    Sushi Secrets is the best poke restaurant in Berkeley in terms of portions, price, and food quality. They also have very unique sauce selections, my personal favorite are the: Unagi, Poke, Spicy Mango and Japanese Kimchee. In my opinion, poke places make themselves stand out based on their fish quality, and the tuna and salmon here feels extremely fresh and high quality, better than the other places in the area. I really like their crab salad as well! Definitely recommend going to Sushi Secrets if you're looking for a high quality poke spot in Berkeley. (4.7/5 stars!)

    Rice bowl with Chicken
    Renny T.

    First time trying the place for lunch. Since i didn't know what to order, i decided to go with their rice bowl with chicken. It was so delicious and fresh. Rich and fulfilling. I actually really loved it. Ambiance was clean and calm. I wish their sitting area was a bit more refined. It was pretty slow and quiet during that time. Thank you for the delicious meal!!! Might go back to try their rolls. Recommended!!!

    This is my favorite poke bowl place in Berkeley! Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful. The portion size is great and love that you can load the bowls up at no extra cost. I love it!

    Grabbed dinner here this past Friday, and had a great experience. Ordered online in advance, and my order was ready in less than ten minutes. Decided to dine in as there was ample seating available and the place was lovely inside, modern and inviting. The sushi burrito with 2 proteins (fried shrimp tempura, crab salad, regular mayo, fried onion, jalapeno) was fat and filling. All of the ingredients were fresh tasting, the shrimp was warm and delicious, the jalapeno wasn't spicy but had good flavor, everything just came together nicely. And staff was friendly at the counter making me feel welcome during my visit.

    I used to come here a lot few years ago. They had stamp for each item I purchased. Now they wanted to terminate that, and for each stamp according to the note they will give credit $1,00 I had 7 stamps but they only gave me $3,00 credit. I asked why? The guy did not give me the reason. I ordered 2 sushiritto with assumption I will get $7 credit. Before I could say more, he took the stamp card, teared and threw it away. The sushiritto now has smaller size although the prices are increased. Not coming back here!

    I got the Poke Bowl with salmon and tuna and pretty much all the toppings. It was pretty delicious and definitely made me full. Service was fast. Overall 8/10 solid

    i was honestly a bit scared to try this place after seeing several poor reviews, but it was actually pretty good! I got the build your own sushi burrito, and it was so yummy. i got it with shrimp tempura and crab salad, and the portion size was huge! it is a bjt soggy at the ends from the sauce, but i love how they let you include so many sauces and toppings. i ordered takeout, but the store does have a bit of seating in the back, and the employees are very helpful! it's honestly kind of an interesting location on shattuck and more of a grab and go kind of place.

    YUM. Forget poke bowls, sushi burritos are the new thing. Flavor explosion with the perfect crunch and distribution of ingredients. This does get messy nearing the end but think of it as a fun challenge

    GREAT portions. Although they don't have a ton of fish, everything else comes at a surplus and you definitely get more than your money's worth of food here. My 18 year old son, who usually eats a good amount, almost had trouble finishing a poke bowl here!! Love the variety, great, clean interior and quick service! Definitely a spot to visit when not looking to splurge and in need of a hearty meal.. will come again.

    I like getting poke bowls here. The flavors are amazing and this is my go to poke spot! There are lots of toppings to choose from and it's pretty filling and yummy :)

    Build-your-own : CUSTOME BURRITOS - Regular size (2 proteins)
    Emmeline W.

    Better than Sushiritto for suuuure. One of the better sushi burrito spots, if a little pricy. My build-your-own was around $17 total (though, I did include avocado and masago). Located on Shattuck, a block off from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. They offer rolls, poke bowls, sushi burritos, and other cooked items. Interior doesn't really have a theme, other than fish art on the wall with ukiyo-e prints, a few wood elements here and there. SUSHI BURRITO: So fresh! I love that they don't slather the fillings with too much sauce like other places tend to do. I added both poke sauce and wasabi mayo-- they were able to balance both well while not obscuring the fresh fish flavor. The veg fresh & crisp, and the rice was seasoned right (and thankfully cold!). The rolls might seem small, but they're more filling than it seems. Definitely worth a try.

    Found this place by accident! The place is small but comforting and very clean. The staff is nice. Street parking only, however conveniently right next to Berkeley downtown BART station. They serve sushi burrito and bento box as well as some variety sushi roles. Many to choose from. I had the sushi burrito No.7 Berkeley Charito. It was very delicious! I would definitely be back here again soon!

    Supermarket-quality sushi at restaurant prices. It's just not...good. The workers seem nice enough. It was not worth the money.

    Came here for dinner with my sister and brother-in-law at their recommendation, and I can…read moredefinitely see why they keep coming back. The restaurant was packed and seating is pretty limited, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The atmosphere is lively and energetic with casual Japanese eatery vibes, and service was friendly throughout the meal. Everything felt creative, rich in flavor, and very texture-focused. Here are the highlights: * Ankimo Mousse (monkfish liver) with sweet potato chips - Made with truffle paste, capers, and chives. Absolutely delicious. The mousse was rich and savory but surprisingly fluffy in texture -- honestly a savory girl's dream. The sweet potato chips added just enough sweetness and a snap to balance the richness of the liver. 9/10 * Bluefin Tuna & Tsubugai Sashimi Nuta - Bluefin tuna, sea snail, broccolini, and fresh wakame tossed in a sweet Kyoto yuzu miso vinaigrette. Kind of like a sashimi-seaweed salad. I really liked the vinaigrette and especially the texture of the sea snail. I'm not sure all the ingredients fully came together cohesively, but it was still enjoyable overall. 7.5/10 * Yuba (house-made tofu skin with ikura and uni) - Served as single bites on spoons. SO good. You can really taste the difference between house-made tofu skin and store-bought. It's much more delicate, creamy, and tender, with a mild soybean flavor that balanced the richness of the uni and salmon roe beautifully. The textures in this bite were incredible. 9.5/10 * Iberico Pork Jowl Skewer with miso marinade - I honestly prefer pork jowl over pork belly. The fat and meat are more integrated instead of layered, so every bite is tender, juicy, and flavorful with just the right amount of chew. So good. 9/10 * Clam & Cilantro Ramen - I've never had a ramen broth quite like this. It was slightly creamy and deeply flavored from the clams, and the cilantro added a lot of depth and freshness. The noodles had a great texture too -- chewy and bouncy. Everything worked together perfectly. 9/10 * Uni Carbonara Pasta - Pasta with parmesan, uni, and ikura. They do not skimp on the uni or roe here. Super creamy and rich with bursts of saltiness from the ikura. The texture was great, but I honestly wished it had just a tiny bit more salt to really make all the flavors pop. It was almost there for me. 7.5/10 * Desserts - We tried two desserts, including the sweet potato brûlée. Both were delicious. One had a silky panna cotta-like texture, while the sweet potato brûlée was creamy, lightly sweet, and had the perfect crackly sugar top. 9/10 Overall, such a fun meal with a lot of unique dishes and flavor combinations. There are still so many things on the menu I want to try next time. I'll definitely be back.

    I've been to Kiraku twice before this visit, and I felt like the food quality was stronger prior…read more The food comes in a timely manner, staff is mindful to not fill your table as it's a small space. The standouts were the corn tempura, the sushi and the beef okonomiyaki. The skewers were good but not great; I felt the pork belly was a tad salty, and some of the pieces of the beef were slightly overcooked + chewy. The black cod was flaky but I wish it was marinated a bit more with the miso for stronger flavor. I wish I did not order the spring roll or the foil wrapped salmon. The spring roll was soggy bc the filling inside was so damp and lacked seasoning & flavor. The salmon was very dry, but the mushrooms were flavorful and juicy. Definitely recommend reservations or be ready to wait at least 45 minutes. The inside is quite small, tables as well, so be ready to sit pretty close to your neighboring patrons. Very lively atmosphere that can get loud, but could also be fun!

We ordered the mentaiko pasta, miso black cod and a paper crane to drink. The pasta was great, and had a little spicy kick to it, and the miso black cod was so good!! Very umami flavor with the mushrooms. Delicious cocktail as well. Overall really impressed with the meal- and we had a really attentive waiter- he made sure we were taken care of and refilled our waters pretty often. Will definitely be back to try rolls and the ramen!

Highly recommend the iyasare kakiage tempura, wish it had some less sweet potatoes and more of the other ingredients, but overall it was savory and very sweet from the sweet potatoes. I enjoyed the kara-age curry rice which is a japanese style fried chicken thighs in a tokyo style curry sauce, a small salad, and koshihikari rice. They gave sooooo much kara-age chicken and it was quite filling. Good dish to share with others. Lastly, we had to try the iyasare mentaiko pasta which is a spicy cod ros, spaghetti, ikura, shiso, and kaiware. It's quite heavy and creamy, but definitely worth trying if you like the ingredients!

The Saba Bouzushi stood out to me because it reminded of Filipino paksiw but as a roll! The Gindara was buttery and soft and had a yummy smoky flavor. The Nabe was perfect for a rainy evening - hearty, fresh, and so well balanced in flavor (I loved the yuzu kosho the had us add for a citrusy, peppery flavor)
