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 Iβve 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 thatβs acceptable the most annoying thing is I ate the shells from the eggs in the undoπ π and Iβm so shocked bro this noodles should be called as undo? Theyβre so flat and thinβ¦ 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.
