origin sushi

A local gem in the East Bay! High quality sushi with warm friendly atmosphere. Chef Ray and his wife are a dynamic duo! You can taste the passion and creativity in each dish. I always get excited to bring friends here to try their tasting menu. My partner loves their karaage. The nigiris are carefully hand crafted. Even the dessert is fresh made in house daily! I came on multiple occasions to celebrate birthdays with friends and loved ones. 1000% recommended. 🩷☺️

I was craving sashimi so I visited this place. Not a big place and it was not busy during dinner time. I wanted chicken karaage, but they ran out. Got the friend pork dumplings instead. They were good, but nothing to write home about. I would have ordered draft beer if they had any. They were accommodating as I wanted to substitute salmon with hamachi in their salmon oyakodon. I know it makes sense to have salmon as the sashimi, but I like hamachi better so I asked for it. The quality of the fish was good. The bowl was not big enough, but at least it was fresh. I may come back again as they have a 3-small bites, 9-piece nigiri, soup and dessert menu for $79. However, based on my appetite, that may not be enough for me either.

If you are a sushi connoisseur, you should know about spot already. I’m sad I’ve only recently discovered this place. Run by a husband and wife duo with a unique touch. Food was immaculate and highly recommend. We are definitely heading back soon!

HOLY COW! Hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve ever been to! Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The fish melted in my mouth and the service was fast and friendly! I’ll definitely be coming back 😋

Fantastic quality sushi, unpretentious atmosphere, more than reasonable prices. I ordered an omakase and the sushi chef asked me for specific feedback afterwards even though everything was great. It's too bad I don't live nearby or this would be my go-to place in the area. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality nigiri, although they do offer the standard Lion/King/Spider/49er/Dragon roll combos.
