Tancho Japanese Restaurant

Superb. Excellent fish. Attentive and friendly service. Extensive sake menu.

I'm by no means an expert in sushi, however, I would describe myself as a lover of eating sushi. Omakse-style restaurants are hard to come by on this side of The Bay and I cant express my happiness and gratitude that we have an establishment like this in the East Bay.

I ordered two of the Omakase boxes togo and all I can say is wow. The rice used is not your typical sushi rice as it is a blend of 2 kind or rice cooked with red vinegar. That combined with the fish really created a new type of taste for me. The cuts of fish given to you vary and depend on what cuts were brought in so, dont look a one picture and expect it to receive the same product.

The cuts of fish are a little thinner than I am used to but still packed plenty of flavor when you eat it. I rather have a thinner cut of something amazing than a thick cut of something that is just okay.

A lot of time and care went into preparing the food as well as packaging. I wished I took pictures of how well everything was packed as well as the box itself but, I was hungry. I'll definitely come back for take-out and look forward to actually dining in at this place. It's such a gem and I would like this place to stay as long as possible.

My wife and I have ordered here a couple of times during their soft opening. Absolutely phenomenal service and amazing food. Fresh fish and beautifully prepared

I knew they were still in the soft opening phase, so I requested if they can do a custom takeout order for my husband’s birthday. They were very accommodating and friendly. We were impressed by the quality of their fish, especially tuna. This will definitely be our go to place without driving hours into the SF city to have an decent omakase experience. Can’t wait to join their service in person! :)

It was one of the best sushi places in the states. I’m from Tokyo and I have had many good sushi places including Michelin star restaurants.
The take out box was so neat and attention to detail.
