Decided to try something more basic and got a three-item bento box for lunch. I usually prefer…read morefusion rolls and nigiri, but wanted to mix it up. The bento box consisted of the following (alongside the salad, soup, and rice): - California roll: not the best ever, but not bad - Chicken teriyaki: I never order this at restaurants, so it was kind of fun to try - Gyoza: the gyoza was fine, but the sauce was not gyoza sauce. It was super sweet. The service is always good and the staff is always very nice.

Finally got to try out Sushi Broadway…read more I used to come here for many years when Kamakura was here. For the non-Alamedans, and tech bro transplants, Kamakura was pretty much an institution in Alameda that was here for decades, and had a very loyal following. The owner was a sweet lady who was ever-present at the restaurant, even at a very advanced age. I think Kamakura was actually one of the first restaurants I experienced when I came to the U.S. as a child, and certainly the first time I tried Japanese food, which remains one of my very favorite cuisines. After Kamakura closed, the place sat vacant so long (thank you, ridiculous Alameda real estate prices and permitting requirements), that I was beginning to wonder if this location would ever be brought back to life again. Then, at last, a new sushi establishment called Sushi Broadway opened. I have no idea if there is any relation whatsoever to the former Kamakura. The interior has been extensively renovated; it looks brand new and still has a hint of that fresh-paint smell. On a Sunday evening, the dining room was more than half-occupied, which is a good sign. We perused the menu, and settled on the Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel) entree, and the Double Sake Roll to share. The saba also comes with soup and salad, so it was more than enough for a full meal for the two of us. Prices for rolls and entrees are totally reasonable, but if you want straight sashimi, it is pricier, and I've noticed sashimi has gone up in price everywhere, so certainly not limited to here. And that's ok; would you want to roll the dice with cheap raw fish? I think not. Service was very nice and hospitable. Attentive but not overbearing. We were never rushed, which I appreciate. After our meal, we received a complementary pour of plum wine, which was nice, and Kamakura used to have this tradition of hospitality as well. We will return, and I'll probably have more to add after our next visit.

Stopped in quickly for dinner and was very impressed! Beautiful ambience, great service, and the…read morefood was amazing! Definitely coming back to try their bento box next time! (:

This restaurant is located on a busy street in Alameda where parking is extremely limited. We like…read moreto try to find something near residential and walk, but even then it can get frustrating to find a parking spot. Once you walk into the restaurant, there's indoor and outdoor seating available. The outdoor seating is covered by a patio, and on colder days, I'm assuming they will put a heater out there? I'm not too sure, since I don't actually eat outside often. Indoor is well lit up, and has a decent amount of seating. The biggest table I have seen seats around 6 people, but can be more if you have small children I suppose. We mostly order the rolls here, and to be fair, it's a decent pricing. However, it is a hit or miss. 1. Lion King - Decent. Taste all the same everywhere you go if you ask me. 2. Deep Fried Spicy Tuna - Must have, definitely my favorite. 3. Golden Gate - More on the saucy side with imitation crab meat, it's basic. 4. Dragon Roll - Again, same anywhere you go. 5. Double Salmon Roll - Salmon on the inside, salmon on the outside. Cheaper alternative than to just getting nigiri or salmon sashimi. The customer service here is not the best in my opinion. The first time we took a friend there for his birthday, and it was terrible. The host, waiter/server, and manager disregarded us. However, a table next to us got the friendliest treatment. The type of treatment you give when you expect them to come back so you can address them by their name. The second time we've been here, the customer service was basic. No expectations, just take your order, serve, and a simple question of how is everything. Honestly, customer service could have been much more reasonable at even the most basic level. Overall, the food is ok. I wouldn't say it's like the best, but if you're here for lunch or a quick bite, it's fine.

I travel to Alameda a couple times each summer to manage sailboat races. Tonight I was in the mood for sushi, so I went to Hashi Gawa and I am glad I did. Now I'm an old curmudgeon, so I don't like menus on a tablet, but in this case I fully understand. Their selection of out of the norm fish is excellent. The quality of their fish is excellent. The service from their wait staff was over the top. Prices were very reasonable. I have to come back to Alameda next month to manage another regatta and will definitely be coming back here.

I found this place on Yelp about a year ago and have been meaning to try this place. Street parking…read morealways scares me especially during the weekend but luckily I had a Monday off and was able to find parking right across the street. It's a cute little spot and aesthetically pleasing. I believe it's a kitchen hall where multiple restaurants are combined into one? You're able to order curry, dim sum, Japanese sandwiches, bento boxes, etc in one spot. Theres indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and were seated where the cushion chairs were. Then we scanned a QR code on the table and started a group order/tab. I was looking for some comfort food during these gloomy days so I ordered the Japanese curry with katsu which came with miso soup. Our food was served through a robot was pretty cool! The curry was good! My total for two curries with katsu, including tax and tip came out to be about $50. I'm rating this place a 3.5 due to our table not being wiped down prior to being seated, there were crumbs on it and our server just picked some of it up but did not wipe down the table. Other cushion seat tables were also not wiped down and the cushion seats had crumbs and stains on them. A family came in and their high top table was wiped down . We also didn't have any napkins in our holder so I did have to get up and grab it from another table. But I would come back and try this place again, maybe during the weekend.

Delicious food and great service. I don't know how we've missed this place in all the times we've…read morevisited alameda, but is definitely going to be on our weekly rotation. We got the curry rice with chicken katsu and the tempura udon. The portions are huge -- especially the curry. You could feed at least two with the meal we were served.

When I walked in they have a kiosk to put yourself on the reserve list for seating . Lucky for us it wasn't crowded so we were seated immediately. Inside is big and roomy so you can definitely bring a large party here or just a date night . Our waiter was very nice plus all the staff were accommodating. I always get sashimi but I got to have my uni ( sea urchin ) craving knocked out ! They were plump and sweet but still had that fresh ocean taste omg ! Amazing . Salmon sashimi was nice thick cuts and melted like butter . For the roll the waiter recommended the island roll and it was pretty good ! I also got oysters ( kinda on the smaller side ) but still were fresh and the sauce they give to go with it was a nice touch . We also got the chicken teriyaki sushi combo which comes with Cali rolls and nigiri . The cuts on the nigiri were big as well ( but didn't taste as fresh as the salmon nigiri ) and they were gracious with the amount of tobiko they top the Rolls with . miso soup and salad was good . Overall I would definitely come back to try other rolls they have a lot of speciality rolls ! And if you like uni like me , definitely they got you covered !

Once seated, you'll get served either tea or water. The staff were nice and efficient with seating and taking orders. We ordered: - grilled whole squid: such a great appetizer! The presentation was nice, highlighting the shape of the whole squid. The squid was cooked perf with a chewy texture. Also, it had an aromatic charred flavor but was not burnt at all! The dipping sauce was a slightly sour vinegar, but it goes well with soy sauce also. - black dragon: contains tempura shrimp, cucumber top w/unagi, avocado. The cucumbers and avocados were fresh with the cucumber and tempura shrimp adding a nice crunchy flavor. - orange blossom: contains tuna, avocado, salmon, tobiko. The presentation was unique and the sushi was held up well with the salmon wrapped on the outside. Very generous and thick slices of salmon! - lion king: contains imitation crab, cucumber, top baked salmon, unagi sauce, mayo, tobiko. A classic option that you can't go wrong with! The sauce was just enough since I usually prefer when the roll is not drenched in sauce and you can taste the salmon. Overall, this sushi spot is my go to in the area!

Tl;Dr - Decent sushi in an otherwise non-sushi heavy town. Decent Japanese options, humble service,…read moreoverall pretty good if you in town for an evening. So admittedly I came here twice by accident because I forgot being here the first time. My wife and I will come into town there and again to hang out in Alameda and when we do, this is one of the better restaurants in town. Seems to me its a family operation, service is warm and friendly. Ambiance is laid back, cafe style. The menu has all the typical fare, I got the teryaki salmon meal both times and it was pretty good. Could use a little more sauce but you can always ask and I'm sure they'd be happy to provide at no charge. Also got the salmon collar which was particularly good. Prices are a little high for the area, but I would expect that given there's not a lot of sushi around, so they deserve the bump. 10$/nigiri though on some salmon is a *sconch* too high, they should do this a bit smarter. Only big things for me is just keep the hot sake HOT, it was mildly warm when I got mine, but this a common gripe I say about tons of places so not really gonna make a big deal about it. I'm on a mission to get house hot sake hotter across these lands. All in all, comparatively its great for Alameda, but would not stack up at these prices anywhere in Oakland, or SF. An excellent option of convenience if you don't feel like traveling.
