    Black Cod Nigiri
    Stephanie K.

    We stopped by Keiko Fish for the first time while we were in the area, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is super cute, very clean, and the service was exceptional--friendly and attentive from start to finish. We started with the crispy spicy tuna and fried onion albacore sashimi--both were flavorful, but the crispy tuna really stood out. For nigiri, we tried the hirame, sea bream, sweet shrimp, and black cod. The sea bream was a favorite, incredibly fresh. Everything was delicious, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

    Keiko has so much to offer. We tried the crispy rice spicy tuna, yellowtail jalapeño appetizer, sparkling sake, miso soup, medium fatty tuna, and salmon nigiri- all very well prepared. The Wagyu nigiri with a bump of caviar on top is heavenly. The yellowtail scallion roll is delicious and simple. The service is quick and attentive. Pretty small seating area so I recommend making a reservation.

    We saw that this place had great reviews, so we decided to stop in an early dinner on a Saturday night. Starting with the ambiance and location: the restaurant is very clean, so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and on the smaller size. There's a bar that seats probably 6ish people, and maybe 6-10 tables depending on party sizes. Super charming inside. Pretty decent street parking and family friendly (although it was kind of tough to squeeze our stroller in there). Service was good, could be better. Our waitress forgot to put in one of our orders, so we needed to remind her about it, and I actually overheard that she did the same thing with the table right next to us. They were all very friendly and food came out pretty quickly! The food was amazing. It's a smaller menu (which I prefer) and their omakase looked amazing. I'll have to try it next time. The Crispy Spicy Tuna is a must and their Spicy Tuna Handrolls are amazing. I love spicy tuna, but I find that most restaurants just mix the tuna with mostly sriracha and call it a day. Theirs is very flavorful, perfect amount of spicy and if there is sriracha in it, I couldn't taste it at all. We did some rolls and edamame and miso soup and it was all so good! Overall, will be back and definitely recommend.

    Diablo roll (special) - Shrimp tempura, scallop, crab, asparagus and eel sauce.

    A lunch stop recently, I had been looking for a good lunchtime sushi alternative in Marin. Found this place on Yelp - Keiko Fish is located just outside of the main downtown business stretch on Magnolia Avenue. For those who toil at the parking situation on Magnolia, you'll be pleased to know that this restaurant is located in a little cluster of shops that has ample parking behind it in a dedicated lot. There were a few other patrons enjoying lunch when I arrived, just after 12:30. I sat at the sushi bar - the space felt inviting. I ordered a glass of sparkling wine after a bit of a wait. I also ordered a special roll, called the Diablo roll (pretty certain - it's not in their regular menu). Shrimp tempura, scallop, crab and asparagus with eel sauce. I always want to try the salmon sashimi at a new sushi spot because for me that is what gives a sense of how things will taste on the whole. If the salmon is outstanding, it says something for me. They sell nigiri by the piece, so I ordered a shiro maguro and a hamachi - one each. Overall, the fish was clean, fresh and delicious. The salmon belly sashimi was very good -- definitely not the best I've ever had, but I would have it again. The nigiri was correctly proportional - not too much rice for a nice piece of fish. They did not provide wasabi with any of my food, and it was not on the table - no ginger either. I suppose I could have asked, but I was already kind of pressed for time. The roll - although tasty - was extremely hot. Honestly took away from the enjoyment. I liked the flavor combinations though. Overall, a very good lunch. I always feel disappointed expressing any challenges I have at a restaurant that has a great vibe and kind staff. But I will say that I waited 25 minutes to even order. That kind of put me under pressure timewise to start with. It all turned out fine, but I will definitely say they could use another person to help out, even with a small space. If one person has four tables going in various stages of being seated, served or cashing out, service is definitely going to take a step back. I also don't quite understand why my roll was so hot. I expect that the tempura was pre-done, as well as the scallop. Perhaps it was on the heat too long before being placed on top of the cut roll. Still, the very kind staff, the good food, decent wine and bubbles choices, convenient parking and relatively reasonable prices warrant a 4 star rating. Perhaps I will return and try a different roll and see how things go on a different day.

    Tuna crunch appetizer (skipped the avocado, but the dish normally comes with it.)
    Rachel H.

    Nice space that formerly housed a hipster ice cream shop was repurposed by Keiko Fish. Keikos contains about 10 tables and a long sushi bar (a former ice cream counter, but you wouldn't know it) and from your seat you can see the action first hand. My favorite item was the tuna crunch with toasted rice, tuna, avocado and unagi sauce as a starter. Rolls ran about $20 but were large and much of the nigiri was about $6-$7 for a single piece of nigiri. The aesthetics in Keiko Fish are clean and bright: dark wood floors, modern cozy dining room, tons of windows. Fish here is plated nicely. The table setting was beautiful. Service seemed like it would be polished, but turned out to be unattentive: servers set down sushi without individual sushi plates or wasabi and ginger, and walked away, and had to be reminded. On the other hand, my nutty green tea was resupplied all night.

    Miso soup
    Emma S.

    Tonight was my son's and my first visit to Keiko Fish, but it won't be our last! One of the customers at the shop where I work was raving about the quality today and while I'm not the most devoted sushi diner, my son is! We were offered seats at the sushi counter and gladly accepted. There was a small staff on hand for a Saturday night and it had the feeling of being a family restaurant, given how friendly and welcoming everyone was to us. We ordered a tuna roll and miso soup to start. The tuna rolls were tightly wrapped and had a perfect balance of rice and excellent quality tuna. I've rarely seen tuna come out of the kitchen such a deep red color. I tried the Fried Onion Albacore Sashimi and found it a fun combination of crispy onions, naturally sweet, with smooth, tasty albacore, garnished with micro greens. My son let it be known that he loves tuna and the sushi chef offered to make him a "special tuna roll"! It was delicious! Tuna, rice, cilantro, yuzu, and other deliciousness... I didn't catch all of the ingredients, but suffice it to say, it was beautiful, filling and well balanced. Everything that came out of the kitchen was meticulously and artistically presented. While I enjoyed everything I tried tonight, I'm already planning what I'd like to try for my next visit: vegetable roll to start and then the hamachi crudo! My son is 20 and on our way out he admitted some of the terms like omakase and crudo were unfamiliar to him and he didn't work up the nerve to inquire. "Omakase" means Chef's choice and crudo usually denotes that the seafood/meat has been prepared with oil, citrus or vinaigrette, rather than soy sauce. Alaya was our main server, although Keiko explained the specials options and finished our service. We met Derrick and Eric behind the counter as well. Everyone was friendly and exceedingly kind. Unlike some Japanese restaurants where sushi rolls and sashimi are offered alongside teriyaki or tempura, Keiko Fish focuses purely on the fish, although there are a few other choices. If that's what you're looking for, the quality is spectacular and we were made to feel most welcome.

    If you are a fan of Sushi Ran, you are going to love this place. High quality fish, clean and simple flavors. The menu is not overwhelming. They offer unique specials and can even do special request rolls. It's a great addition to the downtown. Looking forward to trying some more dishes!

    This place is the best in downtown Larkspur. The ambience is cozy and modern. The food is delicious . I highly recommend KEIKO

    Crispy Rice to die for!
    Rachel L.

    Everything was spectacular here at Keiko Fish! By far the BEST sushi I've had in years. Tops my list for best sushi in Marin. But don't listen to me because I don't want it gaining too much popularity and becoming hard to get a table. lol. This place is pricey (honestly, worth every penny) so be careful when ordering because what's written on the white board/specials are sold by the piece not in pairs (which I think most are accustomed to) for this style is both brilliant and unfortunate. It's a great way to try new and unique pieces but not for your date, they don't get a bite. Trust me - this place is a superstar and I can't wait to indulge again soon. The staff was wonderful so friendly and knowledgeable even met the owner who's back behind the counter popping out fantastic dish after fantastic dish. Atmosphere is lovely, small, quaint and warm thanks to the open kitchen which also entertains the wondering eye. I wish I wasn't so obsessed with the food and remembered to take pics of all the dishes. (Only the first dish got photo opp.) Spicy Tuna on top of crispy rice, Avocado and eel sauce.

    Yellowtail Jalapeño. So beautiful.

That level of indifference says everything. Absolutely unacceptable service. We will never return.

The restaurant is in a nondescript pocket sized strip mall. I had my doubts, but felt we were transported somewhere else as soon as we stepped through the door. We were welcomed and seated immediately. The menu is extensive, mostly sushi and sashimi dishes. We ordered exactly the right amount for the two of us, including a special appetizer of a shrimp custard (yum), tempura shrimp (two shrimp, crispy, dipping bowl with a side of spicy daikon we could add). I ordered the Hakata Mizutaki hot pot with chicken and cabbage. My wife went for the Queen sushi roll with unagi, hamachi and sweet sauce and a small 2-piece sashimi plate. For dessert we ordered another special, a sweet potato custard that came with a generous scoop of the creamiest vanilla ice cream I've ever had. The presentation for the dessert was so special... it came in a lidded lacquer box (see photos). After recently eating in a terribly noisy restaurant, we appreciated that the sound level here was very low, making conversation easy. Our server was gracious and attentive (filling our pot of tea with hot water, and then pouring the tea for us). All of the food was fantastic. The total with tax and tip came out to $135 for two people. That's probably on par for the quality of the food, but steep for us, so this will become more of a "special treat" dinner place for us. But we do want to return to sample more dishes.

The flavors were authentic and flavorful without being overly Americanized. The pork curry was absolutely delicious and is definitely a must-order. I also got the tea leaf salad and immediately wished I had ordered the large because you can never have enough tea leaf salad. The palata was a great starter -- flaky, warm, and exactly what you'd want. The miso black cod was another standout. The broth it was simmered in was incredibly flavorful, and the fish was perfectly cooked. The garlic noodles were also done really well with the right noodles and great flavor -- honestly better than some places known specifically for garlic noodles. And of course, the coconut rice is always worth ordering. We skipped dessert since nothing really stood out, but I would love to see them add more traditional Burmese desserts like faluda in the future. Parking wasn't too difficult, especially if you circle around the back neighborhood area. The wait was reasonable, the outdoor patio seating was nice, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving Burmese food.

The fish is consistently fresh, the menu is extensive, and the prices are almost unbelievable. Sashimi around $21, rolls starting at $8--good luck finding that elsewhere without sacrificing quality. This is hands-down one of the most affordable sushi options in town. Favorites you must order: the Anna Roll and the Dragon Roll. Both are excellent every single time. Tempura is solid, crisp, and dependable. Miso soup, however, is skippable--it's not their strong suit. One thing to know going in: food timing can be unpredictable. Sometimes your order comes out in 10 minutes, other times it can take over an hour. Takeout orders clearly drive the kitchen pace, and it's not always obvious how backed up they are. If you're in a rush, keep this in mind. They are cash only, but you do get a 5% discount, which honestly feels fair--and refreshing. Service is mixed. The woman who serves can be curt and a bit impatient if you're taking time with the menu. On the flip side, the man behind the counter has been there for years and genuinely loves the place. He knows the regulars, greets people warmly, and gives the restaurant its soul. King Roll isn't trendy, flashy, or crowded--and that's exactly the appeal. Clean food, great value, and a true local staple. This is the kind of place you end up eating at weekly without even thinking about it. Still one of my all-time favorites.
