The good Stuff:1. This restaurant been around for a long time.2. Consistent, service friendly from staff. They always give me extra ! extra wasabi, extra dessert, extra soup.3. The food is consistently good, the ingredients they put into it - its consistent. which I like. yes, some restaurant are not consistent.4. Walking distance to where I live.Not so good:1.The older lady - wont mentioned her name. every time I order my food via phone, she's always sound so downer. Like, I'm bothering her. its STILL a business at the end of the day.I will be back to this restaurant and will continue to patronize them. The other two in the area, not soo much.

I usually go to a spot around the corner but on this day it was closed so a couple of friends and I decided to come to Tsuru. We were so glad to come here! The service was fast, the food was good and the fish was SO FRESH! I think I might I might have a new sushi spot and is definitely recommend!

Alright, here's a veteran spot in the Bay Area sushi scene for over 20 years. It's got that local charm and definitely deserves your support. Service? A solid four stars. They're friendly, homegrown, and they genuinely appreciate their customers. You'll see it in the pictures on the wall--local love in action!Dining in? Haven't done it myself, but the area looks decent. Bathrooms, however, could use a bit of a tidy-up.We've only done takeout here. Be prepared to spend about $40 for two rolls, so make sure the serving size justifies the price. Usually, two rolls for two people are satisfying, but there was a time when the portions were a bit skimpy. However, they have a variety of rolls, so whatever your sushi cravings, they've got you covered.Last time, we had the Badass Roll and the Dragon Roll--both were very good, with ample portions. Overall, I'm giving this place a solid 3.5 stars. They earned a bit extra for their customer service. They were friendly and helpful with recommendations.Parking? It's a mixed bag. There's street parking and parking lots around, but Bancroft is busy. Depending on the time of day, it might be a bit of a hunt, but it's available.So, if you're in the mood for some good sushi from a local staple, give this place a try. Enjoy!

Called to make reservations for a party of 10, when we arrived (about 20ish minutes early) the tables were all set up and they immediately walked us over. Service was super fast and they were very attentive to us. I had my 10 month baby with us and they offered her miso soup- which she loved! Guests all had a great time!

Fairly standard sushi spot. Plenty of paid parking in the area. It was pretty empty when we came in but service was still slow and felt like they didn't want us to be there.Regardless, we enjoyed the food. Fairly good rice to fish ratio. I liked that they had a variety of fish available, particularly amaebi. Probably wouldn't come again because of the service but a decent place if you're craving sushi and other spots are closed during the mid afternoon closing hours.

Located right along E 14th, this cute restaurant has a decent selection of items on their menu. I had just come off of a 2-3 day fast and wanted to eat something lighter and clean. This spot was definitely "lighter" and "clean" eats for what we ordered.Ordered:- Green Magma Roll (White tuna w/ soy sheet & avocado sauce)- San Leandro Roll (Smoke salmon w/ avocado & sour cream)- Tempura (2 shrimp, 1 zucchini, 1 eggplant, 1 kabocha, 1 broccoli)- Chicken teriyaki & vegetables donburiSo I'm a little upset about the donburi because I realized that they never even gave us our soup and salad that were supposed to come with it. Also, just FYI - the donburi and entree plates are exactly the same thing according to the server... The only difference is one is served in a bowl on top of the rice, while the plate serves each item separately.. but also the donburi comes with more rice, so I would assume the donburi has slightly more value at the same price..Anyway, the chicken was pretty dry and they didn't give much veggies. Also, not a lot of teriyaki sauce to help with the dryness. It's not a terrible dish, but I'll probably never order that again.I enjoyed the tempura and it's light flakiness. The veggie items were ones that I favored.The San Leandro Roll is basically a Philly roll. Nice rice to ingredients ratio.The Green Magma Roll was a little different as it topped an avocado sauce, and I liked the bite size portions of these.Wanted to try a different spot than my usual area of getting sushi closer to Bayfair, but I can't say this was totally worth it. Their prices were honestly off-putting. A 3-item bento box was over $33 or so and their sashimi platters were out of my range of willingness to even look at for even just 6 pieces. The prices alone will deter me from coming back here.My favorite item there though was actually the complimentary hot green tea! It warmed my soul and was just what I needed to help me forget that we apparently didn't get our miso soup and salad. Other than that, their quality of sushi seemed fresh.

Located in the heart of Downtown San Leandro, this charming mom-and-pop shop provided a welcoming atmosphere when my group and I visited around 1 pm. Despite the lunch hour, we were promptly seated and offered hot tea or water. While the appetizers were on the smaller side, the sushi were delightfully fresh and flavorful. Perfect for satisfying a sushi craving on the go!

Tsuru Sushi is a San Leandro staple and has been here since I've first moved to this city back in 1997. They have a variety of items and specials and the prices are reasonable given inflation. My favorite seat in the house is at the chef's table where you get to see them whip out the delicious rolls in front of you. Norman and Stanley are so sweet and they are such a joy to be around every time we dine at Tsuru. Whatever you order, you'll always get a cup of hot tea and juicy orange slices as you pay. My personal favorites are the aburi (smoked) samon that comes in 2 and worth every penny, and the Badass roll.

Recently whilst in the Bay Area, I was in need of some comfort food and at first I was going to drive to North Oakland to a Japanese restaurant that I frequented years ago then I came across Tsuru, in San Leandro, CA, which was much closer to where I was lodging. For me, the atmosphere was very tranquil and therapeutic which was perfect for my lite afternoon snack.I was able to peacefully enjoy my iso soup before my Bento Box arrived which consisted of Salmon Teriyaki, Tempura & 3 Piece California Roll and salad and of course, a large Kirin Ichiban beer for digestive purposes. As I was about to leave, I received a call from my cousin to bring home some East 14th rolls, prawn tempura, tobiko, avocado & spicy sauce. Tobiko was new to me which is a type of caviar made from flying fish eggs.Well, I do declare that I thoroughly enjoyed my culinary experience at Tsuru and will definitely be back in the near future to try some of the delectable delights that I eyeballed on the menu
