Fish On Fire - Danville

A rare 5 rating from me, this place has amazingly fresh food, creative combinations, and variety of food udons, sushi, rice plates, etc). Set up as a hole-in-the-wall, this rating hinges on 2 things: great food and super friendly service. GREAT FOOD: -love the variety and strange combinations. Lots of spicy rolls too... yum! -Drunken dragon is fantastic: flambé roll with gives it a slightly cooked texture and allow the flavors to mix. Plus a fun experience!!! -They have a good kids special for those 12 and under that makes going out with the family less financially burdensome. We paid a bit more for Chicken Katsu, and it was probably the best Panko breaded chicken fillet the kids have ever had they made sure to let us know). we hear the Chicken teriyaki is also good. Kids bento box comes with California rolls and 4 gyozas. Score! -They have a draft mini fridge looking thing. Freshly served Sapporo was delish. -For dessert, we got the classic mochi: mango and strawberry! FRIENDLY SERVICE: Hey, we waited 35 mins to be seated, but we always felt welcome, like good old friends. Looks like it is a family owned business husband and wife, maybe one of the servers is family), and they strive to make people happy. Frequently check to make sure you're doing great, and genuinely hoping you enjoy the food. What to expect: -The place is quite small, sitting area does not offer lots of space, so you'll dine close to strangers. No worries, the crowd that comes here are families and young professionals, all very nice. -You will likely have to wait for a table we went on a Friday night and waited 35 mins for our turn). There will be a clipboard up front where you can wrote down your name on the list and wait patiently. No space/sitting area to wait BTW. -Lots of orders to go which may slow down your dine-in orders. While we were there, at least 4 families came in, picked up bags and left. Seems like some local regulars. -Its location is good, within a nice r) suburbia strip mall. However parking is scarce, so you may need to circle around a couple of times. There are other restaurants and a gym in this mall which seems to make it a hot destination on weekend nights. Drunken dragon: my fave.

Love it! Got here just before they got SWAMPED!! Lil waitress had her hands full attending to every table in the house. Backup showed up and the rolls started coming out.. delicious! We irdered spicey jamie and spider to start...if you love spicey order Jamie. We also had: base ball 2, james dean, dragon and my most favorite ::: out of control!! Tiny spot, fresh, clean, hospitable, just GO. Worth it We drove all the way over from Brentwood and we werent disappointed. Tip- go early it takes a while to get your rolls and limited seating. We arrived at 5:30pm they open at 5pm. 5:40pm no tables left..wait time 45m

Great sushi reasonably priced. They had selections i havent seen before. Restraunt was clean and service was prompt. I think you will enjoy it

Small cute little place in a plaza. Quick notes: young pretty Korean waitress was soooooo sweet and attentive. Seems she was new since she didn't know all the items on menu food was super fast! My dad thought the donburi was luke warm, but the spider rolls I got was pretty good. sake was super cheap, cold sake for 6.00! Wow chix teriyaki was a huge portion, not bad and next time, sauce on side. Was all breast, didn't see much fat. Overall, service was great, food pretty good and nice area. Will be back

In recent days this has become our go to local sushi joint. The fish is fresh and the portions are large. Tuna, Yellowtail, Salmon all excellent. We have also enjoyed the Chirashi, miso soup, hand rolls, maki, etc it 's all good and very reasonably priced. I 'd give them 6* if I could.
