Picked up chirashi and 49er + spicy tuna roll from this neighborhood spot. Super fresh tasting and great value in the chirashi bowl. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

Delicious and professional sushi, made by a guy who left a previous establishment I frequented, and just as good. Nice food, all for a relatively cheap price. And no quality was sacrificed. You get experience and affordability. And of course I love the complementary candies :)

The best neighborhood sushi! Owners are SO nice. They always go above and beyond to make you feel like family. Order from here, don’t think twice.

Hey theyre open for dinner again to eat inside. You have to call them for reservations, which is not well communicated.

Great sushi and nigiri reasonably priced. Lunch special is a good deal. Not a lot of seating but it was mostly empty when we went so we didn’t have to wait. There’s also bar seating if you don’t mind that

Always a good value, Tanuki serves premium Japanese food. Friendly, efficient service, creative sushi bar, excellent standard cooked fare! One of our favorites!

Nice place with a wide range of really good food. Can be a bit noisy sometimes and they do have an old TV that could be a distraction (or a selling point I suppose). The Giants game was on when we were there last time.

We ordered varieties of sashimi and cooked rolls, everything was delicious. Staffs were extremely friendly, however, parking is somewhat to find. I think we circled around the block for 20 minutes. I would definitely come back again.

Neighborhood sushi restaurant that serves amazing and fresh fish. Amaebi and Toro tuna are must-haves. Will come back again and give it a try yourself 🍙🍣🎏🐟🐠🌈😃

Nice and quiet small restaurant. Great food and service. Had teriyaki dinner and it included miso, salad, and rice.

Review №17

The staff is friendly and service is quick. However, the dragon rolls and bamboo rolls were not that good. Also, this place is shown on the map as an average-priced restaurant. The restaurant setting and the food are average. But the price turns out almost the same as if you go to a high end sushi bar.

If your desire is a relaxed Japanese restaurant with a casual vibe, I would suggest you make efforts to get in to eat here. One of a kind with a good vibe and delicious options of Japanese delicacy.

Wow - surprise, surprise... amazing quality, incredibly clean this place is a jewel. Even the take-out is meticulous prepared. They even slice and pickle their own ginger. Jiro would be proud ;)

Amazing sashimi- cuts were generous and so fresh! Everything else was great too- delicious udon and perfectly steamed chawanmushi. Really nice neighborhood place. The staff gave us complimentary oranges (most delicious orange I have ever had) and ice cream after our meal.

The sushi was nice however the teriyaki rice isnt what Id call traditional. Presentation is also quite western and I see why but the sushi here is great.

My parents have been going here since before my mom was pregnant with me! We love Aki, the sushi chef. He knows everyone in the neighborhood and always makes the best, freshest sushi in the Richmond!

Stopped by for a quick bite before closure on a Friday night. Seems like a place that the locals frequent. Not pretentious. Good, cheerful service. The avocado rolls had generous amounts of excellent avocado, and shiitake nigiri were an interesting find, design-wise (ok tasting, too).

This is a cozy neighborhood spot for sushi in the inner Richmond. The lunch specials are great, service is excellent and always easy to get a table or sit at the bar. My coworkers and I come here almost once a week and are never disappointed. The sushi chef is always on his game and doesnt try too hard to get real crazy.The place is kind of hard to see from California if youre in a car, especially if the busses are parked at the stop at 6th Ave. Even on foot I sometimes walk right past the door until I see the big window, we come from our office on 8th Ave.
