Coach sushi is a classic sushi spot that I used to go to way back like 15 years ago. They were known for the "coach" who comes around to refill your sake. Let me say, a few things have changed since then and a few things have not! The refill on the bottomless sake for a reasonable price is still there. The sake is $10 per order and as long as you spend $25 on food, you can get unlimited refills within a 2 hour limit! What's changed is that their sake is of good quality. It's a beautiful bottle that tastes good and they still pour it in the little box. Now let me get to the food, the food has really stepped up since they changed owners last year and got a new sushi chef. They import fresh ingredients overnight from Japan. I had so many favorites that I tried! Their Bluefin truffle roll omg. If you like fatty tuna and truffle, get ready for a foodgasm! Their titanic roll was massive, such a great value and exploding with flavors. I think it can feed like 2 people! The sashimi platter was my highlight. I've been to dozens of omakases in the city, but this is probably one of the freshest and best fish in Oakland. So perfectly sliced, and they also have seated wagyu! As for their other dishes, karage is so fresh and crispy, the seasoning isn't like most restaurants. It has fresh slices of garlic. EBI shrimp with egg was so sweet. And their tempura wasn't overly battered! Lastly end with homemade icecream of all unique flavors including my favorite black sesame. I have to say the quality of their sushi from when I remembered it 15 years ago truly surpassed my expectations. You have to give Coach sushi a try especially if you haven't been in the last year! @jetsetjanine

The ambiance is nice, always clean.Service is fantastic, they remember you and your orders and what you liked All the food is always fresh and the oysters are great, no grit and no slime; the price is great on the lower end of most places that offer oysters.All in all, I love this place and have visited it multiple times, it is a little pricey but if you enjoy sushi, oysters, great beers, sake and wonderful service this is the place to go.

Location, service, and food all great. I feel like this place is a hidden gem in Oakland for some bomb sushi and very reasonable prices for the Bay Area. Anytime anybody wants sushi, I take them here and have gotten always had a good time. They also do all you can drink sake which is fun but be ready to drink cuz they really be filling up the sake. I like that it's near lake Merritt and in a walking area so u can take a nice walk after eating so much sushi instead of just exiting into a parking lot and getting in your car. Place is great and a GO-TO for good sushi and vibes

This place has a very cute and a little bit traditional Japanese decor! Very busy street and easy to find!it's mostly clean, for sure... which for some parts of lake Merritt is rare.The service is great! Although I came on a cloudy night windy day the staff were very attentive and happy go lucky! Love that!!!All the food was fresh, fresh, fresh, which makes it all the more tasty! The hot green tea hit the spot on this chill day. If you want quality Japanese food and a Sapporo, this is your spot!!! The price is reasonable for lake Merritt prices!A lot of street parking!Clean restroom.

I returned here recently after not being there for maybe over five years, it's not as popular or quite as good as it used to be, but I would still go back. They have a nice selection of rolls, and the bottomless sake is fun.

Coach Sushi Needs Some Coaching on sushi.Food: I ordered the Lion King Roll and the Spider Roll. The Spider Roll was mostly imitation crab with some over-fried soft-shell crab. The tentacles were crunchy, but the middle was soggy. The Lion King Roll was basic and small, especially for the price. The ginger tasted old and lacked the fresh, pickled zing you'd expect.Ambiance & Service: Coach Sushi has a typical small sushi spot ambiance. The place was clean, but it didn't stand out. Service was okay, but not enough to make up for the food.Overall Experience: If you're looking for a quick sushi fix, Coach Sushi might do the job, but it's far from impressive. The rolls were small and lacked flavor, and the ginger was disappointing. It felt like the fast food version of sushi - convenient but not memorable. Check out my photos to see what I mean.

Loved coming here for lunch on Sunday. We walked from our house , takes about 15min. A good walk to get your appetite going:) we came super late at around closing time but we were greeted from sweet and enthusiastic staff.We loved sharing:- miso soup- cherry blossom roll- Hawaii roll- dragon roll- crunchy tuna rollFood was fresh and delicious. We loved all our rolls. Our 5 year old surprised us and ate 5 rolls. We r definitely coming back here. I love that is small and welcoming with friendly staff and affordable prices! Gotta love neighborhood gems

Hate to say it but coach is slipping a lot. Like a lot of sushi places they raised their prices and cut back on quality. My go-to order is a chirashi but the last time the sashimi was paper thin. I tried the expensive omikase sashimi ($56) but the selections of fish were odd, with the exception of the toro which was great. On a busy night service is not good because they are trying to make do with one server.
