This place seriously never disappointsIt was a hot day but their fish was super fresh. This is really important to me since Im pregnant right now and can only eat a selection of fish and everything we had was super fresh and clean.Their servers are all very attentive even though theyre usually super busy. They stopped by multiple times to check if we need anything, refilled our water without us having to ask, etc.They have a huge parking lot too.

Wow. We were not expecting such a great value for money sushi joint that is quite upscale in the East Bay. The interior is somewhat modern yet showing a bit of cost-consciousness. Its clean. Its pleasant.Food is quite good in many ways. Nothing truly blows you away but everything is way above average. The sushi is quite fresh. The hwoe-dup-bap plentiful and generous. Tonkatsu is well done. A great place all around. But then there comes the reasonable price and makes you truly appreciate Ukai at a whole another level.Locals love it. The visitors love it. Will return when around.

Quality sushi stop. Plenty of rolls to choose from. Innovative appetizers (we had the Salmon Caprese). Trifish roll was awesome. The Salmon Teriyaki combo meal came with plenty of food.

Good food here. Good people. Must make reservations. The wait is long. I’m lucky I made one but there were people that waited. Affordable here. Try their specials. Usually good. The salmon. Yum! I’d go back for the shrimps coconut. Loved the muscles and the dessert was good too.

Really enjoyable dinner here. Nigiri pieces fresh and delicious, sushi rolls excellent size, and spicy beef dish with the dinner combo was out of control good. I’ve had spicy in my day and this was one of the spicier dishes I’ve had. Still, the flavor was so amazing it didn’t stop me. Can’t wait to return!

This place is a gem. Found it randomly after a hike in the area.Walk in and immediately get transferred into an authentic Japanese restaurant. We came for a late lunch. The fish was so fresh! Every sushi roll melted in your mouth. Staff was attentive. Highly recommend.We had a few rolls and our favorites we’re the cherry blossom, hurricane, and lion king.

Overall fantastic experience every time. The food is great, the service is exceptional (especially Kate, Rika and the younger gentleman). This is a neighborhood favorite, and I’m so grateful this restaurant is a few mins from home. No matter the occasion, Ukai does not disappoint!! Highly recommend for folks who value quality Japanese food. The sushi is fire, the karaage is perfect, the oysters are so fresh, and the sake is great. All in all, this is a wonderful restaurant for families, date night, or even a quiet solo meal.
