We stopped by for a late Christmas Eve-eve dinner with family. The food is still decent. I liked the fried tofu. That was probably my favorite thing since I wasn't super hungry this time. The spicy edemame wasn't a hit with the family. My kids thought it was too spicy so I ate most of it and we didn't take any of the leftovers home.Coupons can't be used for groups, only for take out so I didn't need to sign up for their text messages. Service was fine, I didn't think they wanted to be there during the holiday season but they were nice.

Recently came here for dinner with a group of friends on Valentine's Day. I've passed by this location many times. They have a small parking lot, so when it's busy prepare to park on the street. Luckily there's plenty of street parking in the area. We were able to reserve the tatami table, which I loved, it was comfortably and the seat had a back. We ordered the chicken karaage, fried chicken skin, sashimi combo, and sushi tray c. It was more than enough for 7 adults and 1 child. The sashimi combo and sushi tray came with fresh fish and the rolls were different enough that it didn't feel like you're eating the same thing over and over. The only complaints I have is that the service was pretty slow, and I'm sure a big part of this is due to how busy they were as it was Valentine's Day. The price is also on the steeper side. Would I go back here again? Most likely!

*4.5*An upscale sushi spot open until midnight? Count me in! Stopped by Kaisen don for dinner around 11PM on a Tuesday and had my expectations blown out of the water. Although their storefront is an unassuming standalone building with its own small parking lot, the interior is anything but, featuring a blend of modern and traditional Japanese decor and architecture that whisks you into another world. Wood and bamboo accents are the name of the game here, present in everything from the tatami room to the crisscrossing beams of the restaurant's ceiling.I was one of only two parties enjoying dinner at the time, so there were no issues with service from my server Dong. To start, I ordered crispy salmon skin dish and gyutan, or seasoned grilled beef tongue. The fry on the salmon skin was quite thick and gave it a hollow sort of crunch that was immensely satisfying, but the salt factor and yuzu flavor that it came with made the dish a little overwhelming. The gyutan was on the chewier side but had a great charred flavor that was perfect with the green onion and lemon.My entree deserves a paragraph of its own and honestly a spot on my sushi HOF: the omakase bowl. When I ordered, Dong let me know that they were out of amaebi for the night and if a slice of A5 wagyu as a substitute would be an appropriate substitute, which I delightfully obliged. The hefty $59.99 price point was more than justified by the fish quality, which might actually be some of the best I've had to date. Out of the 12 cuts present in my chirashi bowl, the standouts were the sea bream, seared bluefin tuna, halibut (firm!) and amberjack. Each piece tasted like it was at the peak of freshness, and a few came with instructions to eat as is as they had been pre-seasoned by the chef accordingly. I will dream of this bowl for a while.I sincerely wish I could come here more often for casual dining but it unfortunately lies outside of my regular price range. However, there's no mistaking that I'll be back soon. Thank you!

A nice, cozy Japanese restaurant to get delicious Japanese food from!My friends and I stopped here for a dinner and we were able to make a reservation for here. For a Sunday at 5:00 PM, the restaurant was somewhat empty however more people came by throughout the night. We did family style so we ordered an array of dishes. My notable dishes of the night were the takowasa, kaisen don, and the estudillo roll. The takowasa has the perfect kick of wasabi and it was the perfect cleanser for in between meals; I've had some takowasa where it was not enough wasabi or it was too much wasabi to where I cannot enjoy it. The kaisen don was so yummy! From the plentiful ikura to the sushi rice, it was such a well balanced meal for all to enjoy, It also comes with a bowl of miso soup. The estudillo roll took me by surprise because I did not expect a lot of flavors from a sushi roll. All of our seafood tasted so fresh and for a reasonable price! Apparently, we also came during happy hour but there was no happy hour menu so we weren't aware of what we could've ordered.

I'm so glad there's a sushi spot that is open late, has delicious food, and really great service. My flight into Oakland was delayed and I was worried I wouldn't find a place that was still going to be serving food after 10 pm. Thankfully Kaisen don is open until midnight, they even offer happy hour specials where certain items are priced a little bit less if you are there at a later time. We ordered a lion king roll, spicy tuna rolland one pork belly skewer. The skewer comes with a spicy seasoning you can add on top which was really tasty, and my favorite dish was the simple spicy tuna roll. I would also recommend getting hot tea while you're there, our waitress says they only use the good stuff- green tea and roasted rice.

I placed on order online or I called on 1/11/25. I was greeted by a gentleman when I walked in. I told him I have an order to go. He didn't ask for my name or order number and told me to have a seat. I just thought they were super busy and my order would take a bit longer. 10 minute past and a female server asked me if I was waiting for an order and I told her yes she walked away and didn't come back. Another 10 minutes past and I finally walked up and asked the gentleman that greeted me that if my order was ready. He thought I was going to place an order and I showed him the receipt. His eyes widened and from his facial expression you could tell that he knew he messed up. He walked away and came back with my food. I asked him if my food had been ready from the moment I walked in and he apologized for the inconvenience and gave me a side of green looking noodle dish. I can't remember the name of it. This was my 1st experience at Kaisen Don.

Went here to try out their lion king roll, which is always my favorite roll at all Japanese restaurants. Unfortunately, I was majorly disappointed. The rolls not only were the smallest portion I've ever seen, but they were very, very dry and lacked the taste and flavor you usually get with lion king. Cost was high considering how much you get for it as well. On the other hand, the staff were very very nice. Just wish I had liked the food more.

Came here after taking a class for work because this spot was nearby, and I heard this place was pretty good so here I am. I ordered the negitoro, uni, and ikura don. The presentation of this was just beautiful. You can tell it's high quality. Not to mention, this also tasted amazing. Everything just melts in your mouth.The service here was good also. The server was very attentive. The decor of this place is stellar. Definitely shows off traditional Japanese style. Try it out if you like. :)

I remember when this restaurant was Shogun. Such an epic place to dine. Love the decor and tatami rooms. We came to Kaisen Don for happy hour and it was ok. We had the Hamachi Poke, Sunset Roll, a dozen oysters and hot sake. The waiter was unable to tell us where the oysters were from. So it was a surprise! Good thing we are brave adventurous eaters! The poke was my favorite. It wasn't much of a deal for happy hour but I'm glad we got to try. Still enjoy the Japanese decor.
