Hinata Sushi Kitchen

Absolutely delicious sushi experience. Table-serve almost all-you-can-eat at reasonable price. Excellent sashimi cuts.

I came here for lunch for 2 and it was great! All the fish was really fresh and tasty. The service was fast, though maybe because I was 1 of 4 parties there that weekday. My wife just wanted to order a bunch of lion king rolls, but said that something tasted not quite like her favorite lion king rolls, but other than that, we thought it was all great!

My party was the first one to arrive for dinner, so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Food came out piping hot(fried stuff) and fresh(sushi), took about 10-15 mins for first round, and eventually got longer as there were more tables seated, normal stuff. Service was great, servers were attentive. Good ambiance, it was on a Cantonese playlist though haha. Definitely recommend getting the sashimis, tasted like it came straight from the ocean.

We had a nice lunch here! The food quality is pretty good for a sushi buffet in the East Bay. The nigiri didn’t have way too much rice, which is a good sign. Will come back when I’m super hungry for sushi. Definitely worth the money. Sad to see that all you can drink for additional $5 is not offer anymore, but it’s ok- as I’m not a big drinker. Friendly customer service.

Update: This is still my favorite. All you can eat sushi place but the menu has changed at least three times. They no longer have the premium All you can eat with sake and beer. Still definitely worth it but I prefer the older menus. This is my favorite AYCE sushi in the entire Bay area! Kenzo is normally my go to, but it's hard to beat an AYCE that includes sashimi (all delicious!) and if you go premium beer/sake!!! The staff is friendly and very attentive; most places you have to flag someone down/wait to put in more orders but here it's so easy. The atmosphere is great, you're not squeezed in, each table has great spacing, so you feel like you're not dining with other tables, and the large windows bring in so much great natural light. I highly recommend going here!
