Best Sushi Restaurants in Upper Lake

This was the best sushi we’ve had in the Bay Area. Bar none. Note: when we first seated, we were seated next to a family party that had a lot of active toddlers (the noise level was at times a bit disruptive.) Not sure if the acoustics might have been elsewhere in the restaurant. It’s still 5⭐️ from us!

Everything is perfect here in every way except the table vs. tableware sizes. Their service plates are beautiful and of generous size. The tables are just barely large enough to seat either 2 or 4 persons. If you order more than 2 0r 3 items at once things get tight immediately. Item number 3 or 4 appears and if you find the food is so good that you have taken a little time to savor and appreciate each just a bit, the runner is not prepared to cope and just stands there, holding the new dish and looking non-plussed. Our runner was not prepared to move items around on existing plates to reduce density. So the diners had to do it and messy plates were produced. Clearly the space is already filled with tables, so larger ones are not an option. On our future visits, we will order only 2 items at a time and order new ones when service plates can be removed timely. BUT the great food is the thing, after all. We both judged this to be the best sushi meal we have eaten outside of Japan, so we are more than willing to drive in from Marin. FIVE STARS in every category that really matters! We shall return soon and often.

I’ve been coming here from the mid 90’s and it never disappoints! Great food and great atmosphere! The bartender is fantastic and bingo is great fun (even if you don’t win).

The drinks are absolutely amazing! The gummi bear martini was sooooo good! Gotta try it!

Wonderful selection of unique sushi rolls, well presented and delicious. The French Kiss roll was especially good.
