Meri L. "Went there with my husband last night and ordered the taco Tuesday deal, umami fries, soy garlic wings, and the pork rice bowl. It took about 25min to get our food after ordering from the kiosk but once we got our food and sat down to eat at a table right next to their stall, the tacos and the fries were cold! I notified one of the employees there and first asked if he could reheat the tacos and he said that it's going to be the same? I was confused and just asked to be refunded for the cold food and went to super duper burger instead."

Everything was fresh!"

Sugata Japanese Restaurant

Sugata Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (287) • $$

Craig Y. "Great example of Japanese cuisine. Japanese food is so much more than sushi and rice bowls and Sugata captures that spirit. Normally, I would give a place like this 4 stars. It's a solid 4-star place. But I can't believe Yelp has it at only 3.5! That must be rectified. It's a travesty when I see other places with 4 or more stars that aren't half as good. This is a good restaurant and if you're craving Japanese cuisine, you need to try this place.FOOD: Loved our order. We got a wide variety of items thanks to the generosity of friends and a love of Door Dash. I got the bento box dinner which comes with miso soup and salad and rice (which Door Dash doesn't show). I had the salmon teriyaki and tempura combo and it was delicious! The portion size was very generous. Literally it was about twice as much salmon as I normally get and the tempura included shrimp! Excellent flavor too. Not swimming in teriyaki but more than enough to make it flavorful. My daughter got one of the sushi rolls and really enjoyed it which is saying something. She is very particular by her own admission about sushi. We both agreed we would return here soon.SERVICE: Everything was delivered hot and packaged neatly and attractively. Like I said, generous portions only added to our enjoyment. Everything we needed was put together quickly, too.COST: Great food to cost ratio! Definitely felt we got our money's worth and then some. Again, will definitely come back!"

We never miss a chance to eat here whenever we return to Pleasanton. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who enjoys top quality dining."

Kelsey X. "Food (4/5)Food was delicious! I would have liked a little more seasoning for my claypot rice however. It was a nice, comforting hearty meal. I've been here before and enjoyed the hamachi carpaccio too :)Price (4/5)On the pricier side. My gindara meshi/black cod small claypot rice was $37, my friend's tori soboro meshi/braised ground chicken small claypot rice was $26, and my other friend's tempura udon was $16 (this was the most fairly priced). Keep in mind that the dashi soup is an additional $2.5. We also ordered curry korokke ($10.5), which my friends enjoyed.Wait Time (4/5)Made a reservation several days in advance via Yelp for our party of three which was easy. We arrived on time and were seated promptly. We were told on arrival that our reservation was limited to 1.5hrs.One of my friends did have to wait a while for her udon while my and my other friend's meals were already arrived, so that was odd (I assume udon is usually quicker, but she did order the tempura udon?).Ambiance (5/5)Cozy interior, about 10+ tables for parties of 2-4, and three larger tables for parties of 4+ with tatami seating. It was pretty warm inside.Service (4/5)Everyone was pleasant and nice but it did take us a while to flag someone down when we were trying to ask about my friend's late dish. It also did take a while for us to get the check. No other concerns.Parking/Access (5/5)Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking available with no time limits. Most of the other businesses are closed for dinner time at least (the pool shop, key shop, FedEx). Probably wouldn't come back again since this was my second visit and there are other more affordable restaurants in the area with more exciting choices in my opinion. But definitely worth a try!"

George F. "Not sure if Jung don Katsu is part of Taru Sushi or has taken over the restaurant. The sushi menu and sushi bar is still intact. The interior has not changed neither has the signage. The new Katsu menu is a great add. We ordered two combo meals of Katsu one pork loin and one fish both of which are excellent freshly made. The tray comes with rice, shredded cabbage salad (traditional) potato salad and a small bowl of soba noodles. The Alaskan cod and pork Katsu were done just right 5 stars. We had the grilled garlic edemame appetizer which was just meh $9. Definitely not grilled. Stir Fried and kinda greasy. The food takes a long time to come out. Luckily we were the first one to order. Parking is hard with only street parking available. Service was ok."

We came to eat together not have to wait ten minutes between three of us. Everyone is very nice. Food is flavorful, a bit on the expensive side but I live in CV and there is not a lot of talent as far restaurants go so it is what it is. Been coming here since it opened back in the day.

STARS (stand out qualities)-customer service was one of the biggest stars. the owner-couple were so warm, responsive and helpful-local business owned by people of color -food was good quality AND quantity-food came out freshly made and hot -food presentation was nice -owners gave extra for certain banchan since we ate it quickly-reusable eatingware -beautiful interior dining area with booths and tables/chairs-clean bathroom -plenty of parking STAIRS (areas of growth)-recommend compostable or biodegradable large takeout boxes (they did have small compostable ones) -prices feel high to me but I think they are competitive Bay Area prices. Worth the price for all the stars above TIPS-prepare for cash payment if you want discounted prices-I recommend the Chive Seafood Jeon and Ddeokbokki and which was very flavorful and packed with good ingredients -bring friends, family and coworkers! Seems to be a hidden gem at the moment"

Mom and pop family vibe. We had the chirashi bowl, crazy monkey roll, and a beer. The chirashi bowl had over 15 pcs of delicious fresh good size sashimi pieces. The crazy monkey roll was really great, avoid shrimp tempura and get raw fish in your roll, topped with unagi? Yum! They weren't skimpy on the tobiko either! If I need to impress someone, I'd take them to Amakara.If I don't care and want a homey vibe, go to Sushi Hanabi"

Tip: If you have a larger group make sure to call ahead because they do get very busy!They have happy hour every day which is unheard of. There are options for handrolls, regular rolls, and even their sushi tacos, all reasonably priced. Honestly you can probably be full off a few of the happy hour rolls. I do highly recommend the sushi tacos. I got the spider sushi taco and it was an entire soft shell crab in a seaweed shell and some other toppings (so good!) Daruma also has okonomiyaki, which I frequently crave and find it hard to find a place in the bay area. Recommend the seafood one. Good texture and plenty of seafood in it. It is probably enough food for one person or two if you want to get some rolls with it.Overall, highly satisfied with my initial experience here and will definitely be coming back to try more things from their extensive menu."

I attempted to come here for dinner a few times and ended up leaving due to the long wait times. Standing in the cold with a young toddler was just not feasible. Come here fully prepared to be patient due to the large crowds, especially during dinner time. The establishment itself is on the small side so getting seated takes time. Food is great, hence the large following that religiously comes back for more. I've had the beef & chicken teriyaki, deep fried shrimp, as well as the shrimp udon noodle soup. Flavors are always on point- never bland, flavorfully balanced, and extremely tasty. 4 stars. I eagerly look forward to coming back so I can try the beef dofu."

The salmon is buttery and the cheese is really creamy. I really like the texture that the roll gives. I kind of wished it was cucumber instead of avocado because it was a little too fatty for me.Spicy Tuna(3/5): The spice was tolerable and the taste was good, but I wished there was more cucumber. I probably would've given it a better scoring.Potato Croquette(3/5): I liked the crunch that it gave, but I felt like it lacked in flavor. The sauce that it came with had a vinegar taste and it really brought out the flavor that was hidden inside the croquette.Salmon Delight(5/5): Words can't describe how good this roll was. It was doused with spicy mayo and had huge amounts of salmon inside and outside the roll! Definitely my favorite out of the 4 items!Overall, a really good sushi place to go to and a place I would definitely come again!"

Wasn't expecting quite as much as there was so it was hard to choose, but I went with some spam musubi, a braised, pork taco and a braised pork bowl. Light bite dinner and lunch tomorrow.Huge fan of the spam comes with making an avocado, which was a nice surprise. I didn't read the details of the menu so it felt extra fancy. Braised pork taco was a little oily and I wish there was just a smidge more spice to it had some bites with flavor and some kind of lacking and the pork bowl was a nice size and comes with wider brown rice and the kimchi mixture. I put a couple dabs of hot sauce on it and took a few bites and for me that made it. It was good by itself too. I just needed a kick of spice tonight.Definitely looking forward to checking them out again and exploring more of the menu options ."

Olivia P. "Suruki's is always a must stop for me when I am in the Vallejo area. This is definitely a rating that is impacted by the consistency and reliability of their food. Because I have gone here a lot it is also a reminder of home and warmth.I have gotten the sushi a few times, and some other bowls, but the star of this review is the beef don.Beef Don: 10/10This bowl is such an amazing combination. It's hot and just fills you with a warm and happy feeling - especially on the winter. The egg and beef are so flavorful together with all the juices of the onions. The juice of everything together drips down onto the rice making it moist and adding extra flavor. The chicken don does not have the same rating because the chicken soaks up a lot of the juices and can be dry. Here, the is flavor everywhere, and I love it! A must try for sure! Before you know it you'll be craving it too!Unagi Don: 9/10The unagi Don is extremely good as well. The sauces that is on the unagi is amazing and makes the rice less plain.Spam masubi: 9/10I love spam masubi and will always get one here. It tastes like any other spam masubi and they make it fresh! I will caveat that sometimes the seaweed can be a bit soggy from the heat of the spam and rice.I've gotten the sushi here too and it's pretty decent. You can now do takeout by ordering on the phone, or by walking in and ordering at the register. They also have a few tables for dining inside. Everything is always done to order, so sometimes it takes some time.Overall, Suruki's will always have a special place in my heart. The staff are so nice, and it's a local restaurant that deserves a lot of credit!"

The rolls are very good but a little small, and they only have 3 vegetarian options. The drinks are very good and they have a wide japanese whiskey selection too. Service was good but there were only 2 servers it seemed. The rolls are great for 2-3 bites, but you're always wanting a little more. This is the perfect place to go before a show at the Fox or doing some partying afterwards- it'll fill you up but isn't a gut-buster like many places can be. There are so many rolls on the menu it's hard to tell, but the dungeness crab one was out of this world and worth a trip on its own."

Merrick W. "Want to give a quick re-review because our family continues to really enjoy this place. As a matter of fact, of the three sushi/Japanese places in the immediate area, Miyuki is light years beyond the other two. My sister and I went tonight but couldn't believe -- it was absolutely packed! Have never come here before with it being so busy. With that, service was a tad slower than usual and our waitress had a very bad cough and, even though she was wearing a mask, the strength of her cough made me very uncomfortable and we thought, ok, this is probably the wrong night to come here, so we left. (Note to Owner: if someone is that sick, they shouldn't be working, mask or not.). So we went down Aborn to Yuri (Lucky Shopping Center) -- but, besides there being practically zero customers, which is not a good sign during prime dinnertime, eating there reminded me of why I don't like it ... at least with their cooked food (vs. sushi) there is no soul or love put into it like at Miyuki. (And note: the 3rd sushi place, Truya, is just plain awful, look up my review.)But everything at Miyuki is wonderful. Massive menu. Great atmosphere. A staff of young servers who are very diligent in their service (always helpful with my senior parents). Of the three places, Miyuki, by far, has the best teriyaki sauce, the best miso soup, a great side salad with delicious dressing, and everything is always served nice and hot (unlike at Yuri, where the edamame was half hot / half cold, the miso soup was lukewarm, the salad dressing pretty tasteless and with the chicken breast teriyaki (extra $3) the chicken was very tough). Unfortunately, can't talk too much about the sushi at Miyuki as we're not sushi eaters, but we do get "pseudo-sushi" (California Roll) and it's always fresh and delicious.The situation at Miyuki tonight was absolutely not the norm and will not dissuade us from coming back or giving it less than 5 stars -- folks, it's not only the best in the area, it's always excellent!"

The New York strip was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly,and the scallops were also done well--not overcooked, just the right texture. The garlic rice was amazing--packed with flavor, with a nice peppery kick that I loved. The vegetables paired really well with everything, making the meal feel balanced and satisfying. Plus, the portion sizes were huge, which made it well worth the price! Another plus? The food traveled well, sometimes takeout can lose its quality, but everything held up great. Overall, definitely be ordering again! Would highly recommend if you're looking for quality food with big portions and great flavor."

Quick and easy process: ordered on my phone and it was ready in the 15-20 min it took for me to drive here.I went with the chicken teriyaki + tempura + gyoza for $15. Maybe it looked extra generous because it was takeout and therefore given in 3 separate boxes. Still, it felt like a lot of food. Lots of chicken, big scoop of rice, and a salad in one box. 6 pcs tempura (4 veggie, 2 shrimp) in the next. And 3 pcs gyoza in the last box. Flavor wise, it was prob as good as any other sushi spot. I've had better crispier tempura at other places. The gyoza filling was tasty, though I'll say the sauce it came with didn't add much. Overall, though, still a good meal."

Timothy N. "Came for the $16.99 lunch special (M-F, some broths are an up-charge) and honestly fairly happy. + Vegetable plate is slightly customizable. They let you substitute veggies for the others. No more wasting or needing to hand off unliked veggies to others in your group like mushrooms. + Meat marbling looks pretty nice for the price+ Service is great. Kenny, who I believe was our host/server was pretty on top of ensuring everything was going smoothly. Water check ups and lowering our heat (since its not customer controlled) without needing us to flag him down. + Menu/inclusions, most shabu places I know, either give you rice or ramen, so its nice to get both here- Not really a fan of limited broth choices, only 2 options are free and the other two have an up-charge. If they pick up Shabuway's curry tonkotsu I think I'd have no downsides. Nonetheless, very limited downsides but overall a great lunch option with their special. Service is great as the seating arrangement guarantees you can be seen when you need help."
