San Francisco-Area Sushi That Punches WAY Above Its Price!
Okay okay, title a little clickbaity, my bad fam π§π§ It's actually in Oakland, but just a 20-minute π 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 π£ Sushi Combo and the π Sashimi Combo, plus a couple of small dishes on the side. Perfect for one person! π£ Sushi Combo πππππ ($25 πͺ β feels like charity at this price!) On the menu as Nigiri Combo β includes 7 pieces of nigiri + 1 small hand roll. You get to pick all 7! Includes my fave Kanpachi β so flavorful. The best part? They're already seasoned like in an omakase β no extra soy sauce or wasabi needed!! Unreal value. β Must-pick fish: Kanpachi (Amberjack) & Kurodai (Black Snapper) β so good! β Skip: Hamachi (Yellowtail) and Inari (Tofu Pouch) β basic filler. π‘ The 5 premium add-ons are worth it too! Hotate (Hokkaido Scallop) is super fresh β great if you're into that (I'm neutral). π Sashimi Combo πππππ ($35 πͺ) Menu: Sashimi Combo β 16 pieces total (8 types of fish, 2 slices each). Insane value! You canβt choose the fish (sad), but almost all are delicious and β most importantly β 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 π§ββοΈ. Even online reviews say local office workers get this 3-4 times a week for lunch. Probably runs on volume! π 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. Pro tip: join the waitlist on Yelp! π Mujiri π 6501 San Pablo Ave B, Oakland, CA 94608 #SanFranciscoFood #BayAreaLife #SFBayArea #OaklandEats #JapaneseFood #SushiLover #BayAreaFoodie #AffordableLuxury #HiddenGem
