    I ate here last evening which was Thanksgiving. Food was delicious. I had shrimp, scallops and calamari. My son ordered steak and lobster. The food was fresh and seasoned perfectly. It was great fun watching it cooked in front of us. Also the people at our table were friendly and kind. It was a special holiday experience.

    We have been here 4-6 times. As always the food was phenomenal. The service is discrete but attentive. The tomahawk is cooked perfectly. The bone marrow is unbelievable. The salads are tasty and lightly dressed. The potato stack amazing. We tried pig ears tonight: wow. The deserts have different flavors, different textures and colors. Mainly good. And one does not get bored with it

    We live Fush & Bird! In all of the East Bay it is probably the most authentic Japanese food that one can find. The sashimi is very fresh. The temporary light and the tofu is phenomenal. I always look forward to returning to this wonderful restaurant!
