This looks like a decent spot with a mixture of cozy booths and tables. The ramen was actually decent, flavor wise, and the char siu was actually tender. But what’s with the fully cooked egg?

Sauce on the volcano roll was a bit on the sweet side.

Everything was decent.

Took stars out because there was a bug (maybe a small fly) in the salad and a hair or some kind of fiber mixed in the scallops on the roll. I was offered another salad but I declined. And by the time I saw the other thing, I was not in the mood to deal with it.

I stopped in for lunch and was really impressed. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor—every bite felt like great quality. The service was attentive without being rushed, and the staff made the whole experience very welcoming. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing lunch. Definitely one of the better sushi spots I’ve been to recently—I’ll be back for sure!

Sushi is extremely fresh and very delicious; the portions – especially the lunch menu ones- are ENORMOUS! And very reasonably priced; you get soup and a side salad all for under 20 bucks plus a mountain of whatever dish you order. The sashimi is pricier, but I think for the quality it’s worth it. The only downside is that sometimes the service can be a little slow when they’re very busy.

If you’re looking for a solid western-style sushi experience in the Bay Area, Ukai Japanese Bistro is a good choice. The menu features plenty of large, creative rolls—most topped with sauces, crunchy bits, and bold flavors that appeal to a crowd.

I tried the agedashi tofu, which was nicely cooked, though a bit on the sweet side. But that seems to be the general flavor profile here, and I think most guests are looking for that sweeter, fusion-style menu.

One standout item is the Crow Canyon Roll, named after the nearby Crow Canyon. It’s a deep-fried roll packed with just about everything. Is it good? Absolutely. Is it sushi? If you say so—haha! It’s indulgent, fun, and very much in line with Ukai’s western take on Japanese cuisine.

This definitely isn’t a traditional sushi spot, so purists might want to look elsewhere. But if you’re in the mood for bold flavors, friendly service, and creative rolls, Ukai is a solid pick.

Been going to this place for years.
Always was good,not a single time of disappointment.
Earlier this year the management has been changed. We were sceptical,if the quality remains.
Surprisingly,it became better.
Food quality is pristine. Service is a tip notch,even during busy hours.
Despite the fact there are quite a few sushi places within a half mile Ukai wins!
Thanks you team!
Please, keep it up.

The food was absolutely delicious, especially the crispy rice appetizer. While the service was slow, the staff was extremely gracious as it was busier than expected. At the end, as a thank you for being patient our server comped us a mango ice cream, fully their idea! Would absolutely recommend and will be returning.

This is my family’s go to japanese spot. Their rolls are great and their sashimi is fresh. But, we usually opt for the Ukai Family Combo meal – its an incredible amount and variety of food for the price.

Good food. Fast, great service. Spacious seating. Lots of parking. Solid.

First time I tried Ukai, I was in my third trimester so ordered cooked rolls only, which I don’t love in general but it got the job done with satiating the craving. Shrimp tempura roll was stacked and good. Did not like the Lion King roll–too sweet and way too saucy for me.

Came back and got a few tekka and sake maki rolls and loved the freshness of the fish. Good ratio of fish to rice as well. Other sides that we really enjoyed were the chicken karaage, seaweed salad, and miso soup. We tried the spicy karaage and while it was tasty, we preferred the regular. They make the meat so juicy and flavorful! My husband likes their rainbow rolls, nigiri, and uni. I also really like the sweet dressing that’s used on the side salad.

Last but not least, they have onikoroshi sake! (Demon Slayer) So sweet and smooth.

Walked in here with a group of 9, the management was extremely accommodating. Every dish we ordered was great. Being a Texan, we don’t get Japanese cuisine to this level. The location is a bit hidden but Google Maps will get you there. The pricing was very fair especially for the quality. I would definitely go back again next time I’m in the area!

We came for my birthday. I really wanted ramen, but the wife was craving sushi, so we settled for Ukai. Don’t come here for the ramen, it is pretty mid and I had the Chasu Ramen. Sushi rolls are pretty large, so you won’t be disappointed, the fish and other ingredients were fresh. Our daughter had the chicken katsu meal and she said it was ok.
