Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Berkeley, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Berkeley is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Berkeley follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We have been to Kirala a few times and have always enjoyed the service and food. On this occasion we dropped in just after they opened on a Saturday evening. No surprise that they were already full. So we grabbed a seat at the bar. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered the rib-eye teriyaki dinner and a mixed tempura dish. Comes with miso, rice and veggies. Everything was very good and flavorful.

Good sushi and sashimi. The online reservation/ "save your spot in line" is a bit disorganized and the price for the meal is on the higher side. Overall a good place to visit if you roll with the flow.

this is the worst Japanese restaurant I’ve ever had. At first after we order we wait at least 20mins before our first skewers served. The next table old couples they arrived even later than us but they got served ahead of us. But that’s acceptable the most annoying thing is I ate the shells from the eggs in the undoπŸ˜…πŸ˜… and I’m so shocked bro this noodles should be called as undo? They’re so flat and thin… sushi is also mid. Never recommend!

Very amazing sushi everytime. I got the white tuna as an extra nigiri, honestly it was the best tuna out of the bunch tonight and was completely melt-in-your-mouth. Absolutely delicious!!

Best thing I ate here? The gyoza. And that's not that much. Heard that this place was great, but after a 45min wait on a weekend evening what I came out with was overpriced mediocre sushi. Sat at the bar and the waiter didn't even do the courtesy of coming by to get my order. Had to shout to him across the bar. Which, he ended up getting wrong. I know, shocking... Honestly, there are way better ways to spend your hard earned money.
