OK and they came back with a receipt. It was not taken off. I called her over and asked hey you guys still charged us.. She said that oh we're going to close in 20 minutes so you should just take it home. She already ran my card too... sigh Overall, I don't know about this experience. I've been to many sushi, restaurants, and all you can eat.. this left me with an unsatisfying experience..... The place is clean though . But I won't come back again.

    Chirashi
    Con C.

    Got the chirashi bowl, gaijin roll and Kb 8/24 roll. Tasty and good for a quick fix. KB 8/24 is a bit spicy and the poke is overly wet so might need white rice with it. Only ones in the restaurant so attentive service and fast wait time. Clean and decor was nice, but could use some pics on the walls. Will come again!

    Chicken Teriyaki
    Brian T.

    Stopped by here while I was in the area. Quality is consistent as I go to the South San Jose location too. I gotta say, it is definitely one of the best sushi spots in the area. The restaurant is very spacious and the service was pretty quick. The tables looked like it used to be a hotpot restaurant before Kakuna opened. We got some appetizer and then the entree. Chicken Teriyaki (4.7/5): The quantity of this dish is probably enough for two meals if I'm being honest. The sauce isn't too watery or thick and it is not your average sweet teriyaki place. he chicken is a bit smokey and taste great! The rice is on the mushier side, but that is my preference in rice. California Roll (3.7/5): It is your average California roll. However, I think that they put too much avocado over the imitation crab so it taste like I'm eating mostly avocado. I think that they could also make it with a bit less rice too as it does overpower the filling. Spicy tuna roll (4/5): It was pretty good. I think that it had a nice kick to the tuna. The filling was actually a good amount in the middle. I think even though I stopped eating this maki, it still taste pretty good to me. Takoyaki (4.2/5): I find the takoyaki to be pretty delicious. The outside was crispy with a nice soft middle. It came with two sauces on top with the tobiko flakes. One downside to me is that the suace is really heavy and creamy. I prefer to be less sauce and let the takoyaki itself have more of the flavor profile. Wherever I am, when I see a kakuna, I know I am in for a good time.

    I visited this all-you-can-eat sushi spot in downtown San Leandro. There's plenty of parking, but it's paid parking. Be aware--if you leave even a small amount of rice, they may charge you extra. Also, if you choose the premium all-you-can-eat, everyone at the table is charged for it, even if they don't order premium items, so make sure to read the fine print. The restaurant is very spacious, and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the staff was not friendly, and I received attitude when I asked why I was being charged for leaving a little rice while others left a lot. Overall, the food is decent, but the service and extra charges are something to keep in mind. Make sure to come hungry!

    AYCE menu

    I went to Kakuna Sushi after seeing it online and hearing they had all you can eat. First off, the all you can eat is a lie; it's only three rounds, and it doesn't say that anywhere in the directions. The restaurant was also a bit slow. They took our order and brought the food to the table, but they messed up a few times--either bringing the wrong items or forgetting to bring some. I noticed this happened to the table next to us too. The customer service wasn't great either. Our server would bring things with a shrug and just slide them on the table without telling us what they were. Plus, they didn't check in on us much. Since we had to ask the servers for help several times, I couldn't tell if they were short-staffed, but the restaurant wasn't packed. The food quality was okay. A lot of the dishes were covered in sauce, so you couldn't really taste the quality of the fish (even the oysters had sauce). Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.

    Kakuna might be some of the best AYCE sushi I've had in a while. Came with a group of 5 on a Sunday night and it wasn't busy. The menu is extensive. You can either order individual rolls and dishes or do AYCE. We opted for AYCE and had no idea what we were in for. You know how when you go to AYCE sushi and they sometimes give you smaller portions of their rolls etc because there's 3 rounds? Yeah that's not the case here. Their rolls are HUGE and delicious. We made the mistake of ordering way too much round 1 because we thought they would give smaller portions and were left with tons of sushi left. Like most AYCE, they charge for left over food so we paid an extra $40 on top of the regular charge. Not their fault, they even warned us that left overs would be charged. We just had no idea how much food it was going to be. It's ok though we got to take the rest home and had lunch for the next day. That's being said the sushi is fresh, the udon was flavorful and the spicy chicken don was high quality. If you're wanting AYCE this is a solid choice, but honestly recommend just getting 2 rolls as it's cheaper and you'll get FULL with the size. Interior was a little dirty, straw wrappers and food on floor.

    Valcano, Dragon Roll, Mega Cali and Chicken Yaki Udon

    My favorite, only place I go for sushi!! Always take a taro milk tea to go Go to order: dragon, valcano and chicken yaki udon for my baby, every time!!

    I was craving sushi and decided to stop by since I was in the area on a Thursday night. We went with the all-you-can-eat option and tried a bunch from the specials, including the Lion King roll and the Boujee roll. My favorites were definitely the oysters and the Boujee roll. They were fresh, delicious, and gone way too fast. Some of the other dishes didn't hit the mark for me. A few of the fish had a strong "fishy" taste that I didn't enjoy. They seemed to try to balance it with lemon and sugar, but it wasn't really my thing. The Lion King roll is baked and takes about 15 minutes to come out. It was warm on top but cold on the bottom, and the heavy sauce made it a little mushy, which threw off the texture. The staff, on the other hand, was amazing. Staff were really friendly and attentive, always checking in and refilling our waters. Overall, I'd come back if I was craving sushi, but it's not my first choice.

The shrimp and other seafood were excellent quality and really stood out. The chicken katsu was also very good. One of the nicest surprises was that they gave us a small container of appetizers on the house. The corn fritters were unexpected and so good, and the sesame balls were some of the best I've had. We also shared an egg roll, waffle fries, and another item I'm blanking on, but honestly everything was enjoyable. We left with enough food for another meal for the two of us, which made the value even better. It's a long way from Roswell, and I don't know how often we'll be back in the area, but if I'm anywhere near here again, I would absolutely eat here again.
