Decided to visit kaki after reading the reviews. However, it turned out to be a big disappointment. Food: food was merely average. Ordered Dinner combo beef short ribs with sushi. The bed ribs were burnt and overcooked, a bit on the salty side. The salmon sushi and yellowtail sushi were fresh, but the tuna sushi were not fresh, might have been sitting idle for too long. California roll was average good. Service: I would give it a 0 if it is available. I was greeted by the restaurant hostess, who seated me fairly quickly. Then it went downhill. A Korean waitress attended me, very impatient in answering my questions to the menu. Didnt bring me eating plate or the little sauce plate to put soy sauce and wasabi in. When finishing the meal, I asked it would be possible for the waitress to help pack my sushi as my hands are tied on the phone. She rolled her eyes, and yelled "why" "this is not a 5 star restaurant"...I am not sure why she behaved this way as there are very few customers around for dinner and she was mostly just chatting with other waitors. Overall, it was a big disappointment. Food was at or below average, service was terrible. Will not return.

I went there to eat for the first time with my wife because the reviews seemed solid with over 400 reviews and it fell short. I call Kaki Sushi shortly after my experience letting them know I wanted to tell the manager or experience and no one has returned my call. This leads me to believe they do not care about their customers and how they can improve. I have eaten at probably every sushi restaurant in Pleasanton and many in Dublin and this was sadly the worst around. I ordered the ika fry and it was too chewy and the oil it was fried in was old. I have made ika dry at home and mine might not have been as tasty but it was not chewy or cooked in burned oil. I also ordered a roll and bento box, not special at all. The salmon in the bento box wasnt flavored, rather tasteless. The miso soup was also lacking some flavor, I could confidently say my home made miso soup was more tasty. I am still hoping someone from the restaurant will call me back so I can let them know of my experience. To make up for this experience Im looking to go back to my go-to sushi spot Meiko and Zakuro.

I think this place is super cute! And I like the fact that you get a free potato cake (like a latke) and a free scoop of ice cream (size of mochi ice cream). Everyone is super friendly and the sushi is delicious. The first time I went here, I had the Honey honey roll which is unagi, tamago and avocado in a sweet sauce. And I thought it was at a good price. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. I came back here recently with a friend because we had a serious craving for sushi. I had a veggie roll and inari. The veggie roll had avocado, seaweed, egg, and cucumber. It was quite filling. My friend ended up devouring two rolls, so I know she liked it. Kaki is tucked away on the corner next to Walmart, so parking may be in issue depending on the time of day. We were fortunate to find parking nearby. We didnt wait long for our food, so I think the turnaround time is normal.

The food here was great, but the service & prices are going to keep me coming back! The staff was super friendly and even gave us a complimentary piece of fried fish! The fish was battered and fried to perfection, and big enough for 2 to share. We were pleased with all of the 5 rolls we ordered. To top it off, the complimentary ice cream at the end had to be the best green tea ice cream Ive ever had!! The decor is outdated and needs a little help; old traditonal Japanese style with floral seat pads! Too many positives to pay attention for too long though. I will definitely become a regular here!!!

I have been visiting this place for a very very long time, and I have always preferred the sushi here above all other sushi locations in Pleasanton. In fact I like this place more than most places I have ever visited outside of Pleasanton. Perhaps, some day in Japan, I might finally find a sushi place that is better than Kaki. Still if that day were to come, I would always still appreciate the great food and people her at Kaki Sushi, and thank them every day that I visit them for giving Pleasanton and the Tri Valley the best Sushi ever.

Kaki is fantastic, the owners are the cutest couple and give great personal service. When you order food, it comes with a potato pancake, edamame, and ice cream, no matter what you order. I usually goin for their sushi rolls, though Ive tried the Bento box as well. Both are very tasty, but the rolls especially are the best; not too messy, deep friend just right, and the sauce is to die for. Their decorations are cooky and random but its great. Also, the cook likes to send people Saki shots to do with him ;) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First visit and would love to go more often. Large menu, friendly service, good food. We were given a free appetizer of breaded fried fish (big enough to split at least 2 ways). Included was also edamame, misi soup, hot tea, and a small scoop of green tea ice cream. The three of us enjoyed our own rolls and shared an order of pot stickers and hot sake. All of this for only about $15/person. If it wasnt a 45 minute drive for us, wed definitely be frequent visitors.

Kaki Sushi is generous, authentic and friendly. You will get complimentary fried fish, miso soup, salad and your choice of green or mango ice cream. Tea lovers may like the fact that Kaki serves the kind of green tea with roasted rice (genmaicha). Their menu has many options; that along with their specials are great at a very reasonable price. Their raw fish tastes quite fresh. If youre nearby, you should definitely try Kaki Sushi.

Very good sushi here with excellent customer service. They gave us a free "Aloha roll" dish - which was pretty good. They also gave us free green tea ice cream at the end. We ordered the Big Mac sushi which was good. My favorite ones were the Alaska roll (if you like Avocado - you will def. like this one) and the OMG roll. They also have a frequent buyer card, which gives you credit for free sushi!

My friend is visiting from the Phillipines and she wanted to try good Japanese food and we found Kakis on Google Search as well as other places and she was very happy I picked this place over Sozos and Main Street Sushi in Pleasanton. Needless to say, the experience was wonderful. The food was great and fresh. The staff was all smiles and friendly. Im definitely coming back here

If you want bad food really quickly, and lots of it, this is the place for you. Bountiful portions, but bland and not fresh. Youll keep your miso soup by your plate so you can wash down the sushi. I was misled by several great reviews -- perhaps they have great food for the regulars and poor for others. Dont be fooled.
