    Stumbled in for a quick lunch and fell in love with Mujiri!! We were recommended the nigiri combo, which is such a bang for your buck! You get to choose seven different fish, and it comes out so beautifully. I wasn't expecting much, but the fish was so fresh and so soft that it really surprised me. We also ordered the mackerel nigiri, Uni nigiri, and toro roll and absolutely loved everything. They really put the quality and care into the food! The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate with limited seating. Parking is easy with street parking and lots nearby. Servers are also very friendly and attentive!

    A hidden-gem in downtown Hayward! Mujiri serves Edomae-style nigiri in their small establishment, dishing out beautiful sets with fresh fish. Very small restaurant, definitely recommend making a reservation just in case. The nigiri combo is the way to go, you get to choose from 7 different pieces (no repeats allowed) and there may even be specials that day offering high-end fish that can typically be seen at pricey omakase places. Worth a stop or take-out if you're craving nigiri!

    Ok, Hayward. I see you. Came here hungry and got the nigiri combo with chef choice rolls and chawanmushi. Both were excellent! I usually would get sashimi but I heard their rice is really good so got the nigiri and it didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and so flavorful, I didn't want to put any soy sauce. The chawanmushi was perfect as well. Although, I didn't leave completely stuffed, I was satisfied and I will definitely need to come back. Ambiance is unassuming. It's very small and easy to miss. Lots of parking across the street.

    Ordered some fresh sushi takeout from Mujiri. The packaging was so artsy and unique (video/pictures attached). The maki rolls were fresh and they did not skimp on the fish. We got the spicy sake maki and salmon&shisho hosimaki rolls. Both were delicious and fresh. Cannot comment on the service or ambience as we got takeout. Highly recommend !

    Mujiri is a must-visit and such a great spot to bring friends for fresh, mouthwatering nigiri combos and rolls. Parking can be tough but I always park across the street in the parking lot (which can fill up quick). I always order the Nigiri Combo, which is now $32. I remember when it was $25, but honestly, it's still worth the extra $7+ for the quality you're getting. I alone can get full off the Nigiri Combo but I recommend ordering the any one of the Ala Carte Maki Rolls like the Spicy Sake Roll. The nigiri is so so delicious on its own, you don't even need to dip it in soy sauce. The staff are always friendly and will explain each fish, which I really appreciate. The interior is cozy and intimate, seating is limited. If you're planning to eat inside, I definitely recommend making a reservation in case. I've come in during lunch for one person and seating can fill up.

    I always have a great experience ordering from Mujiri. The fish is always super fresh and you can really taste the quality. This time we got the 7 nigiri box and it was such a great mix of fish. Everything was so good! The restaurant itself is really charming and cozy too. I can't wait to come back and dine in next time!

    This is our favorite nigiri place! Really can't beat $28 nigiri combo that delivers quality. While seating is limited in the Hayward location, we usually come early and can get a seat. Seems like reservations are available. Definitely come in groups smaller than 4 as this place really doesn't have tables to host groups of 4 and more unless you want to all sit in a line at the counter.

    I had this place bookmarked for awhile, so I was glad that I finally got a chance to try Mujiri. The restaurant is charming, intimate, and cozy. Several tables and seating at the sushi bar. Not a good place for a party larger than 6. Soft house music is playing throughout the restaurant. One unisex restroom only. Chawanmushi: Japanese steamed egg served in a cup. Mixture flavor of dashi and house soy sauce. Contains shrimp and REAL crabmeat, chives, and topped with ikura. Nigiri Combo: chef's choice or your choice of 7 different fishes (they cannot be duplicate). Maguro (big eye tuna), Hamachi (yellowtail), Sake (salmon), Hotate (Hokkaido scallop), Umi Masu (ocean trout), Iwana (artic char), Toro (fatty bluefin tuna). It also comes with 1 chef's choice hosomaki. The fish was fresh on their house-flavored infused rice. The nigiri is on the smaller side. The service was attentive, polite, and nice. Support your local business. BTW, this was my 2000th review!

    Santa Barbara Uni Nigiri and Iwana(岩魚) Nigiri
    Martin H.

    Pro Tip: The Nigiri Combo is the best bang for your buck. If it's your first time dining in or taking out, definitely go straight for this and order the following: 1. Sake (Salmon) 2. Hamachi (Yellowtail) 3. Iwana (Artic Char) 4. Umi Masu (Ocean Trout) 5. Kanpachi (Amberjack) 6. Kurodai (Black Snapper) 7. Toro (Bluefin Fatty Tuna) These are the best options without any additional costs. If you want to get anything from the additional menu I would swap out the Toro for the Santa Barbara Uni or the Hokkaido Uni because those sourced fresh here and are bomb. Also please stop asking if there are baked rolls here. They do not serve anything baked and this may not be the place to bring your kids or friends who aren't familiar with raw fish.

    Up ahead, very small shop next to wheel xperts

    Yes it's good. Yes it's fresh. Yes the take out box is fancy. It's one of two take out sushi I have thus far experienced serving their sushi rice similar to fancy omakase joints. HOWEVER, I did not appreciate how they gave me a salmon bomb literally. I intentionally ordered the salmon and shiso hosomaki separately based on the pictures and the hope they'll serve my favorite negi roll with the nigiri set. Thus, I intentionally did not select the saki/salmon nigiri since I thought I was reducing the chances of a salmon bomb on my plate. Boy, was I wrong. Therefore a major one star deduction for the lack of even trying to provide the customer with the chance of tasting a variety of fishes and flavors. I wanted to give three stars but I resisted. Brownie points for not giving ultra neon green wasabi. The server looked as if he was in ordinary clothing so I totally mistook him as a customer. Sketchy area. Super sketchy and very heavy door with lights as their sign (inside the window to the right) but when I went/when I drove by it wasn't turned on nor the open sign. I saw a white paper posted and I thought they relocated or something so I kept driving but grrrr you can't turn right after you see the wheel/mechanics shop on your right. But thankfully I saw street parking up ahead. If you're coming from the A street direction, Google maps will say "Montgomery Ave" but it's actually "Montgomery Street." 100% street parking. Will I come back? I would but I definitely will never order a separate side of any hosomaki roll ever again. And to anyone and everyone reading this, I highly recommend against ordering one too as you might risk the chance of them misunderstanding that's the type of fish you enjoy and therefore resulting as a bomb of it too on your plate. Very simple menu of nigiri, sashimi, hosomaki rolls, spicy rolls, and beverages.

    Love this Moshi Yuzu sparkling drink
    Nikkomae S.

    I love mujiri. This will be the second time I've visited this restaurant. I walked in without any reservation since I'm only by myself. If you have a group of more than 3 or 4 people I would definitely make reservation. I arrived right when they opened so no wait for me. I got my usual with some other addition to it since I was hungry. I always order the yuzu sparkling soda, that is my favorite. I then ordered the Nigiri Combo was amazing as always. The fish here is not overwhelmingly huge and it is fresh. It is very tasty. When you don't need soy sauce for your sushi, it's usually because the fish is of good quality. I ordered the squid ala carte and hamachi I believe. Both items were so good. Very good quality fish. For dessert the matcha cheesecake was really good and I had it with the green tea. I've enjoyed mujiri everytime I go there. I highly recommend them and their chefs are all amazing. Shout out to this crew.

    Visiting and had to stop by my favorite sushi place. Still the freshest sushi I've had outside of Japan! Great service and traditional style sushi bar. I even introduced this place to a couple of friends. So, if you love sushi, I definitely recommend this place!

The mango and other ingredients didn't pack as much flavor as I hoped, so this roll was only decent. - Deluxue hand roll: I didn't love the fish in this roll, so 5/10.
