Akemi Sushi

I happened to go to Castro Valley Marketplace today. I walked by and The sushi at Akemi looked fresh. The young lady at tge front said hello and asked if I had any questions about Akemi. I asked about the eel and some rolls. She was courteous and I ordered some delicious made-to-order sushi. The chef was prompt, professional in attire, and just as courteous as the young lady in front. I tasted the dragon roll. Delicious. Fresh. Beautifully presented. I'll be back soon! Nice experience with courteous polite service and delicious fresh sushi-- Excellent!

Best sushi in the Bay Area hands down. Don't let the little hole in the wall grocery store vibe fool you.

They have probably the best quality sushi roll I’ve had. Their toro roll that has fresh toro, avocado, and asparagus was absolutely fantastic. Their lion king roll was also delicious. The freshness and quality of their rolls is great. Its a little bit more expensive than other sushi places but I think the quality and service definitely is why. Its just gooooood.

Food was very average and the portions were small. Spent $150 for a family of 5, it fed 3. This place would be great for a quick bite while at the Market itself. I won’t go out of my way in the future to order and take it home.

Ordered over the phone. When I came to pickup they let me know one of the ingredients of the items I ordered they were out of. They should have called me to let me know. Service here is unacceptable. Also there is no email to contact them to let them know what happened.

If you live around Castro Valley, San Leandro, or Hayward and want a delicious Lion King roll, please come by here and try theirs. The best I've had so far in my life. I also love their Truffle Blue fin roll, their ikura and Hotate Nigiri. Awesome price and fresh ingredients! TBH, it's kinda like a hidden !

My son’s favorite lion king roll

Ok sushi, fast service. Clean place. Difficult to find inside a store or food hall type of set up. Overall cool vibe though

Fish is sliced so thinly in the “salmon blossom roll” - there’s hardly any fish in this roll, but yet it costs $18 I understand COVID is causing costs to skyrocket with ingredients, but this is absurd!
