Sushi Fighter

I've tried other sushi in the East Bay and I always come back to Sushi Fighter every time. They have the freshest rolls and they're always so flavorful and beautiful. I love eating sushi dine in, but Sushi Fighter has done a spectacular job adapting to covid. Usually I'm picky about takeout sushi, but they crush it and the rolls are just as perfect as they would be in the restaurant. My tips: - Start with the hot & spicy Edamame. It's the best app ever. - My two favorite rolls are the Green Dragon & Hot Mamacita. They're the perfect combo with the spiciness of the jalapeños from the Hot Mamacita and the sweetness of the eel on the Green Dragon. - If you're into udon, Chicken or tempura udon is to die for. Perfect low key date night spot for the Gaels.

So we didn't get to actually eat here. The menu looked impressive enough, but we were never seated. Our party of 3 arrived there ahead of 2 others: a family of 4 and an elderly couple. The lady asked us to wait for a table to open up. There are only 5 tables available but due to COVID they had to space everyone out. Only 1 booth was occupied from what we could see. "Ok we'll wait" I said. Then she turned to the Caucasian family *behind* us and seated them ahead of us at a table to the side. Her reasoning was that we were 3 and they were 4. The only other available table was one set for 2 people, which was naturally given to the elderly couple. We sat down in the waiting area scratching our heads. Were we just the victims of racial discrimination? Or just plain stupidity? So we left.

Solid bento box, service can be a little bit uneven sometimes. Suggestion for the restaurant, don't take over one of your booths during lunch or dinner service, so patrons cannot sit down. This is just laziness and not a good look. Also paper towels sitting around in the restaurant don't look good either. I know you guys are probably going through a lot right now but try to keep up appearances. But you do you. Your food's good, don't relax too much and in trouble time.

I ate here in October for my first time. It was pretty good. The sushi was great! Reasonably priced for sushi rolls. We got 4 rolls for a total of $56, which seems pretty typical for sushi in our area. We arrived before the busy rush of the evening but as we were leaving there was a very long line waiting to be seated. The place is pretty small with not a lot of tables, so I suggest to arrive before dinner rush time. The only reason I am not giving them 4 stars is because I used the restroom while I was there and it was terribly disgusting. This may have been a one time event, maybe it's usually perfectly clean, but for my visit it was terrible. Sum it up: food was great and I would definitely recommend eating here (maybe just use the restroom before you arrive) My recommendation: try the butterface roll and add cream cheese!

Great/very friendly staff, specials are constantly updating, very creative rolls as well as the classics, fantastic prices and most importantly very fresh fish! I’ve been to a lot of sushi restaurant in The Bay and this is hands down my favorite. Around dinner time it can get pretty packed but don’t let that deter you, it’s well worth waiting a few minutes to get a table. This place is so good I’ve got two of my friends, who (thought they) hated sushi, to become regulars. These guys and gals really care about/take pride in their craft and it noticeably shines through their food and hospitality. Easily a 10/10, would HIGHLY recommend!
