definitely a must try! We got there before 5:30 and they were nice enough to let us in. So we really appreciated that. We were a little confused with ordering but once we got it down, we were able to order like pros! The food is soo fresh!!!! I wish they had MORE options! But what they have is amazing & it was all so delicious. We also ordered cocktails & the cheesecake, HOLY BEST THING EVER! I would go back just for dessert it was amazing! The location is a little small since it is the old pizza spot, but it's perfect & intimate for small groups.

ordered takeout for lunch. It was pretty good, but not my favorite. I noticed that there were some tables inside it's quite small. It was around 1pm and there wasn't much people inside. The sushi tasted alright to me, the fish wasn't as fresh and what I had at other spots.

Recently ordered lunch to-go from Mujiri, and I was impressed with the quality and the portion size. The sushi was fresh, with great portion, making it a satisfying meal. And everything was packed carefully for takeout. Whenever I am craving quality sushi to-go, this is the first place that comes to mind. Can't wait to come back to try their dinner in sometime soon.

Amazing service & team! I had to call in to adjust my reservation. They were very nice about it! The indoor dining is a very tight and intimate space. Not great for parties 4+ but I do think it's perfect for date nights! The nigiris were amazing!!! & their yuzu cocktail is a must get! We had to basically try everything on the menu because everything was tasting so fresh and delicious! I love the way the sushi chefs would pair sauces and garnishes on some of the rolls and nigiri! I am absolutely a fan of this restaurant, I just wish we had one closer to the South Bay!

My go to place to bring friends, a night out, or to pop in and grab a solo bite to eat. I live nearby so this is a great addition to the neighborhood without having to drive a ridiculous distance for good sushi. I have also ordered a crazy amount of take out from here too. It's always a hit and still fresh by the time I get home. Service can be a little hit or miss but it depends on how busy they are. The one guy who runs the host stand/waiter is great and always quick. My go to is their nigiri combo which comes with 7 pieces of fish and a hosomaki. I also love their spicy salmon roll.

I was craving some nigiri and had to stop by for the 7 piece nigiri + maki combo ($25). I went for hamachi, toro, black snapper, amberjack, ocean trout, arctic char, and hokkaido scallop. The maki rolls is the chef's choice and seemed to be hamachi. I ordered for takeout so I can't comment on dining in, though the restaurant is on the smaller side. I would say the pieces are on the smaller side, but are higher quality than most. I love the fact that you can taste the freshness of the fish and that each nigiri is unique. They share the same rice base (I think) and don't need any additional sauce in my opinion and I enjoy that you can choose the nigiri you want. The nigiri and maki make for a pretty filling meal, though I'm always dying for more! My favorite was the hamachi, toro, and black snapper but they were all delicious. The price and quality has held steady even with other places increasing so I'm really happy that Hayward has such a great sushi spot. I can't wait to get more.

Delicious and authentic sushi in Hayward? YES!! Caught up with an old friend here for dinner on a recently Tuesday evening. We got here a few minutes after opening and half the tables were already taken with a couple others reserved. We were fortunate that there was one open table for us besides at the sushi bar. The restaurant sports a small and intimate setting with just a handful of tables plus seating at the bar. There's a QR code on the table where you place your order. Multiple people in your party can scan the same code and add items to the "single tab/order". You pay for the meal at the end through your waiter or waitress and not online. We ordered two rounds of food which included 11 pairs of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. The wall displayed a handwritten menu of fresh fish from Japan, offering unique options we hadn't tried before. All which could be ordered via the online menu. The fish was fresh and was presented in a suggested order from which nigiri to start and end with. Service was attentive and welcoming. I also ordered their two vegetarian sushis togo and they were packaged in a cool wooden tray with a plastic cover. Great presentation even for a to-go order! Street parking can be tough but there is a public lot directly across the street with at least 30-40 spaces. I can't wait to come back...but this time I'll make a reservation.

Mujiri might be the best sushi restaurant in Hayward at the moment. When I say sushi I'm not talking about the typical lion king rolls or caterpillar rolls. They make fresh nigiri rolls and serve fresh sashimi here. Nothing but fresh simple and good quality ingredients. Who knew there would be a gem tucked away in Hayward next to a auto shop. The restaurant is perfect for a date night or even a solo treat yourself evening. I think the max capacity in there is around 20 people. Either sit at the bar and chat with the chefs or crammed in the corner table that can fit 4 max. A friend recommended this restaurant and told us they import their fish daily from Japan. Which I don't think is very common with a lot of Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area. I doubt the fish on your Lion King is imported from Japan. The menu here is simple. They serve nigiri, sashimi and a variety of maki rolls. It might sound small but it's actually a vast selection. Also a nigiri combo for $25 is pretty good deal. That's a price I didn't pass up. First bite and you can tell the quality is up to par. Every piece tasted fresh and the sushi rice is addicting. In my opinion, soy sauce is not needed here. The flavor from just the fish and rice alone is enough. So high quality food and great staffs all around. I will be back for another meal.

Finally checked this place off my food list and it was everything I imagined! Great sushi at a great price! The prices can't be beat for the quality and amount of food you get! $25 for 7 piece nigiri and a chef choice maki? YES PLEASE. The warm rice was lightly seasoned paired with the buttery fish that just embraces each other. After devouring my nigiri combo, I ordered the sashimi combo as well. You get 16 piece for only $35! I would say that the sashimi cuts are on the thinner side but in this economy, this is still a steal. Presentation of the food was beautiful as it really showcase the effort being put into making our food. I got bar seating so I have the opportunity to see the care that the chefs put into making each piece. The restaurant seems a bit tucked away since there is a lot of road work happening outside the building. The interior has clean minimalist decor (black walls + dim warm lighting) which makes me feel like I'm dining in the alley way of Japan. The restaurant is pretty small so try to make a reservation if you can! Customer service: friendly but since we were sitting at the corner at the bar, it was a little difficult to get the attention of the server to place our order. Final verdict, this has now become one of my favorite places to grab sushi! I just wish that it was little closer to home so that I can come here on a weekly basis lol.

Crossed the San Mateo bridge to get here but worth it! The fish is flavorful and fresh at a reasonable price! The space is small so call ahead to make a reservation. We love arctic char and that was one of the pieces!
