    Shinkai Sushi is a very busy restaurant during meal time. My friend and I learned that the hard way when we arrived at about 6:30 pm. Fortunately I was the first one on the waitlist. Parking is a little tight as this little strip mall is quite popular. The restaurant itself was quite small with about 15 tables available. The sushi chefs were tucked in a small corner adjacent to the one coed restroom. Ordering is quite interesting where a QR code was used. You made your choices and submitted it to the kitchen. One major issue is that there is no way to tell when our order was coming. After about a 25 minute wait (as I said busy meal time) our order started to arrive. We ordered a Hamachi Kama, Dragon Roll, Orange Ocean Roll, cheesecake and black sesame ice cream. Everything was tasty and very nice. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants. It would seem that the restaurant could be understaffed.

    Food? Amazing!! I definitely found a new go-to sushi spot in the East Bay. I loved how vast their menu was and how fresh the sushi actually tasted. We ended up coming a second time later in the week for takeout when it wasn't as busy as the day we decided to stop by. Some highlights: + Salmon Salmon! ($17): As a salmon lover, this roll was literallyyyy perfect. It had salmon skin, salmon, and salmon roe. The sushi was well constructed and tasted great. + Kaisen Don: SUCH amazing quality!! I loved how buttery the uni was and how light the scallop was especially. I'm also a sucker for seared salmon so this was just great all around. Our food came out fairly quickly which was greatly appreciated after a long wait. The main con of our experience -- we visited for a Father's Day dinner and were the second party on their whiteboard waitlist, but we still ended up waiting a little over an hour for a table. Unfortunately, our name got erased from the waitlist twice due to staff mix-ups. Since most parties were waiting outside, we had one person from our group waiting inside to listen for our name. * The first time, I think the server mistook us for another party and erased our name. We let him know and he let us rewrite our name in it's original place. * The second time, he called our party's name, erased us from the board, and our friend immediately went outside to bring the rest of us inside. Before we could all walk in, another party of 6 (whose name was actually below ours on the waitlist) walked in first. We let the server know they weren't with us, but instead of acknowledging the mix-up, he said they had a reservation - even though he had just called our party's name and removed us from the waitlist. We ended up having to rewrite our name on the whiteboard, and there was never an apology for either mix-up. I think the process could've been handled much better by confirming which party was actually being seated instead of only calling names to people waiting inside, especially since most guests were waiting outside. -- Overall, I think the food was amazing but it was unfortunate that the service wasn't as great as expected. Understandably, it was a busy day but I hope they're able to find better ways to manage their waitlist and seating process during peak hours.

    Tucked inside a strip mall, this is a small sushi restaurant. Call in ahead if your group is larger than 4 people. Menu is pretty big for a small operation. Our group order udon for the kids, a few rolls, an unagi don, a few nigiri orders, and a few of the sashimi sampler boxes. The food was ok and served our cravings. The sampler boxes were big enough for one hungry adult or two adults to share. The unagi don was the smallest don I've ever seen and for $25 it felt overpriced. The rolls were comparable to any other restaurant. The host and waiter were friendly and took our orders and brought out water and tea quickly. Our server on the other hand had this look of disdain. When we asked for a fork for the kids or more ice for water, he looked rather annoyed.

    Tucked in the corner of the plaza, first floor! It's quite small but very cozy! We came in a Friday night but didn't have to wait too long. We ordered Ikageso Karagee but the order came out wrong twice - we received the grilled whole squid instead but didn't want to wait so we just left it alone. When it did come out it had a quail shell (pictured) on it which I didn't see originally until pointed out. I'd still come here since the food was good over!

    Very solid sushi and Japanese food joint - above average fish quality for a pretty good value (all things considered) What impressed me was the omakase, the fish was notably more flavorful and had higher fat content. Flavors and seasoning all balanced well, they put shiso leaf bits in between under the typically gamier fish and rice. Savory roe bits dot the top of some of the stronger tasting fishes. And 8pc were only $40. Salmon rolls (salmon salmon) and (orange ocean) were both good. Nice citrus hit in orange ocean but doesn't overpower - salmon salmon roll had good crisp and umami from the fried skin. The sashimi platter was solid - nothing that blew my mind but it was pretty good quality fish, only minor complaint was it was cut into oddly shaped chunks and not consistent in texture between each bite Also they gave a LOT of plum wine, not skimpy at all!

    First timer here. My fiance decided to treat me to sushi as we haven't had any quite some time. To start, salted edamame on the house is what I've grew up being used to, and seems like a lot of places don't do anymore. Shinkai does-- automatic plus for me. I ordered the Sushi Crafter Box and salivated as it being walked over to my table. It looked so satisfying that I didn't even want to dig in. But of course I had to. It was incredible! I normally don't love fatty tuna because the texture can be inconsistent and veiny but it was soft and not veiny at all! My fiance ordered 2 rolls, and a sashimi appetizer and loved it all. We were able to share everything we ordered and both left very satisfied. The service was fantastic, waters being refilled without having to ask and the restaurant was clean. It is a bit small unfortunately but that's just to say, expect wait times!

    Service was good and servers were nice. Place was clean and organized. Food was okay- perhaps I didn't care much for our choices. Will try this place again and try other food items in the menu.

    Cute little space in the plaza. Order from the app and they bring out- be careful to order from 1 mobile if there is one bill, but can order from different phones to have separate bills if needed. They can combine but can get messy if they are busy of course. Parking - shared lot, can get busy! Bathroom- looks like single occupant bathroom towards the back of kitchen. Noticed it said dogs are allowed- they are not allowed (outside of service animals) - no outdoor seating or anything. Fish quality was good! We had a variety of things- I didn't take a pic of the chirashi but it was good! The only thing I wouldn't order again is the bluefin toro uni handroll with fried bits- it tasted a little stale to me and it was served a little late as the seaweed was more on the soggy side. The downside of going when it's busy so keep that in mind~

    Located in a plaza where parking can get pretty full, but if you circle around a bit you can usually find a spot. The interior decor is fun but elevated and gives the place its own personality. The servers were really nice. The highlight though: The fish here was super fresh, especially the tuna, which really stood out. Overall, the quality felt noticeably better than a lot of other sushi spots I've tried in the Bay Area. I will definitely be back :)

    dry udon was not worth it. the tempura was very good and crispy. we tried the poke in the cup, it was small but yummy. I also tried the albacore tataki..it only said scallions and didn't indicate there's be fried garlic which was overpowering. the service was mediocre, had to ask for water, check, sauces, to go box. I hate when waiters wait for tip to be added and it starts at 18 percent when all they did was deliver food and not provide any service. ordering was via a QR code.

    This unassuming restaurant located in a 2-story food building was a great find. We've walked passed by it before heading to the other restaurants but never chose it. It was our 2nd choice even today but that's going to change! We had the lunch specials: Salmon Teriyaki, Chicken Terriyaki, & Tonkatsu. We also decided to add-on the lunch special sides: tempura, salmon skin roll, & a California roll. For the price, it was an easy choce to makr. We didn't expect the sides to be full portions! The lunch plates came with miso soup, salad, & rice. I don't know how to describe it but the miso soup was super flavorful! It's the best I've had especially as part of a set meal. It set the tone for the rest of the dishes. The portions were generous for a lunch set meal & they were very delicious. The server was friendly, too. When we were selecting sides, he suggested that we choose three different items & told us his fave. He was right. This can be our next fave Japanese place. We may need to try the other sushi & sashimi items next time.

    We stopped by after craving some sushi and found that they offered an omakase set that was pretty inexpensive. After looking at the menu, we decided to go for the nigiri premium set and the premium hand roll set. We also ordered the deep fried octopus legs! It was lightly deep fried with a tempura coating, and served with a slice of lemon for taste and this seasoned mayo sauce on the side. Upon arrival, we were luckily seated quite fast despite having 2 parties of 4 waiting for seats. Lucky us! The service was very attentive throughout the night as well. Overall, shinkai sushi is such a solid sushi place. It being so close to us, we'll most likely find ourselves here whenever we're craving sushi again. 5/5 for being to make your own hand rolls in their premium set!

    Was in the area looking for dinner and a Tesla charger and sure enough, there is one nested right next to this sushi spot! We did have great sushi here, our only complaint was the table not getting bussed at all, and them not really returning. But, BUT, the sushi here was pretty damn good, especially the nigiri and even more specifically the tuna. They DO NOT play around with the amount of fish they stack on the nigiri, and all of the sushi was fresh and tasty. One thing I would avoid is the popcorn chicken / karaage. As great as the sushi was the karaage was admittedly tasteless, not even salt. This would benefit a ton from maybe some 5 spice.

If I remember correctly, they get some of their seafood locally, from Pillar Point Harbor, by Half Moon Bay. Other fish come from farther afield but quality and cost control is reasonable given the fact that seafood is expensive. I've never been led astray. Order at the counter, find a seat, and food will be delivered to your table. Never had their pasta before. Finally tried their fettuccine. Instead of Alfredo sauce, substituted with butter sauce. Selected shrimp with crab. OMG! So good. Pasta was perfectly al dente. Hate mushy pasta. This pasta was fully cooked but still had texture. The butter sauce was generously studded with garlic. Shrimp were large and plump. Fully cooked but not rubbery at all. Next time, will skip the crab which disintegrated into the sauce. Go all shrimp or maybe try with fish. The fried clam strips appetizer was a huge portion and totally unnecessary. The fettuccine was enough of a meal by itself. In fact, was so full after the clams, took most of the fettuccine home. Even as leftovers, the shrimp and fettuccine was so delicious for dinner the next day. To cap it off, staff from the head chef to the cashier/server were so friendly and helpful. They genuinely seem happy to work here. Only 1 suggestion, they should add a few TVs for World Cup viewing.

It's very charming yet fancy at the same time. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. To be fair, it was a slow Monday and there was plenty of seating. We opted to sit outside due to the nice weather. They brought us waters and bread to get started which I appreciated. For drinks, my wife went with the Cab and I chose an old fashioned. Both came out promptly. For appetizer's, keep in mind they're not very large portions and can take a bit to come out. I suggest 1 appetizer will be enough for two people. Order more than you think you need if you're hungry or it's a larger party. Since it was later in the day, we both chose salads for our entrees. They were delicious!

But luckily it was refilled again within 5-10 minutes. Unfortunately, they have still not improved the process of order stations for lobster/Wagyu and mala tang/teppanyaki. It causes a lot of congestion and no one is able to get by. People were literally shoulder to shoulder scooting by each other if they could. It just gets too crowded. And to be honest, where are you suppose to stand when waiting for your food to be prepared? Many people walked away and came back to be confused if it was their food or someone else's. Communication wasn't great either. Overall, for the price (slight increase from opening week), I would go back just for the mala tang station and hot seafood!

They didn't quite have that "I'm going to think about these tomorrow" factor. The sweetest part of the evening was when our server brought out a baklava with a candle for our birthday girl. Unfortunately, she's allergic to pistachios, so he quickly brought out a little bowl of ice cream instead. Very thoughtful save! Service was good overall, although things slowed down at times. We weren't in a rush, so it wasn't a dealbreaker. Would I come back? Yep.

    Soooo good! Some of the freshest seafood I've had in seafood boil. I tried king crab, soft shell…read morecrab, dungeoness crab, shrimp, mussel, and clams in the ferry hot lemon crab flavor. Firstly, the sauce was super flavorful and a perfect consistency. Ferry hot packs a kick without being overly hot. None of the seafood was overcooked at all. The clams were so plump and juicy! Also tried the cajun shrimp roll which was super buttery and yum. Garlic noodles and garlic fries were solid not complaints. Got a side of garlic veggies as well as their passionfruit drink which were both refreshing. Great service. It's a small little spot with only a few tables, but a lot of people do take out. Very hole in the wall vibe. Definitely wanna be back! Overall: 4.8/5

I ordered the snow crab and shrimp with the Lemon Crab seasoning/sauce, and the flavor was a solid 10/10. The crab meat was incredibly easy to get out of the shell and tasted fresh and delicious. One thing to note is that the snow crab only comes in 1 lb portions, so there isn't an option to order a half pound. I also added corn, potatoes, and sausage, which paired perfectly with the seafood boil and soaked up all that amazing sauce. My order was ready in about 20 minutes, which was impressive considering how busy they were. The only downside was that they forgot to include the tools needed to crack the crab legs, which made eating them a little more challenging once I got home. Overall, I had a great birthday meal and would definitely come back. I'd give Lemon Crab an 8.8/10! Also for reference my order was $68
