Oakland: Uzen Japanese Cuisine; restaurant review + things to do

sushi counter at Uzen Japanese Cuisine in Oakland, California
880 South

Uzen Japanese Cuisine  

5415 College Ave./Hudson St., (510) 654-7753.  L M-F, D M-Sat; $$.  Takes reservations. 

Narrow and deep, this small spot manages to squeeze in a full-size sushi bar.  Sushi (vegan sushi, too) and sashimi are the strong points at Uzen Japanese Cuisine, but udon noodles, salmon free-range Rocky chicken teriyaki, tempura, and katsu don (fried pork cutlet) all share the menu.


Bella Vita 

5307 College Ave., (510) 653-1639.

Nearby, Bella Vita stocks a browse-worthy collection of locally handmade goods plus children’s items and some new and vintage clothing. 

Rockridge Home 

5418 College Ave., (510) 420-1928.  Daily 11-8. 

Across the street, the Rockridge Home gift and kitchen shop is stocked with a spectacular and colorful selection of goods.  You’ll find items for children, for organizing your home, and for thrilling a giftee.




Way more things to do in Oakland.

More ideas for exploring Northern California.
