Ebiko

Amazing grab and go sushi for a steal! I always stop by when I'm in the area. I've tried their omakase set before and I liked it. This time around I grabbed the salmon aburi and I found my new go-to. It was so so good and buttery. I also got the tuna avo, which was pretty standard. Would definitely get their nigiris here over the rolls!

A clean little Japanese grocery shop that has an assortment of local snacks as well as fresh made sushi. With a wide selection of nigiri, rolls, and chirashi bowls, it's a nice place to grab a quick bite during the day.There's usually a line given the small storefront, however it moves quickly as people generally grab-and-go. The quality of the sushi is good, however, the portion size is on the smaller side for the prices they charge. If you do go there for lunch, just be prepared for the fact you may get hungry again in a couple hours. That being said, definitely still worth a try.

Food - freshAmbiance - quick, grab and goService - okIt becomes my Go2quick lunch Place is simple with prepped sushi freshly made for the lunch crowd As you see o went a bit overboard. Getting more than one serving All items were so fresh The unagi was ok, but the charred salmon was our favorite. So yummy An ideal place for a quick bite

While in Oakland, I stumbled upon this place and felt like I hit the jackpot. | v i b e |The vibe is like a Japanese konbini, except it's just snacks and to-go sushi. Very straightforward. The cashier was friendly and offered me great recommendations when I asked her.| f o o d |Considering that it is ready-made sushi in the States, I was mindblown at how fresh and reasonably priced everything was! There's a great selection of nigiri, bowls, and rolls that you can choose from. It took some time to decide because I wanted all of them!! I decided on the spicy salmon roll and tuna omakase set (both recommended to me by the cashier). Both the tuna and salmon were soooo fresh! It felt like I was transported back to eating sushi in Japan. | t l ; d r |I'm surprised this place doesn't have more hype. I found out after that they have a location in SF, too! Fantastic take-out, ready-made sushi that's reasonably priced.

Best / freshest to go sushi you can get. The prices are insane, they compare to Safeway sushi prices but for high quality. It's made fresh all throughout the day. Absolutely a must if you need a quick tasty bite.

Apparently 2024 was the year of sushi for me - I don't even want to think about how much money I spent on sushi throughout the year, but ebiko offers good nigiri at a decent price! I've been back a couple of times and it's usually pretty good! Some days it tastes fresher than others, but it's always a step above normal supermarket sushi and they give pretty thick cuts. I think the first time I went, I was a bit disappointed because it was as amazing as it looks, but now that I know what to expect, it always hits the spot. Plus I'm a sucker for anything seared salmon, and they always have aburi salmon (seared salmon nigiri) here. The flavor of that one is always on point!The only downside is that parking in this area of piedmont is pretty trash, but I'll deal with it to get decently priced nigiri.

Aaah I'm so happy Ebiko is within walking-distance of my office.Decadent, indulgent, always extremely-fresh sushi delights available in an attractive, open refrigerated-display. If you enjoy great quality sushi this is the place for you. The best part is that everything is prepared so you get all the quality of a nice restaurant without the wait - perfect for weekday work lunch.

When we're in the area, this place is a must for the greal deal on high quality cuts of fish they have. I got the classic omakase and my SO got the salmon. Mmm every bite was delectable and fresh. It always makes me want to buy another 5 trays!

Oakland has truly earned the reputation for being a foodie city. My son had wanted to try Ebiko based on the positive reviews. I was hesitant about eating pre boxed sushi. Visions of 7-11 counter sushi filled my head. Boy was I wrong, everything tasted fresh. The rice was still soft ,and fish still had a nice firm texture. Somebody from the back came out to restock the cooler while we were trying to decide. This is for takeout only. Street parking only.

I visited on a Tuesday afternoon around 1PM and found parking to be super difficult. Eventually found a meter spot after circling for 20 ish minutes. Funny enough, two cop cars were near, reporting a broken in car. I walked in and the place seemed neat and clean. It's a simple space, a openshelf refrigerator with sushi, a closed fridge with drink and a few shelves with Japanese snacks. There were about two other people purchasing food while I was there. The selection of sushi was limited and had mostly basics, tuna and salmon, one of them had a variety but was a bit more pricier. I grabbed:[Salmon avocado roll $8.50]3/5 The sushi roll was quite bland. Most of the time, you can taste the rice vinegar, this one tasted very plain. [Spicy salmon roll $8.95 I think]4/5This was a bit more flavorful since it was spicy salmonOverall, the price is great for sushi, but I found the rolls lacking in flavor. Which a simple roll should have some distinct flavors. After a dunk in soy sauce and Wasabi it was better. In addition, the cashier seemed displeased that I didn't tip more than 15%, when it's mostly self service. I grab my own food, put my own food in my own bag, and grab my own utensils and soy sauce. Not sure what I'm tipping for when it's a grab and go shop. Probably wouldn't come again, the parking was just too difficult. The sushi was sub par. Cute shop though!
