Best Creative Japanese Restaurants in Oakland

Had our favorite sushi in Pittsburgh by far with the 15 course Omakase experience. Alan's menu (our sushi Chef) was perfect. We had the pleasure of experiencing a wide variety of food, and each course itself was amazing. This was coupled with fantastic service by the knowledgeable and attentive Noah, making for an awesome experience. Even if you don't want to do the Thursday Omakase experience, you have to try this place. Between the food, the service, and the views it should be on your list if you love sushi.

It’s unfortunate that my date and I only have two mouths and two stomachs total between us, because I absolutely wouldn’t feel bad about ordering the entire menu in one sitting. Well, my wallet might. We did order a lot, though, and we ended up closing down the place. The ambience was sexy and upbeat (not the drowsy kind of sexy, you know what I mean). It paired perfectly with the cocktails and a bottle of sake, and the staff were super stoked to give recommendations based on what we were feeling. The food came out as it was prepared, plated to perfection and ready to share. Did we order too much? I mean, it looked like it, but we ate every crumb. I’d have licked the plate if I didn’t like my outfit so much. And like I said, we closed down the place but never felt like we were being annoying or rushed out. Next time I come back, I’m ordering the rest of the menu.

Came here for my besties birthday. Patrick was wonderful!!!! Thank you Gi-Jin!
