Makiyaki

Solid hole in the wall with nice interior and good service. Standard Japanese fair from bento box options to sushi and more. Great prices for good quality in comparison to other spots close by.

Always a great time at this place! Literally every single sushi item or other traditional Japanese food that you can order here is so tasty. I have never once ordered anything that I regretted because every single item is so unique with its own flavors and presentation.Also have to admit that the staff here are always so friendly and welcoming no matter who you are or how picky you might be. With its cozy lighting, and the place not being super high occupancy, service here is always great.

Makiyaki is a win, especially for the price. I had the bento box, and it was really filling and delish. The California rolls were thick, fresh, and way better than expected--clean flavors, no shortcuts. The salmon was Soft, buttery, and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, nothing felt rushed or cut corners. Service was excellent--attentive, fast, and friendly. For the quality of food and service at this price point, it's a standout spot. Definitely worth coming back.

I think we found our new favorite Japanese spot close to home! We moved to San Leandro this year and tried a lot of Japanese places in the area. We came here on a Monday night at 6:45pm and it wasn't that busy. There's only few tables inside so this place is probably packed on the weekends. I ordered the Hamachi Kama dinner entree. I love Hamachi Kama, and was surprised to see it as a dinner entree. A lot of places that have Hamachi Kama serve it as an appetizer and it's usually around $13-16. So I was surprised to see it for $14. My meal included miso soup, salad, and rice. I also ordered spicy tuna roll for my side. The Hamachi Kama was cooked perfectly and the skin was crispy. It also came with a vinegar based sweet soy dipping sauce which I liked a lot. My spicy tuna was delicious as well and not dry and stringy like some places. The customer service was excellent and they kept checking on us and refilling our water. I can't wait to come back.

Okay, I love it here. I work nearby and haven't tried many restaurants in the area. My husband and I were gonna get boba and decided to try it out here. Everything is delicious. The salad dressing is light, and the teriyaki sauce was so good. The fish was really fresh and the chicken I ordered was not chewy at all. We ordered a few sushi rolls and they were also delicious! I love that the tempura doesn't have too much batter on it. You know what I mean lol. Everything was so good we came back again for lunch the next day with the kids. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Refilling tea and cleaning off empty plates as needed. I feel like it's really affordable too compared to other sushi places near by. It's a cute little restaurant and I'll be coming here often!

Came here on a fluke. It was late, they were close, and they were open. I'm glad I stopped in. The food was really good and the service was just as nice. Definitely coming here again

I have been going here for many many years and the quality is always top-tier. Food is always good. Service is always good. Love this place 10 out of 10 little hole in the wall in San Leandro

Fresh and delicious! Perfect for the hot weather! Not a bloated feeling just delicious and amazing!

A great place for Sushi! Everyone here is always welcoming. We usually dine in for lunch. Easy parking. Ordered the Yummy Roll and salad. Both were great! Very inviting place. We will continue to visit!

Makiyaki is our go to for Japanese food when visiting San Leandro. The food is fresh, delicious and good sized portions. We always do take out so I cannot comment on the dine in experience. I highly recommend the teriyaki tofu and vegetable tempura.
