Where is the Best Sushi in Oakland, California?
I love this place!they have friendly serivce and great food, I have gone here for over two years and never get tired of it. My favorite roll is the y2k roll which is a tempura roll topped with avocado and eel and drizzled with a teriyaki glaze this is a must if you go, the raw fish also taste extremely fresh and they have great udon.I have been to a lot of sushi resturants and this is by far my favorite it’s also very affordable, it’s also a great place to have dinner after or before seeing a movie(The Grand Lake) is just down the street.So if your in the Lake Merrit district and want some tasty sushi stop by Mijori you WILL not be disappointed!Pros + affordable,service,ambienceCons – cramped,limited parking,long waits on certain nights
I don’t like the chairs here because, well, I slouch and these chairs make me feel like I’m leaning forward. The food is good. The noodles are the main attraction. To me, it’s not really traditional style. If it was, I would rate it lower. Since it’s not, it moves higher. Anyway, both the udon and soba noodles are nice and fresh. The broth is lighter than most, almost to the point of not being flavorful enough. But only almost. I’ve had the udon with shrimp which I wasn’t a big fan of. The pork and beef offerings are much better.
There was once a time when I could justify tolerating a clueless restaurant staff that does not understand the basics of seating and quality customer service, in order to enjoy moderately priced and average quality fish. However, now that they have raised their prices, there is no real reason for putting up with the extremely long waits and often negligent staff (with the exception of a few stellar ladies who have been there for a while). This establishment has been struggling with its management since day one and now with the increased prices they really need to make some improvements to subsidize the lower economical advantages that used to be it’s claim to fame. Maybe the owners should hire a consultant. Oh also try to avoid going in parties larger than four as they have a horrible time figuring out how to accomidate your party and you’ll end up waiting even longer than it might seem when reading these reviews.Pros + Even though prices are on the rise, they are still competitive
From the moment I walked into this exquisitely humble restaraunt I was greeted with a “hello”, a head nod, a “welcome”, or a japanese phrase by every single employee I crossed whether they were at a table or not. The staff has a way of making you feel very VIP from the valet to the manager retrieving our coat check. I’ve been a server in the Napa Valley for many years and have just moved to SF to continue in this industry. Restaraunts are a second nature to me, a home away from home. Being taken care of without knowing anyone to “hook it up” is exceptional and comforting.The food: simply delicious. Although expensive and quaintly portioned, I enjoyed my entire meal. There were three of us, all in the industry.The reason for the absence of my 5th star is the service we experienced. Our server, whose name was David, started out by asking if we had dined previously at Ozumo. After saying this was our first time he proceeded to tell us that they “kick a$$ here” and that he would “show u
Love.. Love.. Love! Totally in love with this restaurant. Where should i begin? First, the price is unbeatable. Second, the food is extremely delicious (some of my favorite are Caterpillar & Rainbow Roll, Nabeyaki & Teriyaki Udon, Salmon Bento). Last, great service & lovely atmosphere. I never been to other lunch spot in downtown who offer better customer service with a beautiful small garden right in front . My company always order catering from them since 2 years ago and never face any disapointment at all. I’m highly recomment this restaurant.Pros + Great Value for Affordable Price & Food Quality. Beautiful Ambiance & Great Service.Cons – During busy hour, you might have to wait in line to order ( I never wait more than 5 minutes, it goes very quick). But it is totally worth it.
