Right next to Oakland's Lake Merritt and its "necklace of lights" is the ever-popular Coach Sushi. Coach Sushi serves up high quality sushi of all your favorite varieties along with a full slate of other Japanese dishes. The most popular part of Coach Sushi, however, is their bottomless sake for USD3.50, which upon ordering gets you your own square cedar box which continues to be refilled frequently until you leave.
Sushi, Tapas, Sake, Beer, Happy Hour
Mijori is a solid option for those in search of sushi in the Grand Lake area of Oakland. Because this place is very popular and cozy (read: small), the wait can be long. Order the Double Eagle roll and enjoy the complimentary bowl of miso soup. Also on the menu you'll find sashimi, tempura, bento boxes and other Japanese standards. Mijori offers takeout as well. Please note that there is a USD 15 minimum if you need to use a credit card.
Koryo sushi offers a wide variety of items from sushi and sashimi to tempura, teriyaki and udon, just to name a few. Also we're open late!
Kotobuki
Kansai
Kansai is located in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood, very close to the Macarthur BART station. This popular restaurant offers an extensive Japanese and sushi menu, and has Happy Hour specials on sushi rolls. Another popular aspect of Kansai is that it's open past midnight, which is always a nice find. The service is attentive, but if you need something, all tables feature little buttons that can summon your server for you.
