Kakui - Oakland

The food is generally quite tasty, but the service tends to be inconsistent. Since the restaurant opened years ago, it has never quite reached a high standard. Additionally, the interior could use some cleaning and updating.

The owner is a sake specialist, making it a great opportunity to savor exceptional selections. The signature rolls are delightful, and you definitely shouldn't miss the 49er roll.

The crab cakes were an excellent appetizer; the sushi was fresh and delicious, and the miso soup was delightful.

Great first experience. The squid was our favorite. Service was very good. We’ll be back!

As usual, superb food, good service and a great meal all around. This time we had some salmon sashimi which was delicious..fresh and a nice amount for sharing, along with Kakui rolls, french roll, and a simple tempura California role. That, along with a beer and a carafe of the house saki made for great eating. We had dessert this time, which we seldom do....a lovely small half-coconut with coconut ice cream and a hollowed out peach with peach ice cream. Finished the meal beautifully.
