San Francisco-Area Sushi That Punches WAY Above Its Price!

Okay okay, title a little clickbaity, my bad fam 🧎🧎 It's actually in Oakland, but just a 20-minute 🚗 drive from SF! This place feels like a hidden gem for affordable omakase-style sushi. In terms of skill, flavor, and freshness, it honestly beats many $100+ spots. Must-Order (No-Brainer Edition): My go-to order every time is the 🍣 Sushi Combo and the 🐟 Sashimi Combo, plus a couple of small dishes on the side. Perfect for one person! 🍣 Sushi Combo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ($25 🔪 — feels like charity at this price!) On the menu as Nigiri Combo — includes 7 pieces of nigiri + 1 small hand roll. You get to pick all 7! Includes my fave Kanpachi — so flavorful. The best part? They're already seasoned like in an omakase — no extra soy sauce or wasabi needed!! Unreal value. ✅ Must-pick fish: Kanpachi (Amberjack) & Kurodai (Black Snapper) — so good! ❌ Skip: Hamachi (Yellowtail) and Inari (Tofu Pouch) — basic filler. 💡 The 5 premium add-ons are worth it too! Hotate (Hokkaido Scallop) is super fresh — great if you're into that (I'm neutral). 🐟 Sashimi Combo 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ($35 🔪) Menu: Sashimi Combo — 16 pieces total (8 types of fish, 2 slices each). Insane value! You can’t choose the fish (sad), but almost all are delicious and — most importantly — SUPER fresh!! If you're not a huge sashimi person, share one combo between two to try, then order more of what you like. Seriously, 7 pieces of quality nigiri for $25?! I suspect sorcery 🧙‍♂️. Even online reviews say local office workers get this 3-4 times a week for lunch. Probably runs on volume! 🍎 The place is small but popular. If I arrive around 5-5:30 PM, there's usually only one table left. There's also a long bar.
