MIJORI JAPANESE RESTAURANT - Oakland

Quality Sushi in the Bay. Great service and atmosphere. A must stop everytime im in the Bay.Food: 5/5

MijoriI was seated right away. However, while others after me were told to sit anywhere, I was sitting towards the back and would have preferred a window. In fairness, I did not ask as this was my first time. For reference, there may have been three tables being used, one with a couple of people and the other two with individuals, so not busy.)It took a very long time after being seated to even being asked what I wanted. Even something as simple as water, so while I had planned on staying. I ended up food to go. I was tempted to walk out and leave prior to ordering, not only for not being offered something to drink, but menu was really dirty.Re wait. in fairness, it felt like a hometown place relaxed and slower, but water would have made the difference.The menu, FORTUNATELY, is not complete as I have a couple of sushi rolls that I always try first at a new restaurant just to gauge it against others. they were not listed. Dragon roll and Caterpillar.The lady who helped me was genuinely nice when I asked for the 2 rolls. However, the quality of the rolls were sub par.The avocado appears to have been sitting out, and some of the elements of the sushi as a whole did not look or taste as fresh. I was there early evening, perhaps avocado had been from lunch or at even earlier.)Nothing special, ... may return for a second chance.FYI, my pics make the food look brighter than what was truth.

Great sushi and selection of other Japanese dishes at reasonable prices. Unassuming on the outside but busy inside. Despite this, we were able to be seated and served miso soup immediately, and overall the servers were fast, attentive, and nice. Would recommend and come back.My husband got the salmon combo dinner. Large portion and tasted great. I got the Y2K role which was also quite tasty.

Decent restaurant. We went here for dinner during the week day and seating was pretty easy. We got seated right away and ordered a set for each of us plus some appetizers. However, the kaarage were a bit disappointing? It was not the usual kaarage we have eaten like other Japanese restaurants. The kaarage here was coated with tempura flour so it was different. I’ve had ordered take out from here before and their sushi were good.

The couple who have owned this place for decades have done an incredible job. I 'm reminded of Korean sushi spots on the East Coast where I grew up.I just figured out they have a hoedopbap on the menu but it 's called something like fish over rice Korean style . If you 've never tried it I recommend it over getting the chirashi. Otherwise, treat yourself to the delux nigiri combo, which is the best sushi deal in town
