Angry Fish — Restaurant in Castro Valley

Our first visit was pleasant. The server was friendly and the food was good. It’s very chilly inside so be sure to bring a jacket if you get cold easily. There is one restroom that is fairly well maintained but the floor was a bit wet. Parking is plentiful at lunch time.

My favorite items were the uni nigiri ($20 2pc) and ankimo spoons ($8.95 2pc). The uni was great quality and did not have a fishy taste. If I had the budget, I would’ve gotten two orders. I did order the ankimo as nigiri but got the spoons instead so there was a bit of miscommunication. Luckily, it was still delicious.

I would pass on the Birds Nest ($18 2pc) because it’s hard to eat and not a very pleasant eating experience. All the parts of it were good but it just didn’t work together and it was hard to eat. The salmon was a bit thick and there wasn’t enough rice. Without soy sauce, I’m not sure I could’ve gotten it down.

The rolls were average, Fairytale ($15.95) and Dragon ($13.95), but the ratio of toppings to rice was good. The 14-piece sashimi combo ($31.95) doesn’t come with a lot of variety of fish but good nonetheless. It also comes with a large portion of miso soup and salad. We also got one bowl of sushi rice on the side which they didn’t add to the bill.

We had leftovers so the server helped pack up our food for us which always elevates the dining experience. A service fee of 15% is already added to the bill and that’s fine with me as I usually tip more. They do take payment at the table with a tablet and you can add more tip if you’d like.

If I’m in the area and craving sushi, I wouldn’t mind coming back. I’m interested in their raw oyster promotions and trying...

Stopped in and tried a few different things at Angry Fish. Gave their sashimi combo a try- really loved the presentation of the sashimi and all cuts were great, generous with absolutely no fishy flavor and super fresh. I also had the king on fire roll and loved again its presentation as it comes out flaming and the flavor that imparts on the roll. Also enjoyed the deep-fried rolls they had here! Lastly, wanted to get a taste of the curry here and thought it was pretty decent, very peppery and found both the color and texture a bit off for me personally. They curry looked closer to a peanut butter color and when cooling had a rubbery texture seeming to have some corn starch slurry in its recipe, something I was surprised to think? It still tasted pretty great and I had it on its own; maybe the flavor and texture compliments with their katsu better.

One thing I wanted to say was that the service was fantastic, our server was really attentive and made for a great dining experience. I was happy he took care of our table. I really also enjoyed the dining space, with lots of windows that were close to the diner's height so you get a nice view outside but still feeling like an intimate space. We could also see the cook's working which made for...

A member of our gourmand group had lunch at Angry Fish a couple of days ago and was impressed with the food and the prices. He recommended it to our group and we visited for dinner on Friday night. The selection was impressive and every dish was fresh and tasty. Jackie, our server, was among one of the best we have seen. He was quick, courteous, patient, and an absolute delight. Despite a packed house, he answered each and every question this group of seniors presented, he also took the initiative to repeat the answers or his recommendations to those sitting at the other end of the table since we were a pretty big group. Every request, be it extra napkins, chopsticks, replacement of dishes, etc. etc. were promptly fulfilled with smiles and super efficiency. We never have to ask for anything twice, he remembers everything. Every dish he recommended was excellent. We were all very happy with the food and are super impressed with the...
