This is a neighborhood spot and would be our go to udon noodle restaurant if not for the poor customer service. The service workers and manager do not seem the grasp the concept of creating and executing the elegant tranquilly of a typical Japanese restaurant. The udon or ramen broth are flavorful and the sushi is ok. The environment is pleasing and comfortable, if not for the poor service I would give it a much higher rating. FYI- if you order ramen rather than udon, they tell you about the extra charge for ramen since it was not on the menu when I was there. I did call several times requesting a call back from the owner to share my feedback without a response. So with all the new udon and ramen shops opening and eager for business, we have options. read more

Oyama Sushi - Why bother with the side salad especially in single use plastic. - Japanese Near Me - Greenbrae, California

I order the lion king roll and my salmon wasnt fully baked still kind of raw. That's happened twice now.

I've been hearing a lot about this sushi joint the fast few months. I finally swung by here today for lunch. And I got to say - I really enjoyed my meal. Located in the Bon Air Shopping Center (next door to Peet's Coffee + Mollie Stone's Market), the restaurant itself isn't exactly eye-catching, but the food sure as hell is. I wound up ordering the Jalapeno Popper Rolls (seven spicy tuna rolls topped with spicy white tuna, avocado, jalapeno spicy sauce). This dish is a winner. It might not be the most traditional maki roll, but what do I care? Delicious is as delicious does (or something along those lines... it sounded better in my head). The spiciness of the jalapeno and the creaminess of the avocado paired well with the fresh tuna. We started our lunch with a generous bowl of miso soup and a small salad. The miso was terrific. Not too salty, and plentiful in the tofu department. The salad, on the other hand, was the weak link of the lunch. The dressing (if you want to call it that) left little to be desired. It looked and tasted like drizzled Sriracha sauce. But all in all, this was a satisfying lunch. I certainly didn't walk away hungry. Best of all, I didn't walk away feeling bloated and tired either. The lunch was light and filling at the same time. And for just $13.95, this meal was a steal. I'll certainly be coming back soon to explore more of the menu. read more

So my husband and I have been going to this place once a week since covid hit. It's always been good up until last week when they screwed up our order and made us wait an hour with no apology. I called to complain and the manager was professional by calling back to apologize. We decided to give them another chance so we went today and when I opened my container to eat the toro I ordered this is what I got! Really?? You lost us for good. Terrible service and obviously terrible food. Look at the sloppy, stringy cut of this fish. It's not even edible. Just gross!! read more

Oyama Sushi - So called toro I received for take out - Japanese Near Me - Greenbrae, California

I've ordered takeout through Yelp twice. It was easy and quick. It gave an estimate when my order will be ready so it helped me plan my lunch break. My order was ready in both occasions. I was in and out in less than a minute. I've only ordered the tamago nigiri and super crunchy roll...they were consistently good. Will definitely order again. It's located in the same complex as Mollie's Stones; it's next to Peet's. I even mistakenly entered Peet's on my first visit. read more

For the past 2 years starting with the whole pandemic eat in ordeal we have ordered from Oyama at least once a week because even my 4 and 7 year old are obsessed!!!! Also fresh, made so well, variety, presentation, price, and even through a delivery app it's early and outstanding. We don't even bother going anywhere else. Always nice, we've never had delivery issues and if anything does go wrong they handle it easily. read more

Tasty lunch- bento box attractive and appealing- excellent service - reasonable price

Food very nice. Service wonderful. But...one small carafe of hot sake gave me a hangover and headache to beat all hangovers, which has never happened to me with hot sake. Usual nice ambience was ruined by constant line of take-out orders being picked up. Should have a separate window for this, as restaurant is incredibly small. read more

Yikes! I don't understand why. I just don't. The salad in the lunch special came with dressing on the side but when I picked up a bite I could see that the bottom was sitting in a pool of dressing....? What??? Why???? The Lion King roll was covered in wayyy too much sauce it was actually really gross looking. The flavor might have been good but the sauce was pretty over powering. The pork in the tonkatsu was over cooked also. Sorry, I hate giving bad reviews but I was pretty disappointed. I don't think I'll order again. read more

Give my compliments to the CHEF! This Baked Scallop roll is amazing! I wish i could give it more stars.

the staff is rude and the food isn't fresh wont be back. I've given it multiple tries and it doesn't get any better. they don't need the business and don't care about complaints. read more

Food was great! We thought an order had been missed but turns out it was our mistake and they still handled it professionally and was courteous towards us as uninformed customers. Would go back! Highly recommend! read more

So the quest for our neighborhood sushi spot has been competed. According to Waze, less than 10 min. From the house that is if you don't mind paying the bridge toll and waiting till off hours to venture across. So that we did. Inspire of extensive reworking of the Bonaire shopping center, parking was a snap. We got there about 7:30 and it was packed! But a couple of tables were open as well as 1-2 slots at the bar. We opted for a table. Service fast friendly efficient! Of course I use Yelp photos to guide my choices for specialty rolls. Very important to always name what you photo, so others can enjoy. We ordered 3 rolls off the "Yelp photo menu" referring to the actual menu for more descriptive. We also ordered Poke salad after our roll orders figuring that the artery required to produce the outrageous presentations would take some time considering the number of patrons chowing down. The poke was ok too much sweet sauce which for my taste was ok considering I don't like the slimy salty taste of the seaweed they added along with cucumber and onion. Would not order that again. The rolls were clean and flavorful. All had a Korean flare (spicy & sweet sauces) combined with very fresh and expertly cut fish I know because we saw our dining Neigbors with nigiri style. They came really fast too! Same time our poke came. The rolls are huge!eight or more pieces 3/4 inch each thick. But the rice to protein ratio was great. More veg and protein per bite with the rice being the perfect delivery mechanism. The rice itself sweet mildly salty and vinegary the way it should be with just enough starch to bind it without loosing the tiny bites of individual grains. So you know the sushi Chiefs are good when even Americanized rolls like what we got don't require but a hint of soy and wasabi. That's because the combination of sauces they come with are brilliantly displayed and provide the correct pallets balance along with rice, veg and protein. We looked up, and most of the crowd was gone by 8:30. That along with two bikers who came in to get orders to go may be a good time to try it. We will defiantly be back baring crazy bridge traffic read more

Food was mid, service was worse. Don't come here unless you plan on leaving a 30% tip, I was chased out the door after leaving a 20% tip while being berrated with how cheap I was. I felt insulted, and my children were crying. read more

Very nice waitstaff. But the sushi is subpar. Our $19.00 roll was supposed to include fresh crab, avocado tuna and salmon. 1/2 of the pieces had no tuna on them at all; some had a paper thin piece so tiny it disappeared into the rice below when touched. Exact same thing w the avocado! Three little dabs of tobiko on the whole roll. Smelled very fishy...arrived on a plate decorated w a heavy thick tasteless sauce. Tasteless. Gave 2 stars for the friendly service and pleasant indoor and outdoor spaces. read more

The service was Superb the sushi was terrific. The 2 hand rolls were wonderful as was the Unagi. However, I was really craving some tempura vegetables and these did not satisfy. They were nice and crunchy but the dipping sauce was tasteless and the prawns were " old". I will certainly return to this spot, I'll just not order the Tempura appetizer. Everything else was great read more

ordered a $100 take out in person and was asked to wait outside and it was December. Not impressed and will not be coming back

Best value and honestly it travel well. Other expensive location around us just don't travel well. By travel I mean the take out experience at home is just as yummy as if you were eating it at the restaurant. Not always the case with sushi. read more

Do you like sashimi? Sashimi is just the raw fish - no rice, but you eat it with rice. Usually, you take the fish, dip it in the soy sauce with wasabi, scoop a bit of rice and put it in your mouth - that is how you eat the sashimi. If you like sashimi - run to Oyama Sushi! I swear to everything Holy, they have some of the best sashimi in town, but here's the thing. To be completely honest, it would appear this restaurant site does not know the finer points of Japanese food (like, does it come nigiri-style, with the fish on top with wasabi in the middle, or rolled-style, surrounded by seaweed), these questions will probably stump your waiter or waitress (as it did ours). But if you know your way around Japanese food to begin with, this place has some of the best sashimi around. The restaurant itself is located in the Bon Air mall - is aptly appointed and comes complete with a sushi bar with luscious and ample pieces of fish displayed in a case on the bar. Everything appears as a traditional Japanese restaurant. The sushi rice is okay, not first rate. I've had the tonkatsu ramen which I found to be good, but the noodles would seem to be store bought (not like Top Ramen, but they were not super great), and the taste was just off somehow. The sushi is not super authentic, but rather we found it to be variations of "California rolls" and some cooked and fried varieties. My next trip I'm fixing to try the "saba" (Japanese mackerel), the last time I was there, a Japanese woman from Japan was having it and the size was ample and (although the skin was still on it), she said it was good. As mackerel is hard to prepare (it tends to get oily), I am eager to try it. So yes, I will be back! The fish will keep me coming back! If I were not too familiar with Japanese food, or was looking for recommendations or specialties, I would probably come with someone who knows their way around a Japanese menu. Other than that, I can't complain about the wait staff, they were attentive and we never found ourselves "looking" for help! In the end, stay for the fish - it's outstanding! read more

It was okay. Not great not bad. I got the meal to go and sometimes you have to be weary about placing sushi to go, but the ordering process was seamless and my food was ready upon arrival. I was definitely full after eating this. read more

We love this sushi restaurant. We've never dined in the actual restaurant - we've always opted for take out, but the sushi is consistently amazing. We order it about 2-3x a month through DoorDash. The fish is always fresh, they have a lot of options and it's not crazy overpriced like some other sushi spots. We usually get salmon nigiri and different rolls like dragon, spicy tuna and philly. Everyone is always friendly when we go to pick up our order too. Keep up the good work! read more

Hopefully, the trend of young kids with some money who decide to open a sushi place will end soon. This place has no soul. No depth. In other words, a perfect match for the locals lol. The serving staff is mindless. The prices are too high... too high for what they give you in return (lots of rice and mayo-based drizzle, not a lot of fish), and, too high for where they're located (a strip mall ffs). I've said it in other sushi reviews: if you're gonna charge Sushi Ran prices, you better give Sushi Ran caliber food and service in return. But please. Go here, Marin, and stay the hell away from the good sushi spots. They're starting to get too crowded, especially with loud idiotic kids whose parents have failed to teach them how to behave properly in a restaurant. Dumb breeders gonna breed. But yeah - Oy-vey-ama. read more

So I live nearby and I frequent Bon Aire but have refused to try this place for no real reason. Well let me tell you I have been missing out! I ordered from here during the shelter in place based upon a friend's recommendation. They have an intriguing menu even if their online interface is limited. The actual ordering/ paying/ pickup was extremely organized, hygienic and efficient. When I got home was the real surprise and great! Incredible sushi, generous potions, beautiful presentation all at very reasonable prices. I have already gone back a few times and am now a regular. read more

This sushi place was so disgusting. I had a roll that was not even edible. The pieces were were cut so big and the soft shell crab was fried so hard that it crumbled. The sauce that was drizzled on top tasted like ketchup. This definitely wasn't authentic sushi. read more

Not wanting to be critival but their Spider Roll (Soft Shell Crab Roll) was NOT good at all. The crab had no substance and the breading was not the quality Japanese Panko I am used to at most good sushi restaraunts. Additionally the crab was way over fried and all you could taste was the burnt flavor of the way over fryed breading. Basically uneatable, very disappointed for $13.95. read more

Came here with the family for dinner. Our kids loved their seaweed salad and udon. Husband enjoyed barbecue eel. I had the delicious seafood salad, small on the surface but packed with pieces of raw fish and an amazing flavor. mochi ice-cream for desert was a nice finish for the wonderful dinner. We'll definitely be back to this neighborhood gem! read more

Food is always amazing & it come so quick!!! I try new things sometimes and they don't disappoint. I'm excited to try their ramen soon! They have usually only had the big U noodles. Anywho they never disappoint, ever and I've been ordering for about 10 years now. Thanks Oyama ! read more

Service is terrible. Staff is rude. Food is mediocre at best and not always fresh. Hit or miss. Won't be back.

Review #100! Let's do this. I made my way over here because I've heard good things about this spot since it's opening not long ago. It's a very casual place located inside a shopping mall, so I would say it best serves as a place to go for a quick fix of sushi. The service was super fast, and while that's generally a good thing, I wouldn't suggest coming here for any special occasion, because you may find that you'll be done with your meal in about 15-20 minutes. I will say one thing: for a place in a mall with such a relaxed vibe, the fish they serve up here is fantastic. While it may not be a top flight, fancy sushi stop, it's a damn good one that really gives you amazing value for the price. These guys have a large menu. There's no doubt that anyone can find something to eat here. If you aren't big on sushi but love chicken, you'll highly enjoy their teriyaki chicken plate with rice. On my recent visit, the highlight had to be the 10 piece Sashimi plate. It's $20 for 10 pieces and you get to mix up and pick any fish you'd like (white tuna, hamachi, salmon, eel, etc) and it was delicious. Plus, it's a bang for your buck deal. I also have to give huge props to the chefs here for thier presentation of the food. It's stunning. Actually, that doesn't even do it justice, you'd truly have to see it in person to understand. I don't think I've been to a sushi joint at a mall quite as good as this one. The execution, service and taste is all there. It's a trifecta of awesomeness. Well worth a visit. Enjoy :) read more

I must be spoiled because I didn't find this to be a 5 star experience. I love sushi and go out quite frequently for it; so I was excited to try out the new place and see what the hype is about. It left me feeling meh overall. I took my grandma for Mother's Day with my aunt and we rolled in for lunch with no reservation. Not a problem, got a table in front and explored the menu. My grams got a bento box which she seemed to enjoy, but there wasn't any raving about how delicious it was. My aunt and I noshed on some rolls. I ordered the poki roll with spicy tuna and wakame salad. I also ordered a salmon skin roll which was later replaced with a spicy scallop roll. The salmon skin roll is served tempura style but not listed on the menu as such, FYI. Unusual in my book, but apparently normal for them. Takes away from the integrity of the salmon skin for me and felt like false advertising- anything is crispy when you throw batter on and fry it. The other two rolls I tried were good. Not stand out amazing as some other places I've experienced, but not overall disappointing. The flavors were good but I couldn't tell you know any distinguishing flavors that stood out and it's only been a few days since my visit. Miso soup was flavorful and delicious. I think for me it was the star of the day. A little salty but in a good way. I can't say I'll rush back as service was slow, no one offered to refill drinks we had to flag down for this request. Server was willing to fix the salmon skin roll issue when it came tempura style but was a little argumentative at first before being willing to correct the roll or order something new. read more

Oyama is both delicious and reliable - everything you could want from a to-go spot on a busy weekday. I order takeout from Oyama at least twice a month and the service is always prompt. The lion king and As rolls are my favorite and my boyfriend always gets the sushi and sashimi dinner. Their miso soup is also super good. Highly recommend! read more

I was completely blown away by the quality of this place. The service was friendly and fast, the presentation was beautiful, and the food was out of this world good. FINALLY, a great Japanese restaurant in Bon Air Center. The only con is that the decor is a bit lackluster, but trust me you won't be spending much time looking at the walls. read more

I wish this place was better. It's so close to being great. The problem is the lack of skill by the sushi chefs--they are not Japanese-trained chefs so fish is sometimes cut a bit weird and the rice is sometimes undercooked. They also call butterfish (also known as escolar) "Super-white tuna" on their menu, which is so bogus/fraudulent. Their hamachi kamas are solid and fried stuff is decent. Prices are too high for what this place delivers. read more

Genuinely do not understand how this place doesn't have 5 stars. I've been coming here for 4 years and it's always fantastic. Food is super fast, easy to order online. Eating in the restaurant is an experience I can live without, but it's convenient and they have outdoor seating. Best maki in Marin. read more
