That out of the way, Kiseki goes a long way to a perfect izakaya experience. The menu is fully featured with ramen, don, soba, curry, katsu, and every other Japanese staples. You won’t find extremely specialized flavors here, more of the general version of everything, but they do it all very well.
I tried it as a date night, plenty of comfortable seating, quite casual. It really was a great experience.
We went on a night where sushi was available and it was some of the best we’ve had in the bay.
We will be back often!
Got the chicken Karaage curry plate. Did not enjoy the food, tasted store bought, would not come again. Check out the photos.
About $20/entree.
Sidenote: we watched the owner bring all the fresh seafood…..that made us feel very confident we were eating fresh healthy food.
The ramen had great flavor, though the chashu wasn’t the most appetizing. The tempura was a bit on the soggy side, but still tasty. The sushi, however, was excellent—beautifully presented and fresh, with no complaints.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was nice, though surprisingly empty for a Saturday night.
4.5/5 Bluefin otoro (tuna belly) – undoubtedly the star of the show as it just melted in my mouth. If I had not ordered so many items, I would have ordered another one. I contemplated… twice, and decided wisely not to order another one.
4/5 Negi hamachi – I love hamachi (yellow tail) so these simple sushi rolls were great. I would have preferred bigger pieces, but I should have ordered hamachi sashimi instead.
3/5 Grilled skewers – the best one was the shrimp. With so much sauce on chicken thigh and shishito peppers, I couldn’t taste the natural flavors of those items.
3.5/5 Curry over rice – Someone had said this was a great value. I agree, at $7, although no meat, the curry had enough flavor. Although the rice was not particularly outstanding, the curry was the star.
Oh yeah, they got their beer license so there was draft beer and bottled beer. I would have gotten a draft beer, but I decided I wanted to try more items so I skipped beer. I found out that sushi was new and only offered on weekends. I believe this was only the second weekend that they had sushi. The sushi chef was knowledgeable, friendly and generous. He made me a fruit dessert that was elegant and refreshing. He also informed me that their fish special would change every weekend depending on what they get. I asked if I should call to find out first before coming in for sushi and he agreed. And that’s exactly what I’ll do next time.

Saw Kiseki was listed #71 on Yelp’s top 100 ramen in CA. I remember having ramen there years ago, but didn’t remember much. Thus, came back to try again. This time I finally couldn’t resist and ordered the Asahi draft beer. Really difficult for me to pass up draft beer with Japanese food. They just pair so well together. lol
My friend and I shared a sashimi bowl. It was beautifully arranged. Good to have avocado slices in there. Oh, and the salmon pieces were on the orange slices which imparted a hint of orange. I thought that was great. Sashimi pieces were fresh – no complaints about this item.
I had Black Garlic years ago, but it wasn’t listed on the menu this time. I decided to get Shoyu Ramen with an Onsen Egg (Poached Egg). I really wanted an aji egg (soft boiled egg), but I wanted to try something different. The broth was a bit weak. I was a bit disappointed. I tasted my friend’s shio ramen broth, it had even less flavor. The noodles had a good chewiness to it. The poached egg was a little runny, which was to my liking, but overall, this was probably a 2.5 out of 5.
I must say that the sashimi was much better than the ramen. In my previous experience, I greatly enjoyed their sashimi and sushi as well. I would come back for those items, but as ramen snobs, my friend and I would not order ramen there again. Sounds harsh, but that’s our opinion. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because the service was great, sashimi was enjoyable and they had Japanese draft beer.
Update:awesome,super fresh sushi on weekends
