Hashi Gawa

I recently dined at Hashi Gawa Sushi Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with modern and traditional decor blending seamlessly. The service was attentive, and the staff offered great recommendations.I opted for the chef's tasting menu, and the sushi was incredibly fresh, with standout pieces like the tuna and salmon sashimi. The signature Hashi Gawa roll was a perfect balance of bold and delicate flavors. The sake selection was also excellent, pairing well with the meal.Overall, Hashi Gawa offers a top-tier sushi experience with fresh ingredients and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

Trendy and fun. The sushi is decent and very good for this little hidden spot in a local Alameda shopping center. Service is good, they come around and check on you a lot. The rice was different than a traditional sushi rice. The hubs did not prefer it. Kids ordered regular stuff... karage, ramen... it was all fine. Unsure if we will return or try some other spots in this part of the east bay for sushi.

It was so impressed, super great, especially the Lion King (my flavor). My husband not really like Japanese food but he loves the Japanese food here. All made by heart, it can tell. All stuff including the quality of foods (most important thing), food presentation & environment., etc worth 10 stars. I don't need to say too much, once you try it, you know what I'm saying. Highly recommended.

This wasn't my first time here, as it's a decent mid ranged sushi spot in the neighborhood. I decided to try the kaisen don ($39) this time and it came in a pretty interesting way. Rather than in a bowl, it came more like a sashimi spread. Very aesthetically pleasing, but it made it more difficult to eat. I prefer shoveling it all in my mouth with a spoon like I could do if it came in a bowl. But on the bright side, I think there was a pretty generous amount of sashimi given and I definitely struggled to finish! I thought there were some hints of yuzu salt in some of the pieces, which I also found to be unnecessary.

Name a omakase in the entire Bay Area at a better price point: $52 for 10 immaculate nigiri bites ($48 if you want sashimi). The highlights for me were the seared salmon belly with a dollop of spice, the akame (lean cut tuna) with wasabi, the umimasu (trout), and kanpachi (adult amberjack/yellowtail) with soy sauce. We also love their grilled kama - they offer salmon, hamachi, kanpachi, and tai (seabream), with the last two being especially large portions. You also cannot leave Hashi Gawa without ordering their uni+ikura spoon. I personally prefer Santa Barbara uni to Hokkaido uni (in addition to being cheaper it has a firmer texture that holds up better, it is also sweeter) but YMMV. Finally, I feel the need to highlight their freshly grated wasabi--it is so good and how wasabi should taste. It is so hard to go back to the stuff from the tube after you dine here.In any case, I feel torn posting this as an Alameda native, because I would hate to see a gem of a business like Hashi Gawa become super viral and turn into Fikscue (I'll never get to eat there again sigh). But it brings me so much joy to support the lovely owners and staff of this gem of a restaurant!

Where else can you go to get your own customized Omakase? This is my fave spots in the East Bay. They always have all my favorite cuts of fish, fresh oysters, and the yummiest Uni. The prices here is always pleasing, and I always leave satisfied after having my sashimi, nigiri, and sushi fix. Never disappointed. It's a small restaurant so expect long wait on weekends, but come before 5pm and you will get a table or sit at the bar and watch the chefs do their magic. **Follow my IG for more yummy places to try! **@Only1ChristineLu

Great lil spot tucked in an unassuming plaza. There's something for everyone on their menu, with better than average selection of fish, and dessert (hello black sesame cheesecake)!Been here a few times and the service is always impeccable even when they're slammed.

Our Omakase experience was incredible, featuring excellent service and incredibly fresh -- Hidden gem near Raley's in Alameda. Excellent menu, can't wait to return, and highly recommended!!

This location still brings back so many good memories.We used to frequent this location often, almost once a week, when it was Sushi King and when Mark was the owner. Okay, I am outdating myself...Quality/Quantity - Hashi Kaisen Don - Two orders. My friend's usual order sounded so good. Beautiful plating. I enjoyed the brown rice. Can you believe I am going to say this... Could have used a little more rice. Generous FRESH portions of seafood, etc. Comes with a salad and miso soup. I would have enjoyed just a little more salad dressing, but was too lazy to ask.Three Item Dinner Bento - Chicken Karaage, CA Roll, Combo Tempura; all were good. My friend enjoyed every bite. Actually none of us had leftovers! All of us felt like we could not finish when the food came out. Guess it was that good.Many specials, see pictures.Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Indoor seating only. Table or sushi bar.Open 6 days a week. Closed Mondays and only open on Tuesdays for dinner from 4:30pm to 9:30pm.On the rest of the days, their hours are 11:30am or noon until 9pm or 9:30pm. See picture or Yelp.Plenty of mall parking.Service - 6 stars. My childhood friends and I only get to see each other annually, so it was a great reunion. And we tend to talk and catch up for HOURS. Never felt any pressure to leave. Actually, they even kept refilling our waters. Thank you! Price - $112 + generous tip.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2021. Glad I chose this place for our "reunion" and look forward to coming back more often.

Came here at opening on a weekday and there were a few other early birds which speaks to the popularity of this place. Cute little place with tables and a bar. Service was quick and friendly. Easy to order via QR code and mobile device but the waitress also checked in and took orders for those who preferred the old fashion method. We ordered via phone and it was a breeze. The Omakase and nigiri were melt-in-your-mouth! Highly recommend the toro - delicious and a must-try.
