Great Food, Missing Chopsticks
My experience ordering online has been consistently disappointing. I've ordered many times and have never received chopsticks. How are customers expected to eat sushi without them?
By hand? The food itself is excellent, receiving a perfect score, but the lack of essential utensils is a significant oversight in service.

Excellent Nigiri, Worth the Ambiance Trade-off
I feel incredibly fortunate to live just a couple of blocks away from this great and somewhat hidden gem! Each visit, I opt to sit by the bar and savor the very high quality nigiri, which the chef meticulously prepares. While the decor and ambiance aren't particularly "sexy" or mood-setting, and there's a large TV showing sports, I honestly don't mind because I come here for the sushi, and they consistently deliver.
Furthermore, their specials often feature rare in-season fish from Japan that I rarely get to taste elsewhere. I highly recommend this spot and find myself returning often.

Superior Sushi, Half the Price!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! As someone from Marin, I can confidently say the sushi quality here is superior and remarkably half the price of anywhere in my hometown. The tuna was particularly spectacular.
The food received a perfect score of 5, and the atmosphere was equally impressive with a score of 5. The service was also excellent, rated at 5. For dinner, the price per person was between $50–100.

Our Favorite Neighborhood Dinner Spot!
Our experience at this restaurant has been fantastic, making it our favorite spot for dinner. We've tried nearly all of their specialty rolls, and each one comes highly recommended. It's wonderful having this restaurant in our neighborhood.

Terrible Service for Delivery Drivers
My experience at this restaurant was marked by terrible service, particularly towards Doordash delivery people. They promise a 5-minute wait for order release but consistently make drivers wait 30 minutes. When questioned about the delay, staff members turn their backs and walk away, which I found to be totally disrespectful.

Local Favorite for Delicious Sushi
This is my local favorite. I had a really delicious sushi experience, especially the nigiri, and it was for a good price. I’d recommend their Hamachi Belly, Hamachi, or Maguro Nigiri.
If you’re looking for something more flavorful, then Lion King is pretty good. Their special roll 501 is good, but the fried shallots and raw onion are quite overpowering.

Yuubi: Fresh Fish, Fair Prices, Great Service!
We love supporting local restaurants like Yuubi. Our experience was wonderful; they are so kind to our family and kids. The fish is incredibly fresh and constantly rotating, and the prices are very fair.
We enjoy dining in as they treat us so well. A big plus for us is that they are Warriors fans and play the games on basketball night! Go Yuubi!

Pleasant Surprise with Delicious Sushi
What a pleasant surprise! From the outside, Yuubi doesn't look like much, which made me hesitant to try it. However, I'm so happy we did.
The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious. I will definitely go back. Yummy!

Mediocre Sushi and Loud Music
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. If you're looking for mediocre sushi in a run-down sports bar with inattentive staff, this is your place. The miso soup was the only good dish; the rest were not so good.
The spider roll was terrible. To top it off, we were blasted with loud and aggressive hip hop, which was not pleasant.
