This place moved from another location and it actually has a group of "followers". A really great sushi experience. Rivals much more expensive restaurants and in an area where you can fall over sideways and find a sushi restaurant, it's really good when you find one that stands out. You won't be disappointed if you come here.

We were up north for a quick weekend getaway, and were in desperate need of some dinner. The situation was so desperate, in fact, that we (briefly) considered ordering the hotel's room service. Thank goodness our frugal nature won out, and our quick Yelp search brought us here.Our requirements that night were pretty easy: not too expensive, nothing we'd have to get dressed up for and within a 15 minute drive from the hotel. The fact that this is a Japanese restaurant certainly didn't hurt!We arrived kind of late on a Saturday night, but they were still open and doing a brisk business. We were shown to a table right away, and our requested hot tea was brought out quickly.I'm fairly predictable, so it should be no surprise that once I saw saba as an entree item, I stopped looking at the menu. =) I ended up getting a dinner combination of teriyaki salmon and the saba shioyak. It came with rice, miso soup and a salad. My husband ordered the chicken teriyaki entree, and added a spicy tuna roll (again, should not be a surprise!)Though they were busy (lots of large groups), our food came out pretty quickly. The soup, salad and rolls all came out first, and they were tasty. I actually really enjoyed the salad; the dressing was flavorful without being overpowering.The main dishes came out soon after, and I was surprised by how large the fish servings were. I was expecting smaller pieces of fish - especially the saba - but they were generous cuts. And it was filling! Both fish pieces were cooked to perfection, flaky and bursting with flavor (and bristling with bones, so pluck carefully!) The entrees also came with a small ramekin full of cooked vegetables - but they weren't just boiled or steamed. They were served in a truly yummy sauce of undetermined origin, but which we both definitely enjoyed. I think it might have been mayonnaise based? It was very good, whatever it was!About the only knock against this place is that the service lagged towards the end. The restaurant started to clear out while we ate, though they had a good to-go business going as well. But, we had to ask twice for water and tea refills, and had to wait an inordinate amount of time for our bill to be delivered and picked up (which is a huge pet peeve of mine).Other than that, though, we both enjoyed the meal. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. We left feeling satiated and happy, and that's the best review I can ever give a place.
6. Akaya Sushi & Robata
Reviewed By BigDMI
Went for for lunch and was surprised as to the menu choice, not typical Japanese menu. All of us ordered bento boxes, which can be ordered as 2 or 3 food item choices. I ordered the teriyaki salmon, spicy tuna roll, and the sashimi. Order choices and variations include chicken, soft shell crab, tempura, pork, or beef. The box comes with miso soup, salad, and rice. Other lunch choices were chawanmushi, toro tartar, nabbeyaki udon, and chirashi bowl. Staff were very nice and helpful. Food was tasty and fresh.

Decent food and very nice prices for fresh sushi. Tiny place across the street from Mt. SAC. Good for lunch for students.
4. Domo Sushi & Roll
Reviewed By caltravelgal
I've only had food to go from Domo, but it's always been good. Miso soup, tender teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, veggies...yum!Located across street from a college near the corner of Temple and Grand. Popular with the lunch crowd and for good reasons. Reasonable prices too.

I was craving sushi and being new to town wasnât sure where to go so I looked in trip advisor for recommendations. Great customer service! Neat atmosphere, interesting dishes, not your typical sushi restaurant. Definitely better than Benihana. I had the spicy tuna tartare and the Golden Gate roll. Very good! The only thing I would have changed was the chef added soy sauce to most dishes. It could have been me (not a soy sauce fan) I felt it made the tartare salty. Would definitely eat here again.

I have tried every sushi place that is worth trying in my neighborhood. Everyone good new ones, I will go try. This one is it!! I have introduced this to my friends and family. I have had lunch and dinner here. Sat at the booth, the table, the private dinning and the sushi bar. At every price point, the chef will not disappoint. It may not rival the great places in Japan but it does come close enough to the fish quality that has traveled thousands miles. Hands down, this is the place for good Japanese food outside of J town and Japan. I really should be so honest because there is already a good wait for lunch when I come here. If you don't know what to order, look at the specials on the board by the sushi bar. That will be a great start.
