This little hole in the wall on College Avenue in Oakland delivers top notch Sushi prepared by its expert Itamae. It is a small place designed for a discerning clientele and delivers either hand picked sushi on its list, with available variations such as quail egg added to its sea urchin hand rolls (very tasty).

We have been coming here for many years sporadically. It is my husbands favorite sushi place in Rockridge.

I like their sushi and ambiance. Pretty fresh fish and good tasting. I didn’t try their other soups or others dishes.

Love the food here and especially love sushi specials. Pictured is A5 wagyu and a salmon asparagus roll.

Decent soba and tempura, but the kitchen needs to improve its sad, soggy chicken karaage. The order came very late, after we had finished everything else. My husband and I each had a bite and then sent it back and asked our server to remove the almost $9.00 charge for this order from the bill. It was a bad way to end a meal.

Food great. Service great and helpful. Closed down a bit early (they stopped seating at 830-845, I think) but maybe there’s a local ordinance or something.

My favorite sushi place! The fish is always super fresh, I’ve never had anything subpar here, and I’ve been coming here for many years. I also love the unagi, it’s better than other sushi restaurants. The appetizers are great, and even the soup and salad are better than other places. I’ve seen the local organic salad mix being delivered before too (the dressing they make is bomb!), so they probably use other local produce whenever possible as well. The udon is also very good, it tastes clean, but is also perfectly seasoned and every ingredient is done well. The prices are good too! I wish I still lived near here so I could go all the time. Even in SF, I haven’t found a place that is a good as Uzen that isn’t crazy expensive.

I had an omakase of three people. The bill was well over $300.00. The food was terrible. Trust me, I’ve eaten sushi over 30 years, even in Japan. And this place ranks in the bottom of the bottom. Just don’t do it. I wouldn’t come back even if it is free and you stick a gun to my head.

Wait staff was so wonderful, walking our large group through the different menu items and what to expect. The rolls weren’t insanely large, instead wonderfully flavorful, and very high quality. Splitting the bill was a snap as we let them know ahead of time and there was no rush because we kept ordering more fish and Saki. This place is the best! Will definitely be back!!
