Reviews for Tsuru Sushi Japanese Restaurant in San Leandro, CA

Visiting Oakland area on a business trip. Glad to find this gem sushi restaurant. All the food I had was great! Raw oysters,... nirgiri (forgot to get pics but I had 6 pieces - 4 yellow tuna and 2 recommended by owner forgot what it was), and lobster roll.Service was fine. Read more

We've gone multiple times and every time both the food and service are amazing. So welcoming! We love the Hamachi roll. Will... continue to visit this wonderful sushi place. Read more

Some of the freshest fish I've had. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! Can't wait to go again

One time I went in person and ordered my dinner and I repeated three times with the actual number of the item. the lady messed... up. She brought the wrong number of soups and salads. Only brought two forks for four people asking for them. More recently Iordered food to go. The teriyaki sauce was hardly added. The chicken was dry! Read more

Tsuru Sushi, located in E-14th St., San Leandro, California, seats about 45-49 people on a good day. So hubby & I decided to... try another Japanese place just for the helluvit. Ta-dah: Tsuru Sushi! For appetizers, we had savory grilled oysters & xiu mai.Hubby then ordered his usual salmon teriyaki while I ordered chirashi (mixed sashimi, miso soup, salad, & sushi rice).Honestly, I liked the fresher & bigger sashimi portions at Angry Fish better, which could be had at a lower price, too. Servicewas listless & inattentive. Piped-in music was a great mood-setter. Overall impact: OK, but needs improvement. Read more

The raw oysters were delicious, but pricey. The tempura was 8/10. The fried chicken wings were also pricey ($9 for 4 tiny wings)... but they were very good, as well. The yakitori was average. Unfortunately, while our server was very nice, she couldn't speakone word of English, so we could almost not communicate at all. I noticed some discrepancy on the bill that may have been acompletely innocent mistake, but I couldn't even figure out how to bring it up and decided to just let it slide. We probablywon't be back anytime soon but again, the food was good. Read more

Awesome oysters, need to figure out how they make the oysters. I really liked the shaggy tempura really good.

My friends and I were super hungry and were walking around when we came across this place. We thought why not and decided to... give it a try. It?s a small sushi place and the service is super friendly. It was around 8:30PM and not very crowded. We orderedthe nabeyaki udon, badass roll, oshinko maki, and the dragon roll. The udon was pretty good, the noodles weren?t too soft andthe soup was pretty flavorful. The badass roll was really good and would definitely come back to get it. The oshinko wasunexpected but expected, they didn?t specify what type of pickle was in there. The dragon roll was pretty good, they stuffed it.Everything was very filling and tasty. At the end, they gave us a digestif at the end that came with oranges. It was a nicesurprise and delicious way to end the meal! Read more
