This is a wonderful Japanese restaurant. There is often a wait for a table, but the waits are usually short. The rolls are wonderful. My favorite is the Dragon roll. There is a large menu with Japanese salads, sushi, bento boxes, sashimi, noodles and tempura.

This is my favorite sushi place in Berkeley! So fresh and delicious and the staff are all very friendly. On weekends there is ALWAYS a wait but it usually goes pretty quickly in my experience.

As usual Kerala delivers . Expect a wait - they don’t take reservations. But the wait is worth it. The sushi of course but the robata is to die for. I recommend the lamb chop and the black cod and the stuffed
After many years, this sushi and Japanese restaurant is still quite good and popular. The fish in my sashimi was fresh, the clam miso was quite hot (hate it when miso is like warm which often is many sushi restaurants). The service was pretty fast though they were busy as always.

There was no hesitation to order salmon or any seafood dish since I know it would be fresh.

Terrific staff, excellent food, but be prepared to wait for seating. When crowded, the small space can get quite noisy.

This place is great, they make everything just right, it is a bit on the pricy side but well worth it. Portions are satisfying.I have been coming here for years and they are always right on the spot with food and service. The quality is very consistent.The fish is always fresh, the Uni is always delicious, the lobster tail is fantastic, the sobas are superb, the tempura is crispy and the batter is so light. And then there is Robata, yum.I could write poems about their food.They also have a great sake bar, with some delicious cold sakes.They take great care in the presentation, with beautiful plates and sake sets.They have had the same staff more or less for more than a decade, you get to know the staff which makes the dining experience even more satisfying. Kimi and Kuneo will always welcome you with a smile.I guess it is obvious that I love this place.
