unpleasant surprise on a special occasion

by tomberkeley at Citysearch

We won't be returning, and unfortunately can't recommend it. We sent something back after tasting it, the server admitted it was frozen not fresh, and the manager wouldn't take the small charge off our bill... ow!

• Pros: sorry
• Cons: some is frozen

Reminiscient of Tokyo

by stainlessmirk at Citysearch

I think it's the way the floor plan is set up (actually I don't know), this place reminds me a lot of Tokyo itself. I had a great experience here, the food was good and not pricey unlike many Japanese places, great Spicy Tuna HandRoll (my favorite sushi), and surprisingly, not crowded.

• Pros: not crowded, inexpensive

Tachi is really tough to beat

by sjc1204 at Citysearch

Tachibana serves some of the best sushi in the area. If you focus on the quality and portion sizes of the fish served, it's tough to fined a better place to go. The sushi chefs are very solid in their craft and often remember preferences even if 3 months have passed between visits.

Kirala, in Berkely, does have a better grill and sake bar, but the wait times at Kirala can ruin an evening.

Give Tachi a try.

Best sushi experience. My friend and I walked in a little before 8 and was so surprised to see the restaurant half empty--an atypical experience for this usually crowded sushi spot. As a result, the service was exceptional. Our tea cup was never empty, the food came almost instantly, and the noise level was low. The nigiris are excellent as always, with large thick cuts so tender they felt like chilled butter going down my throat.

• Pros: Exceptional food, Friendly service, Great neighborhood
• Cons: , Crowded

check out kirala

Tuesday is a great day to go for sushi and Tachibanal is no exception. Try the poki, garlic albacore or the toro. We usualy get the gyoza or the agedashi dofu for an apetizer. Food is good ( slightly over priced) but they are open until 10pm!

Service leaves much to be disired. If it werent for the continual poor service( a standard in the bay area) I would always recommend.
