Aki-San is decreasing to 2 nights per week starting in June! No more Thursdays. Friday and Saturday only. But I am glad he isn't retiring yet!!
Wonderful high end sushi spot.
Service is intimate and fantastic. The best in the east bay.
Tried omakase and it's very fresh than traditional sushi
Tried omakase and it's very fresh than traditional sushi and sashimi. Hoping to schedule one soon.
Review for dinner service on 6 March 25.
I had been trying off and on to get a booking but nothing was ever available, so I was pleasantly surprised to snag a seating for two within a week of the reservation because a fellow Yelper cancelled her reservation (thank you Sarah T!) The followin
Truly a disappointing and expensive experience.
We went for our anniversary after timing reservations just right (booking at midnight thirty days out or so),, and I wish we had gone anywhere else. The chef was incredibly rude and condescending, kept demanding my husband explain what cold smoking
It has always been a pleasure to dine at sushi Sho.
Aki San and Michiko San made the experience truly enjoyable. The food was fantastic (smoke salmon, wagyu, Uni, and chu toro are my favorites), the service was impeccable, and the conversation was enlightening. The best omakase dinning experience in

This is a fantastic rare experience that was worth every penny. It really is a Sho! We were there about four hours, ate delicious food, and were extremely entertained by the master sushi chef. I am so glad I finally ticked this off my bucket list.

Getting a reservation took some time, but once you are able to get one, the experience is lovely. It is omakase only, which was about 150 per person, it is approximately a 2.5-3 hour experience with no more than 6 diners. The cuts of fish are very f

Sushi Sho is a really special experience, Aki San is a master of his craft and every piece of nigiri he serves is top quality and perfectly balanced. Yes, it's going to take forever, and yes he will tell you exactly how to eat the sushi if you d
Best sushi I have had in the states.
Aki-San is also a fantastic chef; very funny, and makes the omakase a real treat of an experience. Worth every penny.
Aki San is a legend.
Come in and have a try before he retires! The best omakase in east bay (at least)!
Best sushi in the East Bay.
While the menu has a few appetizers, everyone is served an omakase sushi dinner. Fresh, well-prepared, delicious nigiri sushi with lots of banter and information from Aki-san (the chef and owner)

Now only serving omakase Get in before he retires!! Still the best omakase quality He has reduced to 1 seating per night 3 nights a week
Each piece of sushi here tasted amazing, it was top quality
Each piece of sushi here tasted amazing, it was top quality for the Bay Area. Real japanese style omakase with well sourced ingredients. The chef was sweet, and I think the sensitive people here who give 1 stars for not liking him simply do not h

Every single bite is a masterpiece; chef is a culinary artist. He's also hilarious; dry sense of humor all day. Service is warm and intimate-- every patron at the bar is a part of the show, but a part of the family too. It was an honor to be a part o

Amazing.
Owner is part of the whole experience. Sushi was different to eat with backstory to each piece.
The food was good.
Similar to other Omakase we had in the bay. The 3.5 hr service for the 16 piece of sushi is a bit too long to enjoy a meal. We got there at 7:30pm and didn't leave until 10:50pm.
Wonderful food, quaint and intimate atmosphere.
Service was good. Did I mention the wonderful omakase ?
This is pure joy in every bite! If you can even get a
This is pure joy in every bite! If you can even get a reservation go for the 16 piece meal. You will never want it to end...
The fish is really good and it's a steal at the posted
The fish is really good and it's a steal at the posted prices - especially in this area. What I didn't care for - was a 16pc meal that started at 5:45pm didn't end until 9:30 p.m. and the first piece wasn't served until almost an hour after seating.
The Omakase is outstanding.
We had the twelve-piece menu. High quality. Fresh and delicious. The chef was very friendly and funny. Price is very reasonable. We made the reservation three months ahead of time. We'll definitely be back.

1. Book the next available reservation on yelp. Look out for last minute cancellations. 2. Order C Course - 16 pieces. Don't worry, you will finish it. It is worth every dollar. 3. Repeat steps 1-2. This is by far the best omakase sushi I've had (in
You're lucky if you can get a reservation.
You're foolish if you get one and don't get the $120 omakase option. The additional pieces are easily $60 more at other restaurants. Get the pressed salmon box. Thank me later. Note: I could have done without the raw quail egg but everyone else loved

I went to Sushi Sho in August because I wanted to try an omakase experience and noticed a lot of places didn't let you make a reservation for a party of 1. But Sushi Sho did! I entered a small restaurant with 11 other people all seated around the Sus

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sushi Sho El Cerrito. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi Sho El Cerrito at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi Sho El Cerrito page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Sushi Sho El Cerrito to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi Sho El Cerrito!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
