Best Japanese Restaurants in Blackhawk

The food and service at Nobu can’t be beat. Every dish, spot on perfect. Our server & team were phenomenal. He curated our food selections & really nailed it. Food portions are small. Works for me but gets expensive trying to satiate a young guy. I’d love to see the “tacos” be sized for at least two bites. We ate in the atrium area at Nobu Palo Alto. It is probably lovely in the summer when you can see the garden. On a chilly, rainy November night, it felt a bit like being in the overflow area. Could perhaps be made more inviting with a little attention.

Waiting Area Wait time was Great... Our waiter was slow with her delivery, but ii also see she may have been overwhelmed by the many requests from the other pardon so ii give this visit a C+ MY family eat at Uncle Bennie as we call it (Benihanas) every month so based on my greatest experience yesterday's dinner experience was a C grade

Always the best, freshest and creative rolls and nigiri sushi anywhere in the Diablo Valley. Not cheap but worth it. And Chris is a great, classy, attentive waiter who make Sasa a memorable experience

Haba Japan delivers a consistent experience. The chef was entertaining. The food was excellent. The chicken was very tender. We enjoyed watching the food being cooked before us. Tables sit 8 but we were seated in a manner that allowed us to converse with the people in our group. Lots of birthdays were being celebrated last night so it was loud. The birthday celebrant received a pineapple dessert. Plenty of parking in the strip center. Not a fancy place but the food and service se excellent. Good value.

Delicious spicy edamame. The mixed tempura was light and tasty. The accompanying sauce was a bit bland, but we augmented it with some wasabi and it was quite good. We shared a Caterpillar Roll and a Rainbow Roll, and both were great. Friday night noise level inside was quite high so we were offered an outside table, which was nice but a bit chilly, and of course lacked the ambience of the interior decor. The cheesecake for dessert was tasty, but a bit pricey for the portion size. The service was friendly and attentive. All in all a pleasant dining experience. We'll go back.
