Baby friendly and high chair available. Staff over July 4th weekend was great and accommodating. The beef skewer yakitori was the best I have ever had, perfectly cooked with juicy tenderness. I also loved the fresh Omakase sushi and the sake uni oyake don. Every bite was so good with perfect uni and rice. Parking was easy in a large parking lot and side street parking is plentiful.
This little gem is definitely worth every penny. Our party of 4 chose the tatami seating (traditional Japanese) which comes with a minimum spending amount of $200. Easily got that handled. We were served by Alan and his team: Henry and Christine. Service was one of the best I've had in the Bay Area. He went above and beyond. Our meal was nothing short of perfect. Every dish came out quickly and we didn't leave a bite behind.
This place is so yummy! Ordered some rolls, sashimi and yakitori. We booked a private room ( 6 people, price minimum, gratuity included ) . The room was so nice and it's nice to take your shoes off! Food was delicious and prices seem reasonable. The only thing was that service seemed slow ( not sure if it was just the day). My faves were the salmon crunchy and volcano. Would recommend for a delicious sushi spot!
We got the sushi omakase (this is nigiri) and the sashimi omakase, and I think it was good - but certainly not great value. It's strange that, if you prefer nigiri over sashimi and want the rice - the sushi omakase option is significantly less food than the samshimi omakase option. The portions were not particularly generous, and the chosen fish did not exactly feel premium. I think the only standout was the tuna belly. It is also a little upsetting that the staff does not tell you what fish the chef has chosen for omakase. So, if you did like a fish, you wouldn't really know what was what. However, it is a nice spot so the ambiance earns it some points.
Tucked inside a small strip mall, this Japanese restaurant is such a gem. Street parking is usually easy, service is quick, and the food always hits the spot. Their sashimi is super fresh, and the rolls are consistently delicious -- the Rantei Roll and Mango Spider Roll are our favorites. We also love their Katsu Chicken Curry, which comes with a crisp salad topped with creamy dressing and a comforting bowl of miso soup. Simple, satisfying, and always worth the visit.
Food: A few things fell short for me. They don't offer draft beer, and the beer glass wasn't chilled. The ankimo was on the salty side, soaked in soy sauce and the portion felt small for the price. The fried oysters were also quite small and mostly batter. Another disappointment was the omakase experience--it was served all at once rather than piece by piece, which took away from the traditional experience for me. I probably wouldn't order the omakase again. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the appetizers. The sushi and sashimi, however, were a different story. It was my first time trying ruby fish, and I really enjoyed it--it was soft, buttery, and packed with umami. The engawa, kanpachi, and hamachi were all fresh. The uni was also fresh, making it one of the highlights of the meal. Ambience: The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, with Japanese music playing in the background that adds nicely to the dining experience. Service: Service was excellent throughout the meal. The staff was attentive, refilling drinks without being asked and promptly clearing used napkins and plates. Small details like that made the experience feel polished and well cared for. Overall: While the appetizers were underwhelming, the quality and freshness of the fish, along with the attentive service, made the meal enjoyable. I'd return primarily for the sashimi and sushi selections, which were the clear standouts of the evening.
Been wanting to try this place for a very long time and finally made it out. The place is quite the cute and nice vibe with very friendly service. I think the servers checked everytime we used our napkin to replace it. The food is really good too possibly the best roll I've had in the bay area. The price is not cute however but compared to other places to get sushi rolls I might just prefer here!
Can't believe I waited 3 years to come here . I've always had it bookmarked but didn't want to go in the beginning because of the absurd wait times . Flashback to a random Wednesday evening the Husbie asked me what I wanted to eat & of course it's sushi !! We had a table for 2 + baby . They sat us at the bar & we made it work . We ordered the soft shell crab appetizer , the Kaisen Don & the Omakase sashimi set . Soft shell crab : It was perfectly fried and it was super crunchy and fresh . The sauce was okay . I wish they had a better sauce but the crab tasted great . 4/5 Kaisen Don $63.95 : Uni , scallop, Blue Fin Toro, crab , Ikura over rice . Myyy gooddddd this was super divine . Everything literally tasted so fresh and the briney pops of ikura with the creamy uni , scallops were so good . The blue fin toro was like buttery silk !! This was a no brainer . 5/5 Omakase Sashimi special $63.95 : Chefs choice of special fish (16 pcs ) comes with a mini ikura don . This was definitely a must . All the fish tasted super fresh and a great value for everything that's in the box. A MUST . 5/5 Can't wait to come back and try other items on their menu !
I think this is a solid place for sushi rolls! We were seated pretty quick on a Friday around 8:30pm. I got the Victoria roll because I loveeee spicy tuna. It was really good and fresh tasting! The agedashi tofu sauce was amazing. It didn't have the mochi texture that I've tried from other places but it was still great to try. We sat at the bar which was a chill experience. The service was really quick!!!
Came her on a weeknight. No wait but quite busy. The batter for the veggie tempura was good. Mango spider roll was great. The Omakase sashimi was $64 for 16 fish. So $4 per fish prefer much. Very reasonable pricing and everything tasted very fresh. The only complaint I have is - we asked the server for more fresh wasabi (look at the photo, it barely came with any wasabi for 14 pieces of fish !! ) and he didn't inform us that it would have cost extra. I hate it when restaurants aren't transparent with their customers up front. So if you use a normal about of fresh wasabi when you eat sashimi, be prepared to pay $3.95 for extra fresh wasabi because they are stingy with the fresh wasabi.
Long lines either means overhyped or truly good!! Glad to announce that this restaurant is the result of the latter Food quality - I give a 5/5, all of the fish, katsu and even down to the ginger was superb and fresh quality. I truly had no complaints about any of the food. The crunchy salmon roll was my favorite - please give me 10 of those. They did not hold back on the quantity of crunchy tempura flakes. Inside, the store is resemblant of a traditional japanese restaurant with bar service, tatami mats and tables. Service was quick and friendly once inside the store. On the pricier side for food items but that's fair for Japanese foods (and honestly worth the price) THE ONE CON I HAD was the wait system. The waitlist sign was tucked on the side, leaving many people confused on how to sign up on the waitlist. I recommend putting the sign in a more central location near the door front. We waited roughly 35 minutes for a table, although we were top of the list for at least 20 of those minutes. I wish staff was more friendly with helping to navigate the wait. They were very rushed at times :( I highly recommend doing a reservation in advance if you can or signing up the waitlist early All in all, great date night spot for superb sushi but needs a few tweaks to be truly amazing! I'll be back

We had an amazing dining experience! The seafood donburi was incredibly fresh and flavorful--it honestly felt like we were dining in Asia. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, especially the uni, scallops, ikura, and toro. Every bite was delicious and beautifully presented. The seafood bowl was the perfect size for two people to share, making it a great value while still feeling indulgent. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese seafood. read more

4.5/5 stars. Nice little corner restaurant with a good variety of Japanese dishes, from hand rolls and sashimi to creative specialties. The food was fresh and well presented, and the menu had plenty of options to choose from. The space is a bit cramped during busy hours, but the quality of the food and friendly service made for an enjoyable experience. Would happily come back again. read more

I ordered the omakase set and the kaisen don after seeing all the overwhelming photos on Yelp. The food is very Instagram-worthy. It was fresh and delicious, but the portions were a bit small for the price. The service was great because they were always quick and respectful. This place gets crowded very quickly, so it's best to arrive early. I also ordered the matcha tiramisu, but I would skip it because it was still half frozen. read more
4.5 stars rounded up to 5 star experience on Sunday evening 1 hour after opening. The interior design reminds me of being actually in Japan and I did not have to wait to be seated! The service was absolutely perfect, everyone is extremely attentive and hardworking. I enjoy how they make sure your hot water is hot, and if they come by to check and it's cold they will throw it out and refill you up. Wasabi quality is on the higher end compared to other restaurants. The salad had a little too much dressing which was overwhelming but all the other aspects cover for it. Onto the food selection and review! Omakase - 9/10 Saba Shioyaki - 6.5/10 Bay Scallop Roll - 9/10 Mango Spider 9/10 Toro Sashimi 2x - 11/10 Kanpachi (Amberjack) 2x - 8.5/10 Ginza Roll - 9/10 Overall the food was VERY delicious! The fish is extremely fresh and the quality is definitely on the upper echelon compared to their competitors. The toro sashimi was the star of the show, it was so good; had to get a second order of it after finishing the first round! All the rolls were phenomenal in size and quality! Their selection of rolls are amazing, ordered a winner every single time. Some big back tips; The mango spider is delicious if you crave that crunch in a roll, the Ginza roll is a bit more cooked fish within the roll, and the Bay Scallop is perfect for scallop lovers! They put some very large scallops on there. I personally love getting a side of ponzu as well. The Kampachi Amberjack was very good as well and the Omakase lived up to expectations! The only thing that wasn't superb was thei Shaba Shioyaki. Just a bit dry, and lacked some flavor and freshness. These minor thangs can be overlooked however because the service and attentiveness of their workers are very noticeable and they take care of you very well here. Everything said and done was 270, and at the end of the meal I felt very welcomed and will return with others to try even more items from their menu! I appreciate their hard work at this location and look forward to my next visit. read more

We came as a group of 7 and were able to try variety of things. Lion king and Crispy Philly roll were very good! Fish was fresh on all sets we ordered. Deserts options are nice: we tried mochi ice cream and crepe cake. There were a lot of people but we got sitted pretty quickly. Would come back again. read more
We came here for my sister's birthday and could not have asked for a better place to celebrate! (They do not do anything special for birthday, it seems, but the omakase box is the perfect "treat yoself" spread) Appetizers: -Soft Shell Crab ($10.95) - Super hot fried and crispy, served with katsu sauce. Entrees: -Omakase Sashimi ($63.95) - This is the BEAUTIFUL splurge item. It looks like a mosaic. -Chirashi Don ($32.95) - GORGEOUS authentic plating in a wood japanese box, and the amount of fish they give you is so, so, generous. I split this with everyone because it's so much protein. -Unagi Don ($20.95) - Really delicious, high quality, and great portions. Rolls we Split: -Rantei Maki ($17.95) -California Roll ($8.95) These were both well made, had a great filling-to-rice ratio, and delicious. The sushi is top notch, the presentation is stunning, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are very swift, attentive, and polite. There was a tiny bit of a wait on a Saturday evening. It's tucked in an unassuming mall plaza. read more
High quality ingredients, great tasting! Prices for the rolls are very reasonable. Other items might be a bit high but great for the quality. Love the sauce for ankimo I've always seen a line for this place but the move fast. There are lots of seatings inside. Street parking is easy to find read more
I love a good sushi spot and this will probably be my go to. All the appetizers that I got were so delicious and the sushi tasted fresh! I feel like I get sick after eating sushi but this place left me normal and wanting more. No regrets. The server we had was the sweetest and the friendliest person ever. He was so attentive and made sure everyone was okay before leaving. I saw they they also have seating areas where you're sitting with your shoes off but I didn't see that when we were there. They're having a little deal if you review you'll get mochi icecream. So review away~ read more

We came here a little after 6pm this past Sunday. We joined the waitlist and were about 8th in line. The wait wasn't too bad; we were called in after about 15 minutes. We each ordered a don. I got the Chirashi Don, which came with assorted sashimi, tamago, and ikura over rice. The presentation was beautiful, and I really liked the variety of sashimi. There was a good amount of fish, and it was soft and silky. There was also a light layer of furikake between the fish and rice, which was a nice touch. We ordered a few additional items to share among the four of us: the Tai (Red Snapper) Nigiri, Rantei roll, and Warriors roll. I don't think I've had raw red snapper before, but it was good. Each roll had at least two types of fish, and I loved the amount of fish on them. Staff was friendly and service was good. Overall, we had a wonderful meal! read more
We came early on Saturday around 5:30pm. Parking was easy in the parking lot and street. It was getting a busy already, but we didn't have to wait. Service was super friendly. Food was super fresh and delicious! I would definitely come back to try other dishes. read more
Food: Chirashi Deluxe Don Price: $43.95 Overall: I have eyeing this place for a while ever since I experienced eating a delicious don in Japan. We came around 6PM and was seated immediately at the bar. Upon arriving, the restaurant feels like they teleport you to Japan. We wanted an assortment of sashimi hence we ordered the Chirashi Deluxe. The Don is very color with the variety of fish. I really liked the yellowtail the most, the salmon comes in second. There isn't that much of a fishy smell and the fish is super fresh. This restaurant is a fantastic spot to try out Japanese cuisine and delicious sashimi. read more

Came here for my birthday to try something new! AMAZING service btw. Tried the deluxe and to my surprise I did like it just felt like I didn't know how to eat it haha. Will have to come back with someone who can teach me more or I can dabble and find out when I come back. Surprisingly fresh and the scallop was my fav. Glad I finally got to try uni. A different palate for me for sure haha. Def want to come back!! Thank you for the birthday experience :) read more
Great service, lots of menu options, very aesthetic, but flavor wise some items were a hit or miss. I've had tastier rolls/hand rolls elsewhere. Sashimi was not bad. Not really a place I'd go out of my way to come back to read more

First time coming here and HOLY WOW. husband and I came for our anniversary and the first thing I noticed was how attentive and great the service was!! Probably the best and most friendly service I've ever had. Our server was very accommodating and super super nice!! He recommended which sake to get and was very respectful and kind! Now to the food....DOUBLE WOW. I'm sure there are plenty of omakase places in the bay but this one, for the price? So good!! It's a little less than $70 per sashimi omakase (which is what we got, there are more options if you want sushi, or different quality fish). I loved everything in the omakase. The fish was fresh and each one had its own flavor profile and style that brought out the flavors of the fish. We of course got uni (our all time fave). The restaurant seems a lot smaller on the outside, but when you walk in it opens up to more seating. Overall great vibes! Parking is mostly street parking but it's a short walk and there's a bunch around the area. read more
My favorite Japanese restaurant in South Bay! Their fish is so fresh and everything is made impecabbly, and all of their rolls also have really fresh fish which is not always the case at sushi places. My favorite are the kaisen don, and several of the rolls including both of the scallop rolls, the crunchy salmon. They also have really lovey agedashi tofu, and cook their salmon shioyaki to perfection. I haven't had anything bad here. Also special shoutout to Alan who always goes out of his way to take care of us. Thank you so much for your kindness and care, we will be back :)!! read more

When it comes to quality, Rantei is the place I think of. Wanted to to a quality check again because this place truly was too good to be true the first time and I had high hopes again. Came by again on Valentine's Day night and boy was it busy, as expected. It's no secret that Rantei has become a jewel for Japanese cuisine in the bay due to their appealing omakase displays. They did walk ins only and even extended their hours for the holiday, and I respect their dedication to providing the best experience and service to each party that walked in. I can't thank all the sushi chefs enough for their hard work and attention to detail on every plate. I usually aim to sit at the sushi bar because it's quite entertaining and always astonishing to see their work. The staff was very attentive and I appreciate that they truly organize the plates in a respectful way every time they bring out a dish for you. It's a small detail that brings big appreciation to the service experience! On top of their excellent service, the food is outstanding! I personally don't go for their entrees or sushi rolls because you can get that anywhere, what I come for is their yakitori and simple rolls because Rantei is about quality and if you're able to find the good in their most simplest forms, welcome to the Rantei fan club. Truly a gem and I hope they continue to believe in their work because that waiting list is getting longer and longer now haha. Amazing experience, 100/10. read more
Rantei Japanese continues to be one of the few spots in the area that consistently delivers sushi that feels special. Their omakase was insanely good; not many local places even offer it, and even fewer pull it off at this level. Every piece felt thoughtful, fresh, and way above the usual neighborhood standard. The chef takes great care preparing. Their kaisen don is still a guaranteed hit. Packed with high-quality fish and the perfect balance of rice and toppings, it's one of those dishes you finish and immediately think, "Yeah, I could eat that again." Bottom line: Rantei remains the best sushi around. If you want a meal that proves freshness and technique still matter, this is the spot. The Japanese feel and ambiance is the perfect match to the meal. read more
We made a reservation for six for Saturday dinner and ended up needing to push it back by an hour -- the restaurant was very accommodating, which I really appreciated! Note that the entire party needs to be present before being seated. Parking in the plaza can be tricky with tight spots and a small lot, but you can usually find street parking nearby. Because we were a party of six, we were seated in one of the private rooms where guests are asked to remove their shoes. It's a nice traditional touch but something to keep in mind if you're dining with elderly guests or anyone who might have difficulty with mobility. We ordered a variety of dishes -- hand rolls, takoyaki, assorted skewers, tempura udon, an eel bowl, and sashimi platters. The seafood tasted fresh and well-prepared, and overall the food quality was great. The restaurant does get very busy with lines out the door and plenty of pickup orders, so the service could use a bit more support or staffing. Even so, the food definitely made it worth the visit. Also worth noting -- there's a 90‑minute dining limit, so plan accordingly if you're coming with a larger group. All in all, would recommend this spot for fresh sushi and a lively, authentic dining experience. read more

Ask the Community - Rantei Japanese Cuisine
Do they take reservations? If not, how long is the wait for Saturday evening?
There is a waitlist. It only took us 5-10 min to get in.
How do I get a hold of the restaurant to book a tatami room? Phone number doesn't work. First come first serve?
I just called them a few minutes ago and they were able to help me book a reservation for the tatami room! Maybe it's different from 5 months ago - but definitely had a good over-the-phone experience so far :).…
Is there a minimum charge for booking tatami?
I believe it was $250 not including the mandatory 18% tip.
What's the difference between a ROLL and a HAND ROLL?
A roll is your traditional sushi roll, sliced into bite-sized pieces that you can easily grasp with chopsticks.…
Is it byob/ is there a corkage fee?
It is not byob. Do you know any restaurants that are? There is a corkage fee.
Hi I want to make a reservation for 7 people but no one is answering and mailbox is full?
Good luck, nobody has ever picked up the phone whenever I call. I've just walked in. Food is great. But attentiveness to customers isn't what they are known for.
Is the wasabi provided with their sashimi real wasabi root?
Please note that the real wasabi provided on the side is included. If you need more, it cost 3.50 though.
So how does reservation work here? Nothing on website and nothing on Yelp.
Minimum party of 6 for reservations!
Can I make a reservation?
I called today 1/14/22 and they said they only do walk ins
For the kaisen don, is it good for one person only or can it feed a group of two?
It can honestly feed two if it's not the only dish you'll be eating. With the bed of rice on the bottom, it's pretty filling.
How do I make a reservation? How long is the line usually? Thank you
I just called today 10/14th and was informed they only take reservations over 6 people.
