Mujiri

This review was more so for the really sweet server who was super attentive to my girlfriend and I during our lunch. You made us feel like we ate at a really upscaled restaurant and it meant a lot.To those who are debating about eating here? Just do it. You get the fancy fish cuts for a fraction of the price. BUT don't expect to come here and find your california rolls on the menu or a big space to fit more than five adults. It's a hole in the wall with amazing food. Will always come back.

Solid sushi spot in Hayward. I've been here a couple of times and haven't had a bad experience. I went recently for their valentines pre fix omakase and it was definitely unique. Food -- 9/10Nigiri Combo Set has great variety for the price. The iwana (artic char) was my favorite. Toro is always good. Appetizers I've tried so far were ok (chawanmushi and seaweed salad). I would stick to just nigiri. Valentines pre fix menu was definitely outside of my comfort zone. I'm glad I was able to try some unique delicacies but my favorites of the night were the nigiri's on their standard menu. Service -- 10/10Great service all around. Environment -- 9/10Small cozy restaurant. Definitely make reservations ahead of time. Parking can be a hit or miss depending on the night. You may need to find a parking lot nearby and walk a couple blocks. Cleanliness -- 10/10Value -- 10/10High quality sushi for a fair price.

My first visit to Mujiri came with no expectations, and they far exceeded them. The service was friendly and the food delicious. They have a great Ala carte menu with an omakase option, and some fun cocktail/sake options as well. The price was quite reasonable, too! Unfortunately, the business is quite small so showing up without a reservation can be quite a wait as it seems very popular. With good reason, though, because the experience is wonderful! Just make sure to plan ahead and make a reservation, especially if you have more than two people.

ordered takeout for lunch. It was pretty good, but not my favorite. I noticed that there were some tables inside it's quite small. It was around 1pm and there wasn't much people inside.The sushi tasted alright to me, the fish wasn't as fresh and what I had at other spots.

Amazing service & team! I had to call in to adjust my reservation. They were very nice about it! The indoor dining is a very tight and intimate space. Not great for parties 4+ but I do think it's perfect for date nights! The nigiris were amazing!!! & their yuzu cocktail is a must get! We had to basically try everything on the menu because everything was tasting so fresh and delicious! I love the way the sushi chefs would pair sauces and garnishes on some of the rolls and nigiri! I am absolutely a fan of this restaurant, I just wish we had one closer to the South Bay!

I prefer their o.g Emeryville location for overall quality and vibes, but the Hayward location service has always been consistently better. The food ordering system is fully electronic too. We decided to splurge a bit to try the shirako iykyk . The creaminess was there, but the flavor was more mild than we remembered. Anyway, it's a Japanese delicacy so y'all should give it a try!

Same as the Oakland location, Mujiri has the absolute best prices in Bay Area for the quality of fish you get. The Hayward location even has more specials on their menu! I personally found the service to be more attentive and having a much shorter wait time as well. If I lived closer to Hayward, I'd probably opt to come here more often than Oakland. However some cons from this visit were that the ikura was way too salty and the table was freshly wiped with likely dirty water and it smelled rancid the entire time we sat there. Hopefully just a one off bad day.

My go to place to bring friends, a night out, or to pop in and grab a solo bite to eat. I live nearby so this is a great addition to the neighborhood without having to drive a ridiculous distance for good sushi. I have also ordered a crazy amount of take out from here too. It's always a hit and still fresh by the time I get home. Service can be a little hit or miss but it depends on how busy they are. The one guy who runs the host stand/waiter is great and always quick. My go to is their nigiri combo which comes with 7 pieces of fish and a hosomaki. I also love their spicy salmon roll.

Delicious and authentic sushi in Hayward? YES!!Caught up with an old friend here for dinner on a recently Tuesday evening. We got here a few minutes after opening and half the tables were already taken with a couple others reserved. We were fortunate that there was one open table for us besides at the sushi bar.The restaurant sports a small and intimate setting with just a handful of tables plus seating at the bar. There's a QR code on the table where you place your order. Multiple people in your party can scan the same code and add items to the "single tab/order". You pay for the meal at the end through your waiter or waitress and not online.We ordered two rounds of food which included 11 pairs of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The wall displayed a handwritten menu of fresh fish from Japan, offering unique options we hadn't tried before. All which could be ordered via the online menu. The fish was fresh and was presented in a suggested order from which nigiri to start and end with. Service was attentive and welcoming.I also ordered their two vegetarian sushis togo and they were packaged in a cool wooden tray with a plastic cover. Great presentation even for a to-go order!Street parking can be tough but there is a public lot directly across the street with at least 30-40 spaces.I can't wait to come back...but this time I'll make a reservation.

Mujiri might be the best sushi restaurant in Hayward at the moment. When I say sushi I'm not talking about the typical lion king rolls or caterpillar rolls. They make fresh nigiri rolls and serve fresh sashimi here. Nothing but fresh simple and good quality ingredients. Who knew there would be a gem tucked away in Hayward next to a auto shop. The restaurant is perfect for a date night or even a solo treat yourself evening. I think the max capacity in there is around 20 people. Either sit at the bar and chat with the chefs or crammed in the corner table that can fit 4 max. A friend recommended this restaurant and told us they import their fish daily from Japan. Which I don't think is very common with a lot of Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area. I doubt the fish on your Lion King is imported from Japan. The menu here is simple. They serve nigiri, sashimi and a variety of maki rolls. It might sound small but it's actually a vast selection. Also a nigiri combo for $25 is pretty good deal. That's a price I didn't pass up. First bite and you can tell the quality is up to par. Every piece tasted fresh and the sushi rice is addicting. In my opinion, soy sauce is not needed here. The flavor from just the fish and rice alone is enough. So high quality food and great staffs all around. I will be back for another meal.
