Really delicious nigiri in a cute restaurant at an affordable price. I ordered the chefs choice set and was really impressed with the quality of the fish as well as the variety… These guys really give good value for money! One note I did have is that I thought the rice was too seasoned for my liking… While the seasoning tasted good it kind of took away from some of the flavors of the fish. My girlfriend and I also shared the spicy salmon roll and were pretty impressed with it as well! Overall I really liked this place and am excited to come back for another chef’s choice set! Also, i would highly recommend making a reservation since seating can take a bit.

This place had been on my want-to-go list for a while, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I ordered their Nigiri Combo for pickup through DoorDash. You can choose up to 7 pieces of nigiris and 5 pieces of daily maki (chief’s choice).
I went with the Maguro (Big Eye Tuna), Hamachi (Yellow Tail), Salmon, Umi Masu (Ocean Trout), Kanpachi( Amberjack), Hotate (Hokkaido Scallop), Toro (Spain Bluefin Tuna. The fish was pretty fresh and delicious, and the price is quite reasonable.
The only downside was the wait time. I placed my order at 1:30 PM and selected a 7:20 PM pick-up window. When I got to the restaurant, the order was not ready, and the staff told me it would be another 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of waiting, I came back to the restaurant, and the food was still not ready. I didn’t get my food until around 7:50 PM. It made me wonder what the point is of scheduling a pick-up time when I ordered so far in advance.

absolutely stellar sushi. fast, fresh and great variety. unbelievable value for $25/nigiri combo. always busy, so i recommend dining early to make sure they don’t run out of what you want (and to beat the crowds!)

I’ve never had the chance to dine in at Mujiri, but I’ve ordered their omakase set for takeout multiple times. and it never disappoints. The selection of fish is always incredibly fresh, and the quality is consistently top-notch. What really stands out is the sushi rice perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of umami, not too sour and not too plain. Even in a takeout box, everything is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Highly recommend if you’re looking for high-quality sushi at home.

This place was amazing. Don’t think of your typical Japanese American rolls. Think simple, elegant, and flavorful, almost decadent. We ordered the specials that day, plus some extra rice, japanese uni, and the nigiri box. Everything was wonderful. Most things do not need any extra seasoning/sauce. The sear on the poke was so light, which made me really happy as i don’t personally like cooked salmon, and it was seasoned so wonderfully. Tuna hand rolls were great. Tuna carpaccio melted in your mouth. I also recommend the Ume drink. Mmmmmm.

Amazing sushi – and an even better value. The chef’s choice nigiri is one of the best deals in the bay area. Plus, all the sushi is gluten free, and they have gluten free soy sauce.

I’ve always ordered takeout from here and finally dined in person. Sushi is high quality, at unbelievably affordable prices. Their classic omakase set starts at $25 and comes with a maki roll and 7 nigiris of your choice. You can pay extra for premium cuts like toro or uni. I tried their seaweed salad, which is nothing like the standard artificially green seaweed salads you would get at a typical sushi restaurant, ton more texture and different textured of seaweed and kelp. We also shared their toro trio, and finished with the kinako mochi. Such a gem of a restaurant and will def try to be back for in person dining again. With everything we ordered which included premium cuts and additional pcs, we ended up only spending $170 total for 2, which is the typical pricing for one person at a sf omakase restaurant at similar quality.

My friends and I went to Mujiri on a whim and were completely blown away by their service and food. It’s a very small restaurant, but thankfully, we were able to find a table when we got there.
For $25, you can get the nigiri combo, which includes 7 pieces of nigiri and chef’s choice of hosomaki (small sushi rolls). For the 7 pieces of nigiri, either you can go with chef’s selection or pick your own 7 pieces of nigiri from the available options without repeting any nigiri. The small sushi rolls were okay, but every piece of nigiri that we got was really good. It was fresh and juicy. Each nigiri had a thick cut of the fish. My personal favorites were- hotate (Hokkaido scallop), kurodai (Black snapper), toro (Spain bluefin fatty tun). My friend also really liked their blue fish. You can also ask them to sear the fish if you like it that way. I also tried their Santa Barbara uni. It was decent (not the best I’ve had, but thankfully, it wasn’t bitter or mushy). The nigiri combo was so good that we ended up ordering more nigiri from their a la carte menu. The service was great, too. Our server was very attentive and friendly.
Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. This place beats some of the upscale omakase places where you will shell out a lot of money for mediocre food/sushi. Given how expensive sushi can be, it’s understandable to be skeptical of cheap sushi, but don’t sleep on this place.

I dropped by while in the area to try Mujiri for the first time, and it will definitely not be the last! I had the sashimi plate and I was totally blown away, it was so delicious! Lots of variety of fish, super high quality and beautifully prepared. Sat at the sushi bar solo, and loved everything about the restaurant and vibes!
