Small place, attentive staff, amazing sushi.
– Their rolls are stuffed to the brim with sushi.
– The salmon sashimi is a large portion, and super good.
– We also tried their Geta don. The tuna was amazing!! The onsen egg was really great!!!
I loved the spicy scallop roll. My friends really enjoyed the real cali roll. The hamachi roll was great too.
My only complaint is that the rice consistency wasn’t great and seemed basically unseasoned.

Been here 2x now (dinner about 10days ago and lunch today) and finally writing a review.
BEST family/small sushi restaurant probably in the surrounding zip codes! We usually go to RnR Sushi a few minutes away, but after trying Geta, RnR is a backup now 🙂
Geta isn’t big (a little more than 20 seats), so if you arrive at peak mealtimes, expect a wait for a seat (this place is popular & you’ll see lots of takeout orders being picked up too). On Xmas eve (today), we came at 130pm for a late lunch b4 they close at 2pm, and we got the last 2 seats at the sushi bar (they place was still full when we left at 2pm). I went with a friend who doesn’t eat much raw fish (he likes only raw tuna, otherwise he says it’s too ‘fishy’), and a friend who has been to some VERY nice/expensive Japanese restaurant/sushi places, and they BOTH like Geta and want to come back! That says a lot!
We all thought the prices are reasonable given the portion size preparation, and freshness. We def like that they call their CA rolls “real CA roll” because they use real crab, not imitation crab meat. The avocado tuna roll was delicious – generous amount of tuna. The tempura was great – came out hot and crispy, the batter thin (not thick or gummy). The Agedashi Tofu appetizer was so melt in your mouth good – soft fluffy tofu with a thin crispy shell in a light sweet soy sauce (one of the best agedashi tofu I’ve had in the Bay Area), and I finally tried monkfish liver!
Def ck out Geta if you’re in the area 🙂 Attentive, helpful, and friendly staff. Lots of specials – look at the various postings on the wall after you’re seated!

Save your money. Honestly probably the worst sushi I’ve had. Staff wasn’t super friendly either. Not sure how it got so many positive reviews. Rice didnt even taste like sushi rice. Go see for yourself but may be wise to have a backup food plan.

TLDR: unsanitary fish, sloppy rolls, rude customer service.
REVIEW: I’ve been to Geta probably 10 times in recent years, but after my recent experience will not go back. My group showed up at opening time to eat but they told us to wait 15 more minutes because their delivery was late that morning and they were still getting things prepared. After 15 minutes we went in. We were largely ignored. After an exasperated waiter took our order, no water was brought until we asked. Our order was not taken until we hailed the water down. Eventually, the food that was delivered to our table was inedible. The rolls were SO SLOPPY, falling apart and oozing with mayo. The fish in our rolls and the sashimi tasted spoiled or like it had been cut on a dirty cutting board — the fish had a stale odor and taste. Simply disgusting and extremely poor quality… not what I used to think about the food here. We didn’t finish any dishes and left quickly thereafter.

This is so small sushi place with only few tables set up, so don’t expect to get in so easily! But the food is so good, the fish is so fresh and everything is authentic and of high quality. It’s my favorite! If you order the sweet shrimp sushi you also get the head as tempura! Gyudon was a bit too big even if shared between 2 people but we also ordered many things so that might be more of the reason.

New to the area but I feel like this is one of those local gems. Small establishment but big servings. Highly recommend their fried oysters (really fresh) and deluxe nigiri sampler. We’re definitely coming back for their omakase option.

This is a small but cozy restaurant. Walked in during a rainy day and the food is beyond expectation. The Chirashi Don is fresh and well seasoned. Uni nigiris are from local (definitely worse than Hokkaido ones 🙂 but still worth trying. Service is attentive as well.

A tiny “hole in the wall” with a take out spot vibe, Geta’s humble environs downplay what is the best sushi in Oakland. This is not a spot with an expansive roll menu that dazzles with sauces and fire, but more of a place committed to the craft and quality of the best possible nigiri and sashimi (plus some classic rolls like a real crab California) — all at extremely reasonable prices.
Tremendous quality, and a variety of fish not often seen, Geta sources the best local and Japanese seafood products. Coming here for me is exciting!
This isn’t a fancy restaurant, nor is it large. There are three tables that hold 4 people. And a bar that seats 4. The majority come here for takeout — even though they shun doing business with food delivery apps. You gotta call, or show up in person to place an order.
My strong recommendation is to dine in alone (making seating at the bar easier) or with one friend who loves quality like you do, or to come to the restaurant before placing your take out order so that you can select from the “curtain” of hand drawn specials cards. Where the standard and take out menus only showcase a basic selection of classics, one of Geta’s secrets is the list of special items on offer — a list almost as long as the standard menu.
The other secret, barely advertised, is the omakase menu of either 10 or 15 pieces. It makes for a very special and relatively quick meal — would be awesome to come here before a movie or a concert. The service is very efficient yet pleasant — they know what they have here and how small it is. They want you to eat, and really enjoy it, but then move along. I love it!

We have been coming to GETA for at least a decade. It used to be a place filled with warmth, good food and the kind of neighborhood feeling that made us drive back from San Francisco just to eat here. We had not visited for about a year and tonight showed us that the restaurant has changed for the worse.
We arrived at 7:35pm. The young male server told us to sit anywhere we liked, so we chose the counter. As soon as we sat down he abruptly asked us to move to a table instead. His tone was unnecessarily sharp but we moved without arguing.
When ordering I asked for hot water. He said they only had hot tea, which would have been fine if it had been delivered with any patience or clarity. His attitude was rigid and dismissive, so I simply asked for regular water. Immediately afterward he began pushing us to order. I told him I needed more time. He asked how much time I needed because they were closing soon. At that moment we had been seated for no more than two minutes.
We placed a $130+ order. A few minutes later he returned from the kitchen to tell us that the deluxe nigiri was unavailable. No alternatives were suggested and there was no effort to help us find another option. We changed our order quickly because the pressure to hurry never stopped.
The nigiri platter we ended up with came out fast but unfortunately the quality was not what we remembered. The shrimp and several cuts of fish did not look fully fresh. During the meal our plates were taken away almost immediately each time and we were repeatedly pushed toward paying the bill. When it was time to pay they checked our ID once which was already unusual. After the card was processed a second ID check was requested by a different staff member. At that point the entire experience felt careless and unwelcoming.
From sitting down to walking out the whole visit was under twenty five minutes. We fully understand that small local restaurants face many pressures and we genuinely want to support them. We also understand the desire to close on time. What we cannot accept is being treated like an inconvenience. Tonight we felt rushed and dismissed from the moment we entered to the moment we paid.
It is sad to say this about a place that carries so many memories for us. I hope this was simply an off night and that the hospitality and quality we once loved can return. I believe this will be my last visit.

Super delicious and affordable! I had always heard great things about this place, and now I know why. The sushi was huge and very affordable. The donburi was bomb. Even the little treat they leave with the bill was yummy. The place is small, but it’s lively and full of energy. I love a lot of sushi spots in the east bay, but this one might be near the top of the list!
