A really excellent addition to the Oakland lunch scene. Officially I'm opposed to sushi gimmicks, but off the record, the sushi donut is actually kind of adorable. It's the perfect size for a very light lunch or a large midday snack. The poke bowls are delicious and huge, definitely worth the $11 price tag (heads up that the "house" poke bowl is on the spicier side). The presentation in general is just excellent. In terms of freshness, this place is definitely above average, and the folks who work there are really friendly and chill.
The seating area upstairs looks like it's still being renovated, so I wouldn't bring your lady or gentleman friend here for a fancy night out just yet, but it's great for a casual lunch or dinner. I'm not looking forward to the end of the summer because this place is gonna get PACKED, but they'll have earned it.
