“ Adding a review because I noticed this place had a much lower rating than I would give I order door dash from them often and have always been happy with the food. I have closer places to my house but I like to order from here because it just tastes better for some reason! Nigiri is my favorite. Very fresh and a good portion. ”
“ Best sushi I have tried in north Oakland area. Their specials are sooo good and the spicy scallop roll is unique and always on my mind ”
“ No joke eat here all the time, this is our go to sushi spot! Fish is SO fresh, order comes in a timely manner, and sometimes they pack some goodies in the sashimi. Cant really speak to atmosphere with it being a ghost kitchen but I hope they someday can have a lil restaurant Popcorn shrimp role is insane, love that torched flavor The sakekawa and negihama roll are tasty. Their sashimi is delicious and tender. Honestly cant go wrong. Thanks for all you do, keep cookin please!! Probably ordering again tonight... ”
“ This place is FIRE! Incredibly delicious and very needed in this neighborhood. Super fresh and fantastic flavors. My order was ready FAST. Highly recommend. ”
“ The Longfellow Food Hall or Food Pickup is a new 2021 Cloud Kitchen food prep facility at 5333 Adeline in North Oakland. I have been there, and picked up my own orders. It has a parking lot across the street, but I can always find a spot near the lobby. Pickup is easy right now, as theres only around 10 ghost kitchens inside. Some are great, some not too good. ”
“ Ordered through DoorDash and its the best sushi Ive had in the bay delivery or not. Super fresh, the tempura is crunchy and the albacore bbq is amazing. ”
“ Some of the best delivery I have ever had. The seared tuna special essentially tuna tataki is FAR better than the versions Ive had from Kansai, Izza, and Koryo no hate to them, Ill still order there, but Matsuyama took it to another level. The Maui roll was so delicious and a great portion. I will say the chicken karaage is the least like any Ive ever had, so kind of a miss but not bad by any means. Ill definitely order from here again! ”
“ Im floored by the quality of fish from Matsuyama. Its always so fresh which inspires me to come again and try either something new or my usual crowd pleaser. The sakekawa, negihama are solid simple rolls. Their sashimi combos always are so fresh and delicious. The popcorn shrimp, geisha, matsuyama special and Tokyo rolls are all solid. We always order from the food hall and pick up before heading home and its always a good experience. Thanks for all the amazing meals and being the best take out sushi in Oakland! ”
