    Sake Don
    Emmeline W.

    Don't sleep on this spot!!! Small local corner shop with biiiiig flavor. My partner and I were lucky to find Khatan on Yelp while browsing Japanese spots we had yet to visit. The space is very cozy, quiet, almost unassuming. For a Saturday evening, there were only 3-4 parties around us. I was relieved as some of our favorite sushi spots in this area tend to require reservations. We were welcomed graciously and were happy to hear the staff's recommendations. SALMON SPECIAL: !!! Pretty unique! I loved the beet-marinated salmon, this was nice and sweet. The green curry was interesting, though outshone by the former. TUNA TATAKI: A LOT of topping for a tataki...! Like overflowing! I liked it ^_^ But a lot of onion and texture. I mainly was curious towards the ponzu soy mayo, which didn't fail to be bright and flavorful. BACON OF THE SEA: My partner is the BIGGEST fan of salmon skin so this was a must-have. SO good. Crispy outside, tender inside, plus all the fatty goodness throughout. SAKE DON: Supa fresh!! With thick cuts. The rice is seasoned well, not too sour. I could've done without the lemon slices, but it might be someone else's cup of tea. Overall, pretty solid sake don :3 We got lucky with parking and found a spot across the street... But I'd come a bit earlier to scout out the area if you've driving.

    NEXT UP AND COMING SUSHI RESTAURANT If you have not been to Khatan Sushi in Oakland, let me be the one to tell you that you should add it to your list immediately. This restaurant delivers an elevated yet comforting dining experience that feels both special and effortlessly cool at the same time. We started with the Mongolian Beef Dumplings and they were surprising in the best way possible. Perfectly pan fried, juicy, flavorful, and truly one of those dishes you instantly consider ordering again. It has some of those juices from an XLB dumpling The Wakame Salad was fresh and vibrant, and the chirasi Bowl was delicious. The layers of flavor and the mix of textures created something memorable that I would absolutely return for. The tuna tataki was ridiculous. It was tender in a way that felt almost unreal and the light smoky sear created the perfect balance without overwhelming the delicacy of the fish. We ordered the Catan Roll along with another roll that I unfortunately cannot remember the name of, but trust me when I say a new staple in your die. Each roll was beautifully presented, creative without being overly fussy, and packed with flavor in every bite. It felt healthy. The service truly elevated the night. The woman helping us carried herself with a posture of elegance and grace that matched the environment perfectly. She was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive without hovering. Her subtle presence made us feel comfortable and taken care of which contributed to the relaxed and beautiful dining experience. Khatan Sushi achieves that rare combination of impeccable food, serene ambiance, and outstanding service. Dining here felt like having exceptional food in a peaceful and inviting space that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Oakland has a gem and I will definitely be returning.

    Tuna Tataki
    Gregory C.

    Visiting town for work and was craving sushi. This place was not too far from my hotel. I decided to give it a try and really enjoyed it. My favorite was the Tuna Tataki and the rainbow roll, which was real crab and avocado topped with salmon, maguro and Hamachi. I made a reservation and was able to sit pretty quickly. It's not a big restaurant so a reservation is definitely recommended. They do have four seats at the sushi bar but mostly dining room seating. I plan to come back !

    I really wanted to like this place but it just wasn't my favorite. Seating is comfortable but maybe cause it was hot outside, we had to keep swatting small flies away while we were eating. Other than that, it's solid if you want to crave your sushi craving but may not be the most prime sushi you've had. They do give you a good portion for the tempera. The sauce is good but also the fry was not my favorite either.

    Chicken karage and brussel sprouts

    This place is so cute!! I loved everything I ordered and the staff was super attentive. Will def come again(: Lychee lemonade - 10/10 i added iced tea to it also it's more on the tart side Mongolian dumpling - 10/10 it's almost like a big soup dumpling - chewier with more meat Chirashi bowl - 8/10 everything went well together and tasted fresh, three varieties of fish, rice was really good with a sauce Cherry blossom roll - 8/10 not your typical cherry blossom it had fried shallots and a sauce Spicy miso cucumber - 10/10 sauce was really tasty Brussels sprouts and karage - 9/10 it's a gigantic serving lol the chicken was super crispy

    Yakitori
    Jenny N.

    Friendly service and cute decor! Yakitori- I really liked the sauce! Chicken wasn't overcooked and the veggies were lovely. Partner had the chirashi - he liked it~ Omakase had some fun pieces like the salmon marinated in beet juice! Quality was decent and cute serving spoons for the sashimi Matcha tres leche - not too sweet :) fun take on it but wasn't my thing but my partner really liked it. Bathrooms in the back to the left. Street parking in downtown, can be easy or hard depending on when you go. Reservations are welcome online~

    We visited for our first time and we loved everything about it! The vibes are incredible. The fish is so fresh and we did not have a single dish we did not love. We loved all the small details. The owners are so sweet and kind. We will definitely bring our family and friends here.

    Omakase with added toro. Every bit as delicious as it looks.
    Miguel L.

    Turns out there are now two great sushi spots downtown. Ordered the nigiri omakase with the added toro, had a spot of green tea on an exceptionally windy and wet day, and watched the people go by as I enjoyed my assortment of sushi. Rice was good, not dry, and the fish was fresh, flavorful, and appropriately tender. Service was nice, my server told me what everything on the platter was, some of which I retained! Presentation was lovely. Inside was nice, playlist was the usual "hip hop jams to study to" that seems to be pervasive everywhere. I'd come back and try some particularly enticing sounding rolls (bacon of the sea featuring salmon skin, cue Homer drool noise).

    Stahhhhp...omakase for under $50 and delectable rolls with fresh sushi atop rolls in bite sized perfection. Loved everything from the time we parked our car -- plenty of parking in the neighborhood, and we walked over and entered and the sweet melody of Jhene Aiko was coming through the speakers. I knew it was going to be a good night. The server did a great job of letting us know of tonight's specials. We opted for the omakase, rainbow roll, and Godzilla roll. I loved each morsel and was only disappointed in myself for not being able to fit anymore food in my stomach after a starter of sunomono salad and yakitori and the two rolls. My husband enjoyed the diversity of flavors. Arigato gozaimasu to the chef -- will tell our friends and family to come check yall out for sure!

    Chirashi bowl.

    They have good night sushi. The rolls are Small and too saucy. The sirashi bowl is my favorite.

    Agedashi tofu
    Ashley T.

    The place is super cute, ambiance was great, and the lady that helped us was really nice and very attentive. The food tho was a bit disappointing. We got the agedashi tofu was hard and not soft. Next we got the grilled mackerel and that was ok I just wished they didn't mix balsamic vinegar and fish. It didn't mix very well. The omakase set was a very good price, but the only one that tasted good was the tuna and the sake salmon. Everything else was interesting. The mackerel nigiri was the worst. I wasn't sure what was going on and the fish didn't seem ok. As it just mushed in my mouth. My partner and I love omakases so we were a bit disappointing. I would say if you're there for like an American style sushi I think you might enjoy it more, but as we are more into the omakase style it didn't suit our taste. We don't see ourselves coming back unfortunately.

    Happy that there's a sushi restaurant that serves affordable omakase walking distance from me in downtown Oakland. I ordered the 10pc omakase which was only $49, and came with some premium bites like hotate scallop and toro. The most unique bite for me was the beet cured salmon, vibrant color but you can actually taste the beet flavor as well. Highly recommend if you want to scratch that itch for some premium sushi on this side of the bay.

The lighting is dim, providing a more elevated atmosphere. We came during lunch and surprising there was only 1 other guest there at the time. The staff seated us right away and we were able to order within a few minutes. The menu has a great assortment of sushi, bento boxes and more so if you're in a larger group, there is something for everyone. As a group of 3, my friends and I decided to split the meal family style and ordered bento boxes and a few rolls. The food came out within just a few minutes. The rolls are visually appealing and very appetizing. They held together nicely, although the spicy scallop roll was falling apart - however I do think scallop is trickier to work with so I didn't mind it. The bento boxes offered a great quantity of food for the price, so it was worth it! What stood out to me was the crisp texture of the tempura and katsu - only callout here is that the katsu was cut into thinner slices which you might not prefer if you like thicker slices. Overall, I'm glad I found this gem and I'm looking forward to a future visit!

I would like to thank our server, Noah, for his helpfulness in choosing our dishes and for the prompt service. I highly recommend it!

    Unfortunately no photos as we devoured the food! However here is my review otherwise:…read more 1. Location- easily accesible in off Piedmont Ave, found parking alongside an adjacent neighborhood street that was free. I went around 430pm on a weekday. 2. Staff/Vibe- very friendly and throughout the service so many stopped by to check-in. Waters were constantly topped off and food was delivered very promptly. The restaurant itself is very intimate and tabletop dividers are largely used to shared tables. It was a really nice approach. I wasn't a major fan of the chairs for the tall tables. I was hoping for some more ergonomically friendly. Food- SIGNATURE RAMEN- 5/5. So good. The broth was so good I think I drank it all before eating any ramen and toppings. It was a wonderfully hearty ramen with a balance of fresh and simple ingredients. This was perfect and allowed the delicious broth to really be the star. LAMB RAMEN. 5/5. If you like south indian curries then this is a must. The dense cumin taste, fresh onions and lamb made this ramen feel very familiar. The flavours were so wonderfully constructed on this. VEGAN KAARAGE MUSHROOM. Made to be reminiscent of fried chicken, these were very pleasant and paired with our broth. I would order this again. I am interested in knowing the preparation method for this as the inside was piping hot while the outside was just warm- almost like it was reheated. I would like these to be crispier with a bit more light seasoning. Overall looking forward to the next visit!

Decent wine selection - Chardonnay was good. Restaurant itself is fairly loud, especially with a baby that kept crying. But it might have been crying because it was loud. Owners should consider the Constellation System by Meyer Sound to make the dining experience more enjoyable for patrons.

Food (4 stars) + Ribeye teriyaki was a hit--tender, cooked to perfection, and the kids loved it! + Lamb chop was a standout--one piece, but perfectly grilled, juicy, and tender. I could eat 2 of these with a bowl of rice and it would be a hearty meal! + Chicken karaage was solid--crispy, good portion, and a nice appetizer. It's basically a Japanese version of chicken strips that is way better than nuggets. + Salmon sashimi for the kids never disappoints. ~ Chirashi bowl was fresh and filling, though standard compared to other spots. There was a lot of rice which if we knew that we probably would've skipped the extra bowl I ordered to eat with my lamb chops. For the somewhat premium pricing, I wish they provided fresh chopped wasabi. ~ Stuffed mushroom skewer was just okay--tasty but nothing special. I guess for mushrooms it does taste kinda like a chicken meatball which could be a good thing. Service/Ambiance (4 stars) + Attentive and thoughtful service, especially accommodating a broken foot. They let my family wait at the bar instead of standing. + Ambiance is that classic Japanese vibe, busy but comfortable. Maybe not high-end, but definitely a place that feels special--especially now that we can afford it!
