on Citysearch May 21, 2009This place is totally a joke. We had to wait a long time to get seated which is not as bad as service. Service was terrible. Servers were mean. NO SERViCE! We had to wait 15 minutes to get more tea and another 15 minutes to... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 21, 2008It's unfortunate that a sushi place that serves such fresh, yummy sushi offers such poor service! I love the sushi but the servers need to take a customer service 101 class to meet the needs of us, the customers! I dread... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2007Sushi house has some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Sure the food is okay and cheap, but it's still not worth the long waits and rude staff. I tried to make a phone reservation for 12 during their... (more)

on Citysearch May 19, 2007I would have tiped 0% but there was a 15% tip automatically added to our bill. The sushi here was ok, but the not worth the price, and to make matters worse the service was horrible. Seriously this wasn't just a bad day I... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 18, 2007OK if you are young and asian and don't care about waiting for an hour for OK sushi, then this is the place for you. With a big group of friends, it can be a lot of fun. And you can take a walk on the beach across the street... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 29, 2007There was once a time when I could justify tolerating a clueless restaurant staff that does not understand the basics of seating and quality customer service, in order to enjoy moderately priced and average quality... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2007My wife and I go there at least once a month. She says I'm crazy but I like to go to Sushi house because I like eating the sushi there. The wait can sometimes take forever though because its always packed.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 19, 2006I have eaten in many different establishments in Alameda, SF and NY and Sushi House is in my top two. The spicy tuna is so fresh and tasty. The edamame is warm. The less common rolls like the Cherry Blossom and the Crazy... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 04, 2006After trying and trying to get over the service at Sushi House, I can't. It's absolutely the worst, EVER. The sushi is good and some of it excellent, but the service is not worth the wait, time nor money.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 29, 2006I guess it's a toss up. Even at 5:30 on the weekends they're busy till 9p,. Try for cold boring days? Lunch before noon is a good time too. A lot of other cheaper sushi places can't match the price, portion, or even the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2006Coming from LA, I was a little spoiled with the likes of Sushi Nozawa (the sushi nazi) and Katsu-Ya, along with the scores of sushi places in west LA and Studio City -- so I'm a little picky with my sushi. This place had... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2006I am a sushi-holic. I've tried them all - Oakland, Berekeley, SF. This truly is the best Sushi I've had. The rolls are PACKED with the most delectable and FRESH fish-alot more than I can say for some of the more "popular"... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 16, 2006Late Thursday night, 15 minutes before Sushi House closes at 10pm. I wander in with a friend who almost got us lost. We waited maybe 10 min. We ordered Lion King, Poki, and Webster Rolls (Webster being my favorite).... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 11, 2006This used to be my favorite place for sushi until my friends and I found mold growing all over the sushi boat last time we went there. When we reported it to the waitress, not only we didnt get an apology, she was just plain... (more)

on Citysearch May 03, 2006I tried 3 times to have a positive experience @ Sushi House. It is close to my house and I actually like their sushi for the most part. What I can't stand is the cafeteria-worthy ambiance, the insanely poor service, and... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2006It's one thing to wait over an hour to be seated or as long to pick up a phone order you've called in with the anticipation of amazing food you just can't get anywhere else. It's quite another to go through all that and to... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 09, 2006Arrived at restaurant at 3;30 , received menu and were left out on the patio for the next 20+ minutes with no service. When waitress finally arrived, she said we could not order from tghe menu we had been handed because... (more)

on Judys Book Mar 16, 2006Ever since I've been in the Bay Area, I heard people rave about Sushi House...It's good but I don't really think its worth the long lines. The pricing isn't too shabby, but you don't really get that much at the same time.... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2006i learned not to eat there on weekends. though they moved to a bigger space, they didnt hire more servers. ex. of lousy service & idiotic waitresses: ate there during the week. wait was 20 mins. bc they didnt clear a... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 26, 2006I agree with all the reviews listed. The service seriously needs fine tuning: non responsive waitresses, lack of attentiveness, absolute stupidity at times. You ask for water and all you get is air. There is NO... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2006I went on a Monday night, so maybe that's why I escaped the notoriously long wait. I also only experienced half the poor service nightmare of some. Our first waitress came while I was still mulling over the myriad of... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2006Great selection of sushi rolls: better than anything else they serve there, (bento, sashimi, udon, and whatnot) Despite LONG wait and reservations not allowed, highly recommended simply for its good sushi!!... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2006Mediocre food, noisy setting, and horrible service. The long wait is bad enough, but listening to waitresses ridiculing their customers in Korean, having to deal with cups and utensils with remnants from the last... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 14, 2006The Sushi House proved to be a delightful morsel for my rather expensive therapist to pick apart considering how intolerable incompetence can be. Don't get me wrong, a busy restaurant is a busy restaurant, but even... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 30, 2005It doesn't matter what day you go, this place is always crowded. Expect to wait at least an hour for dinner. I'm not sure if it's because there aren't too many sushi restaurants in the East Bay, but this place is way... (more)
