I was playing a Japanese game and saw them eating sushi so I got fomo.Never been here and ordered off doordash!As you can see in pic, everything arrived still well presented. I got the nigiri mix, and the following extra: eel, squid and octopus. The mix came with miso soup and a salad.Everything tasted fresh!!!! Loved the value of the pieces chosen. My only con is that i ordered 2 eel, and the chef chose one of the nigiri mix to be eel. Bleh, could have been tuna or something else.Anyway I've added this to my bay area doordash eats! And if you see my reviews, you'll see I'm VERY particular.

Been coming here since undergrad and it's become a staple. Good quality sushi at good prices especially for the Bay Area. We ordered the dragon roll, unagi nigiri, and pink lady, which looking back was a lot of unagi but it worth it! I love how fresh the fish tasted and the amount they give you though they are a bit heavy on the sauce. These three rolls are definitely shareable for two. We also got hot sake and they gave us a miso soup. If you're craving sushi and want a spot that's convenient this is your place.

Attended a group event here on a Saturday night. I've been to Kansai before and dined in the regular area, but this time since we had a large group reservation, we were seated in a back patio area. I've gone to a lot of group dinner reservations before and I think this was the most unorganized experience I've had. After getting seated, it took maybe an hour before they started taking our orders. After that, it took about 45 minuted for us to get our food. It was pretty confusing though because they didn't remember who ordered what, so they were just calling out dishes and randomly placed them on the tables. Some dishes took so long to come out that people just started eating whatever was available, even if it wasn't what they ordered. With all that said, the food was pretty good-- so I would likely come back, but not with a group.

Great Bento Box lunch specials, they're impressive but won't break your pockets.$15 out the door. I used to go late nights on the weekends back in the day, my palate is a bit more refined these days. Perfect for like good for late night eats and drinks if you still bar hop and such. Great for quick take out lunch if you don't.

I always have a great experience, whether through the kind waiters or the food, at Kansai. Especially during their Happy Hour, my friends and I make the most of the prices and the huge and flavorful rolls. The baked mussels were cheesy and a great start to the other rolls.Come and do sake bombs in the back room!!

Perfect Sushi Night! We want here as a group of 5 and noticed it was VERY busy but luckily they sat us within 10min! Everyone got some rolls and the atmosphere was great, but if loud is not your vibe it might be too much...My favorite was definitely the Fried Godzilla roll and the complimentary miso soup was a perfect appetizer.I would love to come back for a date night not to mention they stay open LATE definitely visiting again!!

My car was broken into in their parking lot. Manager gave me such a hassle when trying to ask for help. She said she would email me the footage just to get me out the door, and never did. My entire back windshield ($500) was broken into on THEIR property and they refused to offer any assistance whatsoever. Unbelievably rude. Wouldn't eat here even if it was free.

Kansai is my go to sushi place. I love their selection of rolls. There's so many options that anyone can find something they like. The thing that keeps me coming back to this place is that the rolls are so BIG! Compared to other places I've tried for sushi, these rolls have much more filling. I feel like the size of the rolls really makes them worth the price. The pieces were too big for me or my friend to finish in one bite. This is a pretty popular spot but we didn't have to wait for a table, which was nice. Also- parking in this area is pretty limited. Kansai has their own private lot but it's small. It was full when we got there but I was able to find street parking nearby

This Kansai location is in a busy area of Oakland, the intersection here is a bit awkward. There is a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant, which I was glad to get the last parking spot in because I did not want to park on the street and possibly come back to a broken window, which had happened to my friends a few times already. I had a bad feeling about coming here because of my previous bad experience, but I wanted to give them a chance because I used to like it before that previous time - I wished I could say my intuition was wrong, but it was definitely on point, so I was a bit disappointed that I did not listen to it. I ordered ahead of time on the phone for a takeout order, which I thought would had been ready by the time of my arrival. The employee assured me that it was coming out, so I paid, went to the bathroom to wash my hands, came back, and still had to wait, but there front is setup in a way where there is barely any room to stand with barely enough room for people to come in to check in or pay / pick up at the podium. At this time, there were a big wave of groups of customers trying to come / squeeze in (waiting to get seated to dine in). The employee disappeared and a different employee came to ask me what I was waiting for - he went to go ask her and she did some gestures, then looked annoyed towards me, no one came back, until my food was ready and he packed / brought my order over. I ordered an order each of the sake maki, kani nigiri, and sake nigiri. The sake maki and sake nigiri was fishy and did not taste fresh - the nigiri was not that neatly packed and it was smothered in the wasabi when I opened it to check my food (I do not really like wasabi either). I ended up putting a lot of soy sauce on sushi to mask the fishiness and wasabi taste, which I usually do not prefer because I like using minimal soy sauce for the salmon taste. The kani nigiri was probably the best sushi roll out of the 3 and it was a bit bland and flavorless - I ended up having to add a lot of soy sauce to this as well for any sort of taste. I ended up getting decently bad food poisoning from this spot afterwards.
