I ordered the Hwe Dup Bap and was blown away by the portion size. This was def enough to feed 2-3 people and it was all very fresh and tasted great. We also got edamame, tobiko rolls, miso soup and avocado rolls. Everything came out great and for the portion size the price is great. The outdoor seating in downtown was lovely as well. read more

Really hit the spot! I came in on a Saturday for a take out order, and I was very impressed! The woman at the counter was very kind, affable, and hilarious. And my wait was very short, only about 15 to 20 minutes. The sushi was so so so delicious! I got the spicy scallop roll, the sake maki, the salmon skin roll, and the garlic edamame. All so flipping good! I think my favorite was the sake/ tuna! It was so fresh and really hit the spot. But honestly everything was fantastic! I'll definitely be back! read more

Roppongi Sushi - Flammer Roll & 49ers Roll - Japanese Near Me - Livermore, California

A nice, cozy sushi spot in Downtown Livermore. A bit on the pricier side for sushi, but the quality is very fresh. The portion for the First Street roll is huge! Had mountains of salmon in it. We enjoyed our other rolls like the Polar bear and the Simba. The spicy garlic edamame wasnt spicy at all and didn't have much of a garlic flavor, more like a sweet chili sauce. Service was quick and very friendly! read more

Brought my family for three of our birthdays. Our server was amazingly sweet. That night. Friday the 13th only had two sushi chefs. Food took longer to get. The 9 & 11 year ok girls receive their meals. Great atmosphere. Always asking if we need anything. Just an overall wonderful experience read more

Delicious sushi, sashimi, and bento at a great value! Love the lunch menu and great location as well with a lot to walk around after eating!

Several people recommended Roppongi, though I was not impressed with their prices looking online. We eat out often and get sushi often. We decided to stop on a bike ride and the rolls we got were comparable to Safeway Friday sushi. If you know, you know. Totally overpriced, but our server was sweet. read more

This is a great sushi place and very nice location. They have a great selection and nice atmosphere

Decided to stop in Livermore to meet up with an old friend. Decided on this sushi restaurant because we both love raw fish. Walked in and the place seemed quaint with ambient lighting, but it was a nice day so we sat outside. 14 pc sashimi for the price was pretty worth it and so my friend and I split. Our waitress forgot to ring in our order, so we got our food a lot later than when we sat down. She seemed really kind about the mistake and was really apologetic about it. All that to say I'm not sure if it was the wait or the fish but we absolutely CLEARED our plates. I don't have a photo of our meal because of it, but please know it was good and worth every penny! read more

Our go-to sushi spot. There are so many great options to choose from it can be tough! Super friendly staff though and we got the Tokyo rolls and rainbow as well and they were both good but man the Tokyo ones stole the show. Could have easily had 20 more of those rolls, highly recommend read more

Impeccable service, fresh sashimi, and overall delicious food! Thank you Ellen for making our dinner here amazing. My parents go here at least twice a month! And I finally get to try their favorite Japanese restaurant. The sashimi slices are thick and fresh, we got 2 deluxe plates for the party of 7. My grandma ordered the salmon collar and it was amazing. We also got the 49ers roll, and the sexy roll which I recommend as well. Well, I recommend everything honestly. Just watch out of the line, as it can get very busy during peak hours. Parking can get difficult, but it's worth all the trouble. read more

My first visit to Roppongi! They've been in Downtown Livermore for a while and I'd usually just pass by it all the time whenever I'm in the area. I had the chance to try it for the first time though, and ended up enjoying the food much more than I thought I would! We came with a larger group for a late Sunday lunch / early dinner, around 3-4 PM. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. It was a hot day, so we opted for indoor seating but the estimated wait was 30 to 40 minutes. Fortunately there were plenty of shops in Downtown Livermore to keep us occupied, so we decided to wait it out. Our table was ready within that estimated range. Boy were the rolls here HEFTY. The rolls were generously filled and wrapped properly and the cuts of fish were also a great size. I ordered the Mango Paradise (comes with Salmon, Avocado, Cucumber topped with Salmon, Mango, Macadamia Nuts, Unagi Sauce & Mango Sauce, Tobiko) and the roll was delicious! The fish tasted fresh, the sauce that lied on top of the roll was super tasty. I really liked how well the mango complimented the salmon. Overall, rolls were impressive but I didn't try much else on the menu. I think they can definitely improve on the service aspect of things, but otherwise it was a good experience! read more

This is my favorite end-of-week lunch place, to celebrate surviving another one. Up until today, I always ordered the sushi lunch, which is 4 pieces of nigiri and 5 pieces of California roll. HOWEVER, there's a better way to do that, for the same $19.95. Order a bento with nigiri, get a bigger roll, get the same yummy soup and salad (best sushi-place salad around) plus a mound of rice, and throw in a third element. In my case, veggie gyoza. It's a nice pile of food for the money, quickly delivered. Since this is in the heart of "radio-free Livermore" it would be nice if they could offer wifi. No Verizon signal to be had, so you have to actually converse with someone. Eeek! read more

Roppongi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Livermore, California

This is a solid five star adventure, even when compared to the top sushi players in the bay area: * Sen Dai - Milpitas * Blue Fin - San Jose on the Alameda, RIP * Wasabi - Livermore Why? Fresh fish, large cuts (really large which is a critical factor in any rating) and flavor. I am writing this review a couple days after going and am getting hungry just re-living the experience. Accompanied by Mr. S. Wang, CPA, Broker, CCIM, and General Contractor, I needed the place to impress and it did. The prices are also very reasonable just like Wasabi in Livermore. Please see photos of the various cuts served and the overall spread. Tip of the day - eat sushi often. P.S. note that Amakara is no longer on the top sushi players list in the bay area. Please contact me for the extensive list of reasons that I believe have led to their demise if desired. read more

First off, this place isn't as busy on Sunday when the Farmer's market is around which was heaven sent. My bf, friend, and I originally wanted to go to Monica's and the wait was 1 hr 15 min. So we went to Roppongi. Plenty of tables, service was quick too. My bf and I ordered the Roppongi Roll, SF 49ers roll, Baked Lobster roll and Lion King. My friend ordered a beef udon. Then we got the chicken karaage to share. The chicken karaage was...interesting. It has rosemary which is unlike other places but in turn, not sure how I liked the rosemary. Probably could do without. Also while most places come with some form of kewpie mayo, this one used tonkatsu sauce which again, interesting combo. The usage of tonkatsu sauce is pretty good though so that was more of a good interesting. The Roppongi sushi is spicy but not overly so which was good. 49ers is a pretty standard roll all around. The fish was fresh. Now the baked rolls were amazing though. The lion king and the lobster rolls are similar to each other. Both baked and have a sauce on top. But in my opinion, the lion king roll is better. They gave plenty of fish on top and salmon was perfectly baked. I suppose my only complaint is that it seems to fall apart a bit easier than most places. So if there's a way to keep it a bit more together, that would be better. The taste and overall look is there though. If I end up back in Livermore anytime soon, this would be a place to return to. read more

It's no secret this is my favorite ramen spot in Livermore! This time we tried the Fat Boy Mix, caterpillar roll, and dragon roll. Caterpillar roll was a caterpillar roll (tasty! Nothing stands out about it) but dragon really impressed me! Definitely the tables favorite. The fat boy mix was interesting... if you're ordering it, definitely make it a share item. It's not the quantity of food that you'll want to share, it's that the dish is 60% stringy crab (?) on top which will be too overwhelming for one person. We thought the sushi on the bottom was tasty, and the fish chunks on top were good, but honestly the volume of crab on top was way too much. They could halve it and it would be much better. We also got the green tea ice cream for dessert and it was very good! As always, will be back :) read more

Really exceptional sushi! We got three rolls; the Fat Boy Mix, Dragon, and Caterpillar. Our least favorite was the Fat Boy Mix, it was just too much and wasn't super noteworthy. Service was very good, we got seated quickly and the servers were responsive. Ambiance is also good, it was decently busy but it didn't feel too loud or crowded. read more

I love sushi and have heard Roppongi come up in enough sushi conversations with local friends that I decided to forgo my go-to and give them a try for take out. While nothing was "bad", I wasn't overly impressed either. My initial impression when I opened everything up was "fishy" -- and not in a good way. For the first time I had to take tuna off of my specialty roll to want to finish it, and even then it was meh. Also, the roe I had added came in a separate container, rather than incorporated in the roll. Kind of impossible to use. All in all it just wasn't anything special. I'll stick to my tried and true. read more

The service was great, our order was taken and in no time the food was on the table. We ordered Firecracker and one more Sushi, tempura along with Miso soup and hot sake. The food was so delicious and the ambience was great. It was a great night, We all definitely enjoyed it. read more

We visited this restaurant during the Livermore Street Fest, and it remains one of my favorite sushi spots. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is consistently excellent. Ambiance is casual. Their sushi here is incredibly fresh, and they have some outstanding rolls. Today, we ordered the following: - **Livermore Roll:** Spicy tuna topped with salmon, a hint of macadamia nuts, jalapeño, and Unagi sauce. This combination creates a wonderful, flavorful roll. - **Avocado Cucumber Roll:** Refreshing and an excellent choice. - **Mango Salmon Roll:** Although not photographed, this is my favorite. Fresh salmon paired with the sweetness of mango and Unagi sauce makes it a winner. The sushi prices are also reasonable. When in Livermore and craving sushi, be sure to visit Roppongi. read more

FRESH FRESH sushi rolls!! Always good! The geisha, Livermore, & first street are my favorites!!

We won a couple gift cards at an event and while at another event close by we decided to order take out for lunch ... We ordered the Spicy pork entree that comes with miso soup, salad and rice. The pork was tender and nice size pieces for the most part for easy eating - was a few large piece of fat but not bad compared to the amount of pork you got. Soup was tasty, salad was nice but the huge chucks of tomato would have been better cut smaller... Yaki Soba noodles - nice portion - noodles were a little clumpy up but might just have been cause it was take out and sat a little while but perfectly cooked. Decent amount of chicken and vegetables. Comes with miso soup for $14.95 Didn't get a chance to take any photos . The spice pork came on a cute take out bento box. read more

Roppongi never disappoints! It has been a while since I've taken my daughters to Roppongi but we walked in on a Sunday around 6pm. We were given the option to sit inside or outside. We chose to sit inside mf were seated immediately. We ordered the chicken katsu for my 9 year old and my 12 year old and I shared 3 rolls: 1. Zombie roll : I usually love raw fish rolls but this roll is so unique and yummy. Deep fried jalapeño with cream cheese, Unagi & Avocado on inside and smoked salmon & macadamia nuts plus some sauces drizzled on the outside. 2. Crazy Horse : so fresh and delicious and sized well. No skimping. fresh tuna, salmon & albacore, avocado, cucumber, kaiware & tobiko. 3. Flamer roll : too fun not to order atleast once. They wrap this roll in fire and light the plate on fire before delivering it to your table. They unwrap the roll and extinguish the fire right in front of you. Shrimp tempura, spicy tuna & unagi inside and salmon, yellowtail, macadamia nuts and tobiko on top plus drizzled sauces. Service was great, food came fast and fresh and eveything was delicious ! read more

Was having Korean Food withdrawals so bad that I was searching Yelp and internally drooling over food images. Now that I've moved to the sticks AND my job moved to the edge of nowhere my options have dwindled down to practically nothing. Perseverance or self inflicted torture however you look at it resulted in a find - Poppongi Sushi had a bento box option for spicy pork! Convinced my lunch buddies to give it a try even though it was a bit of a hoof to get there from work, we scored parking in front and made it back to work in time - whew! For $20 out the door I got a 3 item combo with Spicy pork, Saba and mixed tempura. Tempura was a nice selection of veggies and a shrimp, Saba was huge for a lunch portion and very good. Spicy pork looked good, cooked perfectly with some charred bits, took a bite and it was deeelicious! I've found my Korean fix, maybe I can sneak some kimchi in for the full experience?! Also tried the lobster roll, California roll and gyoza and all were good. One person in our group commented that the rolls were heavy with the rice but I like rice. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant. We went there and ordered food this evening. We sat outside and ate our food. The outdoor tables were set over dusty gravel next to First street. The street was busy with noisy motor vehicles. Loud trucks, noisy motorcycles with some foot and bicycle traffic. We should have sat inside as it became more apparent some of the rude patrons were more problematic than the disturbing street noises. One of the patrons seated at a table next us was using F bombs while speaking loudly on his mobile phone. A minute or so later they were joined by a friend on a bicycle who rode in on a mountain bike and parked it upside down on the gravel. The teenage server interacted with this group and not once asking the new member to park his bike else where, rather complimented them which was strange. The new member on the bike was dropping F bombs in the presence of children and young teenagers having dinner with their family while boasting about rolling a golf card earlier in the day. A couple walking along the sidewalk knew the rude patrons joining in by using more F bombs! I spoke to our female server about the rude patrons and how they ruined our night out having dinner at their establishment. They could have asked the problem patrons to watch their language and mentioned they would call the police if necessary. I was told they could do nothing and there was no manager on duty. It seemed no one working at the restaurant, when no manager is on duty, is empowered or trained what to do with problem patrons. But then there was the other problem where the server claimed ignorance, but the two servers working the area were clearly present when all the loud f-bombs could be heard. Regarding the food. The rice was a tad bit mushy and the sushi was influenced by the texture of the rice. Absent the ability to run a restaurant by taking care patrons that were there to have dinner with their family and couples enjoying an evening out, food was brought out promptly. Maybe this place is meant for takeout patrons as the restaurant area was inhospitable on this occasion. read more

Nice place downtown. Indoor & outdoor seating. LOTS of options (including vegetarian). Service was fast & our server was attentive & patient while we took a while to look over the menu. Edamame was seasoned perfect. Gyoza was deep fried (not pan fried like traditional gyoza) but still good. Miso soup was good. Bathrooms were clean. The restaurant was clean. Definitely would go back if we're in the area. read more

Came to this place with my fiance and her family and we were in a bit of a time crunch before our next engagement. The staff was amazing and they were super accommodating and friendly. We had several different rolls with my personal favorite being the sexy casanova. But really couldn't go wrong and we had a nice mix of special, fried and more standard rolls like a rainbow roll. Great spot has some patio seating too. Had a couple tvs on sports but the audio isn't on so it's not like a sports bar or anything it still has a nice sushi spot vibe. read more

Plenty parking out back. Loved the outdoor seating. Good for people watching but also great for kids who need to fidget. Kids box- loved that their kids' meal came with gyoza, miso soup, rice, veggie tempura, and chicken teriyaki. My kid couldn't finish it so we helped him. Baked scallop- rich, creamy, mildly sweet. Pretty comparable to others I've had Geisha- would've liked it more if it were spicier. read more

Excellent food and excellent location! We can on a Sunday evening and were immediately seated at one of their outdoor tables in which there are plenty - probably more than available in their limited indoor space. The menu boasts the traditional sushi rolls, specialty rolls, and a variety of dinner plates and bento boxes. Well "boxes" are a misnomer here because they actually serve these on regular plates. We ordered a few rolls including the Lion King and the Rainbow rolls, stir fried yakisoba noodles, and two two item bentos (for a third item it's only $3.50 more which seems like not a bad deal at all). Portion sizes are plenty and justify the higher prices for this centrally located restaurant in the heart of downtown Livermore. We all agreed that this was equally on par and on top of one of our other memorable Japanese restaurants in Dublin. Service was adequate, however, the food was amazingly perfect. This is a definite must go-to that is so unassuming! read more

Great sushi. Food was really good. I got it to go, so can comment on the service but will definitely go here again.

This restaurant has great potential with some attention to detail and training. It's not a huge space in downtown Livermore. Tables against the walls on both sides and a few tables out in front. We were given our choice of available tables and we chose the middle table against the right wall. Banquette seating against the wall and chairs on the outside. Menus were presented along with set-ups and small plates. Our drink orders were taken. We were boring. I asked for Iced Water and she got Hot Tea. After drink service came order taking. We placed our orders and I returned to my car to get my phone. When I returned to the restaurant, my Salad and Miso Soup were waiting for me. The server had not asked my dining partner if he should wait for my return or just begin service. Our two appetizers came out about two minutes apart. No big deal because we had planned to share. Had we not, then one of us would have temporarily without food. At this point, my partner showed our server her Yelp check-in for a free scoop of ice cream. He stared at it as if he had never seen it before. I told him that I had also checked in and was trying to bring it up to show him but he said that he would take care of it and walked away. As we were finishing our appetizers, our entrees arrived. Both plates looked delicious. Bright, colorful plates with very little dead space. We started digging in. Her piece of Saba Shioyaki was a. Big potion and delicious. My Sashimi looked beautiful but when you picked them up, some of the pieces were poorly cut. A couple of pieces probably should have been blocked differently do that each piece could be relatively uniform to all the other pieces. What bothered me the most were the 'hangers'. Little bits of fish that were separated and should have simply been cut away. And then, in the middle of entrees. Another server came by with a scoop of ice cream in a tiny bowl. I asked her if we could finish our dinners before dessert. She looked as if she were going to say something but changed her mind. After we were done eating, she brought the ice cream again. I told her that I had also checked in but she said it was only one per table. Good thing there were only two of us. We had been eating the last week at tables for eight. That tiny scoop would t have gone far. We never saw our original server again after entrees arrived. No one came to check on our meals. No one refilled my water or her tea. And my Sashimi Deluxe was supposed to come with rice. Yes, we could always ask for what we need but we have higher expectations of service. read more
